I've asked a similar question, but have refined my requirements. I am looking for some confortable earbuds that are: Easy to drive (phone) Provide good isolation Use silicone tips Non-Wireless Build quality is important My budget is less than $100. Thanks!

I have number of over the ear headphones (Beyer COP, DT990 Pro, AT M50, & Sony MDR1000X), but need some in ear headphones for work and my commute. What are your recommendations for inexpensive options (under $50) and higher end options ($150). I won't be using a portable amp. I'll be...

Can anyone recommend more comfortable earpads for the Custom One Pros?

I am looking for comfortable open back headphones for gaming. I have a mic (AntLion ModMic) that can be attached so the design would need to allow for a small magnet to be attached to the side. Recommendations would be appreciated. Hoping to find something under $200. Thanks!

I am looking for a decent pair of in ear headphones that work great for the gym.  I wear glasses so they can't have the over ear support.  My current cheap pair fall out constantly.  Looking for something under $100.   Thanks! Eric

I am looking for a full size headphone AMP/DAC for my DT990s.  I currently have a FiiO E17 but am looking for a full-size amp I can keep at my desk.  My budget is around $500.  I've read some nice things about the O2 + ODAC combo but have never heard it or know if it would be a good match.  I...

Has anyone listened to the Peachtree decco65 Amp? Its more than just a dedicated headphone amp and reasonably priced.  I don't need the full amp for speakers but its a nice option if I ever wanted to hook up my Wharfedale Diamond 10.1's.

After much help from the forums, I've decided to get the DT990's Pro version.  From what I've read, the differences do not justify the increased price of the Premium version.They are priced at $149.00 so that gives me some money to look at upgrading my AMP & DAC.  I currently listen to my Custom...

My current setup is:   Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros FIIO E17 Macbook Pro   I was looking to upgrade my headphones to the Beyerdynamic T90s.  From the reviews they seem to offer the extended refinement without sounding too lean in the bass department.  The sale price unfortunately is gone...

I believe I posted this in the wrong forum since I didn't get any input. Hopefully this location is more appropriate.   Over the last year or so I've slowly build up my headphone collection.  I am ready to take the next step and trying to narrow my list down.  So far I have it narrowed to the...

Over the last year or so I've slowly build up my headphone collection.  I am ready to take the next step and trying to narrow my list down.  So far I have it narrowed to the DT880, HE400, and HD650 in no particular order. I enjoy a broad range of music ranging from rock, country, modern rock...

I have collected a number of headphones over the last year and am hooked.  Of my collection, the COPs are my favorite.  I listen to a broad range of music and enjoy cans that can produce some good bass.  My next set of headphone would be a step up in terms of refinement.  I am looking for some...

Are there any recommended burn-in steps people take with a new set of headphones?   Source Volume Level Type of music Lengths of burn-in periods Warnings Thanks!

While researching for a replacement for my defective CALs, it was recommended to take a look at the V-Moda Crossfade LP's.  Amazon has them for just over $100.  There is also a newer model - Limited Edition.  Has anyone compared the two? Is the extra $90 worth it?   Thank!

I bought the CALs back in Feb and am noticing a buzzing in the left channel.  The buzzing is most noticeable around 30hz.  Unfortunately I don't have my receipt so I can't return them for repair :(  I am hoping to find something to replace them.  What do people recommend for under $100? I am...

I just got a new Macbook and am wondering if there are any OS settings I should tweak to get the most out of my E17.  Its been a while since I've used a Mac so wanted to make sure I wasn't over looking something. Thanks!

Is there an issue with the compatibility of Mac/OS X and the FiiO E17? I've read a few comments that suggested problems with Macs and the FiiO.

I have read many reviews of these two pairs of headphones but thought I'd get some feedback from people who have actually listened to them.  Are either of them difficult to drive? Would my FiiO E17 suffice to drive these cans? Eventually I'll be getting another amp but this is what I have at the...

Just picked up some CALs for work.  Do they require much of a break in period?   Thanks!

I’ve been researching possible candidates for an addition to my small headphone collection.  Sound qualities that are important to me are extended bass with good impact, smooth treble that is detailed but not harsh, decent soundstage with separation of instruments,  and midrange that is not in...

I've been doing some research on the HE-400 lately and have run across some old and new posts regarding issues with the build quality and defective parts on the HE-400s.  Are these all old issues?  It sure wouldn't give me that pride in ownership if in the back of my head I wondered if I had a...

I have a great pair of closed headphones that I really enjoy (COP) for all around listening at work or home.  I am considering a pair of open headphones for home listening.  I generally listen to rock (old/new), country, and jazz.  I have a pair of Sennheiser HD495 that are on ear style, but I...

I was reading another thread and someone recommend the Q701s so I read a review about them.  They sound like nice headphones so I wondered what sort of characteristics do open vs. closed headphones have?  I was a bit concerned by how delicate these cans seem to be by design since I'd have to put...

Does anyone know of good EQ software that is free? Thanks, seag33k

I've done some searching for Grado SR60i pads.  My stock pads are worn and falling apart.  The only ones I can seem to find are yellow from Amazon.  Any suggestions? Thanks, Seag33k
