    Luzli Roller on ears - a snip at $3000

    No, I haven't accidentally made a typo and added an extra "0" onto the price. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/6/30/15900498/luzli-roller-mk01-roll-up-headphones-hand-made-custom-expensive http://tecastudio.co.uk/roller/ No I haven't heard them, and I'm unlikely to either. I'm...

    iOS 11 Public Beta - Anybody else messing around with it?

    Just loaded it onto my iPad Mini 2 this morning. And, yeah there are some bugs (Calendar just shows as a white icon, but it functions), and it seems older devices, at least those using the A7 chip, have taken a speed hit - juddery scrolling and animations in some cases, but it's still early...

    Am I weird. Are my ears not human?

    I have a love hate relationship with IEMs. I Iove them in hot weather, but regardless of manufacturer and price they always sound wrong, and they all sound wrong in exactly the same way. My ears can and do adapt, and I notice it less, but the wrongness does remain I have IEMs from AKG...

    Is there anyway to ignore subforums on XenForo?

    First off this is certainly not a critical issue for me, just a nice to have feature. Since the forum switch over I've been using the "Recent Posts" and "New Posts" feature a lot as it gives me a good overview of what people are talking about, and I have an interest in virtually all aspects of...

    I really hate the term "Mid-Fi"

    As the title says, I really hate this term as it seems that most people use it with a reference to price, and not as a reference to the performance of the equipment involved. As such I think it's offputting and misleading to new members who may well get the impression that they have to be...

    Help choosing some lower midrange IEMs

    The summer here is hot and that makes wearing either my HD25s or my Beyerdynamic DT1350s very uncomfortable. I recently picked up a pair of Sennheiser CX 5.00i IEMs hoping that they'd do until the weather cooled down, but I'm really not happy with the sound. The treble is scratchy, the midrange...

    Why are IEMs and Portable Headphones lumped together in the same category?

    Just curious about this, as it's probably the only thing that I find a weird choice here. To me IEMs and portable headphones are completely different beasts - in fact portable HPs have more in common with full size HPs IMO. It's no biggie as I can search on what I need, but I do find mildly...

    Advice on a pretty much top notch Head Fi rig

    First post here - looked for an introductions section, as seems to be the norm for most forums, but couldn't find one. So I guess I'll just do the introduction here and follow up with the questions I have. Many years ago I was seriously into HiFi, but with a change of circumstance and a move of...
