I wanted to purchase the Shure SE846 since the time it was launched. I was on Shure E3C (a really old, but really good pair). Last year, I finally purchased the SE846. I was somehow underwhelmed by the sound on the SE846. They're good, but not great. Maybe it's because the source is iPhone and...

I'm upgrading from my trusty 8 year old Sonic Gear Evo7, to a more refined sound. I'm not a basshead, but I do like deep extended bass sounds.   I sit about 1.5 feet from my monitor, and am considering the following options:   M-Audio BX5 ($275) M-Audio AV40 ($170) Audioengine A2+ ($270)...

Generally Head-Fi is my go-to place for any headphone and IEM query, surprisingly didn't have much info about Audio Technica's budget line ATH-WS55, ATH-SJ33. Digging up on the internet, I found these:  ...

I kind of already knew this was happening, but came across this article which explains it in detail:   So this is how big publishers like Rockstar Games manipulate their review scores. The studio's bonuses are also judged by the overall score on Metacritic.   An interesting read:   Link

So I just got the external Asus Xonar U7 DAC.   I know this thing drives headphones, but how will they perform if I get good speakers and drive them through the U7.   Also, internally I have the Xonar DX. Which would better drive speakers, the DX or the U7.

Hey all     I am considering the Yahama NS 333 speakers. Getting them for about $300 here in India.   Now, I will be converting the Yamaha cable from the two left and right speakers to RCA, and will connect them to my SoncGear sub-wooder Left and Right inputs. The out from my...

Hi there!   I want to upgrade my desktop rig. In the last 2 years (yes I know its long) I've managed to squeeze in enough to get myself a top-notch IEM and ICE (with great help from Head-fi, ofcourse), and now is the turn of my desktop. I've mustered up enough cash to allow me to do this...

I recently received my RE262s and I wont say I am totally impressed with them. Having upgraded from shure E3Cs, the RE262s actually sound very very similar to the E3Cs.   I dont know why this is, but maybe the double flanges dont suit me. They dont give me a good seal and I always find...

OK, I know that Head-Fi is the ultimate absolute Audiophile community offering as much information as one could possibly imagine. I have been reading around this website for a couple of years now and use it for all my IEM knowledge.   This site offers any information one wants when it comes...

I have a friend who is from NY, working here in New Delhi and is going back to NY for 2 weeks. The IEM market here in India is limited, and expensive, since most of the products are total imports, thus the excise duty tax. I want my friend to bring me a pair of good IEMs (I'm currently using...

Hey I wanna buy speakers which I can use with my laptop. My main usage is music and playing games. I had some options, just tell me which one is the best: Creative Gigaworks HD50 Creative Gigaworks T40 Creative Gigaworks T20 I want the best quality when I listen to music, I'm not...

Which is better.....

Hey Just got the Shure E3c....its been difficult getting used to them since I was using Sennheiser CX300 for the past 2 years.....they really lack the bass. Ive heard the trick to E3C is the equalizer setting....does anyone know them?...or can anyone help out? Plus, I'm looking for a new...

Hey I'm currently using Sennheiser CX300. Want to upgrade. I listen to mostly classic rock like The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppellin. Progressive rock like Pain of Salvation, Dreamtheatre etc. Maybe a little country music and also a little hip hop. I'm getting the Shure e3c for...

Hey I purchased an Archos 504 80GB 3 months back (for an unbelievable price $200). The player is nice, but music management isnt that great. It doesnt list Album Artist wise, and thus I get millions of artists which makes it really irritating to browse. Plus it big. Although it supports...

I am looking for a sound solution for my Asus A8Js. It already has Realtek High Defination installed. I want something which can improve my music listening experience and gaming experience with my earphones. What do you suggest?

Ok I wanna buy new earphones. I dont mind paying for the e3c but only if its worth, and I mean ONLY IF ITS WORTH. Its not that I got cash to spare, if its worth and will likely improve my music listening experience, then I would go for it. If should I just stick to buying CX 30 or if not...

Remember those earphones you get with the Sony Ericsson W800i phone? They are the HPM-70. They are in-ear phones and I have been listening on them since the last 2 years. I found them pretty decent. I planning to upgrade. How do they stack up against the Sennheiser CX-300. I hope they are...
