I have a Fiio E11 portable amp that I could use to drive the headphones. As for sound signature, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I'd prefer headphones that provide detailed high-end and good mids along with a nice, deep soundstage... But don't we all?

Okay, I was a bit vague in that first post: -No preference on open or closed -Current headphones: Sennheiser HD 218 -Audio export format: .wav So my current headphones are awful for production, and I'm looking for something with a flat frequency response that can get the job done. The two sets...

Finally decided to make room in my budget for some new cans! I'm looking for headphones that have a flatter frequency response out of these two, but I'd also accept other recommendations in the same price range. The problem I've had with my other headphones is that certain frequencies in my...

I actually did consider that when I couldn't find anything on parts express. Is there a way to make a flare at the end of the port for aesthetics?

I looked on parts express, but I only found one that required a 1-3/8" cutout and one that required a 2-1/2" cutout. Nothing for a 1-1/2"

I'm putting some life into an old set of bookshelf speakers, and they seem to be missing the interior ports (now just holes in the boxes). Does anyone know where I could get some new 1.5 inch ports?

Okay, I couldn't find an ohm meter so I connected my receiver to the high level input of the sub. It still failed to produce any sound. I finally decided to use the "NOPE THIS IS TOO HARD" strategy and connected the high level input terminals directly to the woofer. Using an external amplifier...

I recently found an old Klipsch RW 10 (I know, I need to take a break from loudspeakers) laying around, and I decided to hook it up in my room with my new bookshelf speakers. Well, when I replaced the old fuse, the new one blew up the second I flipped the power switch (no input had been...

Thank you for your help. I'll probably post a followup thread in the future if/when I am able to effectively produce with Reason. Also, I highly recommend trying out Caustic for Android and iOS devices. Even if you already have a more capable desktop program, it's useful if you get an idea away...

So I tried out Reason a bit, and it seems pretty complicated next to Caustic. Caustic had a learning curve of about 4-5 days for me, not sure if Reason will take longer for me to fully grasp. I have a decent idea of how the Redrum drum computer works, and I'm trying to get my head around Thor...

Wow, I really appreciate the detailed response! Thank you, I'll be sure to check out Reason when I get to my desktop.

I've heard of Ableton before, but I haven't tried it. How does its interface compare to FL?

I recently started making edm some time this year. While I'm mostly satisfied with my music, it doesn't sound as professional as I would like. I think this is because I use Caustic 3 for Android. I've tried FL and Massive, but they're too complex for me. Any recommendations on a new program to...

My recommendation would have to be the Audio Technica M50x. I know I probably recommend these too often, but they are simply amazing. I believe they're around $170 or so on Amazon right now, but I should check again. *edit: woo, guessed the price correctly. They're $170.*

My guess would be either a smartphone or an mp3 player. I would assume we're looking for on/over the ear headphones, correct?

I found a sub from an old ProMedia 2.1, so I do have a sub... However, its amp is shot and I need an external power source for it. When I search for amps, all I find is car audio stuff. How am I supposed to power it if I don't have a subwoofer output on my receiver?

My current bookshelf speakers (sorry excuses for bookshelf speakers anyway) probably need to be replaced sometime soon. I use these exclusively for gaming and movies, so I don't think midrange is a very important frequency here. I would appreciate any suggestions. Additional info: The room is...

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm probably going to get the 500 watt subs, but what are the advantages of spending more for higher rated subs? Don't they just require more power to achieve the same volume?

I have a 750 watt mono amp powering 2 600 watt CVT10s (Kicker), and I saw a dual subwoofer box loaded with 500 watt Fosgate 12s on Amazon. Is 750 watts too much power for these subwoofers? If so, what alternatives are in the $200 price range? EDIT: Also, would I still be sending 750 watts of...

It's a truck, actually... but anyway, I decided to put the 200 watt speakers in there because i haven't been using my desktop recently. Here's the strange part, though: they run just fine on a 100 watt inverter. How much power do these speakers actually use? That said, the lows are...

1. I don't own these myself... but if they sound good to you, they sound good. It's all personal preference, really. 2. I wouldn't be afraid to crank them up a little. As long as they don't bottom out, you should be okay. 3. My Turtle Beach headset does the same thing. Many people find it...

On a slightly off-topic note, does anyone know where I can find extra original tips for the Brookstone "e1 Thunder Bass" earbuds? They actually sound pretty good for everyday use, but every other tip I use comes off inside my ear... very unpleasant.

I think the TSA may have stolen my HD 419 headphones. I checked a bag on my flight from Baltimore to Atlanta. When I got to the hotel, I found this note and the headphones were missing. I never considered the possibility of this happening until now.

I dont think its worth the money to even try them out. I picked some up at a Gamestop a while back so I could listen to music while I did yard work. Basically all of the frequency ranges somehow clashed with each other, turning the whole song into one giant, muddy mess. So no highs, no lows...

"Beats me" I see what you did there.
