Dog ate my better half's iBuds (finally!) so she's in need of a replacement.  She was generally happy with them; but looking for replacement recommendations.  Source would be her Nexus 5 or thinkpad.  I'd feel dirty telling her to just buy another iBud without due diligence.

Looking for something to plug into an Android device or Mac to feed my Shures while on the go.  I have an O2/ODAC that works well at stationary; but direct connect to my MBA or MBP are both noisy; as is my cellphone.  Any recommendations on pairing?   I currently have FiiO e17 which is a bit...

I don't really have a price range; but use case would be either directly from my Nexus 5; one of my laptops (Macbook) or if I'm at my desk for whatever reason maybe plugged into my Schiit Valhalla (Worried a bit about being overly sensitive..).   I have fairly eclectic musical tastes...

Not a good wording; but let me elaborate.   For sources have a Desktop; 2 laptops (Mac+PC), PS3, and tablet/phone at my desk at all times (and 4 monitors..). I'd like to be able to use them all easily with (minimal) cable swapping.     I'd also like to be able to flip a switch and go from a...

All, I'm in need of advice.  Having recently picked up a Sen hd650; my previous desktop setup of e09k+e17 just didn't cut it anymore. I was using an O2+Odac combo at work, and it soundly clobbers my FiiO stack unto it's now sitting at work.  The problem is the O2+Odac I have has no other...

As title suggest; looking at getting my first custom.  I recently had some earplugs made via westone for automotive use;  and I think I've decided I'd like to get some customs; and price wise have narrowed it down to those two models.  Anyone with multiple customs care to comment on the two?  ...

After having 2 blockages in 6 months (Fairly horrible as I'm sure a few of you know) I stopped using my e4c (Gave to my wife; who doesn't like them.. :( )   I've been thinking about getting a pair of custom molds for years now (comfort being the key factor), and was curious if anyone with...

Having just ordered an EO9k to compliment it yesterday I was listeningto my E17 plugged into my work laptop via USB; walked away; and when I came back I was unable to turn it back on.   Power switch still has the nice 'click'; just no response...   For the last 3-4 months; the DAC hasn't...

Hey all. Upon taking a new job; I'm now in a shared cubicle environment, and i'm finding the ambient noise distracting.  I've been using a pair of Sen MX 880's for a few years without complaints; but I think i'm in need of a bit more isolation.       My thoughts being comfort and isolation...

Hello. Currently; I have an XFI Xtreme Music --> GoVibev4 --> dt770 pro 250ohm as my desktop setup; and I like it. I also some AL MX5021 speakers I swap plugs with whenever I want speakers. My problem is I think my XFI is dieing.. Randomly the card just stops working (win7 rc as OS right...

Hello. My mind went blank and I posted this elsewhere the other day; but it seems most appropriate for this forum. I am heading to NYC in a few weeks; I've never been there; and am looking for interesting places to check out. Many people have similar tastes in shops as myself I assume; so...

Hello all. I am heading to NYC for the first time in a few weeks; and looking for places to check out. Anyone have any recommendations? I am not sure where to post this, but I specifically am looking for a USB Dac for my work PC's (linux and win), and it would be nice to just "walk in" (else...

I have had my SA6 for awhile now; but it seems after an hour or so of use; my ears get itchy with the included bi-flange (Which has caused me to use them less and less as time has gone on). I always used foamies on my e2c before they died; so I am thinking... Shure Black Foam Sleeves...

Recently picking up an SA6; I have come to find the headphone jack on all of the laptops I use at work very... lacking. Not needed amping as SA6 is easy to drive; but a simple dac; I have found from searching these forums this to be a difficult task to say the least, much harder than amp or...

Hello head-fi; it's been awhile. I finally got around to selling my extra set of dt770's, and think it's time for an amp upgrade. Currently; I am listening through dt770 250ohm plugged into a goVibe v4 and pk2's plugged into a 30gb zune. I am looking for an upgrade to the goVibe I...

I bought a pair of e2c's about 18months ago. I have used them fairly extensively since then. I just put them on, and when i did i noticed there was a cut in the line leading to left ear piece, almost like someone took a wire cutter to them but just pinched, didn't strip the casing off. If i...

hola. I'm in need of a new cell phone; and looking at prepaid plans as I don't want to be locked into a contract. I'm currently on t-mobile; where the signal is spotty at best (10c/min 100 dollars at a time on it, take me 3-4 months to use 100 bucks on it) My phone however is starting to...

Hello. I have a BD dt770pro 250ohm being powered by a OP285GS go-vibe V4. I am happy with the setup; but I think my govibe might not be strong enough to drive them to their full potential. I have of logitech MX5021 multimedia speakers; and end up swapping cords whenever I want to go...

hi. I have an X-FI xtreme music and don't want to continue to swap cables when going from speakers to headphones. If I set my xfi to 4 channel; and enable cmss-3d and stereo; i can have headphones and my 2.1 speakers plugged in and both play; but the cmss3d colors the sound. Is there a better...

hey. I have a Go-Vibe v4 w/ stock OP285GS opamp in it right now. I go x-fi->govibe->dt770-250 currently and enjoy the sound. I'm not sure what it is; but the 770's low end doesnt seem quite as prominant as reviews/etc lead me to believe. They were purchased for gaming, and the sound...

From browsing here it looks like the Pocket Amp 2 - Version 2 adds a bit more bass which would be a good thing for low impedence shure e2c; but would the same amp be able to power some dt 770pro? (80 or 250 oem, probably 80 when I find a good place to get a pair) I've read mentions of the...

Hi. I don't have access to a Guitar Center within 100 miles of me, and am looking for a pair of Beyer DT 770pro's. 165 at guitar center from what i've read, but I can't seem to find a comparable price online anywhere. Any suggestions on where to look...?

I just picked up a buffered cmoy from MisterX, and am looking for a decent set of cans to go with it. I mainly use my computer for gaming and music (listen to everythign but rap and country for the most part), and as such after perusing tthese forums for a few weeks have settled on Beyerdynamic...

I have a pair of Senn hd212 pro's and some Shure e2c's i use dependign whether or not I feel like wearing my glasses or not. My Senn's i've heard wouldn't benefit too much from amping; but i've heard that my Shures could sound much better amped. I currently have them plugged into a 5 dollar...
