I was wondering if lossless audio would be worth it in my situation. Most of my songs now are 256kbps AAC or 256kbps MP3 and I was wondering if I should consider ripping my songs in Apple Lossless or FLAC. What do you think?

How do you guys think these will sound? I bought the HD 650 used for $265 shipped and can get the LD II++ for roughly $120. What do you guys think? I don't have the budget to spend any more, so how are these going to sound? I haven't received the HD 650 yet, but from what I've read, they pretty...

So after deciding to upgrade from the Beats by Dre to the HD 650, I was wondering what I should use, in addition to my MacBook Pro to get the most out of my cans. Looking to spend $100-200, and since I can't really upgrade my sound card, I was wondering what I should get instead. Will the HD...

Ok, so I have an addiction. I will buy a pair of headphones, love them for about a month, and then start imagining how much better my songs can sound. I went from Apple iBuds, to Apple In-Ears, to the wireless Sennheiser RS146, to the Sennheiser HD 380's, to the HD 595's, to the Beats by Dre...

Coming from an HD 595 and Total BitHead Amp, I tried out the Beats By Dre at at a CanadaComputers store today, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was very well balanced, really nice highs, and what I loved the most: Extremely precise and detailed bass. The whole song just sounded clean. Now...

I'm now the proud new owner of the M-Audio AV40's and wanted to know how this is for a current setup. FLAC song > Total Bithead Amp > AV40's > HD595 Is it beneficial in any way to hook up my HD 595's to the AV40's? I understand they have an amp themselves. The Total Bithead definitely...

Here's my speaker history over the last few years: - Logitech X-230 - Logitech X-540 - Bose Companion 3 - Logitech Z-5500 Just sold the 5500's today, as they were taking up too much space on my desk. Looking for a 2 piece speaker set. Hoping not to go the Logitech route, as I feel they...

Looking for an amp to drive the HD 595's. Can get either for roughly $90-100. The Bithead is portable, which I guess is a plus, but I will rarely be walking around with an amp. But in terms of sound quality, which'll be better? I'm guessing the X-Head, as they aren't portable and retail for...

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009: Apple's Phil Schiller gets up on stage to announce a new software and hardware for Apple. Expected: • iPhone 3.0 Final feature set + Release date. Late June release. • Snow Leopard final feature set + Release date. Final developer preview launch on Tuesday with...

About everyone I show my headphones to immediately goes "You're going to go deaf soon." I'm 16 so still have some fairly fresh ears, but was wondering exactly how much caution do I need to ensure that my hearing isn't going to get damaged? I primarily use the around ear, closed, Sennheiser HD...

Can get them for $90. Are they worth it for use on Sennheiser HD 380's and Apple DDIEM's? Currently have and use the Fiio E5.

A friend of mine seems to think that the Beats By Dre are the best thing ever even at $350 because "It's made by Dr.Dre and has a nice bass". What other headphones could you recommend in this price range as a replacement to the Beats?

I bought by Sennheiser HD 380's for $180 and are really very satisfied with it, but came across a posting for the Sennheiser HD 555's for just $80 on Craigslist. I was wondering if it was worth it to consider buying these. Does the higher price on the HD 380's automatically mean they are...

I was getting a bit tired of the coiled cable on the Sennheiser HD 380's, so decided to try using a standard 3.5" cable that came with the Fiio E5's and it doesn't seem to feet. The actual cable seems to be even smaller and I can't figure out what size or how to replace the cable. I don't even...

Just wondering if the Fiio E5 would present a difference in sound using the new Apple IEM's and the Sennheiser HD 380 on an iPhone and MacBook? Or is it just purely to increase the volume? Just wondering before I hit "buy now"

Just wondering, as I'm still new to the whole Head-Fi scene. Do coiled cables have a real improvement over standard 3.5mm audio cables. I ask because out and about it looks really weird having this huge cable sticking out and I was looking to see if I could just purchase a standard 3.5mm gold...

Looking for something for my ADDIEM and HD 380's and was wondering what the better option would be. It's about $10 vs. $20. Thanks

Currently have the Bose On-Ear headphones which costed about $200 and was wondering if I should upgrade to the Sennheiser HD 380. It'd probably cost me an extra $100 but after everyone on these forums talk so badly about Bose, it leaves me wondering how good the music can truly sound. So...

Looking for a nice pair of cans, under $80. What is the best price/quality?

Over the past couple of months, I've realized how truly bad the standard Apple iPod headphones are, and have since invested in the JBL 410's, Sennheiser RS146, and Apple's new IEM's. I haven't really used IEM's, because they have never fit in my ears. But now, after getting a right seal...

So, I've only recently noticed how bad my iPod earbuds sounded after getting a pair of the JBL 410's. Now, after re-ripping all my CD's to Apple Lossless, I am considering upgrading once again. I am torn between the Sennheiser RS126 and the Sennheiser HD500. Both cost the same for me, at...
