Hello all, while I am currently enjoying my newbie head-fi life, a friend of mine has asked me if I could recommend him a canalphone or an earbud, that he can use outside. Now, this guy has used koss PortaPro's for quite a while, and he realized that headphones are too annoying to be used on...

Hi, Head-Fi'ers, I'm considering buying a pair of used SR-225s for about 150 or lower, and I'm wondering if they are good for electronica. They don't necessarily have to be "great", because I also listen to a bunch of other stuff. W/E, the question today is are SR-225's good for...

I'm getting into this kind of question these days..... So all you headexperts out there....Answer me please! My question is this. I'm talking about CDP's. Isn't it quite true that CDP's all use quite the same materials? I'm curious about this especially because I heard that spending...

Seems like I have to choose between MS-1's and SA1K's? My taste is that I care more about the highs, bass would be just fine if it is tight and enough to support the mids and highs. I'd prefer a wide soundstage... The genre I listen to the most is rock (Nirvana, AC/DC) and...

Ok, I'm trying to make my first purchase and I'm being really fussy about it. I'm considering the 1K's because someone has told me that they would fit my taste... But now I'm trying to know what you would buy at this price range. Don't consider my taste, because I'm trying to make a...

LOL, This doesn't feel like being on MY thread.

Oh, btw, Jacques Chirac is dead now. He's done nothing nice for the French recently.

Ok so I live in Paris and I was watching the TV and heard that 2012 Olympic games will be held in London.... Even though I'm not French the reason that i'm being sad is that Paris spent so much money to win. If you've come to France recently, you know what I mean. The flags saying "PARIS2012"...
