Love my FiiO I5 but they're a bit heavy, tangly and don't isolate well for gym use. Must have volume control. Budget under $50. Going to be running them from a Hidiz Sonata II so can drive mostly anything!

Currently using KZ ZSA and the upgraded bluetooth cable and it's a bit piercing, leaving a lot to be desired. Also the upgrade cable had to be modified to fit the ZSA. Looking for a one IEM to do it all solution that could be used both wirelessly and wired. Considering: IEMs Ibasso IT01 $99 -...

Love the sound and the relatively high sensitivity of the KZ-ATE S, allowing it to be driven to loud volumes by my phone (Pixel XL or Nokia N7 plus). Also love the price. But its wires are made out of glue, tangling very easily. Any options out there that are highly tangle resistant and sound...

Mic needn't be good, I just need to be able to change tracks on android. Not bothered by microphonics, my current Panasonic RP-HJE125 are fine. Mostly for thumping electronic music :ksc75smile: Plus if they're somewhat tangle free. Real hard to find what's good among thousands of fake reviews...

Wondering if anyone have tested the aformentioned, have the M40x and uDAC-2 - wondering if im missing out :)

My current system consists of the M40x and Klipsch Promedia 2.1, I need a DAC/AMP to connect to both of these. My use is a combination of enjoying music, mostly electronic spanning from ambient to techno, and mixing/music production in Ableton where a flat frequency response and high resolution...

Just wondering if anyone has experience with this, looking for a potential upgrade in the sub $200 range.   I was listening to Bjork's Pagan Poetry and cranked it all the way to max to feel Bjork really yelling into my ears, it almost worked but not quite.. hehe

I've had a few headphones, mostly driven by my UDAC 2, but have also played around with various Chinese amps, from the top of my head: AKG 700 - Great soundstage, but too lacking in bass. Denon D2000 - Overall great, but a bit cumbersome and not the best value for money. Sennheiser HD600 -...

  There are several threads concerning sound quality of various IEMs, but not that many regarding the sound quality of their in-line microphones - which for some can be equally or even more important.   Do you have any experience with different IEMs and their microphones? Preferably in...

I currently have the 0404, good DAC, good for recording etc, but its headphone amp is underpowered. Any ideas how the sparrow or FUN will perform in comparison to the 0404 and the Earthed ZERO?  

So, both the Yuin and the Nuforce getting rave reviews, being crowned as budget have't-heard-anything-better-under-150usd champions, which one do you ultimately find most enjoyable to listen to? And why? Seems like both are great phones and that it'll be a matter of preference, as they appear...

Hi, I got a refurbished Ipod Video 80GB, but with only 32mb ram, i.e. the 5gen motherboard. All the ebay listings I find fail to specify this, help?

UPDATE ----------------------- Installed the old 2003 M-audio drivers/control panel, and It now works like a charm, no noise, good sound on my easily driven in-ears and no lockin up. Better stop that auction... Now, I only wonder how the Edirol UA-1EX perform compared to the transit. hirr...

I need a mp3 player, and I need: - line-in wav recording - plug n play connectivity (no ****** itunes etc) - great sound quality (will be used with pimeta/hd600) - min 2GB storage space And as always, price is important.

Need a good sub $200 amp for both portable and as a primary headphone amp.What do you think? Currently I own a Cmoy with the OPA2227, no buffers and 1000uF caps, I can't said I'm not happy with it, but you know the drill And are there any other value options in this pricerange?

-minimum 1GB prefferably 4GB+ -high quality sound recording (line-in) -sound that compliments my cans and amp. i.e. sounds great -plug and play "harddrive" functionality price is a deciding factor, the Rio Carbon would be ideal, if it just had line-in I basically need a portable...

LALALA READ OTHER POSTS FOUND SOLLUTION When I run ctrun.exe it can't find my EMU 0404, altough windows detects it just fine. So I have to manually install drivers through device manager, wich works. But then when I try to -update- the firmware/drivers, it says it can't find my (now...

Is there any clever way of shielding your cheapo signal cables? A mini-jack to mini-jack for example. Could it be a good idea to shield the EMU connector cable(s)? Just wrap some conductive foil around them and couple it to ground (computer chassis)? I guess the powersupply and the powercord...

Soo, what cheap amp could I get for my HD600 to get better sound than from my dmx6fires lineout at 0db? The left drive on my HD600 seems to be damaged and is fuzzy on some bass frequencies, so might I be better of by buying a low ohm headphone and scrap my HD600? I guess any amp would be an...

I want a new mini-mini cable for my t-amp. Is the OEHLBACH a good choice? Any other cable that can compete with it in its price segment?

I have a terratec dmx6fire lt and I just bought the Sonic Impact T-amp. Currently I'm using the analog out from the dmx at 0dB, with foobar, kernel streaming, 24bit and 96khz upsampling. (I'm using the t-amp to run my B&W DM303). I'm wondering if this should be the ideal sollution. btw...

My sister needs a new portable player, and it needs to be cheap and have as good sound as possible (although she probably wouldn't care about soundquality :P). Ease of use/navigation is also important.

I'm thinking, or more so hoping of combining the Sonic Impact Class "T" 2x15W amp with my dear Sennheiser HD600. amp specs: http://www.si-5.com/TechSpecs.html I'm buying the amp nonetheless, as I'm going to use it with my B&W DM303s. But could it drive (and in a good manner) my cans? Or...

I'm thinking of buying it as a gift for my siter, she turns 18 this easter. But how long will it take for koss to ship it? I live in Norway btw.

Wich one has better analog out? It seems to be a cost effective way to provide a good source for a headamp, since they're so good that you won't -need- a external DAC? Stereophile clearly stated that the CardDeluxe had much clearer analog-out, so I guess it would be the card to get in the...
