    Beginning speaker help! Amp vs Reciever

    Hello guys, today is Christmas and I received some Insignia Bass Reflex bookshelf speakers as a gift. I'm pumped to use them, although I need to buy an amplifier or a receiver and I'm really at a crossroads as to which one will get superior sound quality in the budget price range. I'm looking at...

    Hippo VB vs Monster Turbine

    Hey all, considering these two IEMs are now similarly priced bass "monsters" (no pun intended), I was wondering we could have a discussion on which one is better? I've only been on one half of the discussion being a Turbine owner myself and I found not only the bass but the phone itself to sound...

    IEM for Working out - RE0 vs Hippo VB

    Hey guys, my TF10's are coming to the end of their warranty in December and as the months are getting colder I'm looking for an IEM that I can not only walk to the gym with but that can supply me with the energy I need for a good (daily) workout. After all, music is the best sports supplement...

    TF10 Uneven Sound

    All of a sudden the volume from my left earpiece is less than that of the right earpiece. I've no idea what happened but my headphones were not always like this. Is this a common/easily fixable problem or will I have to resort to warranty? Thanks guys.

    How do you keep your headphone cables over your ears?

    I had trouble keeping my Monster Turbine cables over my ears, so I wore them down; Just a little microphonics, not a big deal. My TF10's stay around my ears due to the memory wire, win. Now, enter my SE530- I love the sound and bringing these to the gym due to their low microphonics and high...

    Monster Turbines lost sound in right ear

    This is the second pair of Turbines I've had with this problem: My last pair would have sound if I moved the cable around a bit by the connector, but this one doesn't have sound when I fiddle around with the cables. I sold my last broken pair and the guy I sold it to fixed it easily, so I'm...

    Why do high end headphones have flaws?

    With a headphone like the JH13 that is touted as having miniscule to no flaws, why can't other headphones do the same? I'm aware that more drivers does not necessarily equal more sound quality, and that custom molds help the JH13's, but for instance, why can't a flagship universal like the TF10...

    Will you/Do you miss High School?

    Well, I am a senior in High School, and time flies. I have about two and a half months until I end school and honestly I'm not feeling too good about it. No longer will there be a definite place to go year after year, and never again will my daily responsibilities include being in class with my...

    Black Eyed Peas- Meet Me Halfway... in production values.

    As I was listening to the new Black Eyed Peas song, Meet Me Halfway, I really started to enjoy it... I noticed a tiny bit of distortion along the way to the chorus, I could deal with it as I know it was mastered loudly, but once the chorus came along, Fergie's singing was unbearable! I can hear...

    Head-Fi Essay

    I just wanted to share an essay I did for my speech class on hi-fi audio equipment. I know there won't be any converts here, but I just thought I did a good enough job to share. If you have anything to add that would be great. Music: The dictionary defines it as “an artistic form of...

    Way to adjust volume with equalizer?

    I use my TF10's with a Fiio E1 amp, and although I enjoy the extra punch and "straight-forwardness" added by the amp, however the lowest volume setting is just too loud for an extended listening session. Is there a way to adjust the volume so that my iPod will start its lowest volume at...

    Can music with static ruin IEM's?

    I have some techno music with staticy bass and I was just wondering if this is damaging to the headphones to listen to; It's part of the music reproduction but I don't know if scratchy bass is good for them or not. Thanks.

    Fiio's with Turbines?

    I have a pair of Monster Turbines which sound good on their own, but they are very much improved with a good amp. How do Fiio's handle such a headphone? I am specifically looking at the E1.

    PA2V2 Problems

    I am using my Monster Turbines with my PA2V2 and upon opening the amp I tried it out using the included AC adapter; The sound was good, albeit somewhat warm, although surely a step up on the bass. So, I put in some metal hydride chargeable batteries in my amp, and the sound was weak and more...

    PA2V2

    Hey all The PA2V2 seems like a popular, cheap amp. How is the sound quality and is there anything better in its price range?

    Looking for an amp to drive Monster Turbines

    Hey all, I have heard that certain amps work better with certain signatures and I am looking for an amp between the 50-100 dollar range that will improve the sound (but has a volume switch, I don't listen to music loudly), making a tighter, powerful bass, good clarity and an increase of overall...

    Interesting question about burning in headphones.

    We all know that some headphones require a burn-in time to perform at their best. Now say that you burn a pair of headphones in on something like classical music, and then play techno and rap on them, would there be a difference in the sound as opposed to someone who burned in their headphones...

    Monster Turbines Uneven Sound

    About half a year ago I bought a pair of Monster Turbines on eBay for 70 dollars (new, no warranty) and really fell in love with the sound, understandably. I listen to mostly techno and hip-hop so the bass is amazing to me. Now, a few weeks ago I noticed if my head is at certain angles (I...

    Shure SE310?

    Hey- I have a question about the SE310's and anything else you can recommend for mostly techno music. I am looking to spend about 50 bucks (although I would be willing to go as high as about 120 or so if it's worth it) on a nice pair of headphones that would be a step up from my current ipod...
