    Upgrade from skullcandy SLYR

    I got the Skullcandy SLYR headphones a couple years ago dirt cheap ($25, used, without the mixer/accessories) after reading recommendations in the gaming headphones thread and they are my current favorite phones for listening to rap as well as for stuff with more vocals like Rilo Kiley and the...

    Cheap fix for loose KSC75 plastic joint?

    I'm on my third pair of ksc75's (others were broken and/or lost) and have been on this pair for a few years now and its lasted through my repairs and clip replacements.

    Any successor to ATH-WS99? Any comparisons to DT770 and HD595?

    It's been a while since I've last posted but since the headphones I've been wanting are now discontinued and somewhat cheaper, I thought I'd get back into my old hobby.   In recent years I've stuck to my KSC75's and my JVC in-ears (air cushions were discontinued so i picked up the bassy 101X...

    Finally made my next big purchase since my headphone addiction began (DT 990 Pro & D2000)

    I started my headphone journey a little over 10 years ago when I was searching the web for a good pair of DJ headphones. At the time, I couldn't afford the Sennheiser HD-25 II as I worked a summer job and spent most of my cash on my actual DJ setup (and lots of records). The next headphone that...

    My old Technics 1200 Mk2's...repair or replace?

    I'm getting serious about resurrecting my Technics SL-1200Mk2's which I bought used (crappy gold spray paint finish included) about 10 years ago but I'm not sure whether or not I should just sell these and move on to some decks in better condition. They've been sitting at my parents' house...

    Need help with all-around headphone purchase for use with Fiio E7

    First some background as usual, skip ahead 4-5 paragraphs if you'd like. Yeah, I like to be thorough so my questions aren't answered with more questions:   My most expensive headphones (also my first purchase) are my Senn HD 280's from almost 10 years ago (they were bought for DJing purposes...

    ~$200 speaker recommendations for a kenwood ka-7100 amp

    i know these topics come up all the time, but i'm wondering if anyone has my same amp and has found good budget speakers with good synergy. i'm still relatively new to this hobby, though i've done a good amount of research/lurking in the headphone sections. i listen to classic and 90's rock...

    is it possible to use a soundcard and onboard sound at the same time?

    i'm buying new parts for my computer and i've been having trouble choosing a motherboard. i currently have an SB Live 5.1 card and will probably use this on my next system. instead of buying another card for listening to music, i'm wondering if a motherboard (in particular, the albatron...
