I just found a setting called Adapt Sound on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I was a bit skeptical because it said it would "increase sound quality". The way is works is that you wear your headphones and it plays quiet beeping sounds at various frequencies, one at a time. If you can hear it, you...

I am looking for a pair of headphones no more than $150 and hopefully around 100. I'm somewhat new to headphones; I've never owned hi-fi headphones and right now I only have a pair of UE4000's, but I do want headphones with good sound. I'm looking to step up to a mid-level pair of headphones...

Also, a removable cable is a must. I know I'll end up pulling the cable and having to replace it eventually.

I have an old E-MU 0202 DAC that I use for my computer. It goes up to 24-bit/192khz. I didn't buy this DAC, it was given to me by a family member who no longer needed it. Right now, I'm not incredibly knowledgeable about DACs, and since this device is fairly old, I can't find much information...

I could deal with a seperate mic. And since they will mostly be for home use, open-back headphones would probably be the better option.

I'm looking for an inexpensive (less than $200) pair of headphones to replace my logitech UE4000s. I do care about sound quality, but I don't have the money or equipment for a pair of Hi-Fi headphones. The headphones have to have good sound quality for the price. I also need one with a...

Update: Sony MDR-7506, Sennheiser HD518, Sennheiser HD-280, Creative Aurvana Live! headphones fit my budget. How would those work?

I'm looking for a pair of headphones I can use for both gaming and music listening. Also, I don't have a lot of money to spend, so my budget is below 100$. Anyways, one thing that is important is that I want to be able to be able to hear my surroundings, so noise cancelling is something I don't...

I just have a quick question. I know that upconverting sample rates can reduce in a loss of quality. But do you lose sound quality if you convert down? For example, if I had a CD with a rate of 48 KHz, (rare, I know) would I lose quality if I ripped the CD at 44.1 KHz?

First of all: I wouldn't consider myself as an audiophile due to a lack of inventory, but I can judge good sound. not beats by dre :)   I know it's not the most high-end headphone, but with the DAC and amp that I have, along with playing CD's, on Windows 8 using iTunes, it sounds pretty darn...
