Hi all, Been a while since I came to this section in headfi, as I was quite content with what I have. However, I believe I have contracted the all to familiar "upgradetitus", and this time its a severe case. I am now looking for what will probably be my end game setup (or at least a long term...

Hi all, Been quite a while since I posted! Glad to see that the community is active as usual! I have come back on the forum from a ~3 year hibernation because I would like some recommendations on a new pair of IEM or CIEM for portable usage. The last gear I purchased were my V-Moda M80 right...

Ok, so here’s my story (slightly long). I bought the HF5s this summer and have loved how they sound. However, I could not get a good seal in the right ear unless I moved it every 10 minutes or so no matter what tips I used (stock tips, Klipsch, foams). I stopped using them frequently because it...

Hello guys! Been a while since I posted here since I've been satisfied with my gear. However, as we all know, once you go head-fi, there's no turning back. I bought a pair of Etymotic HF5's during the Summer and have loved using them with J3 on the go. The isolation is much better than my other...

So, I am planning to get a bunch of stuff for my second DIY project: Interconnects and a possible recable. However, I have a bunch of questions I need answered before I go out and buy all my gear. Any help is appreciated, thank you!   Equipment 1. For soldering, I am between the Weller...

Hey guys~ I just did my first DIY recable yesterday (thanks to sunnebear^^) and I had a lot of fun with it! I was looking to do some more stuff, and thought about making some 3.5mm to 3.5mm plugs and other various connectors. For my recable, I used Mogami W2799 because I only used the cable...

Hey guys, I have a Cowon J3 and am thinking of getting a portable amp/DAC, mainly the E7. I was just wondering how you guys keep them together...doesn't that band that comes with the E7 get in the way of the screen?? I have a Ringke case if that makes any difference~ Thanks in advance~

Well, I'm assuming that there's no huge difference between the foam pads used in various headphones, so does anyone know where I can get some foam pads to use for my headphones? I'm planning to insert some foam in my HTX7s and see how they sound. I'm also assuming that they don't cost much...

Hey guys, I was just wondering, do you protect the audio jack of your headphone in any way? I'm planning to make a headphone stand, but dunno if I should get something to cover the jack when I hang my headphones. Does the jack get damaged easily, or am I just over-worrying? Thanks~

Hey guys~ So, I've been looking though every page of the DIY Headphone Stand thread and was wondering what kind of hanger would work best for my future K701. At first, I was planning to make something like this(second post tutorial) so that I could hang both my K701 and M50s, but then...

So, I was just wondering how you guys with multiple full size headphones store them around the house. Do you just leave them on a table, leave them in a box, keep them on a stand (like the K701), or use some king of hanger (I think it's called a "banana hook" or something?)? Was just curious...

I currently have a pair of Nu-Force NE-7M's, but they are 2 years old and losing quality. I really like them, but I want to try something else. I am thinking of getting a new pair of earphones, but don't know which ones to get! (I'm still pretty noob at this stuff xD) I have read many reviews...

Hey guys, Im pretty new here on the forums. I just have a couple questions on Portable headphones, because I am planning to buy a new pair this year.   1. I have looked at the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 and ATH-ANC7b, and read that the only difference is that the C7b has slightly better sound...
