I’m a long time lurker, but don’t post often. I’m hoping you can help me. Sadly my Q40’s are starting to cut out. I’m going to open them up and see if there’s something I can do to save them, but I’m the event I cannot, Id like to get a replacement set of cans. I LOVE the sig of the Q40’s. I’m...

Im looking to build a home audio system primarily for listening to music, but have no idea where to start. Does anyone have a suggestion? Forums similar to this one but home audio? Thanks in advance! Jason

Im sitting here listening to my "flying over oceans" mix through my MBook Pro and I just absolutely love these headphones. "Show Us Your Homes" by Eluvium (an ambient artist whos known for a highly textured wall of sound sort of thing) came on and its just incredible. Lows are where I want...

Just bought that XM4 amp, it seemed like what I wanted, and Im just getting excited...anyone know what it will do to the sound of my SR-80's? Im hoping Ill be able to squeeze a little more bass out of them with it. Ive never had a headphone amp before and dont really know what to expect...

Im here listening to my brand new Grado sr-80's, which are fantastic by the way. Got them for 70 bones from a great shop out here. Now to complete my journey for now...I want to find something with Grado SR-80 sound but with much more powerful, impactful bass? For reference, my Senn...

Are Beyerdynamics DT440's warm/dark/fun? I dont like bright. How is the soundstage? Im not one for "in your head" sound. Keeping in mind I currently use the Senn PX-100 on a plane, will these isolate a little better than the px-100, realizing they are open backed? If no to all, any...

Anyone know of a shop or two in the Chicago area or suburbs where i could go to audition a few different headphones? Ive been to Best Buy, Apple Store, and Guitar Center, is there anywhere else that actually specializes in headphones I could go to? Thanks!

Hello, Ive tried a number of different headphones looking for something that works for me. Ive used a cheapy open sony headphone forever without any issues, except the sound was blah. Awful actually. Being that I use headphones a lot on planes, I wanted to get something a little better with...

I recently picked up some headphones as well as a pair of iems...I bought the iems first and found they make me nauseus, so I bought the headphones. I like both, especially the headphones (I love these), great sound and very comfy. However, I found that after listening for an hour or so, when...

Im new here, and found the site because I was looking for new headphones to listen to my ipod with some isolation on airplane trips. I tried some iems; specifically the Westone UM1 and found that they make me feel nauseus for some reason so I decided to try some headphones and finally settled...

Ok Ive finally figured out how to get at what Im wondering. A lot of reviews will say such and such doesnt have bass, missing bass, more bass, etc etc. BUt I dont know what this is in reference too. So Im getting ready to click the buy button on the UM1's. Ive read they lack bass...but...

Im pretty much settling in on the UM1's. I plan on using the foam tips for travel, but I would like to try other tips; triple flanges, silicone, etc. What other tips will fit on the UM1? edit: found a thread on this. Just to confirm, it seems the shure tips fit on the westones. Is this...

So Im trying to narrow my choices down...I hate headphones with too much treble; they hurt, give me a headache after a few minutes, and end up being unused (the tinnitus in my ears currently is more than enough for me). How can I determine whether or not a particular headphone/earphone (for...

Odd title, but Ive been trolling for awhile trying to get a good read this question of mine. I was hoping you could help. Im leaving on an overseas trip in about a month and decided Id like to treat myself to a nice set of phones to listen to my ipod with. The trouble is Im pretty much a...
