Hello!   I need help choosing new speakers for my computer. The thing is.. I am not looking for huge bulky speakers that take up a lot of space and the speakers will most likely be close to the wall so heating might be an issue. What are some decent speakers with good all around performance...

Ultimate Ears launched the UE900, a quad BA IEM!! I personally loved the whole UE line up especially the TF10 which until now I think is still the king of universal IEMs. Can't wait to try this gorgeous IEM!     TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS EARPHONE TYPE:In-ear  INTERNAL SPEAKER CONFIGURATION:4...

Anyway so here's a story. Not so long ago, I bought the Ultimate Ears 200 at a relatively cheap price of AUD$15 and honestly was almost blown away. Sound quality is intimate, sufficiently detailed, forgiving, mid-focused, a bit bassy and I find them really enjoyable to listen to. They're not too...

Hi everyone! This is a review and side-by-side comparison of the XBA IEMs from Sony (1, 2, 3 and 4). I am new to Sony’s headphones and IEMs and have never heard any of Sony’s audio products before the arrival of the XBAs so I am really, really excited. Since the XBAs are Sony's first shot into...

  Hey guys,   Thought I want to share my thoughts* on the ASG-1. Compared to other top tier universals, the ASG-1 hands down has the "liveliest" sound signature and the fit is great!     *This (revised) review is carried out WITHOUT EQ.  Model: Aurisonics ASG-1 Original version...

I've started watching Homeland since the first episode and its plot is truly confusing. The whole story is in the grey area - CIA got a point and the "terrorists" got a point too. Now the question is who is the real terrorist?   I honestly think Brody is not the real terrorist. What do you...

Orchestral soundtracks are usually epic and gives you the feeling of being in Pandora (from the movie Avatar) Its soundstage that overwhelms and goes beyond boundaries. I'm looking for more of these types so any recommendations are warmly welcomed.     Here are some songs I find "epic"  ...

I've been exploring the preferences on how to hide / block threads and I'm not sure if there is one. It would be nice if we can hide / block certain threads such as spams, etc.

Helloooo, I've been spending time with the Ultimate Ears 700 and the TripleFi 10 for a few weeks, and I am writing a mini comparison on these two brothers. For the record, I've owned all three brothers - UE600, UE700, TF10 but I have sold the UE600 quite a long time ago so I cannot make any...

I updated iTunes today and found a "Create Apple Lossless Version" under the "Advanced" tab. I tried the feature and it turned the file into a gigantic 51MB file (over 900kbps). The difference in sound quality is there but I'm not sure how mp3s can be uncompressed. Thoughts?

Hi,   I wanted to leave some feedback. Usually, the Headphones for Sale/Trade forums are mixed with full sized headphones and IEMs. To search for IEMs, users have to sort through the mix and it has become quite tiring. I personally think the sale/trade forums will be much more organised and...

Hello, I bought these off an eBay seller who have so far 100% feedback (First time I bought something from an unauthorized dealer from UK). I have huge doubts that this is an original retail packaged IE7. The foam inside is damaged. Seal is taped together.   It came with: -carrying case...

  Hello! I came across this lecture from Harvard that was shown on Youtube and I find it very interesting. Anyway, long story made short, if you're in certain types of situation, what would you do and why would you do such thing? What does your conscience say to you?   Rules: Read 1st...

Greetings!   I'm about to take a step into the world of full sized headphones and would love to know your recommendations. I've done some research on some unfamiliar terms and have decided that an open back, circumaural headphones would suit me nicely. As some of you may know, I have...

This is not a review. It's purely subjective.     Hello, I wanted to share my somewhat bizarre experience with my IEMs. Firstly, I did tests on two IEMs - Westone 4 and Shure SE425. They are two different species but stay with me. I used a variety of genres - orchestral classical, tango...

This is not a discussion thread but feel free to explain why you like/hate them. One post per member. Post only one favourite IEM & one least favourite IEM. Updates can be made by editing your own post. Have fun! 

The Neutral / Balanced Thread   Introduction: Hey awesome people, this thread is inspired by "The Basshead Thread". There are numerous people in Head-Fi that's interested in an accurate sound reproduction so I decided to make a thread about it. "No more, no less - that's how we like it." As a...

I tried the Windows 8 Developer Preview on my Mac and I gotta say I'm impressed with it. It looks great and people familiar with Windows don't have to go through a hard time learning the new OS. No lags, just pure smoothness. What's better is that Microsoft promises that softwares that runs in...
