    MTP Device Questions...

    I've used iPods for over 5 years before I made the switch to a 16GB Sony MZN-A829 (due to size and sound quality) however there two festering issues. I am using OS X so the device just shows up on the desktop as a UMS device so that is my method of transfer. The way I manage music is by...

    WMP... it doesn't allow to retag songs ON the device?!

    Hi guys, it's been over a year since I last posted here but I have recently got the bug again. Anyhow, my 5G iPod crapped out so I went out and bought the NWZ-829 from Sony and I have so say the SQ is absolutely stunning paired with some E500s. Now, to my issue... What I would do on the...

    Pictures of my new vehicle...

    Had to raise the coilovers 2" for winter as well as remove the negative camber. These are the winter rims (old-school Ferrari Modena wheels), but I got some forged 17" Volks coming in for the Spring. Looking at these ones: http://www.nyxracing.com/volk-wheels...3068_4841.html Right-hand...

    How many 1/8" to 1/4" adapters do you have?

    Kind of a fun question... I think I've accumulated about 40 of these things. I think this just goes to show how many headphones a head-fi addict goes through.

    V-Moda claims that the M-Class generates 122dB @ 20Hz.

    I'm considering buying this headphone out of sheer curiosity. I have the E500s and SF5Pros but I want something expendable alongside the CX300s that I can take to the gym. I was looking at their site and they have this Remix M-Class headphone. This is their earbud...

    Is this E500 price a joke?

    http://www.tomleemusic.ca/main/lives...191&inv=119133 (This is in Canadian dollars and it includes free shipping.) Yet somehow, the E5C price is higher. http://www.tomleemusic.ca/main/lives...=191&inv=67022 I'm actually thinking about getting the E500s now over the Triple.Fi's if these...

    Reasons why I'm considering the E500 over the TFP10... am I correct?

    I am on the preorder list for the TFP10 Pro. Right now I'm being quoted a price of $420 which includes the international shipping. With the exchange rate as it is right now it will be about $475 shipped. On top of that there will probably be like $50 or more of brokerage. I can get the Shure...

    How many TripleFi.10 early adopters do we have?

    I just put my order in yesterday for the blue ones. Hopefully it's a blue metal and not just blue metallic plating.

    USB DACs in Canada... where to buy?

    I would like to buy a beginner DAC but I don't know of any places in Canada where I can take a look at some USB DACs. Currently, I'm looking at the Silverstone EB01 USB DAC and most of the online places in Canada that sell computers don't seem to stock this product. Any ideas?

    PA2V2 runs out of juice... time for something new.

    I am using some DT770/80s. I have the HD650 ready to go on my wishlist but I need to get the amp issue sorted out first. At high volumes and sustained passages with heavy bass the amp runs out of juice. The first few bass notes are ok but as they sustain onwards the caps run out. The other...

    Is the Sennheiser HD650 sound what I'm looking for?

    Mainly I listen to my Beyerdynamic DT770Pro/80s. Will the HD650 build upon the following criteria. -I want to have a little tighter bass impact however I don't really want to skimp on the low bass which I believe the DT770 excels at. -The midrange... a more prevalent and detailed midrange...

    How many headphones do you take with you when you travel?

    I am in Milan right now for a week and a half and I couldn't resist bringing less than 4 headphones (just in case some break... which is a low probability anyway). -Senn CX300 -UE SuperFi.5 Pro -AKG K81DJ -Beyerdynamic DT700Pro/80 To be honest I've only really used the SuperFi.5 Pro and...

    Should I throw away headphone packaging?

    Sorry, a little off topic. I have been hoarding the packaging from all the headphones I have purchased. The blister packs/boxes just sit in the closet. I have all the receipts for the headphones. However, in case something happens which may require some warranty work would the manufacturer...

    Has anybody ever done an earmold for SF5Ps?

    If so how does it sound? Does the mold go over the whole phone without extending the length of the transducer stalk?

    Hey guys is this a decent deal on ER-4P's?

    2 things: -price (they will be $180 + the $45 shipping to Canada). If this is not a good price is there somewhere in Canada where Etymotics can be bought? -WARRANTY! Big issue since I'm buying from eBay and I'm from Canada will this void the warranty...

    Head-fi Peer Pressure...

    Every second week there is a big rave thread about some headphones and then I need to jump on the bandwagon and get some. Anybody else have this problem? Currently next on the queue are these K701s that everybodys is nuthugging. In a week after exams are done I think I'm going to have to...

    AKG81DJ - Very very very fun to listen to.

    I read that big thread on the K81DJ and decided that I had to have these headphones. I drove down to AXE music and got them for 80CAD. Right out the box, they sound impressive. In the price range the nearest competitors you have are the PX-100s, SR-60s and the KSC-75s. I'd say that while...

    Dare I say that these $13.99 headphones sound more open than SR-60s?

    Here is the story... I normally don't buy cheap cheap headphones but I was going to the gym one day and I forgot my headphones (SuperFi.5Pro) so I stopped by Walmart instead of going to home to get them. I picked up these Philips HS820 on impulse... $25CAD @ Walmart. I asked the guy what...

    Upgrading from Grado SR-60 to... SR-225 or 325i?

    How much of a difference will I see between the Grado SR-60 to either the 325i or the SR-225? I am interested in more bass and a little more tamed and detailed high end. I'm pretty sure both the 325i and the SR-225 will do this but I'm more interested in bass. What is the general sound...

    Black foamies got discolored yellow...

    When I used my Sennheiser PX-100s in the gym I ran for about 40 minutes or so. The headphone foamies were pretty sweaty after. After they dried, they were a yellow like color? Do you think this is earwax from the outer lobe of the ear or was the dye just coming off? Also, on my Grado SR60s I...

    Where are the sweet spots in the Sennheiser lineup?

    I own the PX-100 so that's gotta be one at least. Most specifically, which models in their circumaural and supraaural lineups are worth looking into? The PX-100 sound is good but I think it would be a little nicer if the highs were a tad brighter and the whole the bass would keep up with...

    Headphone cost breakdown? Markup? Materials? Assembly? R&D?

    Does anybody know how the pie splits according to these categories? I've always just been curious for example how costs split up...for instance a $1000 headphone vs. a $100 headphone. I can't really fathom a $1000 headphone costing a ridiculous amount to build. I'd guess more of the money...

    I bought the RS-60s on impulse today...

    I wanted to see what the fuss was all about... what can I say? Haha... I was in the store for like 40 minutes swapping between the SR-80 and the SR-60. For some reason, to me, the SR-60 had more bass and resolved the high end in a more natural manner. The high end of the SR-80 sounded a...

    Which Grado is the best for electronic/hip-hop/jazz? First Grado purchase btw...

    First and foremost, the budget probably should be around $200-250US. For current listening I have a DT-770/80. I am looking for a sound that has prominent bass like the DT-770, but with a more refined midrange and high end. I have searched around on here and it seems that maybe the...

    Need Fun Sounding Headphone

    I feel like buying some new ones to build up my circumaural collection. I already have all the IEMs I need (UE SF5P, Senn CX 300, Sony MDR-EX51LP, Pana HJE-50S). I'd describe all of these as fun sounding except the Pana. Currently for non-IEMs for reference I have the DT-770Pro-80 and the...
