One thing you don't hear a lot about the LP/LP2 is the absolute crap isolation. What I mean by that, is when you are playing music in any kind of environment that isn't noisy, everyone around you will hear what you are listening to at almost the same volume level. This annoyed me to no end and I...

You can get yourself a Sansa Fuze for about 50 dollars or so. Leaves plenty of extra cash to get some new cans.  If you can do without the bigger screen and scroll wheel, then just get the clipzip or clip and have even more leftover cash.

Yea, those beyers will sound better than the M50. More bass, IF amped properly. I too thought the M50 was lacking in bass. I tried running the beyers (yes, 80 ohm) right out of my iPod and it just didn't work out that well. Does guitar center offer any other bassy headphones?

Pure bass and you're rating both those above XB??? Pure bass, XB wins. Under that is the Pro700 mk2, its an absolute beast without the sound quality loss of the XB. The beyers didn't satisfy me at all in terms if bass quantity, and anyone who's tried all those will tell you both the xb and...

Quote: That's good then, thanks for the info. Excited for my new headphones and player to arrive.  

If you want a lot of bass, M50 isn't the way to go. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk

Quote: Quote: Alright, thanks guys. I just ordered the original Fuze because I like the use of a scroll wheel and I've heard the Fuze+ touch controls are a nightmare. In terms of using Rockbox on a device, is it really confusing? Is it hard to learn how to EQ on it, and are there...

Hey guys, just looking around for a cheap audio player with good SQ and a nice EQ for bass. I'm ordering some Ultrasone 580s. I've been looking at the clip+/fuze/clipzip but I've heard without rockbox, the eq isn't so great. Rockbox looks pretty confusing and dull, and I've never learned how to...

Quote: I'm looking for something with a touchscreen if I can, but I'll keep that in mind, thanks.   Quote: Wow, I never thought about doing that. That's genius. Thanks for the tip, as Bestbuy doesn't have great selection and is pretty overpriced.  

Hey guys, haven't been on here in a while and I sold most my audio gear to get a new phone so now I am in need of a portable source option. I got a bunch of gift cards to best buy so I'm hoping I can use some of those. Budget is less than 200 dollars for the possible sound quality portable...

^ You might want to wait for some native Ice Cream Sandwich phones to pair with such high quality headphones. The new ICS phones are said to have an output port that can be used with a portable amp to bypass the internal one.

Quote:  No need to rockbox. Install the FREE Voodoo control app. You do not need the paid version because you already have a voodoo kernal. Don't mess with too much in the voodoo control app though. Maybe increase headphone output level if you're using hard to drive headphones. But from...

Samsung really dropped the ball on this one. All the rest of the Galaxy phones have the amazing Wolfson but the SII does not. They made a superior device spec wise with the SII but they forgot the sound quality . Hopefully they pick back up with the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy Prime. Actually, I...

Quote: Just get a data toggle widget and turn off data when you don't need to connect to internet. It saves MANY hours of battery life. Data is one of the biggest battery killers, especially if you are ever in an area of low reception, your phone will just continue to search for a...

Quote: Or instead of the APN trick just get a data toggle app/widget from the market, a lot to choose from. Custom ROMs also help a ton with managing battery. Although 2 batteries and a charger might sound great, these cheap foreign batteries are rubbish 99% of the time. They are not the...

Rooting isn't hard at all these days... especially with Samsung Galaxy S phones. I'm pretty sure the i9000 has a one click root. Literaly... a one click root, as in you plug your phone into your computer and click the "root" button on the program (I believe it's called SuperOneClick) and it does...

Quote: Are you using a custom ROM on your Infuse for Voodoo? I am using one with a voodoo kernal and I'm just wondering if I really need that Voodoo control app or not? Are there any settings I'd need in there or should I just focus on EQing and such with PowerAmp?    

HD 448 definitely not enough bass for your needs. M50 might be lacking in the bass department too... it sure was for me. HFI-580 is a safer choice. More bass than the M50 and still some fantastic clarity.

Zooooo

The problem is I do buy phones off contract . Two years is way too long with the advancements being made (Dual-core processors, LTE, etc). I can barely even get by with a phone for one year. I just recently bought a HTC Desire Z from Canada for around $500, the reason it costed so much is...

Someone already posted the same exact thing, please search before posting.   Anyways, I think it is a smart marketing move by HTC. Now they are going to attract even more attention, mostly to the younger crowd. It's not like they went and said, "Let's find an audio brand to integrate with...

HTC makes fantastic phones, I've never bought from anyone else. I am indifferent to this move though... All it's going to do is jack up the price of already expensive phones. (I buy most my phones off contract so it makes quite a difference with $300-$700 in play)

Quote: I meant like iPod, Clip, etc. But it seems to me like you're using a computer/laptop? The Fiio E5 really doesn't do much by the way. The M50 has a generally flat sound, that's why it is so highly regarded. It is an excellent all-rounder. The problem is, flat headphones usually...

Quote: Amazon should be just fine. Maybe you are expecting too much... Many times when people buy headphones, they build up what they think it will sound like before even listening to them. You are using the EQ on what? What amp did you try? What more were you expecting? You can return...

Quote: Why are you ignoring the HFI 580's? Don't be fooled by all the hype of the M50's. They are good but not the end all be all.
