Im interested in buying some earbuds to replace my stock apple earpods. I love the sennheiser brand and have been interested in the sennheiser cx 400-ii or cx 475, But what would you say is the best pair in that price range? I can go over $50 but ill be bringing these to school and dont know how...

Im looking for a cheap portable cassette player... Requirements are that it needs to sound decent while still cheap. I know walkmans are good, but i dont have $150 to spend. So what would be the cheapest decent sounding player? Used or new. Wouldnt mind some model numbers and i can go auction...

I bought a pair of panasonic bookshelf speakers the other day for cheap. The sticker on the back says they take 80 watts with a 6 ohm impedance. Im trying to hook these up to a sears lxi record player that has a built in pre amp that uses rca for its output. Only thing is after splicing a rca on...

Love the headphones, But i want to unleash more of its capability with a amp. Whats your reccomendation? Im planning on buying a portable and a regular amp so if i can just buy a beefier amp that can work as both i would be interested in that too. Just to give some examples of stuff im looking...

I just decided to splurge on a pair of Sennheiser HD 558, I heard that its not neccessary to have a amp, But is something you should look into. Ive always heard alot of great things about FiiO Amps Whats the difference between something like a e6 vs a3 and so on... im also guessing the e10k...

Alright thanks, Ill look into monoprice. Never used it before. But it looks like there brand is a bit better then the generic ones, Probably worth the extra dollar or two.

Im wanting to use my headphones with my sound system, only thing is that it requires usb power that my receiver doesn't have. Although i can still connect it, since im not incredibly far from a outlet its a tight fit and puts alot of stress on the jack, usb and headphone cables. Will a cheap...

Does the Kenwood KD-291RC use the same needle and cartriges as the KD-291R? It looks like they share the same manual and im being offered one for cheap. Just want to make sure i can use the needle from the KD-291R since i cant find one for the RC. Whats the difference anyways? And does it have a...

ok thanks, ill probably get the headphones and eventually buy a amp, if im not blown away by the difference of a amp ill just return it or resell it on ebay.

so i just took a looked it up i dont mind either but i guess i may prefer choosing between the 558 and the URBANITE XL just because the 598 are pretty bad looking, btw im 16 so thats a bit more of what a older guy would wear in my opinion. anyways, just by blindly looking through the specs. it...
