for the past week or so my s-jays have been crackling on and off on the right side. i'll be listening to music, the crackling will come out of nowhere, and the weird thing is that the only thing that seems to stop it is giving the iem a good hard flick. any idea what might be causing this and...

Hey, I could really use some help...  After having the original one driver/middle-of-the-pack PFEs since they first came out, the right channel finally went (most likely a cable issue; the cables on the originals are pretty bad). I was wondering if there was an IEM for around $150 (what the PFEs...

Without the need to do any modding, what are some of the most balanced, transparent, and detailed sounding players on the market that would be compatible with my new Mac? My current player (Sony Walkman S639F) is compatible, but I want something much more detailed, because I think it sounds...

...and I'm used to ripping CDs with EAC and playing songs in foobar2000. Are there any equivalents of these programs for Mac OSX? Also, how is the soundcard in the Mac Mini? And would it work well for recording?

It's all in the title. I was thinking maybe a Sansa Fuze. I want something with a noticeably much quicker, flatter, and more detailed sound than my S639F. Compared to my Aiwa PCDP, the S639F is rather disappointing. I'm looking for something that can match or better the SQ of the Aiwa. I also...

I know portable speakers generally don't sound very good, but if money isn't much of an issue (well, under $150 would be nice), what would be the best speakers I could buy to pair with my S639F? I want something that doesn't distort at high volumes, and has a decently balanced sound (maybe with...

I need to know one thing to finish the last part of something. What is 250mL of water in kg?

Or should I just get a Plextor Premium and forget about watching movies on my computer or putting them on my S639F? I can afford the Plextor Premium 2, but I don't think I want to spend that much (it's $130 at best).

I don't know how to, so I decided maybe I should rally up a team of people that do or are willing/have the attention span to learn. Anyone?

Or have any way of finding out? Or if Skullcandy makes the drivers in-house, what do they look like? Cheap? I want to know. Maybe they really are worth $1?

I'm in love with the PFE gray filter sound signature. Keep that in mind. I want a wider/deeper soundstage, though (at least somewhat illusive, please. I like to feel like I'm there. It can't be unnaturally big, though. Just big. And accurate. And natural). My RX700s are a little too bassy, and...

My God they are hideous. I didn't really like them that much already, but that sure sealed the deal. Discuss similar moments when the aesthetics of a headphone you already weren't too fond of sort of "sealed the deal" (in other words, both sound and fashion are out so you pretty much just...

I've decided that I want something musical (though with no midbass hump after burn-in) with excellent dynamics, texture, soundstage, and durability for use in situations that could damage my beloved PFEs. Please compare them based on the following factors: -bass impact -bass extension...

I just found an Aiwa XP-SR311 Cross Trainer lying around. It was manufactured in December 2000 and apparently had an MSRP of $140 at release. Also, if I'm reading the labeling correctly, it has a line out via the headphone jack. It looks sort of like this, but with a more rectangular button...

Syncronicity – Sébastien Cloutier – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm Enjoy!

Matthew Santos – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm At least I think so. He's like a jazzy/mellow/acoustic Jeff Buckley. And to me, that = win. Not to mention, his songs are pretty easy to play. And judging from the waveform after importing into Audacity, his recordings are...

Things to take note of: a) I'm still training my ears and b) Everyone hears things differently Therefore, YMMV. Enjoy the review! Almost two months ago (sorry for the delay Peter), I received a pair of s-JAYS in the mail to review. To be honest, after reading Martin's review...

BHAR damaged by the Loudness War - Muse Messageboard Who wants to have an annual Head-Fi mailbox assault with letters and emails begging for none of this loudness crap on the 5th album? It's especially important this time around because the 5th album includes an orchestra. WHO'S WITH...

Basically, I listen almost exclusively to acoustic guitar music such as Andy McKee, Antoine Dufour, and the John Butler Trio. Because of this, I like something with excellent mids and highs, And I hate sibilance. Basically, I want something with a general sound signature that comes as close...

YouTube - John Butler Trio - Ocean Wow.

Does the site look different for anyone else?

But with much wider and more realistic soundstage. I also want them to be very quick, but at the same time have super realistic decay (so if a note is quick in the recording, these will be lightning fast, and if not, the note will linger for as long as it's supposed to). And detail is a must...

I was planning on doing it last weekend, but I was busy. Just making this thread to tie myself to it and make sure I don't forget. So, what do you guys want to see in the review? My Phonaks just came in, so I'm now able to do a proper comparison with another balanced armature IEM. I'm going...

In my search for the most musically and emotionally satisfying IEM under $200, I remembered these. Seeing as I don't have a clue what siren drivers sound like, could someone who has listened to these please review them? I think it's about time we found out what the new Jays IEM's are like...

These look interesting. http://www.phiaton.com/fulfillment/p...asp?prod=12469 Has anyone here tried them?
