I'm in the market for a new set of IEM's, and I'd really like some recommendations to kick off my search. I'm looking for the absolute most balanced/neutral sound signature I can get for around $150. I'm replacing my good old pair of ECCI PR401's which tragically kicked the bucket a few weeks...

I've looked into the Asus Xonar Essence STX card, but the whole thing seems a bit overkill. If it's possible to get similar-quality surround sound for less, I'd definitely like to hear my options. Also, I'd be buying the card strictly for use with stereo headphones and not speakers (not sure if...

I'm replacing my ECCI PR401's since they're starting to fail, and I'm looking for good replacement IEM's. I listen to a lot of electronic music and am a bit of a bass head, so I'm looking for an overall balanced sound signature with a powerful yet accurate low end, similar to the PR401's (it...

After almost two years of having my ECCI PR401 earphones, the wiring within the cable somehow became detached and left me with no audio. A friend was able to patch up the problem, so although I can use them now I know their days are limited. So, now begins the search for a new set of IEM's... My...

I'm starting to get into producing music, but I lack any appropriate audio hardware for the job (and as a result my final mixes sound really cruddy...). I'm looking for headphones mostly because my current computer setup is less than ideal to work with monitors of any sort. So does anyone...

Yes, the title explains pretty much everything. I tried the Sennheiser HD515's, and though the highs and mids are great the bass is lacking (when I listen to stuff like Bassnectar, Skrillex, deadmau5, or other stuff like that, bass is very important to me). I use the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000's...

I *was* looking into IEM's, but after experiencing ear fatigue I don't feel too comfortable with them anymore. I'm just looking for a decent pair of over-ears (or cans, whatever you want to call them) for under $60 that have a sound quality similar to the IEM's I was going to buy, the ECCI...

The title pretty much says it all. I just bought Skullcandy FMJ's thinking they would sound amazing, but really, they don't. Electronic music sounds slightly better due to the bass increase, but music such as rock and metalcore sound incredibly overbearing bass-wise and bland due to the...
