Wow, nice to see girls on Headfi! You guys are so rare... I have my SR80 upgraded with Headphile's C-Pads and comfort level is improved a lot as it is now circumaural (over the ears). The SR80 sounds less bright, bass is improved, and midrange has more warmth. I prefer the sound of the upgraded...

Hi, I just purchased the AMP ONE that is on clearance sale at audio magus and like several headfiers I am experiencing a low freq hum issue. The hum is at a fixed volume and does not vary with source level or turning up/down the volume control. At the moment it is not very distracting, but...

Anyone heard this tube headphone/speaker amp? How does it compare with other tube amps like Woo? It has good reviews from 6moons... 6moons audio reviews: Glow Audio Amp One http://www.glow-audio.com/home.html Thanks!

I have the UM1 and PK1 combination (in an Altoids can) and I think it is great for travel. The UM1 has superb noise isolation and sounds decent, while the PK1 is IMO the best sounding portable headphone (sound leakage is also low). The only gripe about the PK1 is its high impedance (150 ohm); it...

I have the PK1 but don't use it's cylindrical container. It is tough to insert and remove the earbud from it and it's shape takes up too much space. I'm using an Altoids candy tin to store both the PK1 and my UM1 (for noise isolation, sound quality is a nothing compared to the PK1). This setup...

I saw this offer on bensbargains: http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?i...bid=16311#tabs Looks like a good deal...

The PK1 is really amazing amped! I'm really falling in love with its sound. Surprisingly it has a better sound stage than even my HD580. As mentioned by others, the sound is very layered. It has an almost 3D sound to it and out of the head experience! Add that really punchy (almost subwoofer...

I've listened to the PK1 extensively amped and it is one incredible earbud. I've also listened to the SE530, but maybe not long enought to make a direct comparison. To my ears the SE530 sounded just a little better than the UM1. They sound similar in that they have a very warm and smooth...

I had the same problem with my HD580. The headband snapped cleanly in the middle and it was practically not usable. I contacted the support at Sennheiser USA and RMAed the phones (3 yr warranty). They actually shipped me a brand new set for FREE... You may want to try that, but I heard the 580s...

Just wondering if anyone made comparisons with a modded Sony e888 vs Yuin PK1? The e888 are no longer on the Sony website and I think they are discontinued. They can be bought at extremely low prices nowadays and I happen to acquire a few of them from eBay (authentic by the way). Anyways, I'm...

Yes, they are real. Make sure you buy from best-e-bay-sell though... They ship from China (perhaps from the factory...) and take about 2 weeks to reach here.

best-e-bay-sell e888s are authentic. i was kinda skeptical at first since i bought the first one for 99 cents ($8 shipping)!!! incredible value indeed! how do i know it's original? well i had an original one to compare it with (unless it's fake... heh). it has the same distinct e888 rich, lush...

I got a free moda vibes from the head fest draw. Bass is deep and it has sparkly highs. But, I really didn't like the mids which were too analytical, bordering cold. I didn't find myself enjoying the music at all because of that. Also, it is very uncomfortable and provides very little noise...

Headphone amps do help SQ if done right and I feel low impedance headphones actually benefit more with an amp than high impedance headphones because they are a heavier load to drive (require more current). The technical reason is as follow: - Most portable players have AC coupled outputs...
