    Monster Turbine Challenge - A Pro Gold Review (Yes, another one...)

    I was lucky enough to be selected to review the Monster Turbine Pro Gold in the Turbine Challenge and here it is! First of all I want to thank Monster for setting it up and sending me the earphones. I want to stress this is all my own prejudiced opinion, I can't promise an unbiased review, we...

    foo_covers.dll, does anyone have a copy?

    I'm looking for a copy of this component and can't find one online, i've never used it and want to see if/how it works for a wiki on the subject. If anyone has a copy please PM me and i'll send you my email address. Also if anyone can categorically state which versions of foobar it works/doesn't...

    Links to lines within a wiki?

    Is this possible? I'm in the process of writing a wiki and as it's getting quite long and most people probably wouldn't want to read the whole thing it'd be handy to be able to set up some sort of functioning contents menu.

    A Review: H2O surge pro-mini waterproof earphones.

      In the absence of any other sort of review this is one for H20’s surge mini-pro. I think (correct me if I am wrong) I am about the only member of head-fi who owns these earphones. I’d be interested to know of other’s experiences with them. They have a cheaper/bigger brother which was...

    Comply a-100/a-400 tips, Anyone used them?

    I have seen almost nothing about these but they look quite interesting. I can't find them on comply's site, but from this link: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/comply-foam-ear-tips-a100-charcoal-5pairs-prodid-1884.html it seems they are attempting to reduce bone conduction (everything you do is...

    Finding the time to listen to earphones. Big problem.

    I used to listen to my earphones during an hour and a half each way commute to work everyday, during any workouts I could fit in and the occasional quiet hours at work. However, i've recently got a new job and have started commuting by bike and as it's quite a busy route and i'm busy at work the...

    ALO sony LOD compatibility - Chart somewhere on the site?

    I'm considering getting one of these but as I have several players i'd prefer to know which one's have been tested as compatible. I'm pretty sure there was a link/chart somewhere but can't find it in the searches, anyone have the link?

    The drop down menu...

    This seems to have stopped working completely now, I kinda like the idea but since it was put on you could hover over and click a forum, all fine but if you go back and hover over it again it didn't work. Now it seems not to be working at all. I figured someone must have noticed this but it's...

    Any sailors on head-fi??

    Yes??   If there are any then I shall make you all jealous, guess what I was sailing over the weekend??  Admittedly it didn't look like that at all but no-one had a camera so I can't show any of my many capsizes, crash gybes, broaches and assorted other carnage. The wind was about a 3...

    Why do the one's without a warranty break?? Also how to get around a lack of warranty...

    Yes, I realise a direct answer to this question is fairly straight forward but nevertheless it is annoying when it happens. Two earphones have died/developed dementia on me this week. One is the Ultimate ears Super.fi 4 which I bought off ebay (no warranty) where i'm not sure quite which part is...

    I took my iem's on holiday this summer, here is how they fared. (dtx100/hf5/surge mini-pro/eterna v1/r02/cx271/super.fi 4/metro.fi 220/M9)

      This summer I spent three months teaching sailing off the Mediterranean coast of Egypt to the west of Alexandria. It was a summer I thoroughly enjoyed even through Ramadan and the vanishing act all the booze in the vicinity does (What’s that in the hipflask????). Anyway, more relevant to...

    What to do with surplus tips, any ideas?

      Does anyone else have a ridiculous number of tips? I have used quite a few brands of iem’s over the years and my box of them is now pretty full. Other than the ones on my earphones I have:   Beyer black tips          4 pairs Beyer blue tips            1 pair Comply t-100             ...

    I gave myself an electric shock today.

    Not having much else to do this morning i decided to connect up my new linestage on my dac and swap out the spst switch for a double pole one. It was a fairly simple job and I really should have been paying attention, however, when I was putting it back together I forgot about the heatshrink on...

    The Etymotic mc3/mc5.

    I presume you'll be stocking these, do you have a date of arrival/maybe a pre-order for them? Also has a Uk retail price been set yet?   Sorry to be impatient but I will be out of the country for most of the summer and wanted to take these with me and it'll be a lot harder to get them...

    The "Head-Gear" Section....

    I quite like the idea behind the head-gear section of the site, it has the potential to be very helpful to a lot of people as more and more reviews are added which can only be a good thing as it turns into a goldmine of information. There are a few problems I see with it though, which I have no...

    Pendulum - Immersion, Out Monday May 24th

    Is anyone else waiting for the new album from pendulum? I heard them live in about Feb/March and since the start of the year odd tracks in various states of completion have been creeping through the radio. The First single 'Watercolour' was released earlier this week. Track listing:   1...

    Using an ipod with foobar.

    I'm thinking I will very soon have to replace my ageing sony a818 and due to it's size i'm considering an ipod nano. Is there any way of controlling an ipod without having to install itunes again? Is there an ipod plug-in for foobar? I have been using foobar for several years now and don't want...

    The beyerdynamic dtx60/dtx80/dtx100 - A few impressions.

    So there I was searching the forums to find out if anyone else had commented on the Beyerdynamic iem’s when I found pretty much nothing. Well in the absence of an experienced reviewer I thought I’d have a go at a few impressions. The phones are dynamic driver iem’s, the Beyerdynamic dtx60...
