I've had the Jabra 75ts for probably a couple of years, and they're fine for music but they suck for calls whenever I'm not in a quiet environment (and when I am I generally don't use earbuds for calls!). I can be walking down the street, it doesn't even have to be insanely noisy outside...

I've had all kinds of headphones in my life. At some point I owned Tesla T1s (wonderful, sold due to tinnitus) and Sennheiser IE8s (weird, had to EQ the **** out of them, hence sold). Also various Grados (SR60s 20 years ago, RS1s more recently, wasn't wowed by them), Shure SRH840 (loved them but...

Listen mainly to rock, prog, folk, blues country, fusion.  Like a presentation that has excitement, but also not fatiguing.   I had some IE8s a while ago, I thought they were good once EQd, but the isolation wasn't great, and overall I feel they were good but I expected more for the money...

I currently use Shure SRH840s at work, but I'm suffering from their look.  I know it's a shame, but in some companies if you want to be taken seriously, a big set of cans on your head doesn't do the trick.  Sound-wise, I'm a fan, I find them much more musical and comfortable than the M50s I had...

This is kind of a follow up to my thread at http://www.head-fi.org/t/608458/integrating-headphone-amp-to-home-cinema-system-pre-power-amp-discussion.   I am the proud owner of some T1s, and I was amazed that people in the thread ^^ suggested plugging them into my receiver output.  From what...

In my home studio, I have a M-Audio Delta 1010 rack-mounted sound card.  Outputs 1 / 2 are the stereo pair that is used for monitoring, to my Alesis monitors.  But I sometimes need to monitor with headphones.  There is no dedicated headphone-out on the sound card, so I understand that I need a...

I have some SR60s that I've owned for about 15 years (when I bought them, nobody had heard of them).  I still like them, they don't disappoint as such, they are very listenable, but the open back is a bit of a problem (both ways) as a lot of my listening is at work and on public transport.  ...

  Hi all,   I have a pair of Sennheiser IE8s that I thought I had lost last week, running for a bus.  It turns out that they were safe at home, but it did make me think about buying some cheaper IEMs for day-to-day use.  I have to say that I have never been that in love with the IE8s...
