    I need some IEM in-ear headphones that I can break.

    Why do I need them to break? Because I am rough with my earbuds and I always seem to kill one side of the set. Right now I have a pair of Skullcandy earbuds that actually got the right side ripped off.    I'm looking for some very inexpensive (but not cheap, mind you) in-ear headphones /...

    Good Equalizer For Macs!

    I think I've found a very simple, very nice program for Mac users that let them change the EQ on their whole system with just a few clicks, and also get down to fine tuning the audio.  The program's called "Hear".  Download   It's universal, and runs without needing to start up sound...

    Should I even consider buying an amp?

    I just purchased a pair of MDR V6s as well as a pair of Sennheiser HD 280s.    I was looking at also buying an amp and thought that the FiiO E6 looked like a good deal. Should I even bother buying an amp for these headphones? They both already drive very easily, and I'm not sure how much...

    Optimizing Settings for iTunes

    I'm a fairly new Hi-Fier and am starting to feel the need for higher quality sound. iTunes has a bunch of settings: AAC, AIFF, Lossless, & WAV settings with optional VBR as well as adjustable Stereo Bit Rates & Sample Rates.     I've read this, and skimmed over this. From the looks of it...

    Is this a brilliant, bad or HORRIBLE idea??!?!

    I'm interested in buying a pair of sub $150 headphones. Now, I'm not really asking for opinions on the headphones, per-se (but you can leave yours).   It's come to these choices.   Audio Technica ATH-M50 ~ $110 KRK KNS-8400 ~ $100 Sony MDR-V6 ~ $60 Sennheiser HD 280 ~ $70  ...

    Detachable vs Fixed headphone cables

     Detachable seems the way to go it seems. You can easily replace a cable, have options, and it acts like a break-away if you get too excited.  I'm no expert, but the only pro to fixed cables seems that they DON'T pop out, which could be annoying.    Your thoughts?

    Completely new to Amps. Are they actually worth it?

    I've been looking at headphones for a while now, and all of a sudden amps start showing up. What are they, how do they work? Do they need batteries or external power? Are they actually useful for portable devices?     Sorry, lots of noob questions. Ignore this post, or direct me somewhere.

    Dr. Dre Trade - The adventure of bad Headphones

    My mother, being the wonderful person she is, gave me a pair of Dre Beat Studo's for my 23rd this year.  While I do appreciate her thought, they just.... fail. I've had them waaay past the return date, (trying to give them a chance) so I can't return them.... So I got the idea to sell them...
