Audiofly AF240 first impressions and reviews
The Audiofly guys dropped hints about becoming more than an IEM company at last year's CES and they are almost ready to make their full-size debut this year. The Australian company has only produced IEMs since they launched 3 years ago and they made me an instant fan with both the quality of...- hardbop

Recording Qualities?
Since I consider music to be the biggest reason I'm so deep into this hobby, I have become increasingly curious about recording quality. Which sonic qualities belong to the music pressed on the disc or vinyl, as opposed to those qualities which are attributed to pieces of equipment or the... -
What would be a good complimentary set to go with the Grado SR-225?
I think I've decided to get two sets of headphones, instead of trying to find a single jack-of-all-trades type phone to meet my needs. The SR-225 has my eye and ear after a brief audition, so I'd like to upgrade from my 80's. I've also come to appreciate how the Grados reproduce jazz. I would...- hardbop

Houston, June 8th Headroom meets Head-Fi tour
Since no one else has volunteered for the Texas stop of the tour, I'm going to do so. If it's between missing it all together or hosting it myself, I'd rather not miss out. The room I have booked is at my apartment complex. The details are as follows. Wednesday, June 8th La Mirage Resort...- hardbop

The time has come...
Do I keep my Ety ER-4Ps or exchange them? I really enjoy these canalphones, they sound great and they are even comfortable in my ears. I've listened to them 8+ hours almost every day for the past month, although the past couple days I've used to acquaint myself to my newly repaired SR-60's that...- hardbop

ER-4 and Tinnitus
Over the past couple weeks of listening to my ER-4Ps, I've noticed that my tinnitus has gotten even worse. I discontinued usage for a while, but it hasn't helped matters. I was careful not to listen to them too loudly, but I did wear them extended periods of time. I have actually grown...- hardbop

I got my Grados back from their factory repair
Except my SR-60's are now SR-80's! They didn't replace my old ratty pads, though. I guess I'll just have to experiement with the various aftermarket pads, then... I don't remember these cans being so bright. They were painful at first, but I've reacquainted myself to their sound again...- hardbop

Next Headphone Audition
I'm about to send back these ER-4P's, probably next week. Hopefully I'll have my SR-60's back before then. I have a few other cans on my list, but I don't know which try out next. What I'm looking at: Sennheiser HD 595 or HD 600 Beyerdynamic DT-880 AKG K501 I think I'm just going to...- hardbop

My semi-final review of the ER-4P
I posted last week about the ER-Ps after listening to them for a few days.(http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=113702) Now I suppose it's time to expound upon those thoughts. Since I could easily spend the next thousand hours getting to know these canalphones, what follows is a...- hardbop

Total Bithead input needed.
I've started searching for a headphone for classical, jazz and acoustic music, but I need an amp to go along with it. I started with the ER-4Ps, which are on order, but I'm also looking at several other headphones. I'll be auditioning them one by one, however I don't know what to do for an amp...- hardbop

Advice for my next audiophile solution,please
I'm in search of a great headphone solution. I only have the SR-60's and classic Airhead amp. Great stuff for rock music. Unfortunately, the headphones are out of commission (they have been for awhile) and I can't get them fixed for another month. I'm in need of a headphone that excels...- hardbop
