Hey everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts about where the IE80 sits on the rating table these days. They go for somewhat of a steal on amazon and for someone being out of the game for so long, I don't know if they're still worthwhile in comparison to the new IEMs. Flipping through...

Hi all, I just tried the westone 4 at the airport while travelling and simply put, Mind Blown! I need one right now and since I'm travelling, i cant order it at the moment. Does anyone know where i can buy them at a store somewhere in new hampshire? I'm not good with patience.

Hi everyone, I would like your opinion on upgrading my setup. I currently have a Fiio D3, a Schiit Lyr and an AKG K701. I plan to get the Schiit Bifrost as a DAC and LCD-2 cans.

Hello everyone! I recently (obsessively) started reading head-fi, initially to look at custom IEMs but now have much more interest in a home headphone setup. I recently purchased an AKG K701 from a fellow head-fi-er and am awaiting its arrival. I really like analytical sound and I listen to a...
