Hi guys. I bought the JH16 in 2010 and after 6 years of usage the cable finally died on me. I'm thinking of getting the Null Audio Arete. It has a built-in mic option, which would be useful on my android phone.   I'm kind out of touch with the audiophile scene. Is there any good reason not to...

Recently got the nuforce uDAC2. Everything sounds crystal clear and good.. but Paramore's album sounds muffled? I don't remember it sounding like it had some crappy ipod eq applied.. =(

I'm not new to computers (diy and stuff) but I'm confused about computer audio.   Have a 2 year old X-Fi Extreme gamer, how do I listen to my jh16s from the PC? Should I connect it directly to the back of the soundcard?   I gave my iqube to a good friend who needed them more than I did...

Anyone heard it? Like the first track title, my first reaction was "What". Insane amount of distortion.

Any tips and tricks?   I'm still waiting for my JH16s to arrive. Don't want it to become like my livewires, filled with crap and goo that can't be removed. Used a bent stapler to scrape some out, but it's still lined with flakes of earwax, from 3 years of use. Don't want my new custom to end...

Anyone got it? How does it sound?

Original post a few months ago: Since then, I've sold off the HD650 and iqube(v1) portable amp. Been listening to JH16s from my handphone (galaxy s) and desktop (logitech z5500 headphone out, connected to xfi xtreme gamer)..

Bought it for her bday. 175USD, plus around $18 shipping to Singapore. Total price 300SGD. She didn't like the way it stuck out of her ears, and the around the ear style. I think I'll bring her to the store sometimes to try some tiny earphones like some from audio technica. I'm still using...

I'm gathering a list of quality IEMs for my sister to choose from for her birthday, since the bijous I got for her some time ago, crapped out. This time I want to get something that will last much much longer. Budget around 100-200 USD (150-300SGD). Super fi 3 looks good, what do you guys...

I've bought 3 Crossroads Mylarones since 2007, and 2 of them have crapped on me. One was an 2007 model and the other, 2009. The only thing they have in common is that my sister used them. Is there any IEM <$150, that isolates well, and more importantly, have sturdy stock cables? I suspect...

Bought the game recently, and some of it's mixes with Daft punk, are real nice. (only 128kbps..) Example You can find more on youtube! We Will Robot Rock You

I just heard the virtual barber shop, and it's soooo REAL! Are there anymore stuff like that? I would love to see the looks of people's faces when I ask them to listen to my hd650s.

Indeed!

I'm using the ESW9 with iqube now, it sounds great for electronic and some other types of music, but for rock it just doesn't sound right. I have the livewires, and like the way it sounds with all kinds of music, so I guess I like a neutral sound signature. It's really hard to choose though...

I've been searching for half an hour now, but there isn't a step by step guide to convert flac to alac.. I installed the "ALAC decoding support" but it doesn't add the option to convert flac to alac. Normally I convert flac to mp3s using foobar, but wanted to try some lossless

Hi all, I got the ESW9 recently, and really like the improved soundstage compared to the livewires. (sadly, the isolation is crap compared to livewires IEMS still better for commuting) I use MP3gain to make all my mp3 sound equally loud, and this is true when using the livewires with ipod...

Hi guys, It's been awhile since I've been here, thankyou for all the reviews and threads on the livewires... I have been using them for almost 1.5 years and they still surprise me when I listen to music. I guess it's time for me to try headphones as well and seek your help once again...

Hi guys, currently I'm using the onboard sound and a cheapo surround sound setup. Front speakers: ATP3 Altec Lansing Back speakers: ****ty Sonic gear evo 3 It is decent, but I am looking forward to getting a good 5.1 or 4.1 surround sound system to enhance my...

I use MP3Tag to edit/get tag data from Amazon. Today I found out from MP3Tag that alot of my mp3 files mysteriously changed from MpegI LayerIII to MpegI LayerI, Mpeg 2.5 LayerI or some other dumb permutation. These files cannot be added to iTunes now because they mutated. What's...

If you're like me, there's aways not enough music, so I need some help finding more great stuff to listen to. I like electronic, metal, pop, some R&B, and of course rock. Here's a long list of bands I listen to (in alphabetical order): AC/DC Alient Ant Farm The All-American Rejects...

I figured that after such a long downtime, all the other Livewires threads could be called somewhat old.. so I'll start a new one! Nothing technical here~ I got mine around 2 weeks ago, and it's fantastic. It took me a week to get used to getting them in and out. The isolation is amazing, no...

Some mp3 files wouldn't get added to itunes no matter what I tried, then I found out they used codecs other then "Mpeg 1 Layer III". They play fine in windows media player though. Weird.

I realized that if you browse (high res) photos in thumbnail view, they all show up, but if you manually browse through the collection only low res photos (taken by my phone) show up. However, pressing the middle button seems to start a slide show feature, and all the high res photos that...

I've only started using non-stock earphones (I prefer in-earphones) less then a year ago, and all I can say is that it sounds so much better. I currently own an ipod classic, Audio Technica ATH-CK7, and in a few weeks, the livewires. I've tried (for like 10mins each) the UM1 and UM2, and...
