Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) circuits are often shunned on Head-Fi, because the technology that makes the noise cancellation possible also has a tendency to interfere with accurate sound reproduction, and from my experience, can make them sound very sibilant at times. However...

Does the wax filter included in the TX-series make any significant impact on the sound as opposed to the regular T-series? The wax-guard feature seems like it could be helpful, but I'm hesitant, given that they drive the cost up $5 and seem like they could impact sound... Anyone with experience...

Whenever I use Google Chrome, I get this message: "Your mobile browser can only load the Basic editor. You may see some HTML source displayed. Any BBCode you enter will be converted to HTML when you save." It started a couple of weeks ago, and it's kind of annoying, because it never renders...

I notice that when I'm listening to their songs, they seem to lack some of that impact and energy that I feel the songs should have, so I was wondering if anyone else noticed that... I'm also pretty sure it's not my headphones

I'm looking into buying some IEMs in the $70-$90 range, and these are the ones that seem to get the most attention (Turbines are included b/c of the Amazon sale). So how do they stack up against each other? I listen to classical, rock, pop, and other random stuff in between, so I'm really just...

Odd question, I know, but I've got a bunch of money stored up in Amazon gift cards, so I was wondering what are the best IEM's I can get with them... I know they have the Triple-Fi 10's for ~$180, but is there anything better for less than $250? (Preferably $200, but I can stretch) Just curious...

So I have the Audio-Technica M50s, and I've been looking into maybe getting a pair of open headphones to complement the sound. I've seen the Senn HD 595s on Amazon for around $130, and I'm wondering how they compare to some of the other open offerings out there... Unfortunately, I can't afford...

Just wondering, because it seems like even experienced head-fiers have been getting banned recently... What're the reasons? It just seems weird to have some like headphoneus supremeus randomly show up as banned one day...

As the title indicates, I want to improvise a strain relief for my UE 500 IEMs... They have a right-angle connector, and a flat cable. Unfortunately, it transitions directly from hard plastic soft cabling, so I want to find a way to keep it from bending, as well as a way to keep it from being...

Curiosity is taking hold, and I'm starting to wonder how an amp would change the sound of my headphones. Nothing definite yet, but the thought's there. If i were to get an amp, it would probably have to be portable, as I spend a lot of time away from my desk, at school, etc. So now to the real...

It seems like the Sony MDR-V6 and MDR7506 get rave reviews among the general public, but I almost never hear about them here on Head-Fi. I'm sort of curious as to how they would compare to some Head-Fi favorites, like the Shure 840s or the M50s or something... Gah... I'm catching some kind of...

Hey, I'm pretty new to the whole audiophile thing, so I apologize if I sound a little clueless sometimes... Anyway, my friend and I got a pair of Grado SR80is and Audio Technica M50s, respectively, and after having listened to both, I was wondering if there was a pair of closed headphones that...
