Wasn't sure if this was posted already but amazon is selling Etymotic ER6i for $50 amazon

Hey guys, I've asked a question like this before so just bear with me I have around $1200 to spend and I need a portable setup, as I already have a k701 home setup. I'm almost positive that i'm going to go with UE11's, but if I do, thats all i'm getting. I already have an ipod shuffle so...

Hi, i've been trying to decide which portable route I should go for. I've been looking at the UE11's and the shure 530's but when it comes down to source and amp...i'm totally lost. Can you guys help me piece together a portable setup with around $1000-1500. I didn't want to go over 1000 but i...

I haven't visited this site for awhile after I was satisfied with my k701/heed combo, but now i'm wondering what headphones synergize well with the heed canamp. I am looking for a more fun can so I was thinking of either grados or the denons d2000. The grados i've heard work better with a tube...

ok so a friend came over and he was trying out my k701's. well he turned the volume on my heed canamp up to 3/4 volume ( i never turn it past half/12 o'clock). So essentially the volume was up very very loud, it was only like that for 2 seconds or maybe 3....but that seemed like forever >< so...

Just in the past hour I talked to the Mr. Alden, the father of the CEO of Skullcandy and he gave me a pair of pink full metal jacket 11mm iems. He was telling me that he knew that most of their products are more trendier than hi-fi, and more bass oriented, but he said that the ones he gave me...

I have a the k701 right now and I love it but lately i've been craving a phone that would get me more invovled into the music....well maybe invovled isn't the word but a more fun can is what i'm looking for. I was thinking of getting some grados cause I could bring them along with me pretty...

i'm saving up and almost have that much. if you had that much money to blow on a rig, what would it be? I was thinking of a portable rig like the ue10 or 11 with imod and tomahawk but for that price I could get like a gs1000, a gs-1 and a good source. what would you recommend?

I'm trying to decide whether to buy some new cans or upgrade my amp first. I have the k701 right now and they sound great with the Heed, but what other cans sound good with it. or should I save up and sell the heed to fund for like a mapletree. I want to get a fun can now and i'm thinking...

I'm thinking of getting the emu0404 for my k701 heed combo, but is there another dac I should be looking in to? I'll be using my computer so i'll need a usb out most likely. Would the 0404 be a warm enough source for the k701 or should I be looking for something else or will it be fine. thanks

Does touching the foam part in front of the drivers do anything to the sound? My ear was touching the foam part and made a little indentation. it will probably return to normal in like an hour or so but is this bad for the phones or does it affect the sound?

When i take the 701's off the left side of the headband slides down to the lowest it can go, like i would assume that it should. but on the right side it tends to stay up and I have to manually push it down. its not really a problem but is this normal? I don't want to return it either because...

when I rip to apple lossless with itunes error correction, the rip speed never goes above 4x and is usually around 2.6-3.4 . Without error correction I got x6.......but I remember getting x12 just awhile back. any reason for this? I'm ripping onto an extra internal harddrive so that might be...

What other female artists should I look in to if I really liked imogen heap?

i'm using the alac encoder with foobar2k and am about to convert it to flac but it says, compression level 8 is "smallest file, slow encoding" and level 0 is "biggest file, fast encoding" I don't want to loose any sq from alac to flac so what level should I use.

Hi, I have all of my music encoded in apple lossless, so is there any other player like foobar2k that supports it. I don't have all of the discs to re-encode so if that is the solution, i'd rather not. from apple lossless is it safe to convert to like FLAC without any quality loss? the last time...

Hi, I was wondering if I expected too much from my k701's. They are good the way they are now but I was expecting that the sound wouldn't be that congested and kind of dry. I'm using a Heed canamp but my source is just a soundblaster for the gateway. They are also not all the way burned in...

I'm thinking of buying a DAC, but if USB is the only way I would be able to hook it up to my PC, then it rules out alot of my choices. my soundcard is just a soundblaster and it doesn't have optical or coxial and well, the stuff that I would need. Should I get another soundcard to remedy this...

How much exactly does the K701 improve with around 300 hours of burn in that everyone says they need. I'm using them new with maybe a couple hours burned in and they just don't seem too much better than my stock computer speakers. I'm using them with a heed canamp, but my soundcard is some...

what warm dac's are out there, preferably in the $300 and less range. i'm going to be using it with k701's and a heed so a warm source might be good.

I've been looking at a few like the -micro dac -constantine -Spitfire dac what other good DAC's are there out there in that price range and what would be the best for a k701. oh, and i'm using a laptop as a source so probably usb out and maybe optical if i get a TBAAM.

I got my canamp like 4 hours ago and I was wondering if it was normal when I turn the volume to max when nothing is running to hear the humming sound? my soundcard is a really old soundblaster and I don't have an external dac so I think the source is to blame. and is there a certain way to...

What genres do you listen to and do you prefer a neutral or warm sound sig. for that type of music?

I have the 880's and my heed should be coming in this weekend. is there synergy in this setup?

For around the $150 price range and less, what are my options for a DAC? I don't need an integrated amp or anything because I will already have a headphone amp. I've looked at the fubar II and am really thinking of getting it but what are my other choices. I just need something that will be...
