Opinion on JBL Duet III
Does anyone at head-fi own these and can recommend me if I should get them or not? I am looking for clear, precise bass, good treble extension, and a nice midrange. Soundstage and detail/separation are not quite as important in such a low costing speaker. I've tried searching for anyone's...- jaqueh

Really disappointed with the gigaworks T20
I was looking for speakers recently and found a bunch of forums including head-fi that said that the Creative Gigaworks T20 are some of the best speakers for the price and size ever made. I decided to get them because I needed 2.0 speakers because I was tired of really bassy speakers that most...- jaqueh

extreme treble roll off on A151
Is anyone experiencing treble roll off at 8khz? Like right at the cusp of being able to notice crispiness aka "t" or "s" sounds. Also, all the harmonics from the music i normally listen to is completely absent when i listen to these. Now i know that BAs aren't very capable of producing a broad...- jaqueh

A post dedicated to the wonderful company known as Meelectronics--and hopefully this will become a thread

how does audio work on a computer?

DreamTheater's new album, "A Dramatic Turn of Events"
Literally in my opinion, DreamTheater hasn't made a good album since "Images and Words", sure they've had some very good songs on some of their recent albums, but as a whole most of their albums become dated really quickly and end up sounding like a mess of ideas. So, i'm asking if you guys... -
potential question many new tf10 owners might be asking:
So i have heard many things about these headphone's fit problems, and personally I have never had a single issue ever with fit in my whole lifetime with iems, and i have owned many. So what are some foams or olives that you'd recommend in place of the stocks? However, my main concern is these...- jaqueh

Has anyone else had any build quality issues with their meelectronic cc51's?

If you do then please help me find some new under $100 IEMs for metal. So just today my pl30's, which I loved since they sounded like a poor man's silver bullets, had its wires caught in my bike wheel and snapped off the wire connecting to the speakers. On top of that, just two months ago...- jaqueh

re0 v ue700
weird comparison i know, one being dynamic and the being DBA. But which one is more similar to the sound signature that i seem to enjoy for metal: Cold sounding and very fast, good separation of instruments, decent soundstage (not too important), bass needs to be present, decent timbre...- jaqueh

thoughts on the srh440 with 840 pads
I complained to shure a couple days ago about how i could fear the drivers digging themselves into my earlobes and they decided to send me 840 pads. The first thing i noticed is how much more mesh was on the 840 pads then the 440s. Well, I replaced them, and i found that the treble was...- jaqueh

midrange IEM, sub $100, good for metal [choosing among Ety ep-6, addiem, UE s.fi 5, creative in ear2, SWXSCAPE]
The three things that I look for in a pair of headphones are detail, instrument seperation, and bass quality. Since I listen to metal, I would rather have the headphones produce the bass sounds I currently own the ne-6, and find their bass to be too boomy and there is no instrument...- jaqueh

To all addiem owners: are these worth ~$70? bonus if you like metal!
I really think that I have a preference for fast headphones, considering that I mainly listen to metal, prog, and rock. My SRH440, I believe drove that point home for me. Well my birthday is coming up, and I've completely gotten tired of the NE6, they are really muddy and not suitable for metal...- jaqueh
