http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/awareness-for-etymotic/id431094324?mt=8   Not sure if this has been seen before, but it looks like etymotic has created an app that will use the microphone and deliver its signal to your earphones, like shure's pth. I could see this being useful for those with...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CGYfES3nCY&feature=player_embedded#at=89   Saw that on a humour website and thought it would be pretty cool if it worked properly without giving you massive amounts of noise. Since good microphones are generally expensive, I doubt it would actually work but a...

I currently have a pair of tf10s that I use for daily stuff. The problem with them is that they stick out so far that if they or the ear that the memory wire is on wobbles, the noise carries on and gets really annoying. The sawn-off comply tips reduce this quite a bit, while providing extra...

I think a lot of people have had the experience where a friend says 'dude, these have no bass' after showing them a headphone. Heaps of popular songs that are known as bassy, such as shots and like a g6 don't really have kick or slam. Most songs that are played at clubs tend to just have really...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCg30mZXNKQ&feature=feedu   The whole thing is awesome, but I LOVE Deck the Halls in minor, as well as the 59 second mark where Carol of the Bells just becomes epic.

As title, I forgot what show it was and who the guy was.

I've found that I like the sparkly sound with punchy bass in IEMs. I've tried relaxed ones with rolled off highs and elevated bass, but they just didn't capture me.   I'm looking for something that has good isolation, sounds fast, sparkly, punchy with not unnatural mids. Price range is about...

I think we all have a soft melt spot for awesome female voices. Post the ones that make you feel warm and fuzzy or just the ones you admire a lot. Taylor Swift in her new song 'speak now' Tarja Turunnen from nightwish. She's such a good singer, almost bottlenecked by nightwish but she...

When testing new headphones, do you pick good sounding songs to test certain characteristics? I often find that headphones that wow! me with certain songs are really the ones I end up liking, but on the other hand, I could give a headphone a track that doesn't really sound good and is really...

I've heard a lot of people saying a properly amped headphone X is [superlative description of good]. I'm talking about headphones like the HD650, DT880 and K701. I have an SPL Auditor coming in soon and I think it will be plenty for the above phones, but I'm scared it will be just another...

I'm looking for comfort and isolation, so something that's soft and thick should do the job.   I'm looking at the UE tips and sony hyrbids, however the hybrids cost a lot over here. I have a set of fake hybrids and find them to be quite average for silicone tips; the inner tube stretches...

  Just bringing this to people's attention. I only noticed because an old review said 'the 120 ohm impedance isn't really uniform'.   Impressions with and without an amp go in the comments section beloowwww. VVV   =3   (also does the stx actually have a decent amp? I know it has an...

I love the sound of the TF10, however their cost in relation to their build quality and cabling ruined them for me as I couldn't keep something like that. I'm looking for a fun U shaped sound, good soundstage and at least decent in everything else (comfort, build, details, maybe a little...

I've been searching for a long time and still haven't found it, my perfect iem. Is there something with smooth mids, non fatiguing highs, preferably neutral or slightly heavy bass, and most importantly, great soundstage and isolation. If it's comfortable then isolation isn't as important. Over...

There seems to be no Grado dealers in Australia, but I know of at least one Alessandro dealer. Their headphones look really similar, so what's the deal with them? From what I'm seeing, SR80i = MS1(i?), SR325i = MS2(i?) and RS1i = MSpro? Also what's the difference between the i and non i...

I've never liked Grados, they just never offered anything that another headphone couldn't do better for me. I've borrowed a pair of MS1s from my friend, and found them exactly as I remember, strong, upfront, punchy, and most memorably, uncomfortable. I gave them a thorough listen because I...

Owning quite a few iems myself, I've had a bit of experience with all kinds of cables. But never UE before. I've tried the TF10 for a short time and found that ok, but now that I've bought a second hand SF5pro for recabling, I have the cable sitting right in front of me.   There are good...

I know a few people will go 'why can't you use your fullsizes at home?', but it's really annoying moving my headphones around on my desk and computer, so I wanted to buy a cheap, comfortable headphone for listening in the living room. I'll be using it from my Clip+ in a dark room on a couch...

I might be making some interconnects and iem cables for portable use, and it seems like right angled is the way to go.   What exactly makes right angled better than straight?

Compared to other forums, this one's ignore list still shows the posts of people you ignore. I realise that it may be hardcoded into this forum structure, but is there any higher option available for blocking people?

I can't afford to keep my CK100 if I am to get headphones, so I have to downgrade them. I'm looking for something that has an over ear fit, is well built, decently comfortable and has decent isolation. I'm happy with the sound of the Vsonic R02proII and my priorities are isolation and build...

Has anyone else tried making an iPod LOD with the data transfer cable? I think it should work as the USB has 4 pins, 2 for data and 2 for power. I just want to ask some more experienced people before I cut up my cable.

So I installed the STX vista drivers for my x64 windows 7, and it all goes well until after I restart. When everything has loaded, I open foobar excitedly hoping to hear my new sound card. Nothing will open other than x64 programs like internet explorer. MSN has worked a few times, skype has...

I'm looking for a headphone to use with my M³ and I found I could get the HD600 and DT880 for similar (but still massively high) prices. Hopefully 330-350 AUD for the HD600 and 350-370 AUD for the DT880/600 I currently use the AD700 for both music, skype and gaming (not that much fps) and I...
