I'v got a problem and I don't know whats causing it. Whenever I use IEM's it sounds horrible. Could be my ear, or just the ones i'v tried. But what I listen to them, I hear a horrible Hissing noise when the singer (in the song im listening to) makes an S noise. Listening to SHE SELLS SEA SHELLS...

I haven't posted here in awhile, but I remember awhile back there was a problem with counterfit cx300's on ebay. I am looking to purchase them, they seem to go for 10$ .. Is there anything besides checking feedback, to assure they are real? (the phones not the seller). Any tell tale signs?

I'v never had/tried a quality IEM. Except the cx300, which i enjoyed. I like bass, and am constantly underwhelmed by many headphones lack of bass. I do listen to lighter music, and would like a decent amount of clarity, and openess. I am looking at picking up the Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 EB. I...

Does anyone else prefer the bass of sr60? The comfies hold the tranducer closer to your ear. I love it. While the sr80 is more like a bass knife, stabbing you with patheticy.

Got my pk2s today. Extremely disapointing. Also, didn't know it came with foam pads. Which ones do you think sound the best? The one with the hole, the full one, or none? I can't tell much difference, cept it sounds better with them on.

I'm from canada. Tomorrow me and the gf are going to Fargo, ND for the weekend to shop/relax. Id like to know if any bigger/mega stores sell good headphones in the USA? Perhaps akg (which are extremely rare in canada)? Circuit city or anything? I hear alot of talk about guitar center .. is this...

I thought amps were supposed to bring little coloration. How come my KSC75 sound worse with my xcanv3, than straight from my mp3 player. Too much power for the little guys? I absolutely love the KSC75 through my portable. But with my amp it sounds flabby/toyish .. like it can't keep up...

Provided both of them are using comfies as pads, would they sound the same? Sonic differences?

Do grados need burn in at all? I'v had a bunch of sets but can't decide. My recently aqquired sr80s are COMPLETELY unlistenable. I don't hear music when I listen to them. I hear a loud squeeling noise. The bowls give the squeeling noise a sparkle .. horrah! These are def going back...

Did SR80-225 ever ship with flatts? The guy at the audiophile store said they ALWAYS shipped with bowls. Arguements ensued.

I usually find a flaw that I hate about one of my headphones when I have them, and end up getting rid of them. But then, in a few months, I remember them as amazing. Usually when I rebuy, I remember why I let them go. Headphones make fond memories. I'm gonna go rebuy sr60s tomorrow -_-

When I tap/lightly slap my xcanv3, it makes a little bit of a fizzle noise. Is this normal? Try it.

Payday is coming up. Gonna pick up one of these. Which do you guys prefer? I have senn 580 and hate its lack of bass. I had Sr225's and found them to be limited in what they could do. They could produce detail .. that's about it. I like electronica, and rap .. but also lots of coldplay, and...

Hi there. I run a standard white/red stereo cable from the 2.1 hole in my XFI XM to my Xcanv3. What is a dac? I know its a digital analog converter .. but how can they be thrown into my mix, and help. Can they? Can I spend 200$ here and improve some quality? Do they replace soundcards?

I can't locate that deals thread. I'm wondering where on the internet I can buy HD650 for 300$ on a site that accepts paypal.

I hear these are exact same headphones minus stickers, and a gold plated connector. Anyone disprove this, and claim sonic differences?

I'm thinking 700$ or less. I really love when bass is extended, and heavy. The v3 isnt doing it for me. What amps have a rep of being bassy? (please don't tell me to change my tubes)

I'v got about 30$ sitting in my paypal that needs spending. I'm looking for an online website, that accepts paypal and sells NEW CDS! .. I wanna pick up roxy music or something that will shine with out pesky internet compression! Anyone know a site?

I'm getting one of these tomorrow .. bottom line! Is the xcan worth the 2x price? I have Dt770-250, and Sennhesier HD580 .. I like bass. Please do not reccomend other amps. I don't mind spending the 500$ on the v3, but if its only slightly better than ld2++, ill keep my 200$.

Is there a decent site to buy them online based in north america? I seem to be having trouble finding them. I really like TTJV, I wish they had them

This guy used to be like 350$. What does the 580 do well? We've all heard like 100 times that it needs an amp, and is laid back. What advanteges will it have over 770s? You don't need to know my musical prefs to answer this question

I'v been told that the L3000 sports the best, fullest bass that any closed headphone can offer. If I had that kind of money, id buy a pair. The thing is, I don't. Is there any cheaper headphones with the same sonic characteristics, without all the expensive leather? I'm very new to the whole ATH...

How many of you use your computer/mp3/soundcard as your primary source? Or perhaps you have your system next to your PC, and reppin it from CDs? I find it hard to beleive one would frequent this forum without the combination of surfing/listening at the same time.

I realize you cannot post questions like this in the for sale forum, so ill post it here. Is a DT770-250, and a Grado SR225 WITH FLATS, BOWLS, AND 414pads equal to the value of a used HD650? Would I likely be able to find a trade/sell/buy for this?

When I wear my cx-300s, I can hear myself breathing pretty loud. Is this standard with all IEMs?
