Does anyone happen to be around Santa Barbara area know of any audio shops? I've been going around looking for a a music shop to audition some headphones I've been meaning to try, but haven't had any luck. So if anyone is around here and knows of a place, I could use a heads-up!

Just got a pair of M6s in the mail. Currently using the stock clear double flange...anyone have any suggestions on other tips I could try? So far I seem to have a tight seal; I can't imagine these ever falling off with the memory wire.    Only other IEMs I have to compare these to are the...

They're both on sale at the moment, M6 for $15 and Beta for $13. I'm not sure which to get; has anyone had experiences with the sound signatures of either? I listen to a lot of EDM so I'm looking for something with bass.   Currently the only IEM I've got is the MEP-933, which is fun, but not...

So I've got an issue right now with my e10 where it only works when the playback sample rate is set to 32kHz. Anything above at 44.1kHz gives me massive stuttering and static.  I can't seem to fix the issue so for now I'll have to live with 16b/32kHz playback. Is the difference between 32kHz...

Sound is distorted very badly with crackles and pops in the background if I try to set the Advanced Sound Properties in Control Panel to 16bit/44100Hz, or anything higher. I tried reinstalling my drivers, but that didn't help either. The only setting that seems to work is 16bit/32000Hz. Does...

Hey guys,   I just got an E7 and hooked it up to my laptop via usb, but for some reason when I set the default format in my playback devices (Windows 7), I get a lot of noise/static to the point where any sound is VERY distorted when I set it to 16 bit, 44100Hz (CD Quality). The E7 only...

I've had a pair of ATH A500s for a few years and I figure it's time for an upgrade (a small one, if anything). I mainly listen to EDM so I was looking at some potential candidates that didn't require an amp. Although, I wouldn't mind getting one if needed. Here's what I dug up:   - Ultrasone...
