I got a pair of free Powerbeats last year and promptly replaced their terrible eartips with a leftover pair from my MEElectronics Sport Fi S6, which worked OK. However, this week one of the tips came off in transit and I can't find it anywhere. I ordered some Shure eartips to try and replace...

  The JBLs are magnetically shielded, fortunately :)   Thanks for the suggestion - do you have any recommendation for a unit that also has remote volume controls?

  It's pretty shocking, there isn't any sort of audio output on this model at all (model ln40e550f7fxza, if you want to stay clear of it...)    I could go out of the amp via the headphone jack on the receiver, but I guess it feels silly to be spending upwards of $400 to not be able to use the...

Hi everyone,   Spent the last several hours trying to figure out a solution to this problem, and it seems increasingly like there's no practical solution. Here it is:   I purchased some LSR308 speakers as a "gift" to my apartment, with the idea to connect them to our Samsung TV that has...

So is the reason some folks go for the USB upgrade simply so they can do 24/196?

Hi guys,   Hopefully someone can quickly answer this. I'm thinking of getting a Bifrost Uber as my first foray in the world of DACs and I'm not sure why the additional USB upgrade would be useful. I'm using a MacBook Pro, so I'm thinking I could just connect via the optical output in the...

Hey there,   Full story below, but if you want to just get to the point read the bolded sentence:   So for the past two years I've been using some Bose MediaMate speakers I serendipitously found in the back of a cabinet when I moved to Boston. Yeah, like the seriously ancient first...

I've also looked into the Sennheiser MX and PMX series headphones, which seem like they might satisfy my requirements for comfort and stability but I'm wondering if anyone can attest to their sound quality?   

Hi guys,   I've gone through so many IEMs for the gym that I just can't really take it anymore. They generally either are always falling out or quickly fatigue my ears in the gym (normally turn them up to drown out noise of treadmill and what-not). Granted, my IEMs are not at all quality, I...

Logitech USB Desktop Microphone - microphone I mean unless youre recording music I really dont think you need to worry about a mic. Just get whatever usb mic from logitech or another reputable computer company for as cheap as possible.

I can't speak from personal experience, but I've heard the SRH840 runs well unamped. Unless you do some hardcore deal searching though, it might be tough to get them less than 199.99 outside of the USA, but it's worth a try! If you order them from headphone solutions you could also get the...

Bahhh I decided this weekend I would buy these from NSL for their RIDICULOUS low price of 116.85$ but by the time I did it today it's backordered till the END of October. Oh well, I can wait I suppose... I can use the money I saved to maybe build the Starving Student amp ... I wantz...
