I don't log into here as much anymore, but every time I lose/break my budget earbuds, I check in here to see what's new. Just wanted to check in to say thanks to the head-fi community in general for putting me onto the Monk Pluses. My fave right now; I rocked a lot of Senn MX500, and these are a...

Just wanted to drop an FYI for everybody who shops on Taobao or Tmall: November 11 is the massive 11.11 sale day on those platforms. At the expense of sounding too press release-y, it is legitimately the world's single largest online shopping 'event'. Just about every vendor slashes prices. Most...

I assume it's better to resurrect this relevant thread than to start a new one. Has anyone seen really faint printing on the PK2 before?   I wouldn't think Yuins would be knocked off either, but I'm suspicious of the more grayish markings on the housing. Seems like every other pic of these...

  A rooted SGS with Voodoo is great; after upgrading my phone, I kept it as a PMP. It's the only smartphone I haven't sold during an upgrade. It is quite flat, to my liking. I usually listen to it with Yuin PK3s or Senn HD25-IIs, no amp. Those combos are really crisp and clear, great...

whoops, sorry for the response lag; I subscribed to the thread, but never got an email notification. I would go for the latest/last from 2012-03-09. I remember liking the difference from the 181 build, but can't recall how that compares to the CM7 stable. The one annoying thing that carried...

Hey, I'm popping in here to say thanks, and hello again, after a several years away from head-fi. A few months ago I found this thread while searching something about smartphones and audio -- pretty psyched, as I have an i9000 international. Voodoo Sound and this DAC are amazing. I also...

more or less seriously, this brings to mind Vice Magazine's writing awards for NYC public school students. http://www.viceland.com/issues/v11n8...s/the_best.php (there's not one asian surname in there, but maybe the new sat is a direct attack on them too )

The portapros get a lot of respect here (try a search), but I'd agree that they're underrated (here) as compared to KSC-35s and KSC-75s. They are really bassy, more so than the clip versions becuase the drivers are pressed against your ears.

pinkie's posting the Smiths lyrics got me thinking about songs that have pushed people toward vegetarianism ... If anybody else has one: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=107342

well, maybe it wasn't that compelling/drastic, but the one song that got me interested and made me investigate more was a punk/hardcore song "No More" from Youth of Today. It was the straight-edge variety of hardcore, and I was already wrapped up into that whole lifestyle and not using alcohol...

another cat-frog? there's more where that came from ... some of these cats look so unhappy: http://www.petoffice.co.jp/catprin/english/

ehh... Looking back, I'm sorry I reacted too strongly to that comment. I've been called dogeater before, and I get overly defensive when the topic even arises.
