Subbed as well.   So, is the general consensus that the Asian market is a better place for IEMs and earbuds than full sized or on-ear headphones? It seems that most of the discussion is related to IEMs, if you don't count the occasional Don Scorpio Dolphin or Somic mention :)   I guess I...

Not counting some horrid airplane headphones that I couldn't listen to even before I cared about headphones, the worst ever have been my first pair. They were a pair of Philips headphones that looked like the Fischer Audio Oldskool 70s, except cheaper. Even at the time, with them paired to a...

Probably either Senn HD650 or used Denon D2000/5000, and an amp. I doubt I'll ever get into real summit-fi stuff, I just want good reliable headphones and an amp that pairs well with them. And good IEMs, maybe Westone 3s. On the other hand, ask again in a couple of years and I'll probably be...

I feel your pain..   I've had the same problem, but what has helped me is getting much thinner solder. That way you have more control over how much of it you put on the connectors, and less solder means less clutter inside the plug, and less chance that the connectors touch. If you've already...

Don't know about the Tenore, but DSnuts was pretty stoked about the Zero Audio Doppios at one point over in the discovery thread. Amazon reviews usually suck, with Beats getting 5 stars and high-end Etys getting 2, but those might be worth a try.   If you don't abuse them too much while...

I personally can't stand IEMs while doing sports. If you don't have a problem with them, the MEElecs have gotten a lot of praise. I much prefer KOSS PortaPros, but if the gym is noisy, you're gonna want something with a bit more isolation, like the MEElecs.

Hey all! First of all, let me just start by saying that yes, I am a very shallow man who likes the way Beats look, and no, I'm not 15. Also I think Beats, regardless of how they sound, have done a great service to headphones in general, making a whole new generation of people consider paying...

No, not yet. I don't really have any tools of my own, and I haven't gotten around to borrowing a screwdriver from anyone yet.. Yeah, I know, who doesn't have a small screwdriver around, right? Me. That's who :P Just 2 questions: 1) What is the PCB and where do I find it, and 2) What color should...

Yeah, so I bought a pair of Audio Technica ATH M-50's off ebay for 120$, and I've checked that they at least aren't the usual fakes with the AT logo on backwards. Having had them for a couple of weeks now I tested a binaural recording off youtube, and noticed that the channels seem to be...
