Got an idea here.   Let me know if I am going about this the wrong way here.....my first attempt at this.     I want a portable iPod DAC. Seems there is only one made so far, and its around $700 bucks. That, my fine folks, is a bit too expensive for my taste.      So that got me...

  Found this at Walmart in the bananas. Its a banana holder.        Turns out it makes an awesome headphone holder!       It was only $3.50 something after tax. 

  Found these at a thrift today. I picked em up because they said Ford on them, and they were only a buck.  Got home, and took em apart and low and behold....same driver as the Koss Porta-Pros! They sound pretty good so far. More pics to come.... __________________

The old Creative X-Fi in my computer was starting to fail so I used it as an excuse to get a stand alone DAC that can double as a headphone amp.    So I ordered the Aune X1.   It arrived in one week from China to Florida. Packed well. First thing I noticed was the cheezy power adapter...

I have some Grado 325I's, and love how they sound with the music I listen to(Heavy and progressive metal). What IEM's would compare to the quality and signature? Right now I am using CX-300's but they have a very "canned" sound. I have tried Shures and Superfi 5's , and hated both of them. I...

Well after my initial suprise with the KSC75's, I was happy with them for about a week. Then the what if bug hit me and I went and bought some brand new 325i's. Can't wait for them to arrive.......what should i expect? Damn you head fi.........my wallet hates you.....or loves you how ever you...

Ok heres the deal. I love the sound of my KSC75's, but the are not refined enough for home listening. My HD580's don't do well on the heavy metal I listen to alot. What would be a good can to listen to heavy metal to at home that sounds like the KSC75 but more refined, has a soundstage, and is...

I just picked up my KSC-75's from the mailbox.......and all I have to say is wow. After reading all the good things said about these little things i had to try them out. Good god these things sound good....and for about 10 bucks these have to be the best $$/performance ratio phones out...

I have a Rio Karma that i have had for a few years, but the screen recently died. Does anyone know where i can get it repaired or just buy a new screen? Rio went out of business and will only sell you a refurb for $130. i want to keep mine, not chance getting a refurb that will just lock up on...

I love my Ipod....but hate the fact that there isnt a user EQ in the OS. Ive been reading up on these alternate OS's, and see that there is a few out there that has a user defined EQ....i have a 5G 60 gig btw... Anyone use an alt OS for an ipod? Looking for opinions on the one to use...right...

I ran up to Seoul in Korea today and to my enjoyment they have a heaphone shop there. Had about everything you can think of on a wall to try out. Spent about 3 hours trying different headphones, and found one that seems that it isn't well known....and they rock. AKG324P.......they have the...

Just recieved my E4c's.....and they sound like crap to me. been thru all the earpieces and am sure im getting a good seal on them...using the foamies as i type this. Bass is there, and i can hear every note....sounds very percise, but its hardly there.....needs more. mids stick out too much i...

I have a 60GB Ipod, K81DJ's, Shure E4C's, PX-100's and 200's, CX300's, and plan on buying some higher quality stuff as money allows. I need a portable amp that will do good with what I have, and allow room for improvement down the road. Something that is a best bang for the buck deal. The Ipod...

Right now I just use WMP to rip my Mp3's at 320 VBR, and im wondering whats the better way to do it? I've tried Itunes to rip to AAC, dont like it. Used Winamp, Musicmatch, Nero, and a few others too.....Musicmatch seems to have the best quality out of these, but it takes god awful long to rip...

hello.......im very new to this whole audiophile headphone ordeal.....and have a few questions for the pros...story first tho... i recently bought an ipod, and immediatly noticed what crap the stock buds were. so i bought some cheap sonys to get me by at the time, but still hungered for more...
