Budget headphones with minimal leakage & doesn't isolate (For Office)
Hi guys, I already own Klispch S4s and ATH-M50s and I absolutely love them. The problem is, however, that they completely isolate me from the outside world. I know many people enjoy that in their office environment, but I need to be able to hear if someone calls me from over the cube walls. What...- backtoreality15

REVIEW: Musiland SVDAC06

Weird sound upon powering off speakers
Hi, I've been an owner of the AudioEngine A5s for about 6 months now. After putting a fan near my laptop on my desk (and consequentially my speakers) I've been hearing a weird interference type noise when I power the speakers off. Right when I hit the power switch, I hear and feel a loud THUMP...- backtoreality15

is there a different between optical or USB?
I prefer optical because there will be less things to interfere with the audio output. For example: If I connect too many drives to my computer, all of the other USB ports get disconnected. I know this isn't common issue but it just illustrates the fact that things can go wrong with USB, because...- backtoreality15

Request for a test on the Klipsch Image S4
This album or track is known to be mastered poorly on CD from what I've read. I get distortion with any set-up and I'm using Lossless. I've had almost 100 hours of burn-in, however, if that's any consolation. I'd suggest using another album/track for testing. Could you PM me a copy too... -
Klipsch Image S4?
I guess I was misled on a post by another forum thinking it was an official statement. But he seems to have proof that this is the right way to wear 'em. Here's the link anyways: Getting The Most Out Of S4 Headphones - Professor Thump- backtoreality15

Klipsch Image S4?
Just stopping by to say that I've had these for about 3 days now, using them amped. Was going to get the Atrios M5s, but wanted to save some money. Mini-review: Initial Impression: Boomy, muddy bass. Lacked clarity in highs. Soundstage was okay. Was thinking about returning them. After 15...- backtoreality15

Ordered SA6...want Q-Jays? Need advice.
Hi guys. I ordered SA6s and are due in soon. I listen to tons of trance, but also enjoy other music too (Bloc Party, Sara Bareilles, R&B). I found out after I got them that the SA6s have trouble keeping up with fast-paced trance music due to the single driver. I also read that the Q-Jays perform...- backtoreality15

Resonance with A5s on wooden desk?!
Hi, I've been a happy owner of Audioengine A5s for a few months now. Previously, I used them with Mo-Pads on a glass desk and there was no resonance/vibration on there. However, I recently got a simple wooden Ikea table and there is SO MUCH vibration and resonance on low bass notes even with the...- backtoreality15

Comfortable Budget IEMs?
Thanks guys. I'm actually pretty sold on the SA6's after reading up on them. I love the fact you can customize it. Does anyone know if this is the 2009 updated edition? Sleek Audio | SA6 Adjustable In-Ear Headphone System | SLEEK SA6
