    Portapro sound in other form factors?

    Hola, hello, nei ho. What do you guys think has a similar sound signature to the Portapro, but in a different form factor? I'm curious and interested in any other form factor or price range. The obvious answer is KSC-75/35; I'm sure there's others out there too. Searching brings up old threads...

    Bang for buck: V-Moda Vibe vs. JVC Marshmallow (FX-33)

    There seems to be a lot of confusion and wondering going on about these two phones recently, and how the compare with one another (it seems to be generally clearer that both at least bang for buck outperform the EP-630/CX300). V-Moda Vibe: edit:~90 USD. missed the earphonesolutions.com deal...

    the reason I've stuck with canalphones over IEMs (correct me if I'm wrong)

    **edited to fix my poor terminology XD, mods please fix title is that, from what I understand (never having had the pleasure of owning a pair of IEMs) is that with IEMs you can't "just pull the things out". On-the-go, which is when I'd be using in-ear buds or canalphones, I'll be on transit...

    And two of the best singers in Canada are...

    From a Canadian who's loving our music scene right now: Leslie Feist - releases under 'Feist', member of the awesome (and pretentious) Broken Social Scene - try the album Let It Die, then the album of remixes, Open Season. Standout songs include 'Mushaboom', 'Inside and Out', 'Let It Die'...

    Semi-canalphone that's not the HJE-50?

    Your thoughts? I've had the HJE-50's for a while now, and I quite like the sound-- fun and great bass for the size. But the tips keep flying off, and unless someone can point me towards a cheap source of tips (that's in Canada, or will ship to Canada) I'm open to trying new things (HeadFi wallet...

    I'm a jazz newbie and...

    Well, of the albums I've listened to: Kind of Blue quickly became one of my favourite albums of any genre. Bitches Brew was great. And Sketches of Spain and A Love Supreme were good. If the jazz experts of HeadFi would recommend something I might like, that'd be great.. If these...

    Convince me to buy/not buy an iPod Mini/Zen Micro/other mini HDD DAP

    I've read around HeadFi, ipodlounge, nomadness, etc... and still can't decide. So if you do so please, convince me to buy/not buy -insert a mini HDD DAP here- of your choice, and make mine and I'm sure many other people's decision easier. Some basic questions as well: Just how bass...

    New Audio Technica clipons - ATH-EQ77?

    http://www.audiocubes.com/product/Au...eadphones.html Has anyone heard these? The reviews on AudioCubes are positive-- but as everyone knows, they usually are. Personally, I'm hoping they don't follow the Audio Technica clipon trend of poor bass...

    Philips HP-250?

    Anyone heard these? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...onics&n=281407 If you're in Canada, you've probably seen them as the cheapest closed circamaural headphones around. I'm no audiophile (yet... stupid Headfi) so I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts. They sound surprisingly...

    Zen Micro sound characteristics?

    Hey, since I trust HeadFi about audio stuff more than anyone else.. I'm looking at getting a Zen Micro to replace my buggy Rio Nitrus for my DAP needs. I'm just wondering as to the Zen Micro's sound- if there's bass roll-off/treble roll-off, the quality of the custom equalizer, how well it...

    Thank you HeadFi

    Thanks to all the advice and discussion, a few weeks ago I purchased a pair of ATH-FC7's from Buddha in the For Sale forums. Being a university student, their size, portability, closed nature and sub $100 price were more than enough to sway me, and of course, the beautifully punchy bass helped...

    Quick question about the Koss line

    Hey, reading everything on here, ninety-five percent of the time, people are raving about the Koss line, especially for portable use. (Porta Pro, KSC-35 to 75) Just one thing about them - I see they're listed at 60 ohms? Shouldn't that make them fairly difficult to drive from your typical DAP...

    Newbie having trouble deciding what to get

    Hey everyone, there's such a whirlwind of info on here, I'm not too sure what to get. I'm a Canadian university student without too much money, so ebay is probably where I'm going. I need something closed for main use, mostly portable. Comparing the HD202, CD380, and CD580, where should I be...

    Where is a decent place to buy headphones in Canada?

    Any other Canadians notice that prices for headphones up here seem to be WAY more than the exchange rate? For example, the headphones Head-Fi loves to hate, the Sony MDR-v300, purportedly have a 'street price' of ~$30 in the US. Here, they're $70! Other headphones are the same way, and shipping...
