    Radiopaq Jazz.....what's next?

    Hi guys, Been away from here for a while and so many models released I'm drowning in a sea of decisions... Based on previous discussions I got myself some radiopaq jazz items...they were fantastic and just the kind of thing I needed. Tight punchy bass, clear MIDs and not overbearing harsh...

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    Yeah i know i'm quite limited when going with the closed option, i do have a selection of IEMs which fit the bill in terms of sound but been having problems with ear pressure and found full size didn't irritate my ears so i wanted to get some reasonable closed full sizes and then further down...

    NuForce NE-700X trial offer

    The reviews make it sound like what i'm after for my next upgrade but with only a couple of UK sellers which charge double the price of the US and buying direct adding $40 just to ship it kind of puts a spanner in the works for us in the UK after a good set of headphones like these.   :(

    Refurbished IEMs in the UK?

    Being someone who's on a bit of a budget but has become afflicted with this bug we all have I was wondering if anyone knew of any good suppliers of refurbished IEMs for the UK?   Most deals i come across are in the US and want to charge me an extra $50 for shipping.   Any help would be...

    NuForce NE-700X trial offer

    Bit slow on the uptake here, i'm only rocking the Radiopaq Jazz currently but have been listening to IE7s, IE8s NE-7Ms trying to decide where to go next as i think i'm ready for the next level up in headphones.   I like the Nuforce sound and the IE7/8s are a bit too far out of my budget so...

    Budget Portable Headphones

    What kind of sound are you looking for?   There's many options which have a good clear sound but not much bass, and then the very bassy options (e.g low end senn's) have a very muddy bass which keeps people who mainly listen to dub happy but that's about it really (tried my friends and it...

    Radiopaq Jazz Query

    Ahh thanks mark....i'll have another read of your review i remember you saying they go better with an amp but couldn't remember if there was something specific.   I found i can stop it by boosting the mids (found Mixzing for Android with EQ now unfortunately i'm quite new to using EQs...

    Radiopaq Jazz Query

    Hello all,   Been burning in the Radiopaq Jazz for the last week or so now and i do like the subtle punchy bass which kicks in when needed but doesn't drown out the rest of the audio.   I have found though louder high end sounds like cymbals and certain speech gets a bit distorted...

    Smartphones and SQ

    I'm using the Dell Streak (some love it and some hate it but mines working fine and feels solid) non rooted stock software but the sound quality is pretty good ( i actually posted to query if people found low end MP3 players to sound better than current android phones or not).   Inbuilt...

    Suggestions for source under £50....better than android?

    Hello My neice is after some headphones for her birthday which means i'll be buying them, she wanted skullcandy lowriders. Now i know with IEMs you avoid skull candy but i wasnt sure about full size phones. Now she listens to music like eminem and dizzy rascal (not my cup of tea) so it...

    Cheap(er) bass?

    I don't listen to Drum and Bass but for metal music coming from an android source the radiopaq jazz are working well for me, good bass but decent mids which you need for Metal IMO.   Buy em from radiopaq direct or HMV, they're on half price offer at the moment so 20 quid for now. Only proper...

    Ultra-Budget IEM's

    Right i've just given those tracks a quick blast on the Jazz....   I definitely think you'll be a happy camper if you get them, i think it gives the tracks a good honest sound with a nice bass line to really get you into it.   Hadn't heard of Kamelot before, just streamed the haunting...

    Ultra-Budget IEM's

    What kind of music are you listening to? As i said i just got a pair of the radiopaqs so i could offer some information on how they peform if it's with music i've got.   I think the PL11's were a bit more bassy than the radiopaqs but the radiopaqs were a nicer balanced sound but still have...
