It looks interesting. I might try it with my pfe. What do you guys think?

www.yurbuds.com   Apparently these guys are making custom earbuds (ibuds) from photographs. They cost $30 for the entire package, or $20 if you already have the ibuds. I'm not sure how successful they are, but since the insertion isn't terribly deep perhaps they can get a decent custom fit...

Note: I do not actually own the m50. They were loaned to me for two weeks, and this review is based upon my impressions of these headphones over this two week period. Note 2: I unfortunately sent the m50 back before I thought to take pictures myself, so I’ll give credit to google images for...

I'll start. Check out www.ted.com for a slew of interesting talks, debates, and lectures.

How do you most often listen to your music when going portable? For me, it's usually be album (although I sometimes jump songs), although on occasion I use shuffle.

Just like the topic reads. I'm looking for something that retains the general toe-tapping sound of the grado sound, while also managing to have much more impact in the sub-bass (no mid bass bleed or needless warmth) and better soundstage. I can make bass better to a pretty good degree on my...

If I'm a fan of Jesse Cook and Ottmar Liebert, what other artists would you guys recommend I explore?

Right now, my main set of cans are my sr60s. They are a fun and enjoyable listen, but there are a few things I would like to see changed/improved. Basically, I'm looking for something that, while it isn't warm or full of midbass bloat, has audible and visceral sub bass. When listening to Mahler...

I'm looking for a good gps system for a car. My brother will be moving out soon, and I'd like him to have a GPS. I don't mind buying used or refurbished. What are some good recommendations? I've been looking at the garmin nuvi 255 and 260, but really, I have almost no idea where to start.  ...

Another interesting, if not exactly thought provoking article. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8675050.stm  

Here it is. It's a bit old (2007) but in some ways that makes it even more interesting. You can read it, and see which of the predictions are coming true, and which aren't.

I'm wondering if there's some sort of relatively definitive way to determine how loud my music is playing without the use of an SPL meter (which I don't have). Is there perhaps some sort of formula where I can plug in a headphone's impedance, sensitivity, and the strength of my clip's internal...

Apparently Denon actually sells an "audiophile" Ethernet Cable!! It only costs a mere $500. I'm sure those 1s and 0s really give a damn...

I saw these linked in a different post claiming they prove burn in. I'm wondering if it is the case, or if there is something inherently flawed in the methodology used. How the Audax AP100Z0 loudspeaker drivers were broken-in and the T/S parameters measured. Peerless XLS10 10" Subwoofer...

I was recently wondering just why so many budget - and not so budget - IEMs lack a proper strain relief. Some just don't have one period. And of the rest, nearly every IEM probably under $60 doesn't have the cable bonded to the strain relief. Is doing so such a difficult and expensive...

I've had experience with a wide variety of alcoholic beverages over the years, and can appreciate why each is liked. Even drinks that I tend to eschew such as tequila, I can at least understand why someone else might enjoy it. But gin remains the odd one out. Just today I was over at a friend's...

Do you feel the need to upgrade even after making a new purchase? Are you always looking for the new FOTM? Are you happy with your current equipment? Me, I'm happy with everything I have now, except for my IEMs - those I'm looking to upgrade. Otherwise, I am content. Now, that's not to say I...

Originally saw the link on abi. Thought people here might find it interesting. And hopefully seeing that even high end phones use things like regular old solder and wires will silence some of the recabling crowd. YouTube - How It's Made Headphones

Just scroll down a bit. Incidentally, feel free to ignore the "el cheapo" $325,000 speakers, and just pity the poor audiophile who must settle for less.

Since winter will soon be ending, we can all look forward to more quality time spent in front of the grill. I propose that we headfiers post our favorite grilling tips and tricks to help improve our grilling skills. I'll start with burgers: 1) Never season the ground beef through and...

Do they exist?

With the recent influx of new universals, as well as new custom monitors, it seems like IEMs have taken center stage over portables, at least as far as attention goes. Question is, have high end IEMs surpassed high end portables as far as sound quality is concerned?

I am looking for an engaging set of full size cans to run from a laptop via the TBAAM. I'm not after audio "perfection" so much as I would like something that brings a smile to my face and gets my foot tapping to the music. I listen to alot of vocals, but also like various acoustic genres, folk...

I tried the S4 on the recommendation of a member (best buy 30 day return policy) and decided that the warmth isn't my cup of tea. So. I am left looking for a dynamic IEM in production that has a bright, though not harsh sound signature, with crisp and sparkly highs. Unlike most other...

This is more of a curiosity question. But I was wondering if any company makes a dynamic IEM that has a warm sound signature, yet still manages to keep a good (and even slightly forward) midrange, and those "crisp" and "sparkly" grado like highs. However, unlike a grado, the top end must not be...
