To cut down on all the threads (darkest desires, thrash metal, black metal, death metal) I thought we should just used 1 big thread to keep discussion high and not have to search for one thread just to make a post about a death metal band. List of Genres: Death Metal Death Metal...

As a christmas gift to myself I ordered a pair of these. They cost me $94.56 shipped. These are my first pair of full sized 'phones and I can't wait to get them.

Hello fellow head-fi'ers. I was wondering, does anyone have the Lite Audio AM dac? If so, how does it compare to other sub $300 dacs? Thanks for reading

going from ER-4P to Q-jays?

Do you amp it? And if so, how big of an improvement, or difference is there in the sound? I am asking because while reading Germainia's review of the Freqshow, she says an amp makes a huge difference. Thanks for reading

Guys, i need advice. Purely SQ wise for metal music, which would you recommend? I need something for portable use, and the ES-7 look good. Source is zune, music is metal, punk rock, and classic rock. Help

Max $230 doesn't need the most noise isolation, but sound shouldn't leak. Needs to be somewhat small, will be powered by a zune. Main music genres, classic rock, metal, and punk rock Thanks for the help

Ok, I am looking for possibly buying a new set of headphones. I have the ety er-4p, but i really want to try the AT ES-7, many love it, sounds like it has my kind of sound sig. And since i can get it for $107 i think it is a good deal. What i dislike about my ety's is that they dont give my...

mine would have the sound quality of an imod, the built in amp as good as a xin supermicro, or rsa hornet, 3 inch screen, 100+ gb hard drive, pocketable, zune GUI, 7 band customizable EQ, lots of codec support, vid and pics, and 20+ hour battery life. What would yours be? This is only for...

which should it be? I have a maximum spending amount of 300 and it needs more than 30 gigs of memory. I am willing to buy used, and the headphones are ETY ER-4P

I am building a cmoy, but, I want it to be the best cmoy you can make for under 150, and I also need to make a ety er4P->S cable, any suggestions on parts for each. A zune is my source, and I listen to metal of all kinds, and punk rock. I have basic soldering skills, and have had an electronics...

Well, my etymotic ER-4P are in, and even through my horrible sound card, the improvements are great. They bass goes greater, highs are great, and the mids are awesome. Best 200 I have ever spent. But on fit, they are in so the the tri-flanges cannot be seen, is that good?

Etymotic ER-4P, after reading, I decided that their ability to be converted to S, along with their great rep makess them great IEM's. But, coming from JVC Marshmallows, will these have way greater quanity, and way better quality bass, and lively highs?

really need an amp? Would a minibox-d suffice, or maybe a pimeta?

based purely on SQ, which would be best for metal music like suffocation decapitated, exodus, and rock like Social Distortion, Led Zeppelin. They will be used with a Zune

My favorite music is all metal, I will be using them with a zune. If i get the livewires, they will be accompaneid with a go-vibe 6 amp, the UE's would only use the zune. So, suggestions?

can I get any help, this is purely on sound quality, and ease of use. So far I am leaning towards the livewires, but what would you guys do. thanks for the help. I will be using them with a zune, and a C & C XO amp. My favorite music is death and thrash metal

have ER-4p's and a p-s cable, the new porta corda move, and grado sr-225's, or westone 3's and the new porta corda move. Thanks for the help guys.

hey, this summer i will be working, therefore making a lot more money, and i will have around 550 for a pair of headphones and an amp. Since my main music of choice is more of the extreme metals, what would best suit me. I was thinking of maybe grado sr225's, and the porta corda arietta. I like...

Hello all, I am not exactly sure where this would go, but where exactly can I download this, as some of my mp3's need to be converted to a higher bit rate. Oh, and is the software free?

Hello all, this summer, I will be making a portable rig, my first since joining head-fi. I already have a zune, and the music I will be listening to is Metal, hard rock, and some acoustical rock. I am not a basshead, but I like to have a nice amount of bass. All the files will be 192 kb/s-320...

Hello all, I was wondering how much of a difference a headphone amp will make to a zune, coming through it's headphone out. Thank you to all that reply

i am looking at an amp to be used with AT es7's or at a900's. I listen to rock and metal and some acoustic stuff.

I am looking for a good closed headphone for home use, and some portable use. I listen to rock, metal, and some acoustic rock. Other suggestions are welcome, needs to be under $200

I am looking for an amp. I would prefer it to be small, but does not have to be portable. I will be using it with grado sr60's when i purchase them, and audio technica ES7's sometimes. I was looking at the headphonia, but i would like others insight.
