    Off topic: Comfortable quality headset-mic?

    I use a stereo headset-mic at work, they gave us all Logitech headsets and they are the most uncomfortable and poor sounding things. Its important that my mic picks up my voice well and this headset does the worst job too. Can anyone recommend a headset-mic that is comfy, maybe lightweight...

    Canalphone or Earbud for jogging?

    Whats going to stay in my ear better? Canalphone (not IEM, more like ATH-CK7 style) or earbud like Yuin PK2 or Sony E888? Jogging there will be some bouncing and I am sure the cords will bounce pulling on the headphones. I'm worried that canalphones might slip out easier because they kind...

    OPA2227 - Op amp rolling - alternatives?

    I am wondering what options I have for op amp rolling in a socketed amp with a single socketed OPA2227. I find that its sounding "thin". Everything sounds kind of compressed into a narrower range. Also, where can I get any op amp you might suggest?

    Ordering from Firestone Audio

    Has any one ordered anything using Firestone Audio's home page? I tried to order today, but I got kind of confused after entering my order information. Basically, when I go to check-out, their page asks me for my name and address. Then after this is entered it shows me a total, and says...

    Just got A900 - Disappointing? Help

    Just got my A900's. This is my first Audio Technica, straight from Japan. My "grado-rich" headphone collection includes SR60/SR80, MS2i (just sold to buy these), and I frequently also listen to Porta-Pros while walking, and frequently get to audition DT-770 Woodies. After listening to...

    Sealed Can Questions

    Hi, I have owned Grados for years, but now I find that I need a sealed headphone. My coworkers will kill me if I listen to Grados much more. So my main criteria are: - People sitting next to me can't hear my music. - Sound at least as good as an SR80. I really like the sound of...

    Idea for Grado mod

    Just an idea... I am not a fan of the Grado band, and even less a fan of the plastic parts at the end of the band holding the cups. Especially on say the 325i. I saw this, is it just me or does it look like it might be very possible to fit this band and cup holding assembly to the Grados...

    AKG 271s, Beyerdynamics DT 770's, Senn 280's... Will use without an amp, probably being driven mostly by computer or small stereos for now... not a lot of portable use, just at home and at the office. Down the line, maybe a budget amp for a couple hundred bucks. Any of these three that...

    Recommendations: Robust circumaural sealed phone

    Heya all, I'm a first time poster but I lurk here all the time. I wear a pair of Grado 60's at home and Porta-Pros on the go. Been very happy with them. I'm buying some headphones now for a friend, and I need some recommendations. I'm looking for a circumaural headphone that is also...
