Yeah, they're not exactly comfortable anymore but are light enough that even with the two pad strips gone that are just glued on, they're still not the worst things I've owned. Ah, the Denon Dx200 series is back... I remember trying to find a pair but there wasn't a single one of any of them in...

Was just about to order new ear pads again for the good old SRH-1540s when I noticed "You last purchased this item on April 5, 2014." - feels like it was just last year. Huh. I obviously love these things but they're not in the best shape anymore, so I was doing some trawling around trying to...

Pack of Comply small isolation+ tips came today. Yay. For some reason silicone tips and I just don't get along... If only they didn't jack the damn price up on these. *sigh* Each time I listen to the new Encores I want to order a pair of Encore CIEMs even more, and not because the...

Well, the Encore officially blows the absolute pants off of anything I've ever heard... that said, my daily driver at home was a pair of Shure SRH-1540s and the N5W's at work, and so I can't even make a remotely fair comparison to anything. There are no words for how glad I am that I went with...

K.ENCORES ARE HERE. Hold that thought, I'm just gonna step out of existence for a while. Wow, the packaging really got kicked up a notch since my N5s came around a few years ago. EDIT: Wait a minute. There's a pair of the 'old' Savants thrown in the spare container. Wow, I wasn't expecting...

Mmm... Pacific time - guess I'll drop the order in the morning. Looks like I'mma need a new stock of tips, too - any recommendations from anyone with more experience than myself? I've been using medium Comply 'Comfort' tips on the N5s for the last two years just because I could never find any...

Ah, there it is - order for that Encore going in as soon as it hits midnight here! Godspeed, Wizard. Glad to hear business is doing well.

Didnt want to turn this page into more 'help me decide what to buy' spam now. :darthsmile: Have been in the market for an upgrade to the N5 for rock/metal; the open-back cans would probably upset a whole lot of people at work. Odds are I'll dump off an order for an Encore sometime around this...

Man, a lot's changed on the website since I picked up the N5W's a few years ago. Glad to see you guys seem to be crushing it! Just moved up in the world and looking at something nice so I can go into full turtle mode in my cubicle - any opinions on what would be a worthy successor? I remember...

Evening again, everyone! Been a while since I've floated around here. Good to be back. :beerchug: Just graduated with a BS in Computer Engineering and am heading cross country to start at a defense contractor, and I thought it's about time to pick myself up something nice as a bit of a...

...Welp, there went the left ear cup on my beloved SRH-940.  It's like the plastic on these things literally dissolved.  They didn't just fail, they failed catastrophically.  Everywhere.    If you're going to buy something at $300 that you specifically want to last more than one year, don't go...

Mmm... I haven't been ignoring you guys, just drafting a few alternate designs.  I think I'm going to entirely drop USB support for now until I come up with the best way to get something enumerated as an Audio Class device without the need for any custom drivers.   Right now, here's what I...

Evening, gentlemen!   I'm a computer engineering student here at the university, and have recently set out on the mission of making myself a desktop DAC/Amp combo just for the heck of it.  I could list off the design if anyone's interested, but I'll keep it out of this post so things stay...

Yep - that's exactly how I felt.  They're not what I'd call a neutral IEM, but they're also probably one of the most fun-to-listen-to pieces of equipment I've ever heard.  My own pair has a bit of a 4K spike that a few seem to disagree with, and I thought I might end up feeling the same at first...

There are a lot of old country classics I can appreciate, but I just can't bring myself to like anything made in recent years.  There is one song that I do like, I suppose - Fly Over States from Jason Aldean; lyrics aren't half bad, and it's among the small selection of songs being put out that...
