    Good all-rounder IEMs?

    I have been getting headaches due to the pressure on the top of my head from my current headphones (DT-880, MDR-MA900, ATH-A900X) and I think that I need to start looking into the purchase of a pair of IEMs above $10.     My main listening is, for lack of a better word to describe it, ethereal...

    Dealing with low quality recordings?

    My current set up is a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-880s and a FiiO E7/E9 combo, which I love.  However, I am currently doing some work as a scopist for my court reporter friend, which results in me dealing with low quality recordings. 32kbps, lots of static, muddled words, etc.    Perchance does...

    (Currently using onboard sound + ATH M30s)   Well, I had posted a thread two or three days ago asking what I should buy for ~$150, however, with research and lack of willpower, my budget is stretched a tiny bit.    I'm thinking my budget will now be $280-300'ish.     My taste in music - ...

    Recommended over-ears for under $150?

    Well, with it getting closer and closer to Black Friday, and my friend's constant pestering, I think it's time to upgrade from my current ATH-M30.    My taste in music consists mainly of female vocals (Folk'ish? Gabrielle Aplin's music as an accurate example) and classical, though I...
