Alclair Reference   As a few close members may have noticed, I have been mostly inactive on Head-Fi for a while now due to various reasons. With my Head-Fi hiatus, I have been able to focus on school and other hobbies, and also gave my wallet some time to recover, until I found other things to...

From simple images, the first thing that comes to mind is Orthodynamic   http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/150646-berkeley-creates-the-first-graphene-earphones-and-unsurprisingly-theyre-awesome

Well browsing my Facebook, I just noticed that Sleek made a status about their new SA7 which has been rumored for QUITE some time now. Here it is, hopefully no one else posted before me. After owning the SA6, I hope Sleek fixed some of the minor flaws associated with the VQ Tuning system. O...

Well, I'm gonna admit that I've been listening to the same music for years. I REALLY think it's time to add a few new albums to my playlist. The problem is, I don't know where to start.   My favorite artists include, in alphabetical order..   ABBA, Adele, Andrea Bocelli, Beethoven...

E11 to Arrow 4G, a comparison   To be honest, I really never believed in portable hi-fi as the bulk gets too fat and it’s hard to appreciate good music while constantly on the go. That’s why I never found interest in dedicated portable amplifiers until when I tried the JDSLabs C421 amp at my...

Hello Head-Fiers, I am currently studying Communication Studies in my University and I have a term paper to write that is due on the 20th of November. I have a solid topic, thesis, and experiment. The only thing that I'm missing now is some "references" and "sources" that is applicable for MLA...

Phonak Audéo PFE232 Review   I’ve had the PFE232 for at least a year now and I was planning on doing a review quite a long while ago, but things got in the way… Anyhow, I’ve decided that I should make one as the Audéo brand has literally erupted since the original PFE112 debuted. I’m not...

I remember hearing a myth where speakers sound better as they get older (so technically with more hours). I find this to be true with musical instruments because as a Clarinet player myself, I found my Wood Clarinet to sound better every year since I bought it new and I'm sure a lot of Violin...

I currently have the Calyx Coffee DAC for my Laptop (I normally use my CD player for music, but despite certain circumstances, I have to resort to my PC often) and I was wondering if anyone has good experience with the Nuforce HDP. I originally bought the Calyx Coffee for it's useful Track Skip...

HIFIMAN HE-400 REVIEW   So you want a strong performing Mid-Fi headphone. As one may already know, Mid-Fi (price) is full of A LOT of very strong performing headphones and the competition is very fierce in order to come out at top. It’s difficult to categorize some, if not all of these...

Okay, the HifiMan EF2A has no physical problems. The only problem is that I just bought a Marrantz CD5003 CD player and the EF2As volume knob is TOO sensitive and there is a channel imbalance... So... Even though the volume knob has, lets say, 10 cm of rotational roll and because the Marrantz's...

OK nice and simple. Local Head-Fi meet. Sunday, September 16th @12:00-5:00 PM (obviously). At Coal Harbour Community Center. Most likely would be Sponsors. Bring your gear. Share your gear. Talk and have fun! This will be (hoping!) a large local meet right here in Vancity! Like I said above...

Really interested in the SRH1840... Being a Canadian, it's hard finding a lot of info about these and I was wondering if anyone had the SRH1840. Also would be interested in some Senn HD700 info too! I know both models are very rare and non-existent. I just want general impressions and details...

Who here wants the cold and precise Etymotic ER-4S? No? Who here wants the cold and precise Etymotic HF5? Who doesn't know which Etymotic to choose? Luckily, I have both and I have owned every other Etymotic product before that as well (minus the ER6). Personally, I’m a huge fan of Etys mostly...

Hi fellow HFiers! I have done a lot of thinking and I made myself 4 possible choices for my first tube amp. I'm planning on using it with the E17&E9 DAC and amp combo via RCA line to the tube amp. I was thinking of the EF5 at first, but I was a little worried by the price tag and the sheer power...

Hi HFiers! Just a quick question. I'm planning to use my E7/E9 combo (soon E17/E9) as a DAC/Pre-amp for a better tube amp. I was looking at the Hifiman EF5 or something better? I'm not entirely aware of Tube amps so I need help on decisions. Is it worth using the E7(17)/E9 as a DAC/Pre-amp? I...

Hey HFiers! I just recently purchased the HD-25 Adidas and already i'm thinking about a re-cable. From what i'm aware of, the HD25-13 has a beefy 600ohm cable and I read a review on them saying it has more mids overall and better balance in the bass compared to the original HD-25 with the 70ohm...

Okay lets put this in simple terms. I have a deal where I can get the Adidas HD-25 for 180ish CAD and the VMODA M80 for 180ish as well... I have auditioned the Sennheiser several times and haven't auditoned the vmodas at all. I want a portable headphone (like these two) that I can take when I...

Okay so today my NEVER USED, BRAND NEW AKG K141 Monitor finally arrived. As soon as I opened the shipping box, the iconic "Cardan" de luxe box is visible with AKG K141 below. I am told that these have the Sextett driver (I have no idea what that means) and my gosh these look good. It comes with...

JUST A HEADS UP. This is my own personal review of MY own customized monitors. Many will find this review to be non-beneficial because for obvious reasons... Just doing this to appreciate how well my Re-mold went with Unique Melody and to share my experiences with the SCL3X.   Unique Melody...

Hi, I just have a few questions about the Sennheiser HD 25-13 and the cable. I was thinking about purchasing the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II so what's the difference between the 1 model and the 13? I was told only the cable is the only difference so realistically speaking they are the same product...

Today i was browsing ebay and i found the Vintage AKG K141 for sale. Not knowing about them a lot, i contacted the dealer and did my own research on the headphones. The dealer told me they are brand new, never used and original everything. Only problem is he said the earpads are practically...

hey i was wondering if anyone else owning the 750's found the left side to be "stronger"? i feel that a lot of the bass is coming from the left only. btw it's brand new

long story short, i can get the HD598's for a good price. i've always been interested in these cans and now seems like a good opportunity to seek advice. i own the grado sr225i's and that's about all excluding IEMs.  Music: hiphop, classical, dubstep, jazz, pop. Source: probs laptop with...
