I've run a search but didn't find anything specifically related to 2.5mm to 3.5mm cables, as they're obviously not common these days, but the M4, unfortunately, comes with one and doesn't seem to run USB-C to USB-C for music. I'm wanting to upgrade it so that I get the most out of the M4s when...

Morning all I've got a pair of unopened B&O Portals, unopened as I can't decide or find enough evidence to say whether they are a proper pair of B&O phones with a dollop of Xbox tech thrown in, or too much of a sonic compromise if you're not really a gamer. I still travel a fair amount, so an...

I'm currently using  a pair of HD-25 IIs and I’m after an additional set of phones for the office. In case this requires different gear, I’m after a set of closed phones which are ideally suited to Mono?   Your recommendations plse. Pricing sub £100.   Cheers

Just picked up a pair for long haul and would ideally like to have some triple flange tips, but can't seem to find any.   Cheers

I've recently and suddenly had a 50db drop in hearing on one side - high tone deafness - which mostly effects speech and music. I've tried to counteract it on my D2 but it's not enough, even playing with the Pan feature and pushing it to -20/20.   So I'd appreciate any advice on what might...

I recently bought these and my first impression of the packaging, notable the print of the CX 400, was that they are fakes.   I was also concerned by the slightly blotchy painted S on the main body of the phones.   I've contacted the seller who said that they believe they are real and...

Got the news the other day that a virus I picked up last year has caused permanent hearing loss in one ear, and I'm going to have to wear a hearing aid. 35 years too young for one! :(   Anyway, what it means is that I will probably be better off replacing my Klipsch Image X10 IEMs, which I...

I've had good service from my DAB D2, especially with a 32GB card, but the desire to get something else is here, and something with buttons as I'm not a great fan of touchscreens. Budget: About £150 - so may be looking at "used" IEMs: Klipsch Image X10s Music: All sorts Your...

Have a bit of upgraditis so was wondering what people would suggest? I play all types of music on my D2 and use IEMs more for when travelling ie either of flights or main source for listening when away. So since it's not for listening in perfect ambient surroundings I don't want to go...

I've been using some MDR-EX082 with my D2 for a while now and am looking for an alternative. I don't find them particularly exciting or musical. I'm after some canals rather IEMs so that I'm not completely cut off from the office, which my super-fis achieve very well! Proper phones are not an...

Curious - Head-fi is bringing out upgradeitis again!

Open phones and IEMs are really practical, so I'm after a budget pair of Canals for the office. Keep my SR80s and Super.Fi 5 Pros at home. They'll be used more for entertainment that serious listening. EP-630s apparently available on Amazon for £8.99, CX300 for £11.99. Against this price...

Buds always pop out and I don't want to use IEMs for the usual reasons. Some of the Sony banded in the ear don't stay put for long either. Anyone have any recommendations for practical, lightweight, non bounce, non slip out/off phones? Cheers

Going to pull the trigger on some replacements ones by 4pm so that I get them tomorrow. They'll be used with a Kenwood HD10GB7. I'm after excellent isolation and musicality. Shortlist is: Atrio M5 Super.Fi 5 pros Ety ER4P q-jays Klipsch Custom 2 Any final words of wisdom given...

Need some more IEMs to replace the replacements which I lost when disembarking an overnight flight. Now there's reason enough not to do that again! I only use IEMs for planes, trains and the Tube, so they don't have to be so high-end. Listen to all sorts, from Choral to Dance. Excellent...

Is there any noticeable SQ difference? I tend to rip at either 192 or 256 onto my Kenwood 10GB7, which I only use in the office or on the train and with d-jays. Cheers

Prices range greatly; any recommendations for online shops?

I've found one for a pretty good price, used, and plenty of warranty left, albeit it with the Hong Kong dealer. It'd be used in the office and on the commute only with IEMs. Any reason not to go for one, the SL release aside?

1. What's the difference between the X3 and XB? 2. What is the isolation like? (I'm after something v effective for the train, tube and on flights). Thanks

I'm looking at advancedmp3 website and it's tempting me. I want a good fit for noise isolation and good SQ of course. What I don't want to do is overbuy as at home I'll use my Grados. I've had ER6is and E4Cs in the past but am now IEM-less. Budget up to £100 but less is preferable. Thanks

I lost my E4Cs the other day and while I wait for the insurance company to sort it out, I'm after a budget pair to tide me over. EP-630s seem a bit of a bargain but are there any other recommendations? Cheers

I didn't have time to draw up a list for him before he left, so as I've been offline for a few months I thought I'd better ask for what's hot in Flash DAPs. I'll be adding to a 4GB Zen V Plus which I like for size but find the sound a bit indifferent. I do like the full sound of iaudio, which...

In the pursuit of improved SQ I'm unclear whether to simply up the quality of recording using EAC from 192 and/or invest in an ultraportable amp? I will be using V-Moda Remix at work; E4Cs when travelling and SR80s at home. I have a musical/critical ear, so getting the best out of current...

Dumb question I know - but where do they go after copying and how do I transfer them onto my DAP? Cheers

ADMIN - PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD - MAJOR TYPING ERROR IN TITLE CHEERS In the pursuit of improved SQ I'm unclear whether to simply up the quality of recording using EAC from 192 and/or invest in an ultraportable amp? My DAP has Line Out only. Cheers
