Alright everyone, I've been using koss portapro for my lifting and running days, but now since I'm lifting in a public gym I need something with isolation.  I have a pair of Meelec M6 that I really like, but I can't use them when lifting because of the microphonics from my heartbeat/pulse goes...

What would be the best way to go about this?  I want the cable to be about 1ft long.    I did some searching, and I think I just purchase a new plug, cut the cable, and solder the wires into the new plug.  Correct?   What would be the best plug to get for this?  I've seen Canare...

I need to get my friend a gift, and I was thinking of getting her some vinyl.   What are some cool vinyl records I can get that look neat and sound good?  She's mentioned before that she's always wanted to hang up some vinyl records in her halls and music room.   I had my eye on Abbey...

I've tried every time, the only ones that seal are the black silicone tips and the triple flanges, but they don't block out outside noise very well.  Would foam tips isolate better?  Like the comply tips?   I wanted the super tips to fit, but they all just slip out really easily And the...

I just received my coppers from Amazon and I noticed one of the sides is kind of loose..    I can wiggle it a little, but it doesn't really seem like it'll fall apart.  Are any of yours like this?  Not sure if it's worth it to go through the trouble of returning them if it's no biggie and...

Pretty much I want to upgrade my RE0s.  They sound good with the metal I listen to, but when I switch to hip-hop or anything else I literally feel bored.  I want something that thumps and is fun to listen to; just a little more lively than the RE0s.  I mostly listen to metal and hip-hop, but...

My RE0s are slipping out of my ears with their tips, would foam tips like the Olives or Complys create a more secure fit?

I'm sure somebody has already compared these two players before, I just wanted to share what I found.   I did a quick test and I noticed the bass on the Fuze is a lot better. It just seems nonexistent on the iphone 3GS when I compared it to the Fuze.  The Fuze had tight bass compared to the...

Maybe you guys can help me out.  I'm looking for more music that sounds like this.  Maybe there's a "must-have" composer, or artist that you guys could recommend.  Kind of like the Slayer and Megadeth of metal, or the Nas and Beastie Boys of hip-hop..   Y'all know what I mean?  ...

When purchasing a laptop, is it a big deal to worry about finding a laptop with a nice sound card?   From the reading I've done here, it seems some recommend just purchase one with whatever sound card, but use a dac.  Would this be better?   I want one with a 13in screen, light weight...

So, I feel like playing the keyboard / piano.   Where should I begin?  This is my first instrument in a long time, I played trumpet about 10 years ago when I was in junior high school.   I can't fit a piano in my room and a piano would be too loud.  So I guess I would need a keyboard and...

I'm looking for another portable headphone, but I can't decide between these too.    Disregarding the size, which would you all recommend?   My music is pretty diverse, but it's mostly alternative rock, hip-hop, and metal.   I currently have the RE0s and M50s.  I like the way both of...

Hi everyone, I need to find some new headphones for work.  No IEMs or full-size cans please.   I listen to a broad range of music: metal, rock, hip-hop, electronica.  Stuff like In Flames, Blue October, The Prodigy, Aesop Rock, Sigur Ros, Bloc Party, Journey.. yadda yadda.  That kind of...

At the time I purchased these I knew nothing about headphones, so I picked these up because they were at a local store and they were cheap, $20, and I needed them for a plane ride and vacation (original apple buds hurt my ears when worn for a long time)   Now I own some RE0s, and I can't...

So, I've narrowed it down to the 8GB Fuze, Cowon J3, or a 16GB Sony Walkman.   Here are the main priorities I want in the player + Long battery life + High sound quality- will be used with whatever highest format I can rip my CDs into, but not FLAC, unless I can tell the difference, so...

I want to start ripping my CD collection into FLAC.  I am using Exact Audio Copy and I'm following this guide here. http://blowfish.be/eac/Setup/setup1.html   I followed it and got it set up, but when I go to detect gaps, it detects zero seconds for everything, except for the first track...

Which one of these services do you use and recommend?  I've been quite pleased with RDIO, but it's the first service I found to use with the iPhone 3GS and I completely jumped on it and have the monthly subscription already.  I'm not unhappy with the service at all, it doesn't give me problems...

Like the title says.  I sort of understand what lossless is.. a little bit.    I understand that some think it's worth to have all your music library in lossless, because hard drives are getting cheaper and it's easier to add and convert to other players when its in lossless. Plus, down the...

My 30GB, 5th gen iPod's battery has bit the bullet, it only works when it's being charged..   I need a replacement.  I would like to avoid iTunes, it always ends up crashing on my PC or ends up deleting things I don't want to be deleted I have an iPhone 3GS, but it's not really used for...
