How far do I insert?
Don't push them in far enough that it becomes like it's underwater. I did that once, went too far and then the tip came off the IEM and I had to go to a GP with a very painful bi-flange in my ear for the next hour.- scottie584

Sydney/UNSW Australia Meet
Hey guys, might not be able to make it. For one, I don't usually get home until 6, and then it's another half an hour to an hour to get to UNSW. Plus, my mum doesn't approve of me meeting up with guys I've met on the internet who I barely know Maybe some other time when it's during the day on a...- scottie584

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones
Quote: You're thinking of the mainstream dubstep that everybody and their dog knows about. "True" dubstep is all about the (sub)bassweight. Examples: (Please note that Youtube really screws up the quality of these tracks.)- scottie584

Micro cracks -> cracks -> omg..
Why is it that iDevices get screen cracks much more often than normal touchscreen products? Is it the type of material that they use for screens that is inferior or is it a design flaw that (I assume) can't be fixed without changing how it looks?- scottie584

Phone Fi
Sony Xperia Play. I'm happy with it, completely free from bloatware on the stock rom, awesome with emulators thanks to the gamepad (solid 60fps on Fpse), battery lasts me all day and a pretty fluid UI thanks to 1ghz processor and 210mb of free ram- scottie584

New AKG Headphones "By Tiësto"
Quote: Can you please put what you need to say in one or two posts? It's completely unncessary. Also, Deadmau5 is the most boring artist I've ever listened to. His music doesn't go anywhere, it's like he's just repeating the same 8 bars over and over again with slight variations...- scottie584

Cell Phone Amplification
It's not placebo because it actually does change things around. What things it changes I'm not sure, as I'm not proficient in code or how these things work.- scottie584

Headphone Sightings 2
Ok, I need help identifying a pair here. They looked like Edition 8's, but the part of the cup that is normally shiny was black and the top part of the cup (where the metal extends down) was a bright green. Any ideas? The cups were the exact same shape but the colours have thrown me off here...- scottie584

Are these Beats tours fake.
Not really, real beats may be overpriced but they still sound better than fakes.- scottie584

I have found my HFI-780 to be a bit mid recessed.....should I do a recabling or get a new cans?
Recabling, despite what half of head-fi will tell you, doesn't make an audible and measurable difference. I just use Electri-q equaliser in foobar and I don't feel like I'm losing any dynamics.- scottie584
