Hello,   I would like a full-size set of cans that would be an upgrade from my Shure 535. When I say upgrade, really the only thing I don't like about the Shure 535 is the lack of low, visceral bass.   So, I would like something that retains all the positives of the Shure, plus adds the...

Well, in order to listen to music while working with my laptop in cafes or where ever, I decided to buy a portable DAC/AMP. I have Shure 535 IEMs.   First, I tried the Dragonfly (scheduled to be returned), and there is quite a bit of hiss just plugging it into the USB port without playing...

Sorry, I put this in the computer audio forum, and then saw a message that said DAC threads should go here.   Hello,   I just recently bought a new laptop mostly so I can work in coffee shops and such as I am a freelance translator. It is an Asus laptop that comes with a little subwoofer...

Hello,   I just recently bought a new laptop mostly so I can work in coffee shops and such as I am a freelance translator. It is an Asus laptop that comes with a little subwoofer. Anyway the noise that comes out the headphone jack on the laptop is insane, so I did some research and bought the...

Hello, I am looking for a new IEM. I listen mostly to drumnbass, so the IEM needs to have quality bass and quantity. There is always sub bass and a kick drum, and usually another bass that rides with the sub. So the ability to handle all of this well is a must. I hate high end sibilance and...

Hello everyone. I have my car audio system set up with an Alpine 9855J and the IPOD connector adaptor so I can directly connect my IPOD to the car stereo and control the IPOD through the Alpine. When I listen to the IPOD alone, I always use the "Deep" EQ setting. I like how it really tones...

Well, I am just wanting some smallish flash-based player that will work for the gym. I have E5Cs, but not sure if that will work for the gym. Actually, I have been lugging my huge as 30G Zen Xtra at the gym with the E5Cs, but sweat keeps getting in there and screwing up the sound. The biggest...

Hi all. I have a pair of Shure E5Cs, which I bought thanks to all the information I found from reading this site. I absolutely love them. Now, I am having a problem with sweat. When I work out at the gym, particularly on cardio days, I sweat alot, and it seems to be getting inside the left...

I know this is the portable audio section, so I thought this would be the best place to ask about car audio. Anybody know of a good forum like this one for car audio?

I bought the Shure E5s about 6 weeks ago. At first I thought the left phone was broken, cause the sound is just a little stonger on the right, making the sound uncentered, seeming to come mostly from the right side, especially vocals and that kind of mid-range. Also, I wore them to the gym...

I have been deciding for months what headphone to buy, and I finally decide on the Sensaphonics 2X-S. However, I live in Japan, so it must mean that I live in a twilight zone outside of reality as it seems nearly impossible to get this done, whether Sensaphonics or Ultimate Ears. I live in...

So, which is better for our application? I am ready to start buying tools, so I have been doing some research and didn't even know gas irons existed. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello, I first came here to learn about headphones for my portable mp3 player, but have stumbled over here and looked around a bit. Frankly, I really don't understand much of whats going here. However, I am hooked and I want start building stuff, especially a tube amp. But, how do I get...

OK, hello everyone, I am new to this site/forum. I was hoping yall could help me out. First, my source. I just bought a Creative Zen Xtra 30G portable mp3 player. So, first of all, studio headphones obviously dont apply. I would be willing to also purchase an amp/and or other equipment if...
