Hey guys! Just looking for a quick recommendation for starting out.   I'm looking for something around $50. Also, these headphones will only be used at home. My library consists mainly of rips at 320kbps, and a few FLAC's.   Sound quality's the most important (I don't know how much...

Anyone have recommendations for a game under $5 on Steam? Was thinking of CS. If it's anything that has a fun multiplayer part, you win my soul and guts. EDIT: If it has an active community, you can have my body as well.

Complete n00b here, trying to get into this whole headphone thing. My budget's $100. So that means, either headphones under $100, OR headphones+portable amp (I'm guessing E6 is the only one that would fit my budget?) under $100.   So, I know that you hear magical things when you listen to...

Hey there, I'm kinda new here and I'm pretty new to this whole hi-fi thing too.   Right now, all I have are the stock iBuds, and these (Sony MDR ZX300). I'm trying to get into this whole hi-fi thing, and it was a suggestion that I buy the Koss PRO DJ100's, and a FiiO E6.   Of course, I'm...

I'm a n00b here too, and I don't know much about headphones/amps/earphones... but, are you sure it wasn't counterfeit? http://www.head-fi.org/t/616077/dont-buy-any-fiio-product-from-sainstore-on-amazon-and-how-to-distinguish-a-genuine-fiio-e6-from-a-fake-one

Quote: Yep, there are Best Buy's here in Canada. However, I usually see Sony's/Beats up for demo, and those blue Sennheisers, the adidas ones. I'll head over one day and actually demo them out, and I'm guessing I can get a better deal elsewhere (not from Best Buy)?

Not really buying any new headphones or earphones, but possibly a new amp. I just have a small question as it's related to portable headphones, and it probably wouldn't make a lot of discussion so I didn't want to create a seperate thread for it.   I currently own these: Sony MDR ZX300. I...

SNES ftw. I still have my original console (still functioning), but my mother threw out the box with *most* of our games. I'm left with DKC and DKC2. Two games that I've finished multiple times. I remember playing Earthworm Jim. I loved that game. I'd love to go back and buy all of the games...

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, 10/10. I was tempted to try this one out due to this one guy spamming my facebook feed with a bunch of Phoenix Wright related stuff. I'm still not done the game atm, but for once, I think I'll be able to play through an entire game without taking a long break in...

Quote: Thanks a lot! My first post was actually to the recommendations thread, but since I received no replies, this is heavily appreciated! Since it's below my budget, would buying an amp for these headphones make an even more noticeable difference, or would it not be worth it?

I thought $500 on headphones were pretty expensive (considering I haven't spent more than $30 on them). I know he had an amp, but once again, I didn't get into too many details, as this was all new to me. Even while listening to them alone off of my laptop, I could hear a difference.

I went to visit my cousin this weekend, and he let me try on his HD 650's. (NOTE: I've been using iPod earphones/$20 Sony headphones for the longest time).   My mind was blown. I was hearing sounds in my music which I had never heard before. He told me he got them for $500 and I died. Then...

I'm kinda new to head-fi and this whole audio stuff, so I'd like your help. :) -complete n00b right here-   My only exposure to this HQ headphone stuff was through my cousin's HD 650's. I was blown away by the detail I was hearing, obviously, because I had only used iPod earphones. Of...
