My mind is zooming in so many different ways right now. Originally I was thinking about closed headphones, but now I think I have settled on purchasing an iBasso T2 and Super.fi 3's, but I do not know how they sound together. By the way, if you have a better suggestion for an amp and either...

I was going to get the HD280's, but I hear they are not good at all. I am going to get a budget amp (I have another thread about this), perhaps a total Bithead or PA2V2, and already have a ZVM. What closed headphones should I use with this setup? I can not spend any more than 100 dollars, and...

Knowing that I will not get the HD280s. I will most likely make a thread for this question, but what closed headphones should I get to go with a Total Bithead and ZV:M?

I am thinking about purchasing HD280 Pro's. Currently I have Creative EP-630's and HD201's. What kind of an inexpensive amp would go well with the HD280's? The only budget amps I know of are the GoVibe (which are hard to find), the PA2v2, and the Total AirHead.

Where would one acquire this wire? (Ooh! I rhymed!) When using four wires, two go to the right and left audio channels, but the other two go where? Also, where does the third wire in a three wire braid go?

DANGIT! Double post.

First of all, thanks for all the replies; second, has anybody compared the Creative EP630's with the MylarOne X3's? Quote: Originally Posted by giles Have you considered the Sennheiser CX300B? Well, I own some Creative EP630's, and from what I have heard, they are similar in...

When the voting does start, it's going to be a tough choice (for me, at least) between "What to wear today?" and "Pure Natural Sound." They're both just so good!

Forgot to mention that I mainly listen to Techno, a bit of Pop, and soft-ish rock. I know, that's not really a good explanation, but a few artists I like are Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, tobyMac, and Relient K. Hope this helps, and thanks for the suggestions! I didn't even know about MylarOne until...

Hello! I'm pretty new to Head-Fi and I was wondering what would be the best 50-100 dollar IEM to go with a Creative Zen Vision: M. Please note that they will be used mainly in a portable rig. I was thinking maybe the UE Super.Fi 3 Studio, but was wondering what Head-Fi-ers thought. Also, what...

Yeah, I know I could do that, it just wouldn't be near as cool as it being integrated in the dock. By the way, nice little "currency=USD" in the URL. That helped me so much. Have you tried using a slim dock for this LOD? Another question, what happens if you don't put in the resistor?

Dangit! Why did it send my reply twice? Gah!

The headband makes them look beautiful. Those are some great looking cans! Enjoy your 'phones!

If you wanted, you could buy some pads here.

Whatever it is, they look good. Great job!

With it now being all wood, it looks much better than previously. I still think that if you used darker wood that it would look better, but it still looks very fine.

Once again, great guide. I am going to be using Canare Star Quad Microphone Cable. What size Techflex should I get? 1/4? 1/2? What type of heatshrink should I get? 3:1? 2:1? What size? 6 mm? 12 mm? I am at a total loss. Thanks in advance.

Nice pads you got there ! Have you heard these cans with stock pads? Do they sound different? I'm sure you get funny looks if you go out in public with these things.

Those are quite the beautiful Grados. If the wood was just a touch darker, I think it would look even better. More importantly, how do they sound?

I have got to say, even as an anti-iPod person, that is a fine rig! I am curious, though; how did you mod you Etymotic ER4? This is a bit off-topic, but what is the difference between the ER4B, ER4S, and ER4P?
