Just wanted to alert everybody using CrossRoads MylarOne X3 that there is a little screen that can fall off into your ear canal. A very painful experiences causing a trip to the hospital.  The little screen is only held on by some adhesive. Evidently it breaks down from earwax/sweat. ...

Hello all! I now need to go purchase a new set of headphones, I previously had the Shure SE115 set, before that the Monster Turbines and before that the Bose inear sets. As you can see I dont like the crappy sets (but not the super expensive stuff :P ) I enjoy lots of bass and great highs...

When Maroon 5 came out with its first album I thought it was ok, but too poppy, Yesterday I heard the single "Makes Me Wonder" from their new album and I love it. Since yesterday I've listened some more of the album and I realized its not the album or the band that I like, its just that one...

I know they split a while bk but they r bk 2gether now, i have all albums, singles, posters, i been to see them 6 times. wow they fantastic  

I'm seeking recommendations on a "quiet" amp to pair with the UE-11s to minimise the hiss from the DAPs (Clip, D2+, and S9) with which I will use them. Thanks!

I've been looking at the 600 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880s and am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an amplifier to keep up with the impedance. Or if anyone wants to suggest something other than the 880s, that's fine by me, too (encouraged, in fact!), but I am looking for some decent...

Hello, So I've decided to go for the grado signature sound, and narrowed my search to those three cans {Grado SR80i, SR125i, Alessandro MS1i}. Thing is theres no way for me to test them and see which one i like the most so in order not to buy a cat in the bag, i ask your help dear internets...

Hey guys, I just bought a pair of black JVC Air Cushion phones; and i noticed that the model # for these isn't HA-FX66, but HA-FX67. Is there a difference between the two, or is this just an updated or alternate version? So far the only difference I could tell was that each buD is printed with...

Wasn't sure weather or not to put this in rock or pop but yeah, great band, never seen them talked about on here before so i thought I'd give them a look in, wild boys, hungry like the wolf, Rio, sound of thunder etc. great stuff, any fans?  favorite songs and so on...  

Breathlessly Brett is a great pop album, it probably would've been really popular if it weren't for a mix-up with the record company and a pretty horrible appearance on the Russell Harty Show. The Va Va Va Voom/Space Ace single should've been in the pop charts, they're both wonderful pop tunes. ...

I've got a really simple question. If I use an external DAC as a sound card, will I still be able to use the Foobar EQ or will the external DAC bypass the EQ entirely? Thanks!

Alright, so I currently have Sennheiser HD 380 Pros (54 ohm), which I mostly listen to off of my desktop. My desktop is a 4 or 5 year old HP with a 4 or 5 year old sound card. Now my questions are these: 1. Do I even need an amp? 2. I'm looking at Sennheiser 595s (50 ohm), would those need...

I'm having hard time to decide between monster turbine and monster beats by dr dre tour. my music source are cowon j3 and iphone 4, my old earphone was sony xb40ex which provide sweet bass and sound stage while i listen music and watch movies on both device. can anyone out there give me some...

I currently own two sets of IEM's, one being the RE0's and second being the Phonak PFE 012's. I find the PFE 012's to be warm and pleasant, and the RE0's to be cold and harsh especially in the highs. In-fact I find the RE0's to hurt my ears when playing rock. However the detail and clarity is...

Hey Guys what difference, if any, would there be in the sound if i use Soundmagic PL30 foamies/Shure Olives/Sony Hybrids? which ones are recommended? i'd like them to last long, and, i have experienced that, the higher frequency sounds that irritate me sometimes are lowered with the small...

My main question is what are the most effective noise-cancelling headphones that are as loud or louder than the Senheiser PXC-250? I'm currently a grad student and I live in a relatively loud environment. I ususally study to music, but can't do it when there are other sounds around me...

Here is a challenge to all you acoustic lovers: what are the best acoustic songs that no-one but you know about? The kind of thing you throw into a conversation, after which everyone does that kind of scrunchy lip-thing as if to say, "no, no, only you know that one..." I'll start. 1) 30...

I‘ve heard of the fastest talker in the guinness book of world records , but I haven't heard of the fastest guitar solo....I figure its a bad Idea to say whats the best guitar solo being that everyone will be biased towards different bands. so does anyone know of the fastest technical solo? it...

OK, I'm a little behind on the whole audiophile thing.I looked around, and even tried to do a search, and couldn't find anything here definitive on earphone burn in. I'm sure it's been covered here already, but is it really necessary? I get my NuForce NE-6's tomorrow and just wondering if I need...

What is the best (suited) amp for the HD650? Or perhaps, what are the best amps, at different price brackets? I have a Neco 9v V1 AD8066 with bass boost and V2 8610 (I think I got the opamps right). Also I have a MF V Can (stock). While I find that overall the Neco V2 is more involving, I...

Hi I am after a recomendation for a headphone amp with enough power to run the voltage hungry Akg k240DF and sextetts (both 600 ohm) I am thinking of the matrix mstage ss amp with adjustable gain or the bottlehead crack otl valve amp (diy kit) Also SQ is also important as well as power as...
