    Over ear IEM for under $100

    Hey guys, in the market for some IEM again as I am giving away my Panasonic because they just don't fit me right on the go. I value comfort the most on the go and have great memories of UM3x with W3 medium tips and would get them again if money is no item. Unfortunately I don't really use my...

    Quick a/b of Beats Solo vs. ATH-ES7

    Ok, seeing that there isn't a whole lot of beats solo impression in this forum and since my roommate just won a pair from Staples. I'll do a quick a/b with my ATH-ES7. It's not in the same league as HD 600 so I won't even try. First I want to say that the beats solo seems pretty stylish...

    How's the DT 990 vs. the HD 600? And amping question.

    Couple questions with an underdriven HD600

    Hey guys, I have had the HD600 for about a months now and for the most part pretty happy with just driving them with the D4 with topkit.

    Fiio L3

    Hey guys, I've been digging around the internet and couldn't find anywhere in the us that sells the L3? So besides that one guy from Dublin on eBay, is there anywhere else that stocks the L3(or if you want to sell me one)? No luck with either mp4 nation nor head-direct.   Thanks guys!

    Hey guys, got a pair of HD600 today and after about 5 hours of listening I've decided that they are going to be my home pair and since I am a poor college student, I cannot justify keeping the HD 600 with my Ortofon eq7 even though I like the Ortofon just as much. So I'm looking to downgrade to...

    Non-audiophile impression of W2, W3, UM3X and previously MTP, RE0

    First, let me preface this and say that I am not an audiophile, that's my dad. I'm merely interested in finding a pair of IEM that will work for me straight out of my iPod which may not be the best source but certainly has to be one of the more popular mobile player anywhere. Growing up with my...
