So I've been considering getting a pair of these, but I can't find anywhere good to buy them in Canada.  Anywhere I look it seems it would end up costing at least $50 more than I'd like to spend...has anyone found a good place to get them here, or is anyone in Canada willing to sell me a pair?

I was just browsing around custom-iem.com and noticed these: http://www.custom-iem.com/wan-xuan-i9-pro-single-14mm-dynamic-driver-p-661.html   Has anyone ever heard of them?  I was just wondering earlier whether anyone made custom dynamics...these ones say they have a 14mm dynamic driver...

So I've been meaning to do a recable on a pair of headphones for awhile now (broken/crappy cable, not for "upgrade", just to fix it), and I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever used an ethernet cable to recable headphones before?  I know that they are rather stiff and not so great for moving...

So I was just outside earlier and in the sunlight I saw my GR07's cable, before the Y split, had a slight green tinge.  Sure enough, when I looked closer, I saw some green streaks twisting up along the cable.  This is sort of interesting, I've never heard of anyone else having this problem...

Wow, it's looking pretty epic already!  They even pulled together a whole orchestra with a choir to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Zelda.  Looks like they're gonna announce Nintendo's new console, and they've so far shown a trailer that has a new mario kart game, mario game, star fox and...

So I just visited a local headphone store here in China, looking to try out the Grados they had there (SR60)...I honestly didn't like them very much though.  Just not my sort of sound signature. However, I tried out a pair of AH-D7000s they had there, and they were pretty amazing...

I've noticed that pretty much every connector for pretty much any audio equipment is gold plated.  However, especially with standard TRS headphone plugs, I've found that the gold tends to wear off in a matter of months, leaving only a very, very faint gold tinge left. It makes me wonder if it...

...and they actually weren't bad at all.  In fact, I was surprised at how (relatively) nice and punchy the bass was.  Definitely not as bass light as I remember them to be.  Of course they were still a bit muddy and harsh, perhaps somewhat boomy relative to nicer IEMs (never tried high-end...

Edit: Since people are always asking where to buy these, I'll lay it out right here so hopefully people don't ask as much.  Lendmeurears has always been a good place for people to buy them from, and nobody has had any problems with them.  (Apparently they don't send out a shipping notification...

I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for this.   I like lasers.  Who else here likes lasers?  Blue ones are cool.  So are green.  I like red ones too.  Preferably ones that burn things.

I just noticed that the right-hand cable on my new GR07s are a few millimetres longer than the left cable.  And that the right ear guide is made out of a different material than the left one (softer, more rubbery as opposed to harder, more plasticky.)  Anyone else notice this with theirs?  Not...

So, I got my GR07 the other day, and have been experimenting around with the included tips ever since.  I tried the foam ones out, and attempted to wedge them into my ears as far as they would go, in order to get the best possible seal.  I left them there for about half an hour, and when I...

So I've been ripping a whole bunch of CDs to iTunes with the built-in AAC compression, but my laptop is quickly filling up with just that.  Since iTunes doesn't let me rip CDs to an external hard drive or any alternate location, I need new software to rip CDs with, preferably one that supports...

Just a quick social experiment.   So I've noticed that pretty much any thread with "beats" in the title immediately gets billions of views and over time the views stack up pretty heavily.  So I just wanna see what happens if I create a thread with nothing but the title having any relevance...

So I got a pair of HD595s a few months back, and I've since noticed an oddity - there appears to be no forward soundstage.  That is, the music never appears to come from directly in front of me, but rather, it appears to come from pretty much directly above my head, maybe on a bit of an angle -...

First of all, this is my first post, and I'd like to say hi.  And yes, I already feel sorry for my wallet, as I've been lurking around here for awhile now. :P   But back to my question, I bought a pair of PL-50s a few months back, and am now in the market for some higher-end IEMs.  (At...
