I've been out of the IEM market for quite some time, and to be honest it is SO saturated with products I find it difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. I've just purchased a pair of B&W P7 wireless Bluetooth over-ears for use with my iPhone 7, my first pair of BT cans. While I'm...

I've been away for a while but I'm looking to bump up my portable rig and I'm seeking out recommendations for a closed headphone to replace my ATH-M50x. Maybe. Even though I list them in the subject, I'm already auditioning the H6 and the PM-3 and find them both to be relatively, um...

Several months ago I spent some quality time with the Senn Amperior and the over-ear Momentum. I ended up keeping the Amperior because I simply like their sound more than that of the Momentum. Much more. Compared to the physical design of the Momentum however they're clunky, clumsy, plasticky...

Opinions?

I've currently got this, the Senn Momentum, and the Sony MDR-1R in-house. Sonically I think the PSB is pretty fabulous and is beating out the other two, but I have to say that I have my concerns about construction and durability. And they're BIG. Sheesh! Purely from a design and comfort...

I haven't been lurking around Head-Fi much for the past couple for years, but as inevitably happens I find myself lured back into the headphone game and I'm itching for something new. I've alread been auditioning some new cans (HE-400, HFi-2400, Pro 900, DT-990, DT-880) to give my HF-2 a rest...

So often we hear about the NEGATIVE dealings that most of us eventually have with audio companies while pursuing this little hobby. It's inevitable, and people tend to complain a lot more readily than they offer praise. So, let me relate a positive experience I just had with a well-respected and...

I've been away from Head-Fi for quite a while, just having come back into the fold a few weeks ago. All of that time I've been very happy with my current home rig - CIAudio VDA-1 DAC + Meier-Audio Corda Headfive SS amp + Senn HD650s. Go figure. Then, like an IDIOT, I started lurking here again...

Howdy Head-fiers. I've been away for a while and find myself coming back to seek some advice. My ER-4Ps were recently lost and I need to replace them. I've spent quite a few years enjoying their sound and isolation with a variety of sources, both amped and unamped. I arrived in the Ety camp...

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bit on the anal side when it comes to cleanliness, and after perusing the FS forums here at Head-Fi tonight I have but one thing to say: CLEAN YOUR FREAKIN' GEAR!!! That's all.

Does such a beast exist? Something less than $500? I'll admit that I'm being lazy with this question - I've done abslutely ZERO research. Just thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone had any recommendations...

OK, promise me you won't laugh. We all know from experience that on-board PC audio usually sucks. It's safe to assume that you're gonna upgrade to something better if you're a Head-Fier and you use your computer as a headphone source. So here's my big smack-down surprise - I picked up a new HP...

So I bought a HP Pavilion DV6226US notebook today after much shopping, playing, and comparing specs. It was on sale at CC for $699 after rebates, and one of the things that swayed me in its direction was that it actually has an SPDIF optical output. This is NOT a common feature in PC notebook...

For anyone, like me, who's running Vista and has a Juli@, ESI has finally released the new unified EWDM driver and control panel: http://download.esi-audio.com/?p=6&g=1&l=en It's beta but it works great. Enjoy!

Welcome to 2007!! Let's hope it's a better year than 2006 was, for everyone... Special Cases (Massive Attack - 100th Window)

J. River Media Center -> FLAC -> ESI Juli@ (coax digi out) -> CIAudio VDA-1 DAC -> Meier-Audio Corda HEADFIVE -> Grado HHF-1. What a great sounding combination of components! I'll say it again - the H5 and deep woodied HHF-1s are made for each other...

In case anyone is looking, Amazon is selling the KSC75 directly (no third party shipping) for $12.64 as of the time of this post: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...lance&n=172282

Nevermind. Mods, please delete this thread. Thanks.

How sweet is it to come back from vacation to find an email from Larry waiting, informing me that my HHF-1's are finished and have shipped? This sweet: Deep Zebra woody, 1.5 meter recable with 1/4" termination, 325i headband assembly with (according to Larry) RS-1 leather. They should...

I'm considering an aftermarket cable for my HD650s and am eyeing up the Senn V2 that Headphile is currently offering. The price is great and the quality of Larry's work is well known here, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info on this cable. How does it compare to the big boys? My...

OK, there are almost 4,000 posts and over 44,000 views hanging from thread #4. Time to shake out the dirt with a new one. ALL HAIL #5!!!!

...the question is, which will it be?

I've searched on this topic and can't seem to find anything really definitive about which cheap headphone has a headband that works well with the KSC75. I'm looking for something that preferably snaps right onto the Koss drivers AND is fairly well made. What have you guys done that doesn't...

I miss the warm glow of tubes in my house and am considering a tube amp to pair up with my RS-1s. I'd like to keep the budget at $500 or less. Yeah, yeah, I know that isn't gonna get me much but I'm looking for recommendations anyway. My HeadAmp AE-1/RS-1 sound fantastic together, however I...

I haven't seen this little item mentioned at Head-Fi: http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf...ldaPhone_Black It looks to be a great budget headphone storage solution if you're wanting something other than a free-standing hanger. Comes in black, blue, red, yellow, and "any custom color"...
