Hello everyone, I don't know much about IEM's at all, but i'm looking to get a gift for a girl as part of a secret santa thing. I don't think any over-ears will work. so i'm hoping i can get steered into the right direction. I'd like to keep it at $100 or lower maybe a little more, and there...

I currently have sennheiser hd 598's -- and was wondering if there would be any other headphones, that could give these genre's more justice than what I currently have. For the most part, the only amp I will be using will be my motherboard amp (MSI Gaming-7) and a vintage receiver. I'm not ...

Hello everyone!   I'm on the hunt for some new music, I grew up listening to a lot of reggae and ska and such, I love the bass groove of reggae but these days I don't agree much with the lyrics which has ruined the music for me as I stand up for gay rights.  So I am in the hunt for some new...

Hello everyone, looking to get some speakers for a 12' x 14' room, musical preferences are --   Ska -- All forms, from the 70's to the 2000's Reggae -- Old and new Dub --  Acoustical -- Think Jack Johnson Jazz -- Anything with horns really.   Also prefer woman vocals for the most part...

  I figured I would ask this here since *maybe* its computer related. I just built a new computer, using the MSi-Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard. It has the realtek 1150 chip, with emi shielded isolated PCB for the audio chip, They also boast that with their 'Direct audio power' (basically plugging a...

  Alright, so I'm agoraphobic and I do a lot of my communication via skype and or google hangouts with my girlfriend or friends. A lot of times these can be for hours at a time, I dont care much about sound quality, as these headphones will just be used for listening to those type of programs...

   So i have a room downstairs that is just being used for a storage/guest bedroom, and i would like to turn that into an office/study.  Right now i dont have a huge budget but i would love to get some 'bang for your buck' equipment and speakers, and maybe build upon that later.  ...

  My girlfriend and i just recently moved in together and we dont have much space, we have decided to turn our second bedroom into a 'media' style room, housing all of our computers and other gaming consoles. We both enjoy music and listen to alot of everything, from gaming OST's to classical...

I need to re-terminate my DT770-80's i think, sometimes the left ear cup doesn't work but when i twist the connector the sound comes back. Anyway, i don't have any soldering skills but i figure this would be a good time to try things. What i was wondering is, if anyone knows which color is...

I started my venture into headphones not to long ago, with a Alessandro MS-1 after a few months of listening to the MS-1, i read up on the forums about the MS-1000 and modded them accordingly. The soundstage definatly opened up alot, maybe its just my ears but i get alot of right/left...

Good evening, Head-Fi.     I recently purchased a pair of Alessandro MS-1's off the forums as my first purchase into the head-fi world. I love the sound they produce, Muse - Radiohead - The Cramps - Every Time I Die, they all sound insane. However, no matter what ear cups i use, they are...

Well, like most folks i have been collecting audio cds since i was about 12. I am now 28, and have started to mature down a bit, for the most part i have always been the person to just buy 'whats on sale' when it comes to headphones and receivers etc, but as of lately, i have been wanting to...
