    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    Not to snark or troll, but does any manufacture of a smartphone really have audiophiles in mind when designing what is essentially a mini computer as its main function with communications as secondary? I get that there is some effort put in to MP3 music capabilities in to the device's...

    Audio Technica AT-PHA10 Portable Headphone Amplifier

    Sorry to revive an old thread. I bought one last month at e-Earphones in akihabara. As far as I'm concerned, it's pretty much junk and am amazed that A-T attached their name to them. I bought it to kept boost a pair of ATH-ESW9 over the sounds of busy Tokyo Streets. It can barely drive them. So...

    Bose Sues Beats for Patent Infringement

    But somehow I suspect Bose is not during Beats because they use or have ANC technology as so much as for the way Beats is accomplishing it. I'm sure there are plenty of ANC headphones that do not accomplish the task in the same manner as the Bose. You can have the finished outcome trough...

      Got a cat right here, but his ears don't appear to be removable and I'm sure he wouldn't care to lose them.

    I just don't care all that much for the sound from open headphones, tried quite a few wasn't really in to any of them.

    「Official」Asian Anime, Manga, and Music Lounge

      Lain was a rather revolutionary series when released. It was also Yo****oshi ABe first anime if I recall. At the time of its released, the commercial internet was still brand new, 90% of the 10% of Americans who had net access still accessed it through AOL or Compuserve. for the most part. I...

    The never-advertised, always coveted headphones built and sold in Brooklyn

    Since, I don't care for open back cans, I've never given much considering to buying them before, but the story is pretty interesting.

    The never-advertised, always coveted headphones built and sold in Brooklyn

    Don't know if anyone on here reads Ars Technica much, but they just dropped a decent size article on Grado. I think most on here know most of Grado, but there may be a few n00bs. Maybe some new stuff the vets don't know too. I found it a good read.  ...

    (It Seems That) The iPhone 6 Will Have A Headphone Jack

      For that kind of money, Apple could have probably have purchased Bose. While Beats is the "hip" trend right now with a particular demographic, one would assume that the patten portfolio of Bose would be a better fit that Beat's street cred. And while, I know that audiophiles do not care for...

    I always wanted to create my own anime based on the video Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys. But, know how they are, I doubt even if I could afford it, the two remaining Beasties would never go for it. The closet Ive seen anything I liked along my idea has been Intergalactic 5555, and Kacho Oji...
