Hey fellow head-fiers    My band Airlift has a new EP coming out in May and for the fun of it we're asking people to help us name it.   Just submit a name in the comments below, and feel free to submit as many as you want. Whoever submits the "winning" name will get a free copy of the...

I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I have a pair of B&W P7 that I absolutely love. By and away, they are my favorite closed headphones. Unfortunately, I can't really wear full-sized headphones at work anymore, so what I'm looking for now is a pair of IEMs that have a similar sound...

After reading countless posts, I bit the bullet and I got the K550 this weekend.  For the most part I like them. Though, there are some issues that I have with them and now I don't know if I should return the K550 and get the D600 (or something completely different).     I got the K550...

I know that for most of you, after reading the thread title you are crawling out of your skin.     Here's the skinny: I wanted to listen to the Met Live Broadcast with headphones yesterday afternoon (my wife hates Wagner) but left my SE535 at work.  I grab my Apple dual driver IEMs out of my...

        From Macnn: "Klipsch has quietly introduced a new upscale pair of over-ear headphones. The Mode steps up above Klipsch's regular pair with active noise cancellation but also promises to fix the short runtime the earpieces often have. Full noise reduction should last 45...

      From Macnn.com:   "The in-ear headphones are tailored to runners with a new 'secure loop' that should keep the buds in an ideal position rather than gradually slip out. Even the weighting, made of tungsten, is designed to keep the design comfortable by balancing them towards the...

The other week I purchased a pair of W4, and I have to say that they are absolutely amazing--they have great synergy with my setup, too.     Just a quick question: Does anyone know what full sized headphones are the closest to the W4's sound signature?   Sorry if this has been asked...

If anyone is interested, today on Soundcheck (on WNYC, NYC's NPR station) they debate headphones versus earbuds.  It airs at 2pm (14:00) EST.  It can be heard online at this link:   http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/    If you miss it, they will have it posted on the site and streamed...

Incase anyone is interested, I just came across this on Etymotic's website:   ER•4PT, the newest model in the MicroPro series, is intended for sound engineers and audiophiles in constant motion. ER•4PT combines the acoustic characteristics and features of ER•4P earphones, and comes with...

Sennheisher has announced the IE 8 with iPhone controls, called the IE 8i.   http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headsets_stereo-mobile-phone_504173     This is in addition to several other models now with iPhone controls...

After listening to my W3 for a while I have come to think that the bass is a touch too loose. Is there an IEM that is similar but with tighter bass? I had the MTPC and IE8 but prefer the W3 over them. How would the UM3X compare in this regard? I have looked through the W3 vs UM3X threads...

HI   I was wondering if anyone could help me with some suggestions.    I currently have the Sennheiser PX100 and am really happy with them, far more than I am with my Grado GS1000 (which never leave their box).  I am looking to replace the Grados with a new pair of headphones that have...

  My trusty vintage Pioneer stereo is finally on the outs, which puts me in the market for a new setup.  I was going to have it repaired, but the cost of the repair is the same as a new stereo receiver.  Also, I am looking to upgrade my speakers.  My total budget is about $1000, so I thought...

Hello,  I recently purchased a pair of S4is that seem to be conducting a significant amount of static electricity through the cable.  The result is a popping sound and a discomforting shocking sensation where the earphones touch my outer ears.   Does anyone else have this problem?  Did I...

I guess to clarify: does one model do a particular genre better than the other, making owning both not ridiculous or redundant? Thanks

I just ordered a pair of UE Triple.fi 10, which should be arriving tomorrow morning. I was excited to receive them but a friend of mine just said that their build quality has gone down since Logitech took over UE. In anticipation of possibly returning them, I ordered a pair of Senn. IE7. I...

I just received the GR8s yesterday and, noting the lack of reviews online, decided to offer my first impression of these IEMs after a couple hours of use. (Please don't attack me for not liking your favorite IEMs... this quick impression is based on my personal preferences and...
