I just bought a pair of X2HRs with the intention of EQing them using Fabfilter ProQ running on Audirvana, so the out-of-the-box frequency response wasn't so important. Took me a few hours to dial in the right EQ settings, using AutoEQ's settings as a starting point. Now they sound wonderful as...

Hi everyone, it's time to replace my Apple earbuds (wired with 3.5mm jack) and I'd like to use the chance to get something with better sound and fit for under $70. Not wireless please, just a basic wired earbud with built-in microphone like the Apple original. Something like the Beyerdynamic...

Some of my recent finds: Bill Evans - I Will Say Goodbye (1977) Matt Ulery - By a Little Light (2012) Joe Henderson - Isfahan (1991) Ahmad Jamal - Aint Necessarily So (1955) Art Farmer - Blame It On My Youth (1988)

  Well, I played every youtube and bandcamp link from the last 50 pages that still worked, and found the following which I have now added to my collection:   Andre Heuvelman - After Silence The Cracow Klezmer Band - De Profundis Eddie Higgins - A Fine Romance Keith Jarrett Trio - Meaning...

Just finished catching up on the last 50 pages, and found a few treasures along the way!

  I had the same issue.

  Well you could create a playlist and then I think you can shuffle that play list.

  Yes, that chart is really off.   The problem isn't technology though, it's the consumer. We've had the technology to download lossless 16/44 files for over 20 years, but consumers chose the convenience of MP3 instead. The mainstream audio market just doesn't care about SQ.

Thanks, but unfortunately that's a 3.5 hour return trip for me. Is there really nowhere in central London?
