Buying portable or in-ear headphones? Seeking guidance? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask for advice HERE!
I'm considering getting an inexpensive (under $200) Bluetooth headset to pair with my Sony Xperia S. The problem is the phone's Bluetooth, which is v2.1 and doesn't support the apt-X codec. Would I lose much SQ-wise because of that? Will the iPod Touch 5th gen. (BT v4, still no apt-X) perform...- cheezburger

Soundcard for mid-fi headphones
Quote: What problems may I encounter while using ZX700 with soundcards? I know about Fiio, but at the moment I can't shop online, I have to buy it locally. Also, I do quite a lot of gaming. I guess I'll get the DG then.- cheezburger

Soundcard for mid-fi headphones
Hi everyone, I'm in need of a PCI soundcard to use with Sony MDR-ZX700 headphones. Currently I've got three variants: ASUS Xonar Essence ST, Xonar D2/PM or Xonar D1. I guess it is pretty clear how they compare to each other, and I can afford the ST, but I'm afraid it (or the D2) might be...- cheezburger

Questions about Sony NWZ-A844
Hello, I have got a sudden opportunity to get a new Sony NWZ-A844 for just $100, which I consider a huge bargain.

I am not a expert on that type of things, but I heard hdtracks.com sells such files, if you define high quality as something like 24bit/96kHz. If you are just searching for usual FLACs and nicely ripped mp3's and other lossy formats, try visiting what.cd and waffles.fm. Those are trackers...- cheezburger

Hello guys, My crappy on-board Realtek HD has started to behave strangely, so I'm looking for a cheap soundcard or USB DAC. I'm not doing any recordings, so there is no need in input or input quality. It is going to be used with Brainwavz B2 IEMs and some entry-fi full-sized headphones for...- cheezburger

I have never bought a CD personally, but some of my friends sometimes buy it because of the mythical substance they call "SOUL". However, they torrent the music before that.- cheezburger

Angelopsaro, as far as I understood (as far as my English lets me understand), clamping force means how strong headphones grasp your head - how strong they press your ears, I mean. Though maybe you are right, I am not sure.- cheezburger
