Yeah, late but I am looking for a gift. Balanced sound (not for a bass lover), non fatiguing highs, good isolation, comfortable wear, the rest is optional. Nice would be a tanglefree and replaceable cable. Wireless only if it really doesn't cut into sound quality at this price point. Thanks...

Xip.org has put up a fantastic video explaining the basic science behind digital audio. I was impressed. http://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml   Have fun.

Well, thread title says it all. The K-550 are fantastic but with the majority of source material they just highlight how cold, harsh and flat the mixes are. Well, nothing you can do about the flat but the cold harshness can surely be battled. So I want an amp that ads a nice warm touch, maybe...

So I recently got into the topic of "objective" electronics contructions. Basically if key measurements are good enough, the whole thing will sound like a "gain wire". Or have no sound in itself. Now, that may not be what pleases all people's ears most of the time. Certain "sounds" are liked...

Okay, here's the deal: recently I was to a local HiFi shop and he was set to demonstrate what you can do with a thousand bucks, using a 200 Euro turntable from ProJect. And I must say, I was mighty, mighty impressed. "No Sanctuary" rumbled and growled and gave off a great live feeling with...

Hi headfiers   I am pondering getting new headphones but there is ONE thing that kills listening for me hard: sibilance. I belong to those people where, listening to a sibilant device, my ears are sensitive for hours to an end. So it's a no go.   But man, do many headphones have this...

So, half a year ago I inquired with BLOX about ordering a pair of TM5 from them. They said,   We hope we will have TM5 back in stock soon. I will inform you,Once we have them in our stock.   Time passed, until today. I opened my mailbox, finding a new message from BLOX-sales inside.  ...

Yeah, question is in the op. Currently have a Audigy 4, but just noticed that the output isn't clean. The 0 audio noise is a faint and very, very high pitched noise but I'm pretty sure this is what riles my Tinnitus. I can hear when I switch from 0 output to output off. AUGH!!!!   So yeah...

So it seems I am in the market for a dedicated head-amp for my DT-880pro(250). While the headphoneout from my receiver is fast, accurate and crytsal clear, the 880s simply don't develop pressure the way I heard them at the demo, which was with a pro-studio chain. Not betting on it being my...

Well, I always heard they were great for their price but aparently, it has risen quite a bit. If I look around, I can get an AKG K-710 just for €200. Then again, the opinion is fairly good. Warm, wellrounded, with a deep, fullbodied, present yet not boomy bass.   But since the price has...

Well, thread title says it all. I've taken a good look around, it's easy to get some nice earbuds but getting replacement foams seems nigh impossible. So I would be grateful for any pointer. Thanks.

Okay, so I'm looking for new earbuds, lost my olden, golden ones, got K-315 for a quick fix... beware and don't repeat >.< So I'm in the market for a new earbud, no iem for me. My prefered candidate should be simply okay in everything and bass with a good, bouncy spring to it, neither...

http://www.head-fi.org/products/akg-k240-mkii-headphones   I was browsing phones and looking at pictures and by accident hit "remove" instead of "X" to close the picture. And now it's gone. I honestly didn't want to do that. Is there any way to restore it?
