    Samsung Galaxy Nexus

    The Nexus has been announced and November is just around the corner before shipments and impressions filter in.  From the Webcast, there was talk about the visual elements i.e., screen, UI, but little said about the audio component, which is near and dear to this community.  Haven't seen any...

    Sony Cassette Walkman or Other Suggestions

    I was surprised that Sony still made cassette Walkmans until I read this article.  So I was going through my extensive cassette collection and realized my HTiB cassette deck and portable Panasonic cassette player (RQ-S35V) are no longer working.  I think the oils have dried up.   Anyway, I'm...

    Is it me or does the audio-technica ATH-M50 sound similar to the Ultrasone HFI-780?

    Got a chance to listen to the well regarded HFI-780 phones for EDM paired with the S9, and noticed a number of similarities with the M50--clean mids with punchy bass, treble sparkle, and fast attack and decay. The M50 sounds more balanced than the HFI-780, with the latter having a tad more bass...

    Sony X Series Walkman, COWON S9, Apple iPod touch 2G, SanDisk Sansa Fuze Impressions with the Shure E500 / SE530

    Over the past several weeks, I've been getting acquainted with these players' features and sound signatures. I wanted to share my experience and thoughts on their strengths and weaknesses. A/B testing was with the E500 listening primarily to hip hop, electro, freestyle, euro, trance, R&B, and...

    Hip Hoppers, Breakers - Run-DMC vs. Kool Moe Dee & Special K, NYC Breakers on Graffiti Rock

    Surfing YouTube and came across the 'Graffiti Rock' pilot. Good to see some old school hip hop and breakin'. In the age of reality TV with singing (American / Nationality Idol) and dancing (So You Think You Can Dance, America's Best Dance Crew) shows, I wonder when the 'Soul Train' and 'American...

    PMPs with Dedicated Play/Pause, FF, REW Buttons AND Headphone Jack on the Top/Same Side

    Is the Sony X1000 the only 'audiophile' pmp with dedicated play/pause, ff, rew buttons and the headphone jack on the top/same side of the device? The Samsung P3 and Cowon S9 also intrigue me; however, the former lacks dedicated buttons, while the latter has the headphone jack located on the...

    Any Good SPL Meter Brands/Models That Can Read Below 30 dB?

    I'm looking at picking up an SPL meter as an investment for my ears. A number of Head-Fi'ers have recommended the Radio Shack model, however, its sensitivity only goes down to 50 dB. In terms of applications, I would like the SPL meter to be able to measure headphone output levels, sound...
