hi, i'm looking for some comfortable neutral headphones, that are non-iem based with little clampforce. i have been using a sony 7506 for the last 5 years and liked its tonal character, but want something different due to the cups not being comfortable. (i am not interested in the beyer...

how good do you guys think the sony nwz-b135 is in terms of sound quality? sounds good with my sony mdr-7506. i'm thinking about getting some sennheiser ie8s, will this tiny sony player do them justice? all i want is a tiny 2gb flash player, are the small sony flash players...

can i run an akg 701 off a HeadRoom Total BitHead with good results or is it too weak to drive these cans? i have already got the bithead and have been using it for 2 years with a sony mdr-7506, which isn't a bad combo imho

how good is the soundquality of the technics dj headphone series, they look stylish enough for use as portable cans. if they are no good then i'm sticking to my 7506

hi, i'm looking for a line-out adpater for my 2nd gen nano, are the standard ones any good soundqualitywise? i.e. sendstation

what headphones is paul van dyk wearing in this pic? they are massive and i have never seen them anywhere else before. if anybody knows, i reckon it'll be duggeh, :-)

just transcoded some 192kb/s mp3 files to atrac3 plus 66kb/s, the 192 were dj radio rips, so no redbook available. and before you cruxify me it is usable. the sound is slightly muffled compared to the 192 file but no distortions, i have tested listening scenarios on the bus with the...

when and where can i buy the new akg k518 and how much will they cost. anybody got any infos yet??

i just did some abxing with foobar, a bithead and my sennheiser hd650s. i was also using lame's newest mp3 encoding release. test file michael jackson's: "who is it" as i know this track quite well. i did manage to identify 128kb/s in all cases, it was by no means a walk in the park...

just picked up a new hd5 was a bargain-like 66 pounds, that's like 120 dollars. 20gb, nice sound quality, albeit with hiss on my cx300, that goes if you amp though. i'm not into video and fancy colour screens so this could be my player for next few years. anybody else still like the hd5?

hi, i need a high quality cable to connect my sony mz-rh1 mini disc player to my total bithead, how good is this setup and what cable would you suggest? this setup is totally hissless, so i need something good, i'm powering hd650s with this lot what about a 3.5 to 3.5 "ichord"...

i've got a sony a3000, works fine with my sony 7506s, no hiss, with my cx300, my main portables, i get hiss which is bugging me, i've heard an attenuator could help, where can i get these from and what is a good price?

pls list all major iems and how they comapre to cx300s i'm thinking about upgrading, i love my cx300s, so i need to be sure i get more bang for my bucks, price is no issue but the cheaper the better

entice me - why should i get some grados? i'm intrigued but the looks really scare me off, they look uncomfortable, here in the uk i don't have any dealers nearby that stock grados, so i'd have to order just by picture sight i listen to electronic music and am currently a proud...

what's the general consensus are full cans superior to iems soundwise? i am talking about at home, let's say in bed when there are no external disturbances i personally prefer my ears to massaged by a large driver rather than a tiny iem driver,

i'd like to compare my sony mz rh1 to an ipod and modded version, anybody in the uk got a modded ipod?

the new NW-S203F blimey what are the new hdd players going to look like!!!

hi, i bought a belkin mini-mini cable from an ipod shop in the uk, it trades at 10 pounds about 18 dollars, i'm using it to connect a pa2v2 and a sony mz-rh1 , is this cable adequate for my system, the packaging states 99.9% oxygenfree copper, plus the cable is thickly shielded

this might be a weird question, but is it not unhealthy to have a strong magnet field near ones ear all the time (as in drivers) i'm just interested whether anybody knows , whether this could be potentially harmful, if one uses headphones for years and years for sustained periods of times...

if iwas to swap with somebody woud this be a fair swap?

i went to my local massive shopping centre called "meadowhall" in the U.K. and a teenager walked passed me with a pair of porta pros attached to his psp, he has got to be of head-fi, as I have never seen anybody wear a pair of these in public before here in the U.K. let's face it the cans...

there was an article in a german hifi mag "stereo, that tested the sony mz-rh1, one of the results obtained was that the rh1 sounded significantly better than the apple ipod!!! this info was posted in the german minidisc forum, i have obtained a copy of the article and just wanted to...

i've searched the forums and not found anything decent, all the asio download links are outdated am i right in assuming that asio will bypass windows internal mixer? how do i get asio to work with winamp 5.0, i looked at foobar but it crashes on me all the time any help would be...

what's better? using the volume knob on the headphone out, going the internal amp way, or using the windows control panel and listening via the indigo dj line-out? shouldn't the latter produce better sound quality?

hi, i thought i'd open a new thread as the other one was getting massive, here my beloved Sony MZ-RH1 and Sennheiser CX300s at last a "hissless" Sony!!!
