I have a couple more budget IEM's to add to the list. We'll be bringing a pair of RHA MA150's and Skullcandy 50/50's as well.   I still have my fingers crossed that my HiFimeDIY Sabre Android DAC will show up in time for the meet, and I'll take another look at replacing the jack on my Sunrise...

I'm running CyanogenMod 11 M12 (4.4.4). I don't think it's worth going back to stock just to see if the problem is fixed, but I'm thinking about flashing an unofficial version of CM 12.1 (5.1), and I'll report back with results if I do wind up flashing it.   I know it is not specific to the...

Hi all.   I am having the following problem with my Telus Galaxy S III: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/183530-possible-galaxy-s3-design-fault-audio-buzz-hiss-crackle-noise.html   Am I correct in thinking that the problem is with the internal DAC in my phone, and that a...

Having taken a look around the internet today, I've seen the JVC HA-RX700 and the SteelSeries Siberia v2. I'm about ready to buy the JVCs, but the Siberia caught my eye. It's had some rave reviews, and I'd be willing to spend the extra few bucks on them if they are as good as some reviews say...

Quote: Those headphones do look quite nice, but I don't really want to spend more than $50. Can you give me any recommendations at that price point?

My family's other two computers are in the same room, and my parents get offended when they hear friends swearing. My brother sits about 10' away from me, and my parents' computer is about 13 - 14'. I don't normally have the sound excessively loud, but VoIP calls can sometimes turn into shouting...

I'm looking for a pair of cheap headphones to use while gaming, as I find that my Sunrise Xciteds are uncomfortable when worn for long periods of time. The Samson SR850 and Superlux HD668B come highly recommended, and seem to be about in line with what I'm looking for with one caveat: They leak...

Quote: The cable is 10' long, and my IEMs just barely reach my computer to begin with, so the extension cable on the floor is probably what it is. I'll see what I can do about that.

Quote: I don't wear shoes in the house, but thank you for the suggestion, and for the confirmation of my suspicions. I'll have to try the IEMs without the extension again, and see if that helps any.

To clarify, the problem is a popping noise which I think is the result of static electricity, not a static noise. Thank for your help, though.

I bought a pair of Sunrise Xciteds a few months ago, and when I have them plugged into my computer via a 3.5mm extension, I am hearing popping, and it feels like static between my IEMs and my ears. I'm thinking that the problem might be buildup of static in the extension cable, which is then...

I didn't mean to accuse or point fingers there. I'm in no rush, so I'll look around for other opinions on the CKM500 as time goes on. Thank you for the advice.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to sell me something  I have considered your post. I think the ckm500 are another earphone worth buying, but just aren't outstanding enough to justify the extra $10 - 20.   One more thing to note is that I reside in Canada, and links to...

I was all ready to buy some 8320s, when I remembered that I had a cheap pair of 'phones in my bedroom. I don't know the exact price (I got them as a gift), but they were under $20. Considering the price, they sound pretty good. Bass is there, if quiet and underwhelming, while the signature is...

Interesting proposition. For $10, I might have to try them out before I decide on anything else.

I'm not sure how much this matters, but the reading I'm doing indicates that those IEMs might be a little bit slow, and the treble not suited to metal music. I wasn't planning on buying used, but if I can get something not new, but not used, I might go for it. I'm looking through the sale...

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't exactly sure. I forgot to mention that I mostly listen to my earphones when I'm out, on the way to school, shopping, and things like that (casual listening). Based on my research, I'm looking at something like the Maximo iM-590.

This being my first post, I'd like to say "Hi" to everyone. I'm just starting to get into decent-sounding audio products. I owned a pair of $35 Skullcandies for a year, and when those broke, upgraded to a $65 pair. I am now repenting my sins, and hoping that the audio gods will take me back.  ...
