I'm looking for a good recommendation for around-ear headphones (not the ones that press up against the ear or on-ear, I wear glasses and they hurt after a while). I have the Bose AE2 headphones right now, and while they're super comfortable, I'm not entirely satisfied with their performance...

I just got an email from amazon about these headphones. Just wondering if anyone has heard of these, or given them a sample yet. Here's the link

This is loaner #5 (of 6) of my Loaner Program, for the Go-Vibe V6, HeadAmp AE-2, and Xenos 1HA-EPC portable amplifiers. All three amps are very recent and not in the hands of many, so in the interest of pushing more knowledge of them into the forum, 4 people were subjectively selected to review...

Can I get suggestions for affordable ($0-400?) desktop amps for sensitive headphones? (16-32 ohms, 100-110 db SPL, let's say)   So, it must have less than 1 ohm output impedance, must be solid state, must deliver high current, must have low gain, must have RCA input, and the hardest point to...

With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

Intro More than 5 months ago, at the beginning of the summer, I had plans to do a multi-way review of the latest portable amps. 5 amps were going to be included. Amps I ended up tossing out and why: - C&C Box v2, because Headb.com replaced this model with the Box+, and I didn't want to...

5/20/07 - Impressions now over - formal amp review thread to follow later this summer I got this in Friday, started listening today. These are literally initial impressions, I haven't had time or the energy to start a critical listening session. - Disappointed by the lack of precision. The...

Intro Not too long ago, I ordered up another AE-2, on top of the one I'd previously ordered in February this year, for two reasons: (1) I didn't entirely like the first one's gold volume knob, and (2) I didn't like the red LEDs that much either. So when I ordered up the second one, I asked...

First of all, I am not really worried about sound leakage, however I do want headphones that can really block out a decent amount of outside noise. Nice sound quality is obvious, and I'm looking for a pair of phones that have adequate, punchy bass but not too much. Secondly I'm looking for...

Anyone compared these two side by side?  I have both, but don't feel I posess the technical knowledge to do an in depth review.  They both sound very similiar to me, with very similar battery life.  The AE-2 has a better case, but the RX is slimmer & more portable.  I'm not a huge fan of the...

I've done the search thing but found no RECENT remarks/opinions regarding the AE2. So whats the current concensus?

Hi guys, I'm an audio-noob, but I am trying to get into your wonderful world of portable audiophilicity. I have spent hours reading these forums, it's been exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I think I've decided on getting the sflo2 as my source paired with some grado rs-1's, as I...
