I'm going to spend a semester studying abroad in Helsinki, and I need a pair of cheap, portable, USB powered speakers. -They need to fit in my luggage(average size). -<$50. The TSA in LA is notorious for stealing electronics, so I don't want to risk losing expensive speakers. -I have a...

Besides etymotic ER6i's, are there any IEMs that isolate better than JVC Marshamallows for under $70? I'm amazed at how much noise it cuts out. If there's something even better I'd be happy to upgrade. Preferably something bassy.

Has anyone bought replacement pads for the AD700's before? I'm wondering if the pad includes the cloth mesh that covers the drivers, or just the pads only. If someone has a picture of the replacement pads, it would be greatly appreciated.

I thought, since you guys seem to be connoisseurs of just about everything, could someone here recommend me a cheap but reasonably comfortable computer chair? I'm looking for something in the <$100 range, but I'll consider something more expensive if theres a convincing reason. Durability is...

I recently got a full set of Onkyo home theater speakers for free. However, I don't really want to have full surround sound, so I'm only using the two front speakers and the subwoofer. Here is the setup in question: Onkyo HT-L970 6.1-channel component DVD home theater system at...

I read several reviews from long ago that said that the NE-7M's come with foamies, but it doesn't say that anywhere on nuforce's website. Am I right in assuming they don't come with the NE-7M's anymore? I want to know soon, so I still have time to cancel my comply's.

Hey, I'm looking for an IEM that can match or come close to matching AD700's for under $100. I listen to literally everything, so all-rounder preferred. I will be using comply tips.

Looking for a low power desk amp for my AD700, px100, ksc75. The built-in amp on my Mark IV is fine for my HD600's but will produce a noticeable hiss on my lower impedance phones. -Must have RCA L/R input. - <$100 preferable. $150 MAX. It doesn't need to improve the sound in any way, I...

I got a Radioshack SPL meter today, and those of you concerned about safe listening volume might be interested in this. These are volume readings from a Fuze on Normal Volume settings. No EQ. Using stock Sansa Fuze earbuds. The measuring was done by pressing the earbud against the meter...

So if sensitivity is the SPL gained per mW, and maximum input is the maximum voltage you can put in a headphone before frying it, doesn't the maximum input volume seem a little ludicrous? JVC Gumy: Sensitivity: 108 dB/mW Maximum input capacity: 300mW That means, you can theoretically...

How can you tell if you've damaged your headphones through playing at volumes too loud? I accidentally played music at earbleed for about 5 seconds yesterday when I plugged my earbuds into my receiver. I can't any difference in the sound so far, but is there any way I might have damaged the...

So today the weirdest thing happened. I noticed, for the like the first time, that my bass amp has a 1/4 headphone jack and a 1/4 input jack. So I was curious to see if you could plug my AD700's and Fuze in. First thing is, the soundstage disappeared. I suspect this is because the amp...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my Mark IV to a proper setup. I play from my laptop, so if there is no usb plug, I have to factor in the USB->whatever converter to the cost. My motivation for the upgrade is to properly drive my HD600's. I have heard HD600's on expensive setups and I feel like they...

So...freshman year of college summer. I'm looking for an internship to boost my resume, and I have no idea where to look. I go to school in Boston, and I live in SF, so alot of my school's internship opportunities don't help me too much(also because I was a freshmen). So...has anyone looked...

Anyone know what service Sennheiser uses for shipping in the U.S. ? Is it UPS?

I like everything I hear about this headphone, from it's sound signature, its packaging, its price, and its comfort. The only issue then, is the fit. How bad is it? They look awful and I don't plan on ever letting them go outside my house, so I'm only ever going to use them at my desk in...

Before reading this review, keep in mind that I can't stand IEM's, and I find headphones that most people think are comfortable very uncomfortable. Sound Quality: Extremely mediocre. The bass is extremely weak, I used a FiiO E3 to boost the bass, and its still weaker than all my normal...

Same price range, rave reviews on both sides. Can someone give me the pros and cons of both of these? I believe they're neck to neck contenders at this categories.

I have no choice. My sony's stopped working today, and I only have a few days before I get out of school. I'm going to buy a pair of Yuin PK3's as soon as I get out of Boston, these just need to last me through finals. These are the only two earbuds my school's bookstore sells. Which is the...

These things are selling for around 24 dollars at Best Buy's. They're cheap IEM's that come with several different sizes of tips, not to mention nice packaging, something you don't normally see with IEM's this price range. CNET reviewed it here...

Are earbuds theoretically better for your ears in terms of earwax and infection than such than IEM's, since they don't actually enter your ear canal? I've been considering buying the Yuin pk3 because I like earbuds, but I've had a history of ear infections in the past, so I'm not sure if they...

How are you supposed to wear these? Are you supposed to wear them tight, or loose? I find if I wear them tight the sound changes, but they're less comfortable than if you wear them loose.

Hey, I was wondering what numbers I should look at when trying to find a suitable amp for a HD600. Here are the specs: Sennheiser HD 600 specs and Headphone specifications - CNET Reviews What do you look for in terms of impedance, sensitivity, and voltage when it comes to matching amps...

Amazon.com: ath a700: Electronics Why is the a700 with double air damping 20 dollars cheaper than the one without it? Is the double air damping one worse in SQ or something?

Hey, those who own the 225's, how bad is the sound leakage compared with the SR-60 and px100? They're both open phones, but the SR-60's leak like 100x more than the px100's do. Are the SR-225's as bad the 60's? Can I maybe listen to them at the library without being a major ******?
