Here's an interesting article regarding the Beat's by Dre but also comments on the audiophile prespective in general. It's an interesting read. Thoughts?   http://pitchfork.com/features/resonant-frequency/8757-permission-to-avalanche-four-fragments-on-bass/

Was I expecting to much? Perhaps, often is the case when reading reviews and impressions on here. Anyways, my question is simple: Is it worthwhile returning the Turbines in favor of another pair of IEM's or is this just about the extent of the sound quality at this price point (< $100)?

So I've decided that I want to buy CD's and convert them to FLAC myself. This is a bit ambitious and expensive, who knows if I'll actually do it.   Anyways, I absolutely love the ZuneHD interface and would hate to part with it. Doesn't play FLAC files though so I kinda have to.   Any...

So I ran into this video and was surprised to see the Beyerdynamic DT 770's.   As far as the video itself goes... well, just take a look.  

I've had the M50's and 440's for a while now. It was not until recently that I realized I could fit the 440 pads on the M50's. I think you'll find the results favorable. In my opinion the stock M50 pads are very cramped (perhaps I just have big ears...) and the 440 pads offered what felt like a...

I'm wondering what is the best combination of volume settings on your DAP and AMP, or rather, what your personal preference is. I've just recieved my iBasso T3 and have been trying out different settings. For example, I set my DAP volume to about 75% and adjusted the Amp setting as I...

I am completely clueless when it come's to amps. I own a Zune HD and use the Audio-Technica ATH-M50's. Yes these phones are easy to drive, but I'm sure they will benefit from a small, inexpensive amp. I was lurking around and am interested in the FiiO E5's. (Probably cause I'm ignorant...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has come across this problem, but I found that (even with circamural headphones) the frame of my glasses that rests behind my ear would be pushed and actually embedded in my head by my headphones. After about an hour (more or less) this would become very painful...

I've tried searching but can't seem to find the information I'm looking for in detail. Basically, is it that much better? I've read SQ is better along with more capacity? What other benefits come from RockBoxing an iPod? Explain any relevant information in detail please.

My Audio-Technica ATH-M50's just came in and I'm LOVIN' them!

I have recently been burning in my headphones over night. They burn for 2 hours and rest for 30 minutes throughout the entire night and (sometimes) throughout the day. In other words, for every 120 minutes they rest 30 minutes, and this continues throughout the night. My question is, what...

So I started off a few week's ago with a pair of Grado SR80i's. I then decided to go with the Shure SRH440's. And now, once again, I impulsively bought the Audio-Technica ATH-M50's. This is getting expensive...

Hello all. First and foremost, yes I'm a noob at all this. I am in the market for a new pair of "cans." After (what felt like) extensive research I invested in the Grado SR80i's and outfitted them with bowl cup pads. The sound quality is amazing. Only problem is I didn't realize how...
