Hi! So the question is: How do armature drivers work? I do understand the overall operating priciple of dynamic and electrostatic drivers, but I can not find any information on the internet considering the armatures. Tried searching Google, tried Wikipedia too. Found nothing...

All in all, the question is, which of of these sound signatures is closer to A-T ATH-CK7: Etymotic ER-6i Etymotic ER-4 Shure E4 / SE310 Shure E3 / SE210 Westone UM1 Westone UM2 UE super.fi 3 Studio UE super.fi 5 Pro Actually, my favourite is UE super.fi 5 Pro, but I'm a little bit...

Hi! Yes, I know that such question is asked VERY frequently, but still.. Recently I broke my beloved Audio-Technica ATH-CK7. That was a great loss for me, and for now I'm listening to some crappy (well, not THAT crappy actually) iAudio stock earbuds. And now I need something, that would...

That was fast. Thanks!

Hello, everybody! I have a question that's not actually related to headphones and stuff, but I don't know any places like head-fi about photography. And I decided to ask it here. So, does anyone know any decent internet source about the basics of photography? The composition of the frame and...

If you can live with 4 gb of space (max), you might consider samsung yp-z5. It had a firmware update recently, which raised battery life from 35 to 44 hours (!). dapreview.com link And as far as i know it is an UMS device, so you won't need any software to transfer music at all. (I may be...

Currently I am an official fan of the OST to an anime series Noir. Author - Kajiura Yuki. All three CDs are in my Playlist for 2 months already..

Nope. You can set your own wallpaper (which makes it even slower), but I can't see any signs of AlbumArt support.. To be honest, if I were you, I'd choose either Samsung, or an iPod nano with Rockbox. I just had the same problem recently (which I have solved via iaudio6), and I guess...

Well, I don't know about Trekstor, but I do own an iaudio6. It is a marvellous player and all, having native FLAC support, an USB-Host, massive (and clean) 30mW of power per channel and 20 hrs battery life. But there is one small issue about it. It's slow.

How about Creative Zen V Plus? You can get 4GB version for 124 Pounds here. Or a Meizu m6? This seems to be their official eBay shop..

What about Audio-Technica's ath-ck7? I think these earphones are "uber cool". And that's exactly the reason why I bought them PS You can read about them here or here. And you can buy them here

perhaps you could consider an ipod with rockbox installed? of course, it doesn't have replaceable battery, but the only HDD based DAP i know to have such feature is Sony NW-HD5. but you know Sony doesn't even play *.mp3 natively.. and as far as i know, iaudio is the only major (well, you...

well, i've bought audio-technica ath-ec7 from whsle.biz. of course, they aren't original AT phones, but still they sound WAY better than original sony buds for such price. there is, however a little problem with my ec7 - the cord started to disintigrate (right after the thingie that splits one...

hey! i have a pair of Philips SHP805 and I'm really happy with them. well, actually I'm not a mature head-fi'er yet, but for my ears they suit nice. of course, they need a bit of EQ'ing to be more balanced, but i don't think you'll get such sound AND comfort for less then 30 euros anywhere else

Thanks for the replies, guys! Now I'm still confident in the AT build & sound quality. guess I'll have to start saving money for the "AT Headphone Trip" to Japan. maybe it's a nice thing that I study japanese at the university

thanks for the replies! btw, skyline889. do your original cm7 and fake ones have any visual differences? and, if it's not a secret, where did you buy the original ones?

hello, everyone! i've bought myself a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-EC7 about 2.5 months ago. i've found them on ebay from a shop called "whsle_biz" for about 70 US Dollars (43 UK Pounds, to be correct ) and suddenly the cord began to tear right next to the place where one solid cord with the...
