There will be a head-fi meet at Music To My Ear on August 4th. @MTMECraig can be messaged for more details about the shop. The last meet here was a blast with a great deal of interesting gear to try. Returning will be the ZMF Dynamics provided by Zach and local owners to try out. I'll be...

Hey, I have this custom made headphone amp I got from a friend. He paid a couple hundred dollars for it from some random guy on eBay. I believe its some form of cmoy amp, and he got ripped off. Regardless of whether or not its a rip off, it was free for me. Obviously there arent any...

Hey. Oddly enough, I did a search and failed to find a good answer. Perhaps this is just too newby a question. How loud is the sound bleeding from an open pair of headphones when worn? I am looking to buy a pair of Fischer Audio FA-011s. For a reference, is it about as loud as a closed back...

Hello. I recently lent out my FX500s for ONE hour to a friend. They returned them, and now one side doesn't produce sound. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o So... Whats a good alternative to the JVC FX500s for around $150 ($200 maybe)? Short and sweet, need some suggestions. If there are some...

So I'm trying to work here and its late.  I decided to use my ER-4Ps for a change while I work.  So as I laboriously put them on with those dumb, yet nice sounding, giant yellow foam tips, I had a mischievous idea.  I played some dubstep!   Now I benched the ER-4Ps for their difficulty...

Hey, I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0, and I've found that posting is almost impossible.  I get frequent crashes when trying to type out a message and the backspace and space keys don't register.  On Google Chrome, everything works just fine.

Hello, I have been using my on-board sound from my Biostar T5XE, which is the best on-board I've heard BTW, but I would like an upgrade.  The problem?  I have two of these in SLI...

Hello, I'm looking for the best neutral IEM I can find for a friend of mine.  I believe he does have a decent ear for audio as he has worked as a sound tech. for the past few years and has undoubtedly heard some decent equipment.  The problem is that he doesn't own any equipment that I would...

Hello, I'm looking for a decent ~$100 portable amp for my JVC FX500s and ATH-M50s (arriving tomorrow). I am looking into this mystery amp, please look to see if you have any information on it. Thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f105/d...ne-amp-480122/ Now my search has lead me to...

My friend has a custom made headphone amp that he may sell me. It was bought by his "audiophile" stepfather. I don't believe his stepfather knows what he is talking about half the time so bare with me. He bought it off of a guy on Ebay named Tubesound99, this guy made three levels of quality. My...

Hello, I am looking into headphones for my friend and I decided to make a specific thread for this. Are their any headphones out there for $200 or less that sound similar to the AD700s, IE very detailed, but have some decent bass. Open or closed doesn't matter, and they don't have to have the...

Hey, I've been researching a lot online, many will recognize me from my frantic pleas for help on here, and have talked about it to my friend who owns ER-4Ps, we got into the higher end IEMs together back with the ER-6s and then onto the ER-4Ps for him and Super.fi 5 Pros for me. He asked me...

Hey, I have been researching headphones for a while now on the forums. I've been convinced that I needed a budget increase from $100 to $150 where there seems to be many more options. So as per the title, I'm looking for Headphones for computer listening with music, metal, dubstep...

Hello, I've been looking some headphones for a while now and have narrowed down my list. Ultimately, I'm finding it impossible to choose. My budget is ~$100 and I'm looking for headphones for gaming and music (metal, rock, electronica, dubstep, rap, and a little instrumental). They need bass...

Hello, I'm looking at headphones, I have another thread up, and I am interested in the Denon ah-d1001s. I noticed that I can get the ah-d1000s much cheaper than the d1001s, so what is the difference between these two? They look the same and have the same specs, is it just the carrying pouch...

Hello, I'm looking into some gaming headphones. I originally was looking into headsets, but it quickly became apparent that it would be best to buy real headphones and a separate mic. I am looking at the Sennheiser HD555, my budget is about $100, for gaming, and music should I enjoy them. I...

Well, I'll be honest, I basically know whats wrong, but I need some confirmation. My the left speaker, the one without the amp, of my Swan D1080MKIIs makes a buzzing sound with loud (and low) bass hits while my right does not. All connections are secures, I've tried a new sound card, and putting...

Hello, I am looking into upgrading my UE Super.fi 5 Pros to some Dynamic driver IEMs so that I can get a nice boost in the bass department. I know the Sennheiser IE8s are basically the best, but their price is far too high for me and eCost doesn't seem reputable, especially with their clearance...

Hello I am looking to upgrade from my Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pros and have narrowed down myself to 3 IEMs, but I need help on a final decision and I have some questions. Please correct any of my points for me encase I misinterpreted something from a review. For the record I listen to rock...

Hello, I am a long time reader of Head-fi, but never really got into the audio world as much as most people here. That said, I do appreciate good sound and while I despise bad audio, I'm not extremely picky. For example, I currently use some Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pros, decent earphones all...

Hey, I currently own a pair of UE Super.fi 5 Pros and I am thinking of an upgrade. I am looking at the Triple.fi 10s, but here is the problem: My UE's don't work too well for my uses. I like to listen to my IEMs stationary AND while running. The problem is that they just don't fit well, even...

Hey, I'm tired of my aging Logitech Z-3 set of 2.1 speakers which are noticeably worse than they were new. I looked around for a bit and was deliberating between a set of Logitech Z-2300s or Z Cinemas until I stumbled upon this forum once again and saw plenty of posts saying Logitech speakers...

Hello, I just ordered an Archos 5 and am hearing about the crippled output of only 9mw. I have UE Super.fi 5 Pros, and though they don't require much with dual drivers and only 32omhs Impedance, I am worried. To increase the bass response, lower distortion, and to increase volume a bit I am...
