    Anyone know about the Grado HF-1?

    My apologies if this isn't the correct forum but am wondering what people think this headphone is worth? I have a pair in close-to-mint condition (in a signed box), that I would like to sell.

    Why do I hear the piano only on the right and horns on the left?

    Recently got into Jazz and have noticed that many of the albums I have (some Bill Evans live recordings and Coltranes GIant Stesp, amongst others)...the horns are only coming from the left and the piano can only be heard on the right. Am finding it a bit uncomfortable to listen to this...

    Google Play Music substitute?

    Am finding YouTube music to be a terrible replacement for Google Play. Not a fan of Spotify or other "rental" streaming platforms. I would ideally like to stream my music through a private server and have a simple interface similar to Itunes on desktop. No album art or pictures of any kind...

    Can someone suggest a good Android music player?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know if these would sync wirelessly (over wifi) to Itunes? I found a couple of apps that do it but have no clue if they are any good (Isyncr and Doubletwist). Will look into your suggestions.

    Can someone suggest a good Android music player?

    Thanks in advance for reading: I am looking for a piece of software that will most closely resemble the old Ipod AND ideally somehow connect with Itunes. Specifically, I want to be able to see my Artists, Albums and Genres and purely text-based lists. No album covers! I find it incredibly...

    Software and/or Android app for my cloud-based music library?

    My current setup: Use Itunes at home when listening to music. On the road, use my Android phone Am looking to accomplish the following: Use a program that allows me to have Itunes-type UI (where I can simply see lists of artists/albums/genre...without all the photos), on my phone (and...

    Is there a "Ludovico Einaudi of Violin"?

    Am blown away by Balanescu. Just bought Maria T and its astoundingly beautiful. Literally exactly what Im looking for. I find Giger to be a little too minimalist for me. Already know the others. Thanks so much.

    Is there a "Ludovico Einaudi of Violin"?

    BIg LE fan here-looking for a similar style of music (modern classical, emotive, somewhat minimal). Was wondering if there is a modern composer similar to him, but that composes for/focuses primarily on Violin?

    Best option for moving all music to the cloud?

    Thanks in advance for reading: I have a fairly large digital audio library that ranges in quality (50% in 256-320 and the rest in LOSSLESS or FLAC). All of it currently sits in a home computer, is accessed via iTunes and is backed up on Dropbox and various hard drives. Since I use an Android, I...

    Has anyone tried both the B&O H6 and Senn Momentum 2.0?

    I have boiled down my search for a set of closed cans for travel, down to the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 (wired) and B&O H6. I have tried both but haven't spent significant time with them. I think they are both fantastic sounding, very comfortable and have decent sound isolation. I find the Senns...

    Can anyone comment on the latest Xiaomi Headphones?

    The names these guys give their headphones...is quite confusing. I have the QTER01JY (Pistons?) and am thinking about getting the QTER02JY (Circle?). The first is the "MI Piston Hybrid" and the second is the "MI Circle Hybrid" (got the titles off of Amazon). I have no idea what a "circle" means...

    Can anyone comment on Senn 598 vs the newer 599?

    Budget AMP/DAC for the Senn HD700?

    Can the Sennheiser HD700s headband be stretched/loosened?

    I realize it not a very strong "clamp" to begin with but I happen to have a jaw problem that prevents me from wearing most over the ear headphones comfortably. Since its predominantly plastic, I was wondering if it could be loosened any further than it is stock, by stretching the headband a...

    Hello all-thanks for reading:   I am looking for an open set that can handle a bit of everything but that are known for their minimal head-clamping force and overall comfort. I am a big audiophile so quality in all respects is of paramount importance as well. That said and unfortunately due...

    Question for Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H6 owners:

    When I take the headphones off my ears my ear cups only turn out  (or, towards me) which means I have turn the headset over in order to lay it flat on my table.   This makes no sense to me.   You should be able to just take them off your head and then lay them down flat by turning the cups...

    Looking for a specific type of closed-back headphone, for travel:

    First off, thanks for reading.   So let me just get this out of the way: I have a hairline fracture in my jaw that starts right underneath my ear. Yes, ouch.   I am looking for a very comfortable, non-clamp-having, closed back set, under $400.   Ideally, its will be able to handle a very...

    Just bought the HiFiman 400i. Does the clamping pressure eventually lessen?

      Right but which are considered the most conducive to this sound sig? And which are most comfortable?

    Headphones for rock/metal that don't require a powerful amp?

      Been a number of years since ive heard the 50's but Id say YES.   The X2 are easy to drive (30OHM) and in my opinion are the most under-rated and under-priced cans on the market.   The build quality is astounding and in a whole other league than your AT's. I think you'll find the two day...
