    Basshead IEM: Yamaha EPH-100 or TDK BA200?

    Which should i get guys? Really what I'm looking for is bass impact and quantity, while still remaining great SQ through the rest of the spectrum. Looking for more of a warm+sweet (bass and mids) sound than just a bass monster or a neutral (bass and treble) sound signature. Or do you guys...

    Panasonic RP-HTF600 or Panasonic RP-HTX7 or Philips CitiScape Downtown For Girlfriend?

    Price differences are not an issue, I can get them all for $30.  Just a small christmas present for my girlfriend.    I'm leaning towards the Panasonic 600's as i feel they would probably have the best sound quality, but I've never heard any of these headphones.    Suggestions needed :]

    Yamaha getting ignored? The Grado Killer: HPH-200

    I came across the HPH-200's today online. I instantly thought of Grados. Spontaneously i searched head-fi for reviews and only found one thread, in which a few members bought them and said they sound better than the Grado 60's, 80's, and 125's.   Why aren't these more popular? I'm thinking...

    I Don't Understand You Subjective Guys

    Why would anyone buy a $1000 DAC when the $150 ODAC performs just as good in blind testing as a DAC1?   Sometimes i think most of you guys are just buying an expensive placebo effect.. just like $1000 Cables.   Edit: Please note- I'm not trolling. Explanation of my viewpoints on the second page.

    My First Amp. < $100?

    I have a pair of DT990's (600 Ohm) that i have just been running of my Xonar ST's built-in amp for awhile now.   I feel like a dedicated amp would be much better for them. I'd like to stay under $100, but what im really looking for is the best value (bang/buck). If that's a bit higher than...

    KSC75's VS Xtreme Xplosives?

    I wanted to buy a pair of roughly $20 IEM's for school/bus/gym/ect., but my instincts are telling me to buy a pair of KSC75's due to their reputation. At the same time though, these Xtreme Xplosives are super hyped and are getting great reviews on head-fi.   Which should i go with? (also...

    $20 Budget For Bassy IEM

    Hello all! While i already have a pair of DT990's, I'm on a tight budget right now for a portable canalphone or clip on.   I personally like deep, extended, bass with lots of impact. For reference, i find the DT990's treble a bit too sharp.   Thanks all!

    Extreme Discomfort with DT990's.

    I've had them for about a week now, and i still find that they are unbearably tight on my head. I also find that i have to push the headband forward to get them in a comfortable position, rather than having them sit at 90 degrees.   I was thinking about stretching them extremely far for a...
