    Beyerdynamic LEATHER PADS now AVAILABLE

    This is awesome... I had been thinking about getting a pair of DT770s, but I'm not a fan of the silver velour. Does anyone know if the black gen. leather pads have that "purplish" color that I've noticed on the black velour pads? Can someone post pics?

    My 13-year old wants a cell phone. Help

    At 13, your kid does NOT need a cell phone. Nonetheless, if you really want to get her one, get a pay as you go phone and tell her that if she wants to use it, she will have to pay for her own calls and her own texts. Maybe you put $10 into it each month, but that's it. My theory is that if your...

    New audiophile... got his cans!

    I'm seriously looking at bypassing the HD280s and going right to a set of DT770s as my first set of quality headphones. What sort of music do you listen to? Would you recommend them to anyone else looking at doing a hefty upgrade (my current headphones are PMX60s)?

    Missing songs after iPod sync

    I used to have a similar problem with iTunes, but rather than go missing on my iPod, the songs went missing from my computer, meaning the file path seemed to "break". I solved it by "consolidating my library" every so often... perhaps you could try this?

    audiologist - Ear impression in Sweden

    Any audiologist should be able to do this for you - it's a 10 minute process they do when someone needs a hearing aid.

    looking for 100$ (or less) MP3 player

    If you're looking at a Sandisk player, the Sansa e260 has 4GB, microSD slot, and works with Rockbox. I just got mine during yesterday's Wootoff, but I saw them on ebay for around 90 bucks.

    I...have...tinnitus?

    I would recommend seeing an audiologist immediately, especially if you're wearing IEMs. My audiologist has informed me that studies have shown that earbuds and similar devices are worse for your hearing than regular headphones since they direct sound right into your ear canal. Whether this is...

    Putting FLAC on a Creative Zen Vison M

    Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to play FLAC audio from a Creative Zen Vision M. I'd really like one, but there's no way I'm going to go out and get a set of quality headphones and then play sub-quality audio through them. I tried Google, but Google didn't know...

    looking for a gift for someone

    I've got a pair of Senn PMX60s - $30 and they sound pretty good. They'd be good if she prefers the "behind the head" style of headphones.

    Looking for some entry level headphones...

    Hi everyone, After much aural suffering, I've decided to take a step into higher quality audio. I'm looking for some advice on a reasonably nice set of headphones, mostly for portable music (not so much gaming), preferably ones that don't NEED an amp, but will sound better with one later...
