I'm looking for light weight/comfortable on ear or around ear headphones for a 5 year old and an 8 year old for watching movies on car trips.  We had some cheap ones from Target but those didn't last and they always were saying their ears hurt and the headphones were too tight.  Comfort and...

It would be mainly for connectivity.  And I would prefer to keep it as clean and simple as possible with my limited amount of desktop space.  I would run powered monitors when not using headphones.  I would like to use just one master volume for either the headphones or the monitors.   I could...

This is what im looking for... Vali 2 uber with pre-outs... I want to try out a tube style amp but want to keep it simple. Pre outs are a must have and are non-negotiable for me.

Are you sure those bose ie2 earbuds are non-isolating? The picture looks like they would seal the ear canal and isolate the sound.

It seems that ever since the IEM came out the non-isolating ear buds of the 90's have just about gone extinct. While the sound isolating IEMs are superior in most cases, there are some situations when I need an ear bud style set up such as during casual late night computer use for watching...

Quote:     is the s6 worth twice the price as the m6?  they seem similar is style at least.

im willing to sacrifice some sound quality to gain comfort and a secure fit.  even the best sounding earbuds do no good if they dont stay in during a run.

After running on the treadmill for a while and building up quite a bit of sweat my in ear monitors slip out and don't stay in more then a few seconds after they come out.  What are the best affordable options out there that will stay in and keep the seal?    I'm looking for lightweight...

I have a set of HD-580's and almost cirtainly decided to get a LD MKIII as I just could not find a suitable all in one combo (DAC/AMP/Preamp) that I liked.  I think the LD MKIII will be a great fit for the HD 580's as I love the warm nice full sound they give.    Since im a little over...

I did some reading and the Audio-gd NFB-12 seems to be a great unit and a lot of what i'm looking for.  So you think it is better then the NuForce and Fiio combo for the HD580's i have?

I'm new to headphone amps and DAC's as I never owned one before.  I have a mid-high end home theater in my living room with custom speakers that are audiophile quality that I use for some of my music listening.  However the living room is being taken over as my daughter is growing and wanting to...

Quote: I believe this only has stereo outputs so to get 5.1 you would need a decoder.  Not sure if your speaker sut up has one or not.

Are those Audeo iem's yours? if so, how do you like em and what can you compare them to?

I don't know what they are called but I have been playing several on stage gigs lately using Aviom systems for in ear monitors and I am just using a pair of decent senheiser buds but I have trouble keeping them in my ears as the wires pull and yank the buds out of my ears at times.  Im looking...

  Quote: I would be using it in line with a self powered 2.1 system with an auto sensing on switch on the subwoofer amp on the back of the sub and under the desk.  A pain in the butt to mannually switch it on/off.

I read through the manual and this whole thread and maybe I missed it but I need to find out if the analog outputs are muted when a headphone is plugged in.  I can't have the powered speakers playing while the headphone is plugged in.  And there is no way I can turn them off every time I want to...

  Quote:   I have read about this amp.  Sounds like a good one.  Others I have read about in this price range are the:   AUNE HIFIDIY Maverick Audio D1 Audio GD FUN Zero Matrix Mini and the Audinst MX1 you suggested.   If I did all my reading right Im pretty sure all...

So I am finally doing more music listening at my PC and while I've had my Sennheiser HD-580's for a while I never felt the need to get a dedicated amp for them as I didnt use them all that much.  Now that things have changed I am ready to take the plunge into higher fidelity at my PC.   So...

I have a pair of musician westone custom molded earplugs with the ER-9 button filters.  The filters are removable and I was thinking I could turn these molds into a nice IEM.  I tried plugging my CX300s into the molds but they didnt fit properly and didnt sound right.  Is there a nice sounding...

Hi everyone, Im a PC media noob mostly...  My backround is in Home Theater.  I have a very nice HT system in the living room however I never do critical listening of music there as im either watching a movie, tv, or it's too noisy in the living room.  I have my alone and quiet time at the PC and...

Im actually in the market for studio monitors myself.  I took a listen yesterday to the BX-5a's and several others.  For just a bit more $$$ the JBL LSR2325's and the Mackie MR5's sounded better then the BX-5's in my opinion.   I think I may actually go with a DIY project to fit my personal...
