Hi. Been inactive on the head-fi forum for a couple of years now, but thought I´d check back here for suggestions on getting a serious in ear headphone (budget not over 5-600$ :) ).   A little history... I had a pair of Ety ER-4P like five years ago, but had to sell them due to low cash...

Hi! I've just bought myself a used Meier Audio Corda HA-1 MKII (220V version - EU) for my AKG K271 Studio cans, and I must say that it kinda disappoints me in the bass region. I had a B-tech cheapo 70$ amp before and it was able to shake my AKGs around abit, but the Corda fails to deliver...

Hi ya folks! Long time no see. Since the last time I was active here on head-fi I have managed to break my BT928 amp. I guess my poor soldering skills got to it at last.. Anyway, now I am on the lookout for a new amp for home use. It needs to be able to work with 220v current since I...

Hi all! I have a soundblaster live 1024 value card in my computer and have been using it as a source for a while now. One day I discovered the AudioHQ-setting "4-speakers" which dramatically improved the sound/soundstage when using headphones through a amp from the front output on my soundcard...

Is it just me? I have a feeling that all the cheap headsets and headphones and the expencive ones have a low impendence.. is this true? thinking of CD-3000 and RS-1 in the expencive part.

Hi! I've had the IHP-120 for a couple of days and have been experimenting on how to get it to sound best with my amp. I've read that with the volume turned way up(to 40) the line out should function as a true line out, so I tried this and connected my amp, and setting the volume on my amp to...

any idea? it's when I load the player up, and windows says it's a ihp-100 too. got the latest firmware. oh, and are there any difference except language between the us/european firmware? thinking of output power etc.

Any opinions?

So, anyone got the SuperMicro from Xin yet? Just wanna hear as much impressions as possible.. how would you compare this amp to a non-portable amp in power and sound quality? I got an e-mail from Xin today saying that my amp is shipped (but I live in Norway so it takes awhile) and that it took...

Hi! Just a quick question. I've had the ER-4P's for about two weeks now and I'm very impressed with them. Today I tried to play a ringtone with my mobile on the desk while pressing the etys in my ear until I heard the ringtone the least, then put on some music. There was not any good sound at...

Bought a set of K271's about a month ago and noticed there was a vibrating sound in the right earcup at really low bass frequencies, so I called the shop where I got the headset and they will ship a completely new set to me tomorrow So now I'll get to hear the real difference (if any..? most...

Just wondered if these babies should be played with alot of bass and slightly above listening level for the first 48 hours or so like full sized headphones? is there any burn in difference? How big a difference is it?

Hi! I have had the AKG K271's for about a month now and ever since I got them I've noticed a rattling sound from the right earcup when playing really deep bass i.e. the beginning of "Massive Attack - Angel" or "A Perfect Circle - Lullaby". The best way I can describe the sound is that it's...

Anyone else tried to set the "speakers" to "2 speakers" in AudioHQ ? I tried this and got a much wider soundstage and IMO much better sound in some cases. However I like to use the "headphone" settings for some songs (like Rock) but I clearly like the improvement in the sound on music like Rap...

This player retails for about 750 $ here in Norway so it will be best for me to order it from the US for about 400 $ + 20-25$ shipping + about 100$ in customs = 520$ (saving approx.230$) or if I'm lucky someone will ship it for me as mail and as a "gift" so that it passes through the customs for...

hmm.. this message was supposed to be a reply to another thread. don't know how it became it's own thread !?! error on the head-fi forum?

yeah! got a mail from fixup today. says the supermicro amp will ship next week, too many orders.. lookin' forward to this

Hi! I have a Sony DVD-player DVP-S715 and was wondering if this is concidered a good cd-playback source in your opinion?

I excpect the AKG K271's arriving in the mail tomorrow and as a headphone newbie I wanted to ask you guys about how to handle these phones in the first period of time. Any tips and suggestions are welcome tnx, Master

Will the Zen NX's output power be limited by the EU laws or will it be 60mW like it says HERE on the european creative sites? Anyone have any ideas? I'm surely not gonna buy it if it comes with a 0.5mW output

I have just found a place in Norway (wasn't easy) where I can get a set of K271's and was wondering how these will sound unamped from my SB Live! card or standar headphone jack out of my compact stereo or my future european Zen NX player? Will it sound bad? I am not looking to spend several...

Which one of these should I buy when my only concideration is size/weight, output power and storage? Keep in mind, I live in Norway and it would help me if anyone knew which one of these models as European models differ from the US models especially concidering output power. I am to...

I am looking for the best headset there is out there that doesn`t cost 700 $ or so. I want a headset who is able to listen to on an airplane or a bus, therefore I want a closed pair of headphones. I want the headset to be comfortable over a long time use and most of all have great sound...
