It's a simple matter, lets just pile it all up in one thread. I've done my fair share of questioning, but I also like Grado products. Lets just post our opinions on what we like/dislike WITHOUT criticizing others or defending anything. I just want one thread where people state their opinions...

The HF-2 and HD800 have both come to light as somewhat controversial items recently. People are complaining about build materials of the HD800, others are complaining about the Head-F1 mistake. Thing is, in the end, everyone is just going to roll over belly up to Grado and Sennheiser. And after...

There's so much hype flying around the AD700 now a day. I'm amazed honestly. It's like how the HD580 was hyped a couple years ago... I just wanted to know how many of you have owned more than 2 headphones competing for the same market as the AD700. I know I went around saying "Oh the SR225...

Hey yall I'm trying to figure out how to get SSI to work on my godaddy hosting but I can't get it to work for the life of me. I don't really know how to set up the hosting for it to accept SSI. I threw in a .htaccess file with Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes AddType...

Let's talk about our running shoes! (note: why has no one made a running shoe fi thread yet?) Over the past couple years of running I haven't really put too much consideration into my running shoes. I have used various crappy cross trainers, and I've gone through a pair of Nike Air...

Since I'm pretty sure everyone got tricked into clicking the other Bose vs Skullcandies thread, I decided to make a real one so we can endlessly debate(troll each other) the quality/price of the two brands relative to each other! Heaven or Hell? LETS ROCK.

So my friend came to me looking for a suggestion for well isolating headphones in the $50 to $150 range. The reason behind this is that his horrible horrible siser sings very poorly (and very often) and his computer is located in the den of his house. He currently owns a pair of SR-60s but he...

Well in the spirit of this thread on diyaudio.com diyAudio Forums - Follow up on copper foil speaker cables I'm curious as to your experiences with flat foil cables. I'm thinking of maybe trying a stacked setup for headphones. Anyone have anything to say aside from "do it!"? It'd be greatly...

So... I've been telling myself to wait and wait and wait for a budget receiver with HDMI splitting and video pass through, but I'm fed up with waiting really... What are people's opinion on using HDMI receivers as pre-pro in a system? How does the low end stack up to the high end? I've...

Alright, for all the Little Dot MK1 fans out there. I got a few opamps and have been comparing them. The opamps: LT1364 (as recommended in the other LD MK1 thread) LT1469 OPA2111 LM4562 (stock) Songs used: (all FLAC) Beethoven Symphony No.9 Adagio molto e cantabile - Andante moderato...

Help! I desoldered some drivers earlier and that went without a hitch, but now I'm trying to solder the new cable I made and my iron won't even get hot enough for me to tin it! 25watt pencil btw

http://hometech.apartmenttherapy.com...-in-one-032807 Check that out: bluetooth headset/headphones/speaker for those who are too lazy Yes, the headphones fold open to be portable speakers. The idea sounds ridiculous and the audio probably won't sound all that great. Interesting idea...

Alright... Since joining head-fi, I have come across numerous braiding threads and have come across the question of "how do I do X braid?" many times. So in order to stop being constantly annoyed by that question, I figured we could make a "how to braid cables" megathread. I'll update with all...

Well I have a dilemma, I'm currently recabling some headphones with 26 awg cotton copper. I'm using 6 strands for a 1 signal 2 ground setup for each channel. I intend to use the headphones for home-ish use. I might use it for travel but no outdoor/public use. Currently I have already braided...

Is the xin reference the only portable amp with a 1/4 out? Just a little curious question after taking a look pictures of the xin reference. /anyone also think the xin reference looks funny with 4 plugs on the face?

Well, I posted this in my old, old thrifty-fi thead. But since I figured this is a pretty fun idea, I made another thread for everyone to share their expenditures and such. I wonder if anyone on head-fi has ever made a profit. ($150) : Grado SR-225 purchase ($50) : PA2v2 purchase ($7) ...

Alright! Following in the footsteps of Audiocats, I decided to mod my BKH3s into a napkin ring woody headphone not unlike the one Audiocats made. If you are curious, here's Audiocats' thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=241283 Materials:BKH3 drivers: They are gonna get...

At the moment I'm looking at floorstanders in a stereo setup in which I'd add a sub later. I'm just gonna start out with an image for you guys to get an idea of what I'm working with. Furniture and speaker placement is open to suggestions except not in front of the windows, sliding door, or...

I was just curious as to your opinion on speakers that were designed to be upward firing. I saw a couple and it intrigues me as to how the dynamic of orientation of the speaker changes the sound signature.

Alright, I'm buying my buddy an amp and some cans for his birthday / Christmas gift... The deal is that I'm limiting myself to around 160 and have decided on a few of the better possibilities to get him when it actually comes to the cans. To give a little background, my friend has been doing...

Just curious... I figure this is going to be a question who goes out to anyone who has knowledge of pricing structures or works for a headphone producing company. Seeing threads about Bose being overpriced or headphone gear in general being overpriced in the eyes of the uninformed has got me...

I have yet to see any claim to be a thrifty head-fier. Anyone else around here try to minimize all losses on their headphone addiction? ($150) : Grado SR-225 purchase ($50) : PA2v2 purchase ($7) : ratshack pads and 1/4 to mini adapter $200 : Sold Grado SR-225 $45 : Sold PA2v2 $10 : kept...

I've come to realize a sad truth... I just recently cut a mohawk (for kicks) and was looking at some circumaural closed cans and I just come to the realization that I can't wear them if I have a mohawk! Yes... I guess they could be hair thread 2.0 hahaha Anyone else want to share their...

Alright, the truth is that I've already downgraded (I sold my SR225, iPod, and PA2v2, used a pengamp for a little too but it was just borrowed.) and I am currently using my KSC75s and my Meizu stock earbuds. It's currently driving me nuts how badly I want some new gear but I have several...

Alright, so I went to China this winter and decided to pick up a Meizu as a Christmas gift for myself. First thing I've got to say is that I am fairly impressed with it. There are some quirks that need to be worked on (firmware upgrades probably), but overall it is a very nice DAP as a nano...
