Hopefully this is the best section for my question! I'm interested in ideas and opinions for portable sources with the primary purpose of in-car use.   Due to a number of factors, such as costs, time, and console design, I'm not replacing my head unit. This means I either have an FM...

Basically: I have some money to spare and the holidays are coming up. Each year I tend to add something to my audio collection, whether it be headphones or other components.   Currently, this is what I have:   -AKG Q701 -Ultrasone HFI-780 -Etymotic ER4S   -Hisoundaudio Studio-V...

I've been on this search for a while now, but it has mostly depended on the "If you like this, then you might also like..." features on music sites/applications. So far, nothing has really stood out for me. My main/go-to music style is Metal, so I'm lacking in genres like indie rock. I'm hoping...

I've been working on upgrading my audio set ups recently and I'm considering a few different options as to which direction I want to go. I'm leaning towards starting with adding a good amp for home use since I can pretty much use that to compliment any set up.   Sources: I currently have a...

I realize there are a few of these threads already, but I still can't figure out whether I should be considering a CD player specifically for home use.   To start off, here is the equipment I have/how I use it:   -HeadRoom Total BitHead -Cowon D2+: Used to pair with the BitHead as my...

My dad has requested a set of replacements for the stock ipod buds as a Christmas present. I've enjoyed the Etymotic's that I have used, but I'm not sure if they'd be best for him considering the amount of travel he does and he definitely wants something comfortable (quite a few people seem to...

I've been using my iphone 3GS but, for a few reasons, I'd like to upgrade. I don't have space on my iphone for higher quality files so I'd definitely like to have that option. I only have the 8GB version, so I'm thinking I'd like to get 16GB or 32GB. Of course, expandable is always a nice option...

I was pretty much settled on getting the ESW9A's but found a decent deal on the HFI-2200's and now I'm kind of torn. I have HFI-780's and absolutely love them. The fact that I enjoy those a lot gives me hope that I'd really like the 2200. The 2200 would also have the benefit of being an open set...

I just got some grado SR225i's for christmas along with a total bithead. As you can probably figure out from the title, I've come across an issue with a couple of songs. For the most part I'm liking them, though I have noticed that it makes a few songs sound weird, but not so much that it is...

I'm getting ahead of myself a bit here (still waiting on new headphones and then going to have to wait a little before I can spend money), but I'm considering either a decent home digital setup or a vinyl setup. I searched around and mostly found set ups starting well over my price range. To...

I'm going to admit that I know very little when it comes to acoustics and how to even begin to predict the effects of various mods on a headphone's sound, but I started thinking about an idea a little bit. How reasonable would it be to make cups out of carbon fiber? I know that carbon fiber...

I should be getting my 780's in a week or so and grados later this month. Along with the grados, I'll be getting a total bithead for portable use. I've been doing a lot of reading but as much as I try, I can't figure out where to even begin with amps. My limits/qualifications: 1) Price. I'll...

Does he sell modded headphones or does he sell the service for headphones you send in? I'd like to believe they're already phones with mods but some reason I can't believe that's what it is.

I'm almost definitely going to be getting ultrasone's PRO 650 for christmas, and possibly a total bithead amp. If I dont get the amp as a present, I'll just end up buying it for myself anyways. Now for my dilemma. I've found a deal on HFI-780's that I can afford. Now, it's not money I should...

I tried searching around a bit and wasn't able to find any direct comparisons or explanations, so I was curious about the differences between the total airhead and bithead, aside from price. The only thing I can notice is the addition of USB. Also, as the title suggests, I'm looking to pair...

After getting some recommendations previously and doing some research on my own, I think I've narrowed it down a bit more. I'm still open to recommendations or explanations why something is better than other options within my price range. I'm looking for something that will be fine without an...

This is my first post on the forum and I've been doing a lot of research but still unsure of what would be best for me. I've currently got a pair of HD 280s which have served me well but are showing some wear and I feel like upgrading to something better. Their main use will be at home on my...
