I currently use my Klipsch S4 as my primary IEM for casual listening and in the gym. I am wondering if anyone can recommend an upgrade over the Klipsch with a similar sound profile and fit? To be clear, I am not looking for a neutral IEM. I like the bass profile of the Klipsch, but wanted...

Has anyone experienced this issue?  I just got the Xonar DGX and noticed that when I plug my headphones into the front panel jack I have to crank the volume up to about 70% just to get a reasonable volume.  The rear jack works fine.  My onboard RealTek only requires the volume to be at 15% for...

Is there a significant difference in features between the entry level Xonar cards like the DGX vs the higher end cards like the Xonar Essence STX or the Creative Xi-Fi Titanium HD if all you care about it sound through headphones?     While I do have an analog output to a receiver to power...

I am looking for an inexpensive sound card to amp headphones around 80 ohms.  Dolby Headphone would be a plus (for headphone surround), but I don't necessarily need Dolby Live functionality as I am not planning to hook up to surround receiver to need encoding for optical out.  Just looking to...

Hey all,   I have been researching the DT770(80 ohm).  How does that compare sound wise to the 25-1-II and the ATH-M50?      I heard that these are preferably driven by an amp.  Do they sound bad coming off a desktop on-board sound card?  If so, I do have the desktop tied into an older...

Hey all,   I have been trying several different headphones, but still have yet to find one I like.  I started with the ATH-M50s.  I loved the sound, but the comfort was an issue.  It had too much clamping force, and not enough ventilation to prevent sweat, and the pressure was too much.   ...

Hey all.  I was all set to purchase the V-Moda M80s.  I tried them out though at my local store and felt that they had too much clamping force.  I like the sound and feel of the cups, but did not like the clamping feel.   My top priority is comfort.  I liked the feel of the Bose AE2 or IE2...

I narrowed my choice down to Grado SR225 or V-Moda M80.  Looking for comfort as well as clarity of sound.  I am using on my computer at home in quiet environment.  So noise isolation is not a factor.  Which would give the best overall clarity of sound and comfort.

I have narrowed my list of headphones down to the following:   VModa M-80 Grado SR890 or 225 Harmon Kardon CL B&W P3 or 5   I am mostly interested in comfort and for the headphone to sound crisp while still having decent bass.  I liked the ATH M50 but comfort did me in.  I prefer...

I have almost decided to purchase the HD 25-1 II.  My only hesitation is the comfort level.  I previously returned the ATH-M50s because they clamped too tight to my ears (and I also did not like the feeling of the over the ear seal that made my ears sweat).  I am looking for a decent pair of...

I am looking for on ear headphones to use for home audio and computer usage.  I tried the Audio Technica ATH-M50.  But the grip was too tight, the pressure on my ears felt uncomfortable, and my ears sweated.     Does anyone have any good recommendations under $200?  I was considering the...

I am trying to replace my broken old JVC on-ear headphones for use on my computer primarily for gaming, though occasionally for music.     For portable use I already own the Klipsch S4 and absolutely love them.   I tried buying the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s.  I found the sound to be great...
