By the way for all these portable sources is their bluetooth output any different from a regular phone ? I would guess not, cause its all digital

Guys, it has been ages since I wrote anything here. I need an advice from local experts. I have a pretty sophisticated system in my car with Focal speakers etc, because its old and because its almost impossible to do good integration with JL Audio cleansweep in a Porsche I have to use regular...

And i forgot to mention wider soundstage in CKR5IS compared to etymotic. Sorry i have northing else to compare it to. They also win on fit by wide margin and seem to have more durable design.

I don't know if i will add any value for anybody. I just got CKR5IS and I have to say that i've never listened to anything like it. Its the most powerful bass in ie headphones that i ever expereinced. It sounds like over ear actually. However they lack the clarity and detail of etymotic, which...

Aventura "Desperacio"

jokerl, I'm sure others have already asked somethere, but I'm just curious how do you get all these headphones, does anybody sponsor you to do this or you your own money ? Is it sponsored by HeadFi ?

I just looked at IEM list, I had no idea there is one, thanks for letting me know. My understanding that there is no difference in sound between HF5 and ER 6i. Looks like HF5 is really best value for the dollar with retail at $135. I'm glad that I made right decision. Do you think its worth to...

My list   Senn PX90, HD 418 SONY MDR V6, MDR XB700 AT FC700, PRO5HS Ultrasone 15G, DJ1 Philips SWS8000 Pioneer HDJ-1000 AKG 181DJ

So I guess you will be releasing IEM list ? I'm looking forward to that. Is HF5 on the list ? I'm just curious where it would be placed in your ranking. This guy really needs burn in.

Just enjoy the music, don't worry about headphones. I found that obsession about quality of sound has no limits, but after all they exist just to reproduce the music, it is the music itself that is important. I've spent some $3300 on my car sound and I absolutely love it, but because I...

Angelopsaro, I wouldn't say that SHP5401 has similar sound signature to D1001K, the whole reason why D1001K/CAL have such highly praised sound is because of Fostex bio cellulose driver used. The king of dynamic headphones Sony MDR-R10 (worth some 3-4K) also has bio cellulose driver. My...

Based on jokerl list if we look at sound quality only, HD25 and ATH-50 got mark 9. And then CAL, ESW9 and DENON HP700 are the only ones that got 8.5, so really D1001K/CAL is one of the 3 best sounding headphones according to jokerl. According to some people that compared sound quality of ATH-50...

Angelopsaro congrats on your Philips purchase, these headphones are great without question especially for the price. If you ever would like to move up in quality of sound go for Denon AH-D1001. I preferred the Philips SHP5001 as portable until I got the DENON. When I go out for a walk in a...
