Budget is flexible, only requirement is that they are wireless and have that little thingy that goes over your ears to stop them from falling out(like these: https://www.amazon.com/Bluephonic-Mini-True-Wireless-Earbuds/dp/B075QCBZFN). They're for working out in a gym, so I guess noise...

I've got a Samsung TV that has an audio out that looks like this: https://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/img/gjYbdG_WpaglPDBiq0Tnpt1cY2Q=/770x433/2012/06/06/29f3c60a-67c3-11e3-a665-14feb5ca9861/07Samsung_UNEH6000_35159620_35159621_35159622_35159624_35159625_3515962606__3.JPG And a regular 3.5mm to RCA...

Great sound is obviously the main priority, but I don't want anything too big and not sure how much room I have for a subwoofer(does it have to be right next to the speakers?) Ideally I want stereo but if there's an extremely good single speaker out there that'd be great. Bluetooth support is...

I recently gave this thing a shot: http://www.amazon.com/Vogek-Headphone-Under-Desk-Universal-Conveniently/dp/B01C43KIK2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8   And totally missed the minimum weight requirements which the LCD2 are just over. It's exactly the kind of the thing I was looking for but...

I've been debating making the jump from the HE-400 to the LCD 2 since the connector on one of the ear pieces is going out.   Unfortunately there's nowhere around here where I could give the LCD 2 a go but I know they weigh a bit more. Numbers wise it seems like not that much more, but is it a...

So the left headphone on my HE-400 is starting to cut in and out, I see that the problem is that the connector has somehow gotten pushed in. It's probably fixable somehow but in True American Spirit I have decided that my best option is to get a new pair. The thing is I really like the way...

    Track list: 1. "Gemini" 2. "Reach for the Dead" 3. "White Cyclosa" 4. "Jacquard Causeway" 5. "Telepath" 6. "Cold Earth" 7. "Transmisiones Ferox" 8. "Sick Times" 9. "Collapse" 10. "Palace Posy" 11. "Split Your Infinities" 12. "Uritual" 13. "Nothing Is Real" 14. "Sundown"...

As far as I know, a frequency response is the recording of the total energy of a sine sweep. One frequency is being played at a time.   So I was wondering, is it possible that a device could have a flat frequency response, but not be able to handle multiple frequencies at once as well?  ...

So I hear a lot of talk about transcoding around here. People say lossy to lossy conversion is the work of the devil. Now the logic behind it is sound, you could be compounding artifacts on top of each other, but is it audible?   I found a song with some decent high frequency content...

The thing I really like about Songbird is that the playlist is whatever is displaying on the library. This means if I want to listen to a specific song and then shuffle throughout my library afterwords, I just need to search for that song, play it, and then clear the search so that all songs...

Statistics have now been gathered, but I will leave the files in case anyone wants to ABX them. The key and statistics are in a spoiler at the bottom of this post.   Hey everyone,   I converted and volume matched some files for a blind test. I'd appreciate your participation, but please...

So I was thinking about trying to equalize my headphones with a measurement microphone, but I have a few questions:   Is that all the equipment I need other than some sort of device to seal the microphone within the headphone cups?   And are <$100 measurement microphones adequate? I...

When I download and play the high frequency sweep here: http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_frequencycheckhigh.php   There is a second high frequency sweep going back and forth that I can clearly hear. I can hear it in foobar, Winamp with maiko wasapi, and WMP. VLC is fine.   I noticed...

I'm currently using a three to two prong adapter on my amp, but apparently this is extremely dangerous.   Anyone know of any other solutions?   I've heard of ground loop isolators, but do they degrade the sound quality? It seems like they could mess with the sound a bit.   Are there...

I have a Schiit Asgard.   The manual was pretty blunt on this(big surprise ), as it said you can leave it on all the time, but it also said you should turn it off if you're not using it for a couple hours.   Is there a general consensus on this, or is it pretty much the same as how...

So I have a bit of a situation here.   I'd like to hook my STX to my Asgard via headphone out to RCA to take advantage of Dolby Headphone for games.   The problem is, when I do this and play Borderlands 2 there is this buzzing noise present. When I switch from normal, to high gain, to...

I was thinking about getting a 4 foot cable for my HE-400's, and they seem to have the cheapest braided ones that I can find($90).   http://www.plussoundaudio.com/headphonecables.html   Anyone have any experience with them? Are they good?

I'm currently waiting for an Asgard amp to arrive for another pair of headphones, and I was wondering if it would be possible to run these off of it. I've heard you can damage headphones if you put too much power into them.   I know it's completely unnecessary, but I can't plug them into the...

I got a CD that states the following: "This compact Disc is ADES encoded. Due to the digital encoding of ADES. This recording has improved the overall audio rendering and sonic quality of this original Master disc.   For best performance and audio quality the original pressing of this...

Right now I have a Xonar Essence STX soundcard with amp, and I was thinking about getting an Asgard on top of it.   Would this be worth it? Does the Asgard pump a significantly greater amount of power?   I'm using it for the HE-400's.

Like will the Essence STX get as good of sound as any external DAC out there?   I know getting another amp would be necessary for certain cans but the DAC in soundcards like it is top of the line right?   EDIT: To clarify, I mean for listening purposes, so assume that the soundcard has...

I'm looking for a set of headphones for around $500. I'm gonna buy a soundcard with an amp to be able to get good use of them as well, but I've already got that picked out.   I'm not entirely sure if I want open or closed... haven't really used any open so I'm not sure how they sound. That...

Hi head-fi, newbie here,     So I just bought a pair of decent earbuds(nu force NE-700X's), and before I purchased them I sifted through several reviews and saw a lot of stuff about burning in. After doing not enough research, I decided it was a good idea to play dubstep for several...
