    GR07 vs. EX600 for a HJE900 lover?

    Hey guys! So I haven't been too active on the boards lately, but my wallets been feeling too heavy(yeah right) and needs some relief.   Basically, I've been pretty set on getting the GR07 once I could afford them, but then I read about the EX600, which has made me reconsider. They're...

    ***Just found a huge collection of vintage tubes, some dated 1944! Pics***

    Hey guys, so as some of you may have read in my K701 amp thread, I work as a work-study undergrad at the physics department of my college, and found a number of tubes while perusing around work the other day. That got me interested in tube amps, and led to some research for a decent cheap amp...

    $100-150 or less amplification for K701/K702? Cheap tube amp if I have my own tubes? Perhaps even DIY?

    Hey guys. Yes, I know that a gazillion people have asked about amplifying the K70X before, but I thought that with the apparent recent influx of new amps and my own unique situation it was worth starting a new thread for. I apologize in advance for sounding so noobish. So, I'm looking for...

    Moving into "Mid-Fi" or higher. HPs around $300 + plus cheap amp? K701 + something perhaps?

    Hey guys, so I've been thinking a bit, and I think it's time I start moving up the audiophile chain of monetary doom. I've stuck to budget-fi long enough. As much as I love it, I think it's time I begin to really notice upgraded sound.   I am setting a pretty strict final price limit of $300...

    Samson SR850 (Superlux OEM) Review: A $50 Budget Champion.

    Hey guys. I posted a thread on the Samson SR850s a few days ago, so now I'm back with updated impressions for a full review. I will copy and paste some of the stuff I said in the old thread. On to the review, TL; DR at the end: Simply put, these headphones are a tremendous deal. Theyd are...

    Samson SR850 making me sell my Denon D1100s. New Budget Master? (Review Pending)

    I don't have much time to write at the moment, but I'd like to give a shoutout to the Samson SR850. Some of you may have heard of a headphone called the Superlux 668B or 681. The former especially has recieved some great reviews here on head-fi and some other sites, with quite a few people...

    Etymotic MC5 Early Impressions and Comparisons with Panasonic HJE900

    Hey guys, so I've had the Etymotic MC5 for almost 3 days now, and thought I should post some formal first impressions. First though, a few disclaimers: I've been on head-fi for almost a year now, but am still very much a noob in terms of experience. I have no amps, although the lab computer I do...

    Monster Gel and Foam SuperTips kinda-sorta Review

      Hey guys. So as you may know, Monster recently held a program where a hundred lucky people could win a free sampler pack for their relatively new gel and foam "SuperTips". I was not one of those lucky people. Cursing my wretched fortune, I decided to go ahead and buy the Sampler Pack...

    How to A/B tips efficiently?

    It's something I've been wondering. For those of you who have more IEMs and tips, how do you A/B them as efficiently as possible? I'm asking specifically because I just got my Meelec tips for my HJE900s today, which are wonderful, but I've spent too long A/Bing between the medium single flange...

    Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review

    Sooo, seeing as they're getting more popular by the day, I thought these awesome little phones deserved their own appreciation thread by now. I'll update this with a review, possibly tomorrow, which I'm somewhat weary about as these are my first "real" IEM purchase, but man, am I satisfied...

    For those of you with Uber-Win cans...

    For those of you that have top-end cans, like the HD800 and T1, how do you compensate for the quality of your source? Meaning, I've heard people describe cans as being warm or muddy or harsh or cheesy(ok not really that one), but I guess I just wonder at one point do you start to consider it...

    Monster Jamz

    I feel bad for starting a new thread on the sponsor forum just for this, but is it possible anyone from headroom could give a bit more detailed impressions of the Monster Jamz? Or lil' jamz for that matter, though I expect those won't sound as good. There are really no impressions I could find...

    Just when i thought my search might have been over.... HJE900.

    Impressions? I'm curious as to how these compare to some of my other contenders. Right now, these are looking mighty attractive. I've heard bad things about shipping stuff to my school, and I don't want to deal with having the headphones shipped home and then having to pick them up, so anything...

    Reconsidering options, might be going to the 150-200 range

    Geez I can't remember any site where I've started more threads XD. So it seems that after all my searching and whatnot, I think I might end up going something more mid-fi. I thought to myself, why do I really want IEMs? I enjoy my RX700s wherever I'm in my dorm(rarely), and I certainly love...

    A Noob's Review of the Sennheiser PX200-II

    Hey guys! So I had written a PX200-II pre-review of sorts on the full size forum, but I decided that should probably post it here, with updated impressions now that they're past the 150 hour mark. It's basically a big edit of my original review. These minicans deserve more recognition imo...

    Slacker vs Pandora SQ?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew which service uses better audio compression on the computer? I've heard different accounts, and I know that I can pay for pandora to get 192kbps files, but I was wondering if anyone knew what type of compression they use? It seems to me that slacker...

    Here I go again: Thinksound Thunder, Rain, and Maximo iM590

    So I'm approaching the time to buy my first hifi IEM purchase finally, and I've totally shifted gears from the RE0s and Klipsch S4 being my top choices to these 3 contenders that are not only cheaper, but also less polarizing in sound quality, apparently. I listen to pretty much everything, so I...

    RE0 vs. S4: Soundstage, Bass, Comfort, Gymability, and "Realism"?

    Hey guys, I've done tons of searching, and as I look to try IEMs now, these two seem to be my best bets with a max of 100. Any other suggestions are welcome of course, but I'm pretty set on one of these. At identical price points, it's hard to choose. The title pretty much says it all. I'll...

    Wow-factor foldable cans as a birthday present for a casual listener?

    Hey guys, so I'm looking to buy some fashionable, very portable headphones for a friend's birthday. Her bday isn't anytime soon, but I know what I want to get her headphones, especially after having her hear and come off very impressed with my PX200-IIs. I know, you may be asking yourself, why...

    Sennheiser PX200-II Review (vs RX700)

    Hey guys, thought I'd share my thoughts on the Senn PX200-II that I bought a coupe of days ago, compare them to the RX700s I love, and i suppose I'll throw in a bit of the ATH-FC700A. They're not fully burned in yet, I'd say they're approaching 40 or 50 hours now, but they don't sound like...

    OK OK, my LAST impressions request thread. PX200-II vs Creative Aurvana Lives?

    Soooo I just found out that the PX200-IIs can be had for 57 bucks, 2 bucks more than the Aurvana Lives that were my top contender. I've come to realize I'm just not willing to sacrifice sound quality for portability, and pretty much anything I can get will be more portable than my RX700s. I'm...

    Best portables around $50, possibly compared to fullsize?

    Hey guys! So I know I posted a thread not too long ago about the Pk3s, but I feel like I'm finally narrowing down my choices. At the moment I'm 99% decided with the Creative Aurvana Lives(almost identical to the D1001s) as my full size can option, but I'm wondering whether I could possibly get...

    AKG K81 vs Denon D1001/Creative Aurvana Live

    I know I already have a thread up, but I thought since this is a direct comparison... I'm replacing my damaged RX700s and I'm considering these headphones as they are more portalble and might offer an upgrade in SQ How do these two(or 3) cans compare? The Denons and Creatives are clones, and...

    Replacements for damaged RX700s =[ Any impressions on the Beyer DT235? Perhaps compared to the ES7 and D1001.

    I could find virtually nothing on them here. I've heard they're very similar to the DT231(and I would guess by the model numbers lol), but just wondering if anyone has any impressions? I listen to basically every kind of genre, and appreciate speed. My RX700s seem to have been damaged, and...
