    Headphones around $50; HT-21 vs HA-M750 vs XB500

    I'm pretty happy with my M750s, kept my ears warm during the winter anyways! They certainly lean on the bass heavy side, probably too much bass for audiophiles but dammit it's addictive! I've used them most days for the last year, and they've taken a beating. I've had to repair them twice. The...

    Audio-Technica CK10 Appreciation Thread

      Quote: Sorry for not replying sooner, I've been pretty busy lately.   I know I said I was going to put up an extensive review but I haven't had time really. Basically the M90s are pretty good but I never use them. They obviously don't sound as good as CK10s, there's less mids...

    Audio-Technica CK10 Appreciation Thread

    Yeah I really don't expect them to sound as good, I just hope they aren't that bad.   I'm not a believer in reshelling myself, I don't see the merit really. If you want customs, pay for them to be done right.   As for the post, that's the picture I've seen before of them opened. I think...

    Audio-Technica CK10 Appreciation Thread

    Bit of a saga;   So maybe three months ago I started having trouble with my CK10s. I bought them off a fellow head-fier (music_4321, who has been nothing but helpful throughout all our correspondence) last February. Naturally I absolutely loved them, they got hours of use every day for...

    2.1 Speakers for Bedroom (£20ish to $40ish) - Help!

    2.1 Speakers for Bedroom (£20ish to $40ish) - Help!

    For $40 a 2.1 system will likely give you bloated and imbalanced bass, where as you could spend the extra money on nicer 2.0 speakers and just crank them a little. If as you say it's for your bedroom and assuming your bedroom isn't too big in my opinion that'd be the better route to go.

    2.1 Speakers for Bedroom (£20ish to $40ish) - Help!

    I reckon if you're going low budget, you will probably get better value out of a decent 2.0 system than a $40 2.1 system

    Favorite Test tracks/songs??

    Aphex Twin - Ageispolis is one I go back to again and again for it's spaced out high end and punishing bass tones Radiohead, mostly though because I know it all fairly inside out so it's easy to judge the subtleties. Their varied sound and the high production values of the last few albums...

    Ringing of the ears.

    The worst culprit for me is clubs. I usually come out with one ear way worse than the other, and I could never figure out why, then I realized it was talking to people that usually did the worst damage.Trying to hold a conversation in really load clubs means leaning in and shouting in each...

    tweezers

    This happened to me often enough with my Klipsch Custom 2s. I knew it could happen and was always careful enough when removing them, but then like yourself I bumped into someone I knew and yanked them out to talk, leaving the tips behind. I didn't mind so much at first until I asked the...

    Parental issues with the high end headphones?

    My first IEMs were E2cs, which I asked for for my birthday, since they started me off, they can't complain since! Also I've had a job for ages, so once they stopped giving me pocket money or anything, that was it for any input they had on what I spent my money on!

    Shootout: 114 Portable Headphones Reviewed (Xiaomi Mi Headphones added 04/21/2015)

    I'd like to put in a quick request for Sony MDR-V150s, just out of curiosity's sake, since 9 out of 10 pairs of 'phones I see around college are these or Sennheiser HD20-(who cares which, they're all horrible) Purty please
