Just Can't Find the Right Headphones for Me
Hey: I've had so many headphones over the years and just can't find the right ones. One of my all-time favorites with the Etymotic ER4S. I absolutely loved the accuracy, but they were too "cold" for my tastes. The bass response was weak, the sound stage was too narrow, and the comfort was...- domino584

Thinking of selling some gear.
I'm really interested in selling some gear. Never done before. I got a Fiio x3 Gen 2 (no box), with a 64 Gb SD card, and a MeeAudio P1. I was thinking of selling all 3 for 250 CAD plus the shipping cost. I have no accessories or extra cables. Would that be a good price for all 3? Should I...- domino584

Polk Audio Nue Voe IEMs?
I can't find any good reviews on these. Right now, they are on clearance at a local shop for 63 bucks and wondering if they are worth it? How do they stack up to things like the Q701s, ER4S, and Shure 435s?- domino584

Is there a way to make the Grado SR80e More Comfortable?
I just got my pair in from a massdrop sale yesterday. So far, I'm really enjoying the grado sound. But, I wear glasses and they hurt. Losing up the clamping force helped, but not as much as I would like. Are there any suggestions on what I could do? Cheers...- domino584

Looking for some $200 (CAD) or under Studio Monitors
For a moment I thought the JBL LSR305s came in a pair for ~200 bucks, but that was for each monitor. I'm currently looking at either the Kanto YU2s or the M-Audio AV40s. The Audioengine A2+ are just out of my budget. Any suggestions? Bass extension is not as important as the quality. ...- domino584

Understanding "Detail" in a Headphone Review?
I come across numerous terms that just don't make sense to me.

Android PowerAmp sounds crappy?

Looking at the Cowon C2 + Hifiman RE Zeroes
I'm hearing good things about the audio quality of the C2, but I was wondering what these forums think of it? I listen to primiarly folk and hard rock (mostly 70s-early 90s). Most of the formats I'll be using is FLAC or other lossless codecs. If paired with the Zeroes, would it be a great...- domino584

General Questions on Headphones
I wear hand cream a lot. If I touch the 3.5mm or 2.5mm connectors while touching hand cream, is it going to damage the headphones or distort the audio (3.5mm into the source and 2.5mm in the headphone itself). I'm also wondering what types of hats I can wear that won't have a static...- domino584

Equalizer Settings for Rock Music on the Shure940?
I'm enjoying these. The detail is very nice, a lot nicer then my old hd555s even though my shure940s aren't being driven properly yet. The only problem I'm having with them, is that, while I'm listening to rock music, such as bon jovi, the guitar is always a little laid back. While gaming...- domino584

Which bit-rate to use for gaming?
I've read around and it looks like you want your windows' audio settings to match the playback being used. For example, if you are playing audio through a CD, you want your settings to be 16-bit 44.1 KHz to match the bit-stream. Before I used to think if you just pick the best setting (24-bit...- domino584
