This is probably going to get away from me and become rather long, but in the interest of being thorough and getting the best recommendations possible I'm going to be long winded today.  If anyone sticks it out and reads this, thanks, and if not that's understandable.   It's been a few years...

I've tried 2 different microphone solutions to go along with my headphones, and so far both of them are just way too quiet.  My friends have to turn me way up when we are gaming, and they always say I'm significantly more quiet than everybody else who uses a headset with attached microphone...

So, my beloved SoundMagic PL50 are not working properly, and it's killing me not being able to fully enjoy my music.  One of the ears plays music much more quietly than it should (about 30% of the other one); I have no idea why this started happening, but I need music!   I loved, loved...

Has anyone else had any issues with shipping from mp4nation? I ordered something from them about a month ago, and while I'm a pretty patient person, it's starting to worry me a little bit. Does it normally take over a month to get something from Hong Kong, or is this abnormal? I've sent in a...

Introduction I'm pretty new to head-fi, and am by no means an expert in sound. I started out with JVC RX900, modded those, then decided to pick up the AD700 and eventually got the ms1's as well just to see what they were like. So if you're looking for an expert opinion of these headphones...

Lately (just the past few weeks) my headphones have been making this kind of crackling sound when I move. It seems to only happen if I've been sitting relatively still for quite a while (say watching a movie), and then stand up or something of that nature. My ears will hear tons of crackling...

I'm planning to write up a review between some of the commonly recommended "budget" phones, but since I'm still very much a novice around here I'd love some tips. I'm especially wondering if there is anything in particular I can listen to to properly hear the distortions along the different...

A friend of mine is looking to get a pair of headphones around the $100 pricepoint, and he asked me to help him figure out what the best choice is. I would have recommended JVC RX900, but he's completely against modding, so upon doing some research I came upon the ATH-AD700. He listens to a...

A while back I got started here at head-fi with some MEelectronics M9 in-ear phones (along with Sennheiser CX300), and JVC-RX900 (modded) headphones. Well lately I just can't stand how bad the M9 and CX300 in-ears sound compared to my headphones. Both are far to harsh, the microphonics are...

My mom is looking to get some headphones to wear at work, and seeing as how her initial impluse was "I know Sony makes great stuff, let's go to best buy and check", I figured I would try to help her out. She mostly listens to alternative rock, stuff like new Muse and Three Days Grace. She wants...

I'm wondering if anybody knows if there are any local places where I can actually try some headphones out in the Denver, Colorado area. While the reviews on here are great, I would love to actually try some of these headphones I read about so that I at least have a better knowledge base of the...

I'm looking for a decent microphone to use with my headphones (for both gaming and the phone). I've already tried a zalman clip-on mic but it just didn't work out for me (it was too quiet, annoying, and the cable broke after 2 months). So what other options are there for a microphone I can...

I recently bought the JVC RX900, and now I'm wondering if maybe a decent soundcard would be a worthwile investment. I know these are relatively cheap headphones, so perhaps a soundcard isn't something I should even be looking into, hence why I'm here asking all of you folks. So what are some...

I recently bought my first pair of IEMs on impulse (head-fi + online buying makes impulse buys way too damn easy), as I needed something decent to use with my ipod. I ended up going with the Meelectronics AI-M9: MEElectronics AI-M9 Hi-Fi Sound-Isolating Earphones I know I probably should...

About a week ago my headset broke, and so I went out and started looking for a new one. After a few hours searching for a new headset, I realized that maybe I should actually try to get something that sounds good for once, and after a few hours looking around I eventually ended up on this forum...

I posted this in the wrong section, can somebody delete it? Terribly sorry about that.
