Looking for some decent headphones that can be used at the gym   can't be IEM's as my ears are sensitive and the sweat being pushed into my ear is the reason i'm now looking for non IEM   was considering the px100, but they've gone up in price the last time i checked, and even then i...

Where can they be had.. all of my prior ones have been torn due to regular wear and tear and id like to order a few of them.. hopefully at a good price I was at radio shack earlier and the regular cushions are like 5 bucks for a pack of four or 1.25 per and i figure i could of bought cheap...

Hello head-fiers I plan to go flea market/thrift store shopping for a relatively cheap speaker option for my Desktop this weekend. I was going to go pick up my chaintech av-710 from a friend and from what i recall the line out on the sound card is mad decent. I'm trying to fund a relatively...

I've never soldered anything.. ever .. I dont even own a soldering iron. But i've always been really curious about making an amp/recabling my headphones so how should I approach my broken amp? The headphone port cracked and the slightest touch seems to change the sound so i'm assuming its not...

160GB + 40Hr battery All I need now are the dimensions and info about the dock compatibility or is everyone throwing a big hoopla over the limited iPhone?

Curious if anyone on the form is pursing a degree in IE or is currently working in the field? If so, would you recommend someone now to pursue it? From wikipedia and talking to some professors the profession sounds interesting however im worried about job availability and of course.. money...

has anyone heard and enjoyed this album as much as i am right now? If so can someone recommend something similar?

Do you think people put too much weight into headphone purches based on looks and aesthetics? I mean the grounds of head-fi is the fidelity? Am i just being too picky and its just much more prevalent now that head-fi's base is so large? It's a bit annoying but looking for comments on...

Regarding build quality (not looks) or sound quality? Do you think they offer a good SQ:$$ ratio? What headphones are their direct competitors and which do you consider the better bargain? I know these are earbuds and its really kind of hard to compare them to other headphones, but from...

Hello all, just curious where most of you find music recommendations? I'm sort of looking for new hip-hop music, but, I wouldn't mind finding any active forum really that goes over every genre of music. This forum is fine, but usually when someone asks for a Hip-Hop recommendation we get...

I've noticed recently that my iPods navigation seems a bit bogged. While going into the menu/changing tracks/games etc it seems a little slow. I've always noticed a little delay, but recently it seems to be even longer. Could this possibly be caused if you fill the iPod with more data? I...

I'm looking for an iPod line out, preferably to a male 1/8th plug, however, i'd be fully content w/ a simple line out to a female 1/8th. I'm very new in this regards, and i'd really appreciate any input/links/pm/recommondations. I'd like to spend < $20, however, the only options i've found so...

It's officially been released a few weeks now so what do you guys think? I myself would describe it like Barney, legendary. It's been hyped/leaked so I guess it's sort of been pushed, but by all means its an awesome album. Hurts Me Soul = new ringtone heheheh

any word on new issues arising/resolved?

Any podcast recommendation? Not really genre specific as I like to keep my ears open for anything good/interesting.

I'm looking to replace my 4G 40GB monochrome iPod battery. I originally bought a "My bat li-ion battery" thinking it was the right one for the ipod. However after some research I find that its only 3.6 volt, which I believe is for the ipod mini? Anyways does anyone know if this battery is...

I've been have alot of problems w/ my ipod ever since the release of itunes 5.0. At first i wasn't even able to instal itunes 5.0 however with the release of 6.0 that problem was fixed. Now however whenever I plug in my iPod my computer locks / hangs / freezes I cant execute any programs or shut...

Wanted to know if anyone out there dismantled the KSC50 before/yet? Im looking for some pictures because I want to remove the clip that keeps the headphones to the ear and replace them with something that can give me a much more secure/tighter clamp to my head. I don't know how the...

Im looking at either the K26P or the PX100. I dunno if the k26P's headband allows you to leave the headphones around ur neck when you need to take them off for whatever reasons (as i hear they have a retractable headband mechanism). The general conscientious is the AKG's offer a better...

How do these now compare to the new IEM's? Before shure and the semper.fi 5 pro I know these were considered one if not the best canal phones.. How are these for portable wear? I remember reading how some people had problems with the cable vibrating in the wind making the sound pretty much...

I currently have the KSC75 but find them uncomfortable and awkward walking around with them flapping up against my ears. I was thinking of maybe Sennheisers PX100 but found the ER6i for sale for 75$ thus making it really tempting. I've had ear buds before and dont really like the idea of taking...

http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...t%5Fid=42-2551 imagine those cables with a female 1/8 end If i was to hook up the red/white end to my home amplifier and my headphones to 1/8 end of the cable would this setup damage my headphones? This is just temporary as i save for a decent...

After reading the forums for along time (registered only recently) today i strangly applied all I learned hah. Ordered: Alessandro MS-1 Koss KSC75 Sony EX71 I know the EX71's are going to be the black sheep in my collection but I got them for relativly cheap (30$) and if I dont like...

I'd rather not spend more then 70$ but if it's really worth it I can save for a couple of weeks. It's going to be paired with my ipod. I am sort of happy with my MDRV6's but more and more I read these forums I get these urges (you know what im talking about). I know im missing alot from my...
