    Help me decide on an IEM under $150

    Thank you, after a hard decision I went with GR07 BE.   Its funny how I could have got by with $30 earbuds, but the quest for the better sound always seems to win out in the end and trump the other factors.  Sort of like a drug addiction... or putting more on your plate than you can possibly...

    Help me decide on an IEM under $150

    Hi guys-   I'm looking for a general use IEM, target price around $100 or $150.  Source device is android phone (htc one)   Ergonomics- I will be traveling, so I need something that is not too bulky and is comfortable and has decent isolation. Would really like something that I could wear...

    Reply to review by 'tru\head' on item 'Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Closed Studio Headphones'

    I mean, it depends. Since a decent amp costs as much as these headphones or more, it's probably not "worth" it. It makes the bass a little more punchy but generally these drive really well without an amp. Now I would say if you really enjoy listening to headphones and you plan to get another...

    Review by 'tru\head' on item 'Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Closed Studio Headphones'

    The DT770 is a lower priced model of the Beyer line, but it is a boiled down version of the Beyer sound and one of the best values in closed headphones. While known for excellent bass response generally, you will also find them one of the most comfortable in the price range. The ear cups aren't...

    MP3 Bitrate test!

    I listened to each twice before choosing and was correct. The bitrate of mp3's is given away easily in the distortion of the highs, especially percussion such as cymbals and piercing vocals. I think if they had played a rock song instead of the opera singer it would have been easier to...

    If I blasted 15 hertz at 150 dB would I be deaf?

    Steve meade could probably answer that question + YouTube Video ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed. It's really amazing that he isn't deaf yet. That video was 20,000w. His latest system has 30,000w. I don't think there is...

    ~$200 for first big set of headphones

    Quote: You say you want closed back headphones; is this for the isolation, or do you prefer the sound signature? There are plenty of great advantages to both, but if we knew just what you were looking for from a closed headphone, it'd be useful for a recommendation. Yeah i'd sorta...

    Want to upgrade from dt770

    Looking to upgrade to a more detailed full-size headphone. I'm using a zero-dac with optical output from my computer. I listen to hip-hop, some metal, and do a lot of gaming. Some headphones I used in the past- grado SR-60, i found extremely detailed and up-close but not very comfortable to use...

    Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    I have owned this for maybe 1 year now? But lately the power cable of this amp is becoming loose have to kind of press it down on the back of the amp for the power to stay on, otherwise it has performed well. I checked back on this thread because i remember there was some instruction at...

    Do I need a DAC with my AMP?

    it's subjective. hook it up and decide if it sounds good to you. given your setup, the x-fi isn't bad so i think that is the best idea.

    Assuming SPDIF output, what makes one soundcard better than another?

    i don't see much justification in spending more than I have to on a generic usb -> spdif connector. there will always be someone who will argue that various expensive digital components make a difference over cheap generic items (such as using a more expensive optical cable?), but...
