Boom mic like v-moda Boom Pro but with double-ends
I want to use my nice headphones for work calls sometimes. Would love something like the V-moda boom pro, but that had a split cord for my headphones which have dual 3.5mm jacks instead of one-sided. The Antlion runs a cord the whole way, which kind of sucks. Any recs?- akatsuki

akatsuki's Aurora Borealis clone
Original version by /u/mwildebeast I saw this project when reading reviews for a new headphone and thought it sounded fun. But I wanted to make them a bit cleaner looking - and I ordered slightly different 3.5mm jacks. I didn’t like the small protruding box below the earcups, and I wanted to...- akatsuki

3D prints for fit testing
I know if the mouse world you can get 3D print kits to test fit. But I would love to see the same for IEMs. I am super curious about the IER-ZR1s but the complaints about fit and comfort make sure I would never actually buy them. Has anyone scanned or modeled them?- akatsuki

Upgrade from Massdrop Pluses under $800
I have Massdrop Pluses that I like quite a bit. Looking for a clear step up but similar sound profile. Looking for universals. Budget is $800, can be used or new. This isn't urgent, so I can wait for stuff to appear on the market. Other IEMs I have owned: Blessing Dusks - a bit thinner and...- akatsuki

Articulate and warm for $150
My Heir 4a customs were stolen a while ago and I've been using SE215s which are okay but definitely have their problems. While I contemplate Fibae 3s or Spiral Ears to replace my Heirs, I am looking for a better option than the Shures to tide me over. I want something airy at the high end...- akatsuki

Motorcycle in helmet speakers
So I use a Sena 20S with my motorcycle helmet. It is a pretty nice bluetooth based system and I like it since I've never found earbuds that can stay in ears while a helmet is being put on. The included speakers are these flat things, that apparently are 32 ohm, and they get reasonably loud...- akatsuki

The cheap bluetooth IEMs?
On Amazon and elsewhere, there are a ton of these almost identical sets of headphones , all <$50 or so. Some examples: Soundpeats Jarv Photive PlayX and so on... They all have the same AptX Bluetooth 4.0 support and I imagine are using the same chipset. They all seem like they are...- akatsuki

PS4 headsets... again
Been doing a ton of PvP lately in Destiny... And at night, I have to turn the volume too low to get audio cues, so time for a gaming headset. Priorities are: 1. Surround sound - whether included or through external processor, knowing someone is behind you is essential; the better the...- akatsuki

PS4 decent chat-only headset?
So the PS4 comes with a little earbud thing that falls out of your ears all the time. I am looking for a simple chat headset that will let me do communication while still listening to my surround speakers for audio cues. Any suggestions?- akatsuki

An odd one: motorcycle in-helmet speakers
So I have a Sena 20 bluetooth system in my helmet. Mostly for directions, but also music occasionally. The speakers are these flat discs that are attached via velcro to the lining of the helmet. The good - they play loud. Since I sometimes ride with earplugs to drown out the wind and...- akatsuki

ER-4PTs, CTM-200s, others?
I am completely mired in trying to decide where to go next... I had a set of ER-4Ps which sounded amazing but had those horrible microphonics. Since then, I have randomly suffered through lots of different IEMs including the Ety hfs which didn't sound nearly as good to my ears. So...- akatsuki

FI-BA-A1 / ER-4 / RE272 - which one?
I had ER-4Ps for years and loved them, but the microphonics of the cables killed them for me. Bought some HF3s, thought they were good, but for some reason they never connected the same way to them sound-wise. So, do I give the ER-4s another chance? Do I go RE272 or FAD? Or am I totally...- akatsuki

I would love to get rid of the shirt clip dongle on my ER-4Ps and I am planning on getting an iPhone soon. Plus I was thinking of moving to 50 ohm...- akatsuki
