UE700s broke! Looking to upgrade
Yeah, it happened. The right driver cut in and out for a few hours, then it finally died. I enjoyed the sound signature and I'm looking mostly for IEMs, but I have no issue with full-sized headphones. So basically, I'm looking for something with a sound signature similar to the UE700, with a...- MisterDeadeye

Ety HF5 or Klipsch X10? (SAME PRICE)
Well, the Klipsch are part of the Gold Box deals, so if you're interested even slightly, I'd jump on them(75% off is crazy).- MisterDeadeye

Quote: Well, I'm willing to go with IEMs, it's just that I've always been disappointed with what I've tried. I haven't gone aftermarket for tips, but I just tried my girlfriend's UE600s again, and with the foam tips, they're fairly comfortable, and surprisingly, didn't fall out. Which...- MisterDeadeye

Buying portable or in-ear headphones? Seeking guidance? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask for advice HERE!
Hey guys, I'm looking for a pair of headphones for use with a tablet. Low impedance, obviously, and portable(small enough to fit in a small compartment in a backpack, or hopefully, in a pocket. My biggest problem so far has been that my ears haven't fit any in-ears or earbuds that I've tried...- MisterDeadeye

Is burn in real?
This isn't an issue of a "belief" one way or the other. It's real, and it's been measured with different types of dynamic drivers several times. Some people just can't possibly believe something that they can't wrap their minds around. There are people who don't believe we're on a sphere...- MisterDeadeye

Headphone Loaner Survey

Good pair of cans under $100.
Quote: I second these. I bought a pair as a Christmas present this year, and I like them for gaming more than my Shure SRH440s. They differently have a different sound, which I didn't like at first(listened to them for a few hours, right out of the box -- no burn in). Eventually...- MisterDeadeye

Quote: Shure SRH440s are very good for the price. They're fairly neutral, while slightly coming off as a little bright without an EQ at the highest volume I listen to(without an amp). While I say they're bright, I don't mean that they are harsh. They're far from harsh, but I feel the...- MisterDeadeye

Okay, I'm looking for a Christmas present for a friend. Budget of less than $100. He listens mostly to hip-hop, but also has plenty of other kinds of music. He wants deep, impactful bass, without feeling bloated and artificial. Sony XB series are out of the question. Open/closed doesn't...- MisterDeadeye

Absolutely Confused, Looking at SRH440,840, AKG K271, ATH M50. Help
Quote: Are the 440s different with an amp? I've had mine for a year or so, and my biggest complaint has always been how bright they tend to be at monitoring volume. I had been planning on buying a pair of Senn HD 600s to diversify my selection, but if the Shures sound better with an...- MisterDeadeye

Looking to buy headphone around 200$. Any suggestion?
www.razordogdeals.com has them for $140, and I think there's a coupon for 25% off. I don't know if it's still going on, but I think the code is "25bones" or something.- MisterDeadeye

Shure Sucks
I've had my Shure SRH440s for over a year and haven't had a single issue. I don't throw them around or anything crazy like that, but I have put a bit of weight on them a couple of times without realizing it.- MisterDeadeye

Buying Senn HD 600s - amp and DAC?
I'm finally ready to spend a considerable amount on a headphone setup. I'm getting Sennheiser HD 600s, so I am in need of an amp and DAC. I want a tuber, so I'm considering the Bottlehead Crack based on other opinions, but I don't know what to do about a DAC. The source will be a laptop, so it...- MisterDeadeye

Just want a good pair of headphones is all...
I can vouch for the Shure SRH440s. I've had my pair for 18 months now, and I've found them to be generally pretty great. I have some Neil Young in my library and all I can say is that they sound great with him. However, I enjoy listening to The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Third Eye Blind, and The...- MisterDeadeye

Laptop USB DAC
I don't care how big the DAC is, and it doesn't need to be portable. The DACPort is most definitely out of my price range right now, as well. I was looking at the NuForce a couple of weeks ago, and it seemed like a decent choice. Does anyone have anything against the uDAC-2? I don't need...- MisterDeadeye
