So I've been doing research on in ear headphones for weeks and still haven't made up my mind.  I'm looking for headphones that:   1.  Fit very well and snug.  I will be running and working out with these headphones mostly.  Probably use them for biking to class as well.  Probably want the...

I've been searching through the forum for a while for some good suggestions on some clip on workout headphones, but have yet to find really any that fit what I really want. Earbuds never never stay in my ear while working out. I am looking for some in-ear type headphones with great sound...

First of all thanks for all the help received on this forum so far.. great place. I am looking for a desktop amp for my new dt770 pro80s (no need for portability really). I upped my price range to 100-150. I would consider myself an above average listener, I definitely appreciate high sound...

So I have recently started to enter the complicated world of audiophiles. Got my new beyer dt770s today, which is really my first somewhat expensive headphone purchase. I have a m-audio mobile pre powering my speakers along with the headphones. After figuring out my initial (fully my own...

Just got some great new headphones (beyer dt770's) and while testing them out I noticed that the volume on them are not nearly as high as I am sure it could be. I am using the 1/8 headphone plug turned all the way up (system preferences, everything) plugged into an m-audio mobile pre usb...
