balanced, detailed iem for $30-50
So I've been out of the quality headphone (iem) game for awhile. I've been basically going through a lot of cheap headphones and want something that will last long and sound better. Basically I'm looking for something that will last a little longer and sound better. The most important things to...- Antony6555

I'm not a huge fan of dell, but my dad has get a special deal on them through his work, so it's my only option. Any recommendations on good dells for gaming? Should I go with the portable or "desktop" processor? I want it to be light enough, battery life isn't as important. I'm considering the...- Antony6555

sound like old-school infected mushroom?
Any bands or albums have a sound like old-school Infected Mushroom (ala Classical Mushroom)? I'm asking because I personally hate infected's new stuff. I also don't like lyrics in my trance. Suggestions (contemporary and old)?- Antony6555

"recommend me" threads
These threads are seriously clogging down portable audio. Is anything being done about this? I know I'm guilty of starting these threads too, but when 1/3 or more of the threads in portable audio are "recommend me" threads at any given time, I think there's a problem. What do members as well as...- Antony6555

favorite fat princess class?
I know this game is old, but I just got it recently and I think it's awesome (despite how easy it is to steal the princess with all the glitches/exploits etc.) Anyway I mostly play team deathmatch and invasion (the very rare times that you get decently filled invasion games) and I think it's...- Antony6555

a question for those who play classical music
Do you find that electrostats or dynamics reproduce stringed instruments more realistically? I'm just wondering because it seems like the two approach the instruments used in classical very differently. I'd have to say dynamics sound more realistic to me, but I don't have a lot of experience...- Antony6555

ck100 cable replacement
Basically, my current cable does not look like it will last too much longer, (it's frayed near the connection to the drivers) and it's always been this iem's weakest point, as it's too light to stay in place over my ear's consistently. Is cable replacement on these an option? Also, I'd...- Antony6555

livewires trips or duals: which is more neutral/accurate?

sensitive iems buzzing with computer
I just bought a pair of ck100. They sound great out of my ipod (no buzzing), but from my computer I get to enjoy all the inner sounds of the computer, which sucks. It seems to me that the cheapest way to resolve this would be to buy a cheap amp (like fiio e5.) What would you guys suggest? I'm...- Antony6555

connecting headphones to ps3?
So basically I want to connect my iems to my ps3. And I believe you can connect headsets through either bluetooth or usb. I bought a usb connector (for computer) but it didn't work.

suggestions for ck100/comply t400 size tips?
Well, I'm planning on getting a ck100, but I'm unsure about tips. I've ordered a pair of comply t400s, but these are mainly for when comfort is more important than sq, because in my experience foam leads to rolled off highs. Are there any tips in this size that you'd recommend that are...- Antony6555

I am posting this thread because I have heard several times that the er-4S is the most revealing iem. However, when I compared it to my lambda pros, there was no comparison.
