    Custom IEM Recommendations

    I'll keep it short and sweet. In the past, out of all of the IEMs I've owned, the ones I liked the best were the TF10 and the JH16 (v1). This was obviously a while back, and I haven't kept up with all of the new models over the years. What are the best choices for CIEMs these days for someone...

    Selling my like new Sennheiser HD800S. Purchased in November of last year, but rarely used. It’s absolutely great and lives up to the hype but I’m about to travel the world and would rather have the money for the trip. It has barely been used and always kept clean. Not a scratch on it. Ships in...

    [Comparison Review] ATH-A900X & AKG K550

    Well, I got the K550's a couple of days ago and let them burn in. They sound pretty good :)   There's just one problem - the clamping force. Yeah they're comfortable, but why would they design them this way when they're so sensitive about getting a seal? The sound suffers too much because of...

    monoprice v augioquest and other "audiophile usb cables

    Quote:   In practice, the buffer has to be perfect for the USB transmission to function. USB sends the data 1 bit at a time. If each sample is 16 bits, and there are several samples in each packet, what is the DAC going to do with each bit on its own while the rest is still being...

    monoprice v augioquest and other "audiophile usb cables

    Quote:   Actually, no, it's in the form of a square wave. All digital signals are.   And the USB interface does not care what kind of data you're sending. Does your internet change speeds depending on if you're downloading a movie vs downloading a program? Didn't think so.   As...

    [Comparison Review] ATH-A900X & AKG K550

    Quote:   I wish I had them, I would love to do a comparison. Unfortunately I don't own anything that would make for a good A/B test. I mean, it's kind of pointless to put these up against HD800's or JH-16's. I'll definitely post my opinions when they arrive though :)   The problem is...

    [Comparison Review] ATH-A900X & AKG K550

    Great review!   I actually just went through the exact same decision and ordered a K550 last night. I couldn't make heads or tails of how the two headphones compared (it and the A900X) because not only did people's opinions vary, but their entire perception of the headphones did too. It had...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    Quote:   It was on amazon two years ago, sometime around November I think. I already had a pair but at that price I just had to buy another, lol.

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    - My cousin had bought a pair of Bose NC headphones ($300) and was raving about them. I let him listen to my Triple Fi's ($75). He just sat there with a stupid look on his face, mumbling something about how it's been more than 30 days...   - A friend was about to buy a pair of Beats Studios...
