    Review: ER4P long term / Need new IEMs

    Hey everyone!   Its been quite some time since I've been on here, and for the most wholesome of reasons that Head-Fi should be truly proud of...My ER4p's served me really well for almost 5 years!     Over time, I got rid of my HD650s, kept my Grado collection, and have listened and been...

    very interesting! We use washi too, actually (different types used for each part of the entire cone including VC former). I speak almost no japanese, though for this apprenticeship, I have been learning. So all I know now is what your wife told you and then you me. These headphones on...

    yeah, come to think of it they WOULD look a little funny on someone's head... I guess that for the acoustic design though, it is tough to avoid this sort of look... hmm... at the same time, they would also seem to me like phones that might not be affected differently so vastly by people's...

    Hmm... so some people seem to think that they sound good...interesting... Sorry to not search properly prior to putting up a new post. I figured that this would not be a typical phone that would show up here. I might try to track down a pair to listen to. Thing is out here, I don't speak...

    PFRV1 | Personal Field Speaker Headphones | Sony | SonyStyle USA I was doing a little research today about permendur for use in magnetic circutis. At the company I work for, our highest end speaker drivers use all permendur magnetic circuits in a field coil configuration. The sound of all...

    Headphones or Speakers?

    I started out as a complete died in the wool headphone nut, Speakers were for "parties" as I saw it. Later, I came in touch with Cain and Cain, started an apprenticeship, and in many ways never came back from single drivers. I am now in Japan devoting my life to studying the things! So...

    Thanks so much for that review. I owned the 650s for a long time, among several other phones, and I have heard in detail most notable dynamic phones in production as of a few years ago. Needless to say, I grew steadily dissatisfied with all of them, and all their problems. In light of my...

    hey, the stax offerings, especially the lower end stuff just struck me as a good value. It is occuring to me now, actually, that I did not in fact get to listen to the 303. hmm... two headphones to track down, 303 and koss 950. back to "akiba" -Clark

    What I was trying to get at there was the music concepts, not products, so thanks so much for picking up on my concept (that I wanted mo betta 404 style sound). And recommending for me to listen further...that is the greatest gift, of understanding. So thank you. Koss 950... still available...

    Agreed... Everything you say, I will certainly grant. The O2 is a highly refined sound, and I do not knock it for what it is for a second. stunning... I did hear them (404, O2, 202, 303) in comparison during a relatively short duration, yesterday. Previously, I have spent a fair amount...
