Hello. I'm looking for something I can toss in my backpack when I travel. Needing power from the mains or a battery is perfectly fine and I have no preference on that.   Requirements: Small, can fit in backpack (disqualifies Audio-GD products) Single unit solution (no Magni/Modi) Powerful...

Alright. So I joined the massdrop for the HD 600. To me my upgrade from the M50 was always going to be either the HE400 or the HD600 (removable cable and generally strong reviews). The Senns were cheaper with the drop, so I figured why not. I do enjoy a warm sig like on my SE215s, but I like the...

  Got these for $80 on the Amazon Gold Box offer a few days ago. I have no clue why I bought them, I guess it's because I remembered one good M-80 review on Head-Fi a while back. Packaging: They come in a very nice box and include a great set of accesseories. Included is a nice looking...

http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm?utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_source=3668349&utm_campaign=CJ I got the link from woot. It's a 16GB refurb.   Who's gonna get this?

  From Engadget:     Quote:   Quite impressive.

I've been enjoying the Maximo iM-590 for about two months or so. The audio quality was fantastic (I have noob ears). I babied the IEM and I'd always put it in the case. At the bottom of the cable it seems to have a problem. At first it lost some of the range now I've completely lost the right...

I know that this product is old, but I am trying to get a feel for writing these kinds of articles, so here I go.   This is probably the best DAP I have ever owned. After doing some research on Head-Fi it seamed like the way to go, was Cowon (if you wanted video playback at least). I was...

Well this is the first time writing up any impressions, so please give me some constructive criticism.    The iM-590 is the best headphone (IEM to be exact) that I have ever heard. Granted, that coming from a noob like me it isn't saying much, but they are truly phenomenal. They are...

I'd hate to post a new thread, but the problem is all the search results were confusing and opposing. I just bought a Cowon S9 and iM-590 and I decided to turn my attention onto my laptop. The on-board sound is truly pathetic, with poor sq and low power output. What I'm looking for is a good...

I'm planning on buying a Cowon S9 today and I read that it is a little warm, so I that means I should get something cold. I was going to get the Thinksound Rain, but I hear they are also warm. Overall I just want a good pair of IEMs, bellow $100.   I've seen the following: Altec Lansing...

From what I understand is that the differences are the size, microSD slot, and UI. I'd rather get the S9, since it is a full $100 cheaper for the 32 GB model. Did the UI get any specific improvements in V2.53? How can Cowon charge $100 for an SD card slot?! It is amazing!

I know that this has been asked/explained many times, but I still can't draw the picture in my mind.   For example: The Cowon J3 outputs 29 mW of pair to each speaker to a pair of 16 ohm headphones.   The RE0 have an impedance of 64 ohms and a sensitivity of 100dB/1mW.   In theory...

I am looking for a DAP to pair with the RE0s. I really do not want to use an amp, so I'd prefer if it was the DAP only. All the Cowon players max-out at 16 ohms and I read that the Sansas are all 16 Ohms (it wasn't listed on the site). The highest impedance I could find was the line of iPods and...

I have/had an iPod Shuffle 1g. Now I don't really use it anymore, but it was my first mp3 player and I'm really sad cause it won't charge/connect to my computer anymore. The usb interface is dead. I got it about 5-6 years ago and I don't expect it to have immortality, but I wonder how Apple...

This thing says it is for IEMs, would it work well with a pair of ATH-M50s, SRH440s, SRH840s, HD555, etc. I can get it used for $180, any better options in that price range?

I placed a bid on a PA2V2. I'm having second thoughts though, should I forget the PA2V2 and get another amp (possibly a CMoy)? I'm gonna be using this amp from an iPod LOD and they will be powering a pair of ATH-M50s.

I've been looking for my first foray into the word of higher quality audio. After much agony I have decided on Shure SRH440 headphones to listen to orchestra, classical, hip-hop, and rap.   My setup will look something like this: iPod Classic 160GB--->LOD--->amp--->SRH440   Before...

I've been hunting down a decent pair of headphones for about 100 bucks. I thought it would be an easy enough task, boy was I wrong. EVERYBODY is contradicting everyone. I have no idea what to do. I'm gonna tell my case now.   My set up would look like this:  ...

I'm hunting down a amp/headphone combo. What would be the best around 100 dollar portable amp? I've seen the nuforce icon mobile, ibasso t3, fiio e7, and the total airhead. It doesn't have to be one of those. It doesn't even have to be a DAC. I just wan't the best sounding one. I mainly listen...

I'm in the market for a pair of headphones. I mainly listen to orchestra and some rap occasionally. My priority is to find a pair which really bring out the strings in orchestra. I've seen the ATH-A700, AD700, Sennheiser HD448, Shure SRH440, ATH-M50, Grado 80i, and the Denon AH-D1001S. i'm...

  Well this is my first post here . I've been reading alot on this site and learnt quite a bit, but I also got kinda confused. I've decided I wanna finally have a good quality music experience.   For the player I'm thinking of the Cowon iAudio9 or the J3. The benefit of the J3 is the...
