Hi! Been a long time for me not coming here but it's the best place to find headphones so I was bound to return :) Anyway, recently picked up Beats Flex for work. Those will stay as work earphones since a $20 wired AKG that came with my phone sounds better to my ears. Is there a good...

So I've had these for many years now, I work on the road and can't take my stereo system with me so these are a nice compromise. However the pads definately need replacing, comfort could also be slightly better and they also look like ass compared to the pretty things they sell nowadays at the...

This is going to be a gift for the sister, she is the typical average consumer that would just go in and pick up beats by Dre and be happy, if she had the money that is haha. I can't just get her beats by Dre though because she knows me, she'll know I would have put in 0 effort. The other...

Hi so first of all I'm in Canada, meaning many IEMs are not available here or are way overpriced and this time around I'm just not interested in the hassle of shipping cross-border.    My lovely n700x have crapped out on me despite taking really good care of them, I've loved them since the...

Hi guys,   I'm thinking whether I should order a cowon i9 from this place: advancedmp3players.co.uk.  Local store stock is running low and they only have the 1 color (black) while this UK shop has the other colors and it has a great price with shipping for some B-Stock (minor scratches or...

Yeah so I'm dumb, I made an account because I wanted to purchase from Fulcrumaudio.ca.  I did the whole verify your bank account thing and figured finally but now it says 6-8 days to transfer funds to paypal account, for real?  I just want to purchase some IEMs from them am I going to have to...

Hi,   I've tried reading reviews/impressions/comparisons here and elsewhere but still can't come to a decision so maybe this thread will help me.  Firstly, here in Canada the Cowon 8GB sells for $140, the newer Sony E series is only $80 or $100 for 16GB version so I should have a good reason...

Hey guys, straight forward question I guess.   Reason I ask is because I've not needed a DAP in a long time but do so again, I checked electronic stores and DAP selection is much worse than a few years ago which I'm guessing is due to "do it all" phones like iPhone or Blackberry that...

Hi all, I recently bought a new laptop with the usual Realtek HD internal audio. I know it's not the greatest solution but it does the job in my case and I'm not going to be getting any external DAC or soundcards at this time. Only problem is, as I found out when installing the Realtek drivers...

Hi again, I've read the threads about using Beyer DT250 pads on these, I actually don't mind the pleather right now and it's not too clampy for my small head, I don't want to mess with the sound either. However, it appears I have elf ears or something.. they stick out just far enough to make...

Hi, I've been having this problem with every single mp3 player (and portable CD players in the past) to date where after a couple of months use I get something that sounds like static and a bit of sound fading in and out when I spin the headphone plug (like a 360 for instance). Is that...

I want to buy Ultrasone HFI 780 but I live in Canada, so I've turned to ebay. However, never used it before I just know there can be problems like fake products or outright scams. So, any tips on how to go about the whole thing for a beginner? If someone could also just take a look at the...

Hi all, I've read about both headphones with a lot of curiosity, now I want to purchase either the HFI or PRO. All the information I've gathered is very fragmented across the forum and I can't really get a decent picture of how they compare hence this thread (sorry if one already exists...

I'm kind of set on buying one of these 3 IEMS, from the reading I've done they all sound good and offer a good amount of bass which is what I'm looking for (I listen to a lot of electronica). In my situation they actually will end up costing within $5-$10 of eachother because of the limited...

I live in Canada, while searching for a place to pick up the Audio Technica ATH-M50 I found a music store that's about 10min from my house and it actually carries the phone, however unexpectedly they also carry a few Beyers and at a price relative to the AT that actually makes it worth...

I'm buying the ATH-M50 for use with my new PC (playing some games, listening to tunes while doing my work etc.). I'm estimating this headphone will cost me ~$150US, so I'm wondering if there is a suitable DAC/AMP combo that's worthwhile purchasing for this particular phone considering what I...

I'm starting to search for a place within Canada or one that will ship to Canada (not UPS) with a decent price on the ATH-M50 and stumbled on to this: eCOST.com-Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Studio Monitor Stereo Headphone - ATH-M050 - Audio-Technica ATH-M050 (Headphones) - eCOST.com - electronics...

Hi all, few days ago I started a thread because I wanted some help picking out a headphone for my needs(unamped, closed, decent bass). After all was said and done and with a lot of friendly help I decided the ATH-M50 would be my best bet, I haven't yet gone out to buy these. However, I was...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy some good closed headphones that can be driven by a PC and laptop without an amp. Loud noise from the computer is a bother most of the time so I'm not even buying speakers for my new desktop. I will use these primarily for listening to music while doing my work on...
