I'm looking for a pair of smallish phones, I'm not partial to ear pad or circumaural for this, but I'd like them to have a fairly neutral signature.  The range I'm looking at is somewhere around 100-250 USD.     The Fidelio L1 and the B&W P5 are both suitable in form factor but I don't know...

I have a set of Shure SE 210's that I'd like to try and add an iDevice mic and button to, and perhaps volume controls as well if I can figure out how.  If you're familiar with this generation of Shure IEMs, you know that they have a jack at the Y and then you connect that to an extension that...

Ordinary IEMs don't seem very comfortable to me.  I believe it has something to do with how my ear canals appear to be about twice as tall as they are wide.  I know that because I got a set of custom ear plugs recently.  Because of this, small foam tips aren't secure and medium foam tips form a...

So asking this question in the HE-400 threads wasn't working (I'm trying to figure out if Denon pads will fit the HE sereise), but what's the diameter on the pads?   Specifically, I want to know what the diameter on the plastic bit they need to wrap around.   The stock pads aren't deep...

Ideally, this would mean we might have an android phone able to match the unamped audio quality of an iPhone, which would interest me because I'm looking to switch away from iOS, mainly because every year they release a new version that makes the old handsets slow as molasses.     However...

The pads on my ATH A900's are starting to fall apart, and rather than getting another set of A900 pads, I was thinking of getting a pair of leather pads meant for their woodies. Which ones will fit, and what will they do to the sound?  I think that pads that hold the drivers closer to my ears...

I've heard a bunch of descriptions of how tube amps differ from solid state amps, but what do they do to the ultimately frequency response?  I'm not sure if it's for me or not.  

Right now I have an X-Fi Titanium (Not the HD version), and I'm trying to decide how to go about getting better sound.  It's my understanding that this card's weakness is primarily it's lower quality op amps, correct?     I could modify it, but I'm under the impression that using the front...
