I've had some KZ ATR for the past couple years that I've really enjoyed, but looking to upgrade, perhaps to something with multiple drivers, but really don't want to spend more than $30-$40 since it'll be crammed into pockets and backpacks. Currently looking at the ZS10 Pro, ZSTX, and ZSN Pro...

Does anyone have any thoughts on the KZ ATR vs the KZ ZS3? I'm specifically looking for one that is less sibilant, perhaps has a veiled high end as I can't do piercing highs at all. Also a little wary of detachable cables. Loved my Tennmak Pro until it started to scratch or drop out with every...

I really love the sound of my Tennmak Pros, they're over-ear, they have a great seal especially with the foam tips and I love that recessed high end since just about every other pair of in-ears that I've tried has piercing sibilance or is way too crispy. But mine have developed this nasty...

I was lookin for some Piston 3's but these seem like a much better deal, thanks for the recommendation!

We had one thread on one of these (14456) several months ago: http://www.head-fi.org/t/801752/monoprice-dual-driver-earbuds-14456   Anyone else have experience with either of them?    http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=14456      http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15274     The...

So awesome that it supports up to 256GB MicroSD. FINALLY an affordable solid state player with much greater capacity than the 160GB iPod.   Think there will be any black friday/cyber monday markdowns on this or is it gonna stay firmly at $100?

Seems like the Piston 3's are practically free, here's a pair for less than TWO DOLLARS shipped...

I've been looking at cheap headphone amps and am considering the Fiio A3 but it doesn't sound like that could bypass a computer's onboard soundcard; it would need to receive the source from an eighth inch cable via a laptop's headphone out.   Is it worth the extra money to get something like...

those Superlux HD660 sound like they definitely need an amp, dang...   I was considering the Superlux HD662F but probably just gonna go with the good ol Shure SRH440 with the 840 earpad mod.

  whoa, these look super cool! $35 shipped and they sound like Grados, chuck a $5 velour replacement pad from Ebay on there and for $40 I have something that sounds like Grado but has DT770/250 comfort and isolation? Sounds too good to be true...

I've seen plenty of posts saying the 80 is fine with iPods/laptops... would you say an unamplified 32 would sound much better than an unamplified 80? (while the 80 would obviously sound better if both were amplified)?

Looking for some large comfy sealed over-ear headphones for mostly metal/heavy rock listening. They won't be paired with an amp. I usually buy used so anything that runs $80-$100 used on eBay is ideal.   Currently considering the Beyerdynamic DT770 / 80ohm because it looks huge and comfortable...

I've been a headphone guy for years and now I'm thinking of getting a tiny desk stereo as well. Volume is the lowest priority, as I have housemates. I'd just like something that can play CDs, has a tuner, small and simple and sounds good. Is the $150 region even possible for such a thing? What...

I actually didn't do a burn in, which I usually do, because I read a review here saying they didn't sound any different after 50 hours of burn in so I just skipped it. I've probably listened for 50-70 hours so far but usually not very loudly so I'll give them the old blasting and see what that...

I got a pair of these recently and like them a lot, except that they're very forward with the highest of the treble causing some pretty noticeable sibilance on files that have never had that problem on any other headphone I've used (SR60s, PX100s and MH1c to name a few). I'm using the Treble...

So the Lendmeurears one is superior yeah? I'll go with that one then, thanks!

So I'm looking to buy the VSonic GR02 Bass that seems to have much acclaim here, and there are two sources which seem to be selling slightly different products   Amazon is selling the VSONIC GR02 Bass Silver Cord with images of a box identifying it as the R02proII.   Lendmeurears is selling...

It's definitely the cable and not the jack. Although the jack has become a little loose too due to the typical heavy cable sag, but that's a separate issue that isn't even really an issue.   I guess I should also mention that I have no technical experience or supplies and can't do any work...

It's true, my precious Grado SR60s (not SR60i) are having the most frustrating problem. I'm almost positive it's some loose wiring at the Y-cable intersection for the right channel which is causing it to be crackly and occasionally just not there at all. I have the original box with the warranty...

Just got my MH1C's in from eBay user starhall. Holy ****... these things really are amazing. The seal is very tight with the stock size. I have yet to walk with them but they do seem a bit microphonic due to that tight seal. Also since it is so tight, adjusting your jaw will change how loud they...

Also, anyone know a reliable vendor for the Sony MH1C when the Amazon page is saying that it's unavailable? There are a few on eBay from Hong Kong and China who seem to be high rated sellers...   edit: just ordered some MH1C's from eBay seller Starhall. A couple hours of browsing head-fi was...

What's the popular choice for an IEM that is low in microphonics and has a very good seal for ~$60?   I'm looking for a replacement for my Sennheiser CX300B and am using some Skullcandy's I found discarded at work in the interim and their microphonics are driving me nuts. I recall it not...

Quote: What I'm talking about is cans sound worse than properly built Canalphones or IEMs. Reasons why: 1) Being on the outside of the ear, they never quite "sit" in the same place. Subtle movements of the tweeter cone relative to your ear have a dramatic effect on frequency response...
