So, I've downloaded a few of the top EQ apps from the app store on my 4s: Audio Xciter Accudio Afessa EQ EQu Sonic EQ Denon Audio Equalizer (very original people over there...) Equalizer Pro (no relation to the prior)   I'll do a small write up on each if anyone has any...

I am having an issue with my TF10 tips. While the included silicon tips sealed well, they were also uncomfortable. I got some Comply S-500s, which are comfortable, but don't seal well. They don't expand once they are in well enough, I think they're too porous. I need some good foam tips that fit...

Why doesn't a source + amp exist in one package yet? (Or maybe I'm mistaken) Thanks.   EDIT: Oh wait, it does, huh. Any portable mp3 player has a tiny amp in it?    

What are those light shaped glass things on high-end amps? For instance:   If they are lights do they modulate, as in shine brighter when they're working harder? At certain points in songs, or depending on the output volume? Sorry, I'm just new to all this, and can't find an answer with...

I currently own only one pair of full-size (ATH-M50) and 3 pair of BA-IEMs (Klipsch Custom 3, Ety HF3, and Brainwavz B2), and listen to all sorts of music - but primarily classical and rap (yeah, not a typo).   I'd like to get another pair of full-size, either a pair of either Sennheiser...

I was wondering why there is a positive and negative on the dB axis in many frequency response curves. How could something have a "negative decibel" amplitude?  

Hi guys, So, from March to September I went on an IEM binge mostly because my ears sweat alot and I love the portability of IEMs, and I sold my ATH-M50s. Now, in the winter, I'd like to get back into over ears. I love the wide soundstage, and the fact that the music doesn't seem to be...

I'm still quite new to the world of IEMs, and while I understand terms like decay speed, tight, punchy- in theory- I am not sure of practical applications. So what I've been doing is using a track by a newish band, Purity Ring, called Belispeak to test bass speed. I highly recommend it. Here...

I just tried to swap my TWFK Brainwavz drivers to the new Apple Earpod cables, and first of all, extracting the wire from the Earpods was very difficult. Instead of a knot holding the cable inside the earpods, as in many instances, the Earpod plastic is actually build around the cable. Second of...

Hey, I was wondering how much people's ear canals differ? I find it hard to believe that two random people could not trade their custom molded IEMs and not have a good seal. Or am I wrong? Excuse my naivete. I'm new at this.  

I was wondering if someone can define the term sparkle to me.  

My main, and pretty much only source of music on the go, is my iPhone. I was considering a FiiO amp a few minutes ago until I realized that I'll probably lose the headset functionality with an amp. Is that correct? Do any portable amps support iPhone headsets?  

I was wondering how people check for channel imbalance? Should it just be obvious? I can't tell if there is real channel imbalance or if it is just psychological with my Branwavz B2s. And is there any prognosis for dealing with it? Any and all help would be appreciated.  

So I just purchased a pair of DBA-02 in the for sale forum. I need my IEMs to have a mic/controls though. So either I'll recable, and solder the wires from a pair of Apple Earbuds to the drivers (as I did with my CX300-II) or I'll have Brian Goto do this. Since they haven't been shipped, and...

So I've just created a listing for my UE 600Vi IEMs on Amazon, ($99.99 takes it for the shameless plug) and I'm trying to decide on a new pair. The problems with the UE's were with the design (reasons at bottom). The sound quality is great though. I love armature drivers ever since switching and...

I asked yesterday for links to headphone review sites, and since the replies were so helpful, I have compiled a list. Hopefully someone searching on Google one day for something similar will find their way to this thread. All credit goes to TMRaven, Austin Morrow, and KG Jag.   Here is the...

I've been using Headroom for F/R graphs and other measurements and just now found Golden Ears, which I like much better. Are there any others I should know about?  

I am wondering if there is a way to determine sound signature from frequency graphs. The reason I ask is because I just purchased a pair of Ultimate Ears 600Vi (very happy with them, by the way) and now I am comparing them to the Etymiotic HF3, which I've received advice not to buy without...

Hi everyone, I just got a pair of Sol by Ludacris SL99 headphones for my iPhone, and am having an issue with the size of them, which leads to falling out when both buds are not inserted in an ear.  The different sizes of earpieces don't help to alleviate this problem. I can (a) buy a pair of...

I am currently sitting on a pair of rigged iPhone buds made from the buds of the Sennheiser CX300B MKII soldered onto the iPhone cable. However they are getting beat up and recently started pausing the audio for no reason. I just purchased a pair of Sol Ludacris SL49, but find them to be a bit...

Question: I am in the process of doing this with my ATH-M50s (pics to follow) but I cut the wire connecting the left driver to the headphones so that I could dremel down the plastic prong which blocks the socket jack I am installing. The reason was that I didn't want to break out the dremel...

 I lost a pair of IEMs I got from Best Buy a year or two ago, not sure which brand they were, but I found some today, and was wondering if you guys could help out. Here is a pic of them:     Another thing, I realized the impracticality of being on campus with big over the ear headphones...

So I embarked on a week long quest to find good headphones for a good price last week and using this forum, and reviews from a retailer's site, I decided on the Audio Technica AD-ATH700 and got them Monday. From the beginning I didn't really like them. They were too loose even though I wear a...
