    Would like to start afresh with a new IEM.

    Hello, haven't been on here for a year+ now. I have absolutely no idea on what's new nowadays.   I'm getting a tad bit bored of my Sennheiser IE8s now and would like to replace these with something that has a bit more detail in the midrange and treble. I also have a pair of Grado HF2's and...

    Advice for a friend. Bassy IEMs for <£50?

    I've not been on head-fi for a while now and I've stopped the whole headphone hobby for about half a year now so I'm not up to date anymore. He says... "Bassy headphones (IEMs) at a maximum of £50. Mostly used listening to pop and synthpop(especially the latter... owl city/lights)...

    Derren Brown - Controlling the Nation

    Did it work for anybody at all? I have seen many Facebook+Twitter comments saying how it didn't work and that. Maybe it was because all the comments were made by teenagers...

    Little Dot MK5/MK4 or simply start off with EF2?

    So I've been thinking lately, should I just start off with the HifiMan EF2 (As my first amp), or should I just save up for a little dot MK5 or a MK4 amp? My current source is a MacBook, and I need something for my Grado HF2s, else I would be stuck with the headphone out of my MacBook, and I...

    Buying an iPhone 3GS from HK instead of the UK?

    So I might be going to HK for 10 days during Christmas time and I might purchase an iPhone 3GS. Now I just have a couple of questions that I am unsure about, but I hope some of you headfiers have the answers. 1) When I buy one there, they are already unlocked by law (to my knowledge). I've...

    Ah crap, IE8's cable is broken -_-

    I just stuck my IE8s into my ears and have noticed the sound coming from the left ear has gotten a bit quieter. It's very noticable I swapped the wires around (So left wire went to the right earpiece and vice versa) and the right earpiece went quieter. So now I need a replacement cable from...

    What should I buy for my next headphone?

    I'm just thinking of my future purchases. I've currently got a Grado HF2 (On order), and a pair of Sennheiser IE8s. I just want to expand my headphone collection with maybe a different sound signature. Don't really mind being open or closed. I mostly listen to electronic and rock (Indie+metal)...

    Using headphones as microphones.

    Earbud Microphone Probably a bit late, but I never knew this, and it seemed to work. Quite amazed by this, but just a general question. Does it damage the IEMs/Headphones in anyway at all?

    I might purchase some low end Grados to see if I can enjoy Grados, which should I go for?

    So I might get some cheap Grados (Possibly SR60 or SR80), but I want to know whether the SR80 have roughly the same sound signature as the higher end models such as the RS2i? But really my main target is to see if Grados aren't too bright for my ears (Seeing how I'm used to the Sennheiser IE8...

    Desktop amps...confused

    So I'm looking at the HD650, but people recommend desktop amps instead of porta amps etc. The only reason I have been looking at porta amps is that they're cheap (I have a small budget) Then people recommend amps like the Gilmore Lite and that's like $300.. which is just still way out of my...

    How come Grado doesn't sell to the UK? (Via US)

    Why is that authorised dealers such as headroom won't ship Grados to the UK or anywhere but the US? It's so annoying since Grado's cost so much in the UK (£700 for RS1i) If there is a UK dealer, which is the cheapest out of all of them, and would it be wise to buy in the FS forum if looking for...

    Ugh, deciding is so hard.

    Why does deciding on one pair of headphones have to be so hard.. =/ A week ago, I was planning on choosing the HD650's, but now I'm not sure it will suit the particular genres I listen to. Then after reading some stuff online, Grados might suit my genres but are way too expensive in the UK...

    Does adjusting the volume in tracks affect the SQ?

    So before I had the Bose IE and their sensitivity wasn't the best so I increased my songs in iTunes up by 100% volume. I recently decreased it back to normal volume, but I'm not sure if it affects the SQ of the song?

    HD650 easier to power than HD600?

    So I was comparing them on Sennheiser's website and it says both have a 300Ω impedence. Fair enough. But then this bit really confused me. HD600 says 97 dB(SPL), at 1 mW but the HD650 says 103 dB (1 Vrms). What does Vrms mean?

    Portable amp for under £100 that can power HD650?

    I might get the HD650, but before I can do that I must research a bit. I have searched a lot, but cannot seem to find anyone talking about people with portable amps under £100 much. So are there any of them that have good synergy with the HD650?

    Sennheiser HD650?

    New Question: Would anyone know which would have roughly the same amount of bass reproduction as the IE8s on 2nd bass dial? HD600 or HD650? I listen to electronic and house so bass is slightly important. Past Question: I know that the HD650's have a 1/4inch jack terminating at the end of it...

    Open Vs Closed?

    I know that they are both different, and that they have some advantages/disadvantages but could you guys make some points. Also, can open headphones have the bass impact of the Sennheiser IE8 (Still wanting some headphones) and are there many disadvantages for open headphones (Except sound leakage)

    Which makes would you think are best for these genres?

    So I now put aside the portable headphone decision, and am currently choosing which full sized headphone might suit me. So could anyone list me a few makes (Or phones) that suit my listening preferences? I listen to J-pop (So vocals are a main thing here, would love for them to be either...

    How does the LOD out of an iPod touch 1G compare to the HP?

    Well all I know is that the LOD is significantly better than the iPod touch 1G's headphone out, but what makes it sound better? Is the mids more in your face, quality is overall better?
