I love the sound of the HE-500, but I have a relatively small head, and after about 10 minutes or so of listening to music, my ears will actually be sweating. Would changing the earpads remedy this?   The headphone itself is also quite heavy, and I was wondering if it was possible to change...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new set of IEMs, and have a rather long story to tell, plus a few questions at the end.   I have done quite a fair bit of auditioning of different IEMs over the past year or so, and I have heard many of the BA earphones in the 3 and 4 driver category. I've owned...

A little background on my audio quest. I started out with a pair of Klipsch S4i couple of years ago. Then when I got more interested in audio, I purchased the Radius HP-TWF11R Pro and I liked them, despite the lack of a good seal because of the design of the earphone. Then, they broke. I...

Right now I've narrowed my phone choices to about 2 phones. The first being a Galaxy S3, and the next being the Samsung Odyssey, which will run on Windows Phone 8. I'm switching from a 3 year old iPhone 3Gs, because my music library has grown to rather large sizes, and the S3 and (hopefully) the...

Firstly, I am new to desktop audio.   I have always been running my music out of a MacBook Pro via USB to a Yulong D100 Mk2 DAC/Amp. However I play games on my PC, which I built for gaming, and it has an Auzentech X-Fi Prelude sound card. I am considering playing my music on my desktop...

I've done extensive auditioning of Westone 4s, SM3v2, Westone 3, Shure SE535 and other top tier universal BA earphones, but I never seemed to be able to like any of them. I have been a long user of TF10s, and I really enjoy their V-shaped sound signature. I always felt that the other top tier...

I'm looking to get the HE-500 or HE-5LE, but I've heard that their highs can be tiring very quickly, and I heard that Tube amps like the Schiit Lyr are good paired with it. Can anyone give any experience?

I'm looking to get a decent home-use headphone amp and DAC, out of my MacBook Pro. I'm looking at anything between 400-700 dollars. I want to emphasize that I value price to performance quite highly, and as such I have been looking at the Yulong D100 (MSRP $449, and its a DAC/Amp all-in-one) and...

I am currently using an iPhone 3GS 16GB, with a cheap LOD and an amp, and I am looking to upgrade my portable rig. (I use TripleFi 10s) but I am skeptical as to how much of a difference a high end DAP (which I am willing to buy, if the improvement is substantial) will make on the sound quality...

I want to purchase my first pair of customs, preferably quad-driver ones. The UE11, JH11 and UM Mage seem to be the obvious choices, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose... The UM Mage seems to have (reputably) the best build quality, and it's also the least expensive of the...

Hey Head-Fi, I've been using these forums as a resource for tips and advice and recommendations on headphones and earphones, but I seem to be stuck with a problem. I currently use the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (250ohm), and the UE Triple-Fi 10s with an upgraded custom silver cable. I own a Go-Vibe...
