So I just got my ER-4p and, as I predicted, both the fomies and triflanges are HUGE. Well, for my ear canals at least. And although I can cram the triflanges quite deep so I don't hear almost anything (great isolation!) they are pretty painful. I guess, foamies could be more comfortable but like...

Yesterday I finally got myself a new DAP (previous has been dead for quite a long time). It's a 3rd gen iPod Nano. Yeah, I know it has far from the best sound quality but, man, the interface and design are awesome. Anyways, i need new earphones for it. Unfortunately I have zero chance to try...

So, I got a Corda Cantate recently (mr. Meier is a really great guy!). I have it plugged in the main output (the 3.5 mm one) of E-MU 0404 USB that I own. But what I'd like to know is, how loud must I make the main output level? Currently have it @ max. For pictures of the 0404 go here - E-MU...

Basically I'm considering one of these systems and I'm a bit stumped. Each one has their own positives and negatives so it's bloody hard to choose. They are: Beyerdynamic DT880 (2005 edition) + Meier Cantate or Stax SRS-3050 What's extremely good about the 1st one is that it's much...

Although it's only been a couple of months with my HD595s (my entry in the world of better headphones), I'm really itching to try something higher-end. Really, when I was considering getting these, I so wanted something (maybe) better (you all are bastards) but the funds didn't allow. But now...

So, the question is - should I get the Meier Arietta? Current system: E-MU 0404 USB ---> Sennheiser HD595 It would be my first dedicated headphone amp and, from what I've read, it seems like quite a nice bang for the buck. But there is one thing - will it actually be quite a deal better...

So, yeh, the title basically says it all - should I get it? Because from what I've read, I think I should. Maybe there are some better options though? Regarding current situation - I have an Audigy 2 ZS and HD595s hooked to it. Will be keeping the Audigy for gaming but since it's way too...

Hey, people! Well, basically this is another "I'm getting my first kinda-real headphones" thread and since I'm quite n00bish at this whole thing, I'm in the need for some advice from more competent human beings. So, here goes: is Sennheiser HD595 really worth the extra money over HD555? I...
