I generally listen metal / rock music and trying to get an upgrade for my pair of CX 500. A local dealer here sells these two IEMs, Vsonic R04 (not R04 PRO) and Etymotic ER6i. My priorities are highs, soundstage and detail. Bass performance is not important for me, I just want some good (as good...

Title pretty much explains everything. I'm buying a pair of HD 555 and Grado sr60i for a total of 120$ (they are barely used), and would like to know if I can notice the difference of Lossless formats. I currently use HD 201 and CX 500, but they don't help much as you can guess.   Also while...

I am currently using a pair of HD 201. Today I found out a friend of mine wants to sell his HD 555 around 70 dollars. So, does it worth upgrading to HD 555 or should I save some more money and get another model? What should I expect from HD 555? I need a brief pros / cons list.   Thanks in...

What's the deal with these? I can't find any information about these on internet. I searched the forum as well, again with no result. Senn's own website doesn't even list them. I'm asking because some guy selling it for about 20 dollars, brand new. Price is not very convincing but they might be...

I want to upgrade my pair of Sennheiser HD 201. Unfortunately I have kind of tight on money, I can spare 100 dollars (or 80 euros). The bad thing is I'm not sure about where I will use them. Since I own a pair of CX 500, I can guess I'll use it mainly on my PC. The most important point is...

I can't notice the difference between lossy 320kbps and lossless (flac) audio. I'm not sure what is the problem. I use ipod touch and Sennheiser CX500. Sometimes HD201 for home listening. Is it an equipment issue, or problem is me?

I listen to music mainly on my ipod touch with a pair of Sennheiser CX500. I didnt care about the quality of my music files until recently. I decided to take a step forward and upgraded stock earphones which came with ipod and bought some entry level sound equipment ( CX500 for on the go and...

First of all sorry for my bad grammar, possibly messed it up at the topic title.   Which audio format provides the best quality for ipod touch? I guess I should use Apple Lossless but just wanted to be sure. Secondly, I do not own the cds of my music archive. So in this case should I...

I want to buy a new pair of ear-canal headphones after a friend of mine screwed up my Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision pair. I was able to use it for a brief period and I was "content" with them, because it was my first Sennheiser earphones and I expected a bit more. Now I'm thinking if I should...

Does it really worth upgrading? I am using headphones for PC (HD 201) and some people say it wont make much difference with headphones. But I am amplying it with an 10 years old  2+2 audio system. Not sure if its a good idea but it should be better than directly plugging headphones to pc.  ...

Hello. I am a newbie about headphones, amps, sound equipment and other hi-fi things and have a few questions. Probably these questions were asked hundreds of times but despite all my efforts i couldn't find the answers I like, so i decided to sign up and ask myself directly.   My main...
