NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!   What happened to the HE500s?!  Where did they go?!  Hifiman, what have you done?!     Seriously, with no exclamation points, what happened to them?  I don't see anything in the new hifiman lineup that compares sonically.  The 500s were competitive with...

This won't net me any friends, especially amongst the other 1964 owners, but it's my duty to relay a brutal honesty to anyone looking to spend $500+ on anything I own.  But before judging me, understand that this is purely my opinion--and it should be tempered by the fact that I think the Q is a...

I need a decent IEM for working out and travel.  I have the Munitio Tek9, and my favorite set of cans to date are my PRO900. I'm selling the Tek9 because they don't really fit well in my ears, and they're too warm for my tastes these days.   I essentially want a slightly more exciting MDR-v6...

So these things are about what I expected, honestly.  I think if they were my first set of headfi cans, I wouldn't buy another set, ever.  However, they aren't, and because of that...I'm just not that happy with them. They are very good all-'rounders for a basshead on the go, I would think, but...

I'm looking at some entry-level hybrid tube amps.  I'm looking at the hybrids because of the current at low impedences...all of my headphones are 32-55Ohm (XB700, SR225i, US PRO650).  I may scale up the headphone impedence ladder later, but if I do I'll look into higher-level amps at that time...

Ok, so I was running through my playlist at work, playing with my new Tek9s (thanks, WhiteFang!)  I started jotting down some notes on how I felt about the song, and then just kept going.  There's no way this will compare to |joker|'s review, which I also recommend you read.  This is not a long...

I'm looking for a set of headphones.  My location precludes me from demoing...anything, and audiophilia is a nonexistant hobby here--the only cans you can buy for over 50 bucks are labeled by a certain over-the-hill rapper.  I tried that "New headphones here" thread, and didn't get any responses...

I found a used set of DT770 pros for $100.  The seller said there's a bit of discoloration on one of the pads, but otherwise are in great condition.  I don't want to overspend on this headphone purchase, as they're going to be travelling a LOT in the next year or so.  They don't need to be...
