I installed new speakers in my car using the preinstalled wires. Each wire was a different color and I mixed up the +/- terminals.   Assuming all the wires are connected to the amp/headunit correctly, does it matter which terminal it goes into the speaker? If there is no difference between the...

Apologies in advance for incorrect grammar and poor styling; It's why I'm studying engineering instead of English.   There are headphone reviews everywhere on the internet. Online reviewers, Youtube videos, and other 'audiophile' websites. I inevitably stumbled across Head-Fi: The largest and...

Hello Fellas,    I've got a strong urge of upgraditus and I feel like digging into the CIEM market.   Does anyone know if the $600 for a 4 driver custom sound that much better than a Westone 4 ($300)?   I've got my eyes on either the UM Mage ( 4-Driver, $639), 1964 Ears V6 (...

Hey Guys   I bought a Westone 4 off another head-fier here a few months ago, and I've been generally happy with it.    However, the sound has been getting, somewhat boring for me (I've heard lots of people comment on it's boring sound). It's too.. natural.    So now, I'm looking for...

I want to point out beforehand that I have perfect hearing, don't listen to loud music, no history of ear problems, etc. I'm still a teenager also, so my hearing should be better for that fact.   Anyways, I have tested this on my Computer + Asus Xonar STX and iPhone -> FiiO E11 using both...

  After I bought the Monster Turbine Gold off Amazon during the $200 sale, I noticed that there were a lot of things that look different than my previous Pro Golds (which I got rid of for several different reasons).    One thing is that the stress relief on the end of the cable near the...

Been wondering for a while regarding all those people lurking around head-fi, especially those with audio rigs exceeding $10,000:   What is the general age group of Head-Fi? The place seems much more mature and civil than any other forum I've been on.   What % of the people actually work...

I have a new Fiio E11, and I think it's failing pretty bad.   My iPhone 4S can drive 250 Ohm Beyer DT770s loud enough for my liking, and I hear no difference when I plug in my amp and adjust the volume to the same level. All the rambling on from "audiophiles" about better trebles, more...

  Would someone that's knowledgeable in this area give me a comparison between the FiiO E6 and the FiiO E11?   Price isn't really much of an issue for me, the E11 goes for $64 while the E6 goes for $28. Both have positive reviews so I'm assuming that the E11 is just another step up, but is...

  This question is regarding the ethics of buying and returning multiple $100 + Headphones on amazon. I didn't think it would fit in any of the headphone forums so I thought this might be a good place.   I'm very picky, and I keep finding small details that displeases me and can't tolerate...

Hey guys, I'm considering to get a full-size pair of phones and I pretty much narrowed my choices to these few:   Audio Technica ATH-M50 Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohms Shure SRH-840 AKG-K172   All these headphones are around the same price, with AKG probably a bit cheaper, but...
