    New iPod earbuds review (vs. the older one) -- Model No: MA662G/A

    A couple people wanted reviews on this headphone... so here it is. Intro: With the new iPod Nano, Apple quietly released a new stock headphone to be included with the new 2G iPod nanos and new iPod Videos. In fact, I wasn't even aware of this until I went to Apple's site to find the earbud's...

    Budget (~$100) IEM's for techno & gym?

    Okay I know the "recommend me headphones for gym" question gets asked pretty often, but a search couldn't find the issues that I've had with my headphones. First off, I've never owned an IEM, but I've considered some for on-stage monitoring. I'm not rich enough, yet, to own a $500+ custom...

    Would it be illegal to advertise an iPod with songs on it?

    Thinkin about selling my iPod on eBay. Would it be illegal to advertise it as: 20gb iPod, currently contains a whole multitude of albums - Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Pixies, Paul Oakenfold, Miles Davis, etc. etc. I will reformat the iPod before the auction ends at buyer's request, otherwise it...

    Check out DJ Krush!

    I've been a big Radiohead fanatic for a while (way too long) and while I've tried to find other music to listen to other than Radiohead, it's been too hard to find something that is quite as enjoyable. Why listen to good music if I can listen to great music with Radiohead? Anyways, I've been...

    How's Head-Fi doing? Post your impressions!

    I haven't been an active member for most of the past half year or so (disregarding the last couple months), so it's fun coming back here and seeing everybody's post count balloon while mines is still Senior Member. (nm, I mean 500+ member) Funny how I remember Lou (LTUCCI1924) posting around...

    Creative Nomad Zen UI question

    Hi everybody, haven't been around here for a while~ My friend has a Creative Zen, and he swears that the Zen's OS won't sort out tracks of albums by track number, and rather it sorts it alphabetically. I can't believe that Creative would leave an option like that out in the GUI, but I've...

    Coolest looking portable headphone?

    Not that I'm very into looks or anything, but just today I was thinking about the coolest looking decently portable headphone (i.e. doesn't require a tricked out amp to power, and isn't CD3000 huge). To me, the Eggos weren't bad looking, but messed with my hair, and it did look like 2 black...

    Nomad Zen vs. iPod quick comparison

    Did a quick review between my friend's Zen and my iPod last night, using a V2 Supermini + Koss KSC35's. We queued up the same songs and A/Bed them. Although the differences were very slight, we both ended up preferring the iPod over the Zen. 1. The Zen seemed to both of us to be a bit...

    Album recommendation~

    Ever since I saw Queens of the Stone Age live in concert, I bought their Songs for the Deaf CD and have been amazed by it. For lack of a better description, they have a very hard rock feel, but the singer's smooth voice goes very well with every song. It's one of those albums in which every...

    You know what gets me irritated? Bose!

    I hate how people come over to my apartment, and see my decent speaker setup (Diva 4.1/C3/R3 combo, with Denon 1802) and they hear it, and it sounds good, and then they manage to fit in "They sound nice, you ever heard of Bose?" or "These almost sound like my uncle's Bose set"...

    Has Head-Fi been offline a lot lately?

    I don't know if it's because of increased traffic or if it's just me, but lately (specifically for a few hours tonight) head-fi was down and inaccessable for quite a while. Down for anybody else?

    Good study music?

    I don't know if there is such a thing as good music while being suitable for studying, but have you guys found any music suitable for studying? I'd really like to study to Jazz, but so far I simply can't - I end up zoning off into some Miles solos or Trane. Electronica's been doing the...

    A few life questions~

    Recently I've become more and more disillusioned with higher education. I came to UCI as a Chemistry major, but I always aspired to become some sort of importer or business owner, and as I've been less and less inclined to seriously study Chemistry, my grades have faltered (still hovering...

    Good computer speakers or 2.1 system?

    I've been out of the audio loop for a while, and lately I've been noticing my computer speakers have been less and less sufficient (Videologic Digitheatre DTS). Whenever I hear a Klipsch system I feel very jealous - and although I haven't done an A/B testing between them, I really like the...

    on behalf of Team Search and the FAQ writers

    Dear Moderators, After browsing through the Features Full Reviews of Headphones, I noticed that you guys are sticking less and less reviews into here. There are dozens, probably close to a hundred full-length reviews and comparisons of headphones that are in head-fi that aren't stickied, and...

    Why does everybody hate Limp Bizkit?

    Digging up my old Limp Bizkit albums (Chocolate Starfish and Significant Other) I'm amazed as how much better they are over what everybody says they are. Basically, eveyrbody puts them down as much as they do the BSB or N'Sync. Overall, though, they have some good stuff - better than Linkin...

    How do I link to a specific post?

    I'm trying to link my friend to a specific post in a thread that's pretty long. How do I link him directly to it, rather than having him go through 4-5 pages of posts?

    Full iPod review?

    Seeing as how this is probably one of the more recognizable and widely used players, can we organize a full review of sorts for this player? I would volunteer myself for the review, but my iPod is my first mp3 player, so I don't have anything else to compare the audio, quality, or interface with.

    Help with EAC and ripping CDs

    I'm currently using EAC and the newest Lame to rip my CDs into mp3's @ 256kbps. What's come up a couple times, is that CDs that are listenable in my CD player comes up with significant errors when I'm trying to rip them to EAC. With a few of these CDs, no scratch marks are visible, and with 1...

    Which Beatles album to listen to first? (to get into the Beatles)

    I have pretty modern rock/classic rock tastes, so my first few experiences with the Beatles have been very... pop-y? Anyways, I'm more interested in the less mainstream-sounding stuff... Just purchased: Let it Be Magical Mystery Tour Beatles for Sale Rubber Soul Sgt. Pepper's Lonely...

    Clou Red for HD580 question

    Received my Clou Red today used off these boards from iano. Great cable, and I can easily tell that the bass has been extended down. I can also easily point out bad recordings very easily, which isn't a good thing at all. Most of my RHCP collection has been rendered useless. One weird...

    What's up with the HD580/600's on these boards?

    Looking down the front page and into a few pages of headphone threads, I don't see very many threads regarding the HD580's or 600's and even people recommending these. I see a lot of threads for various Sony and Koss headphones (CD3000, Eggos, V6's, KSC35, Portapros) and a good deal of Audio...

    Quick iPod question

    iPod owners: When I charge the battery fully through the AC and then plug the iPod into my firewire port, the iPod shows that it's still charging (and will continue to charge for a couple hours). Does this happen to anybody else? My only thought is that the Firewire port is much less...

    Any So-Cal'ers (preferably OC) willing to let me audition good headphone amps/etys?

    Like the thread title says, I'm interested in doing 2 or 3 more headphone related purchases in the near future, but wanted to try out some headphones. Right now, I have Eggos, Sennheiser HD580's (with Clou Red coming soon hopefully), and my iPod. I'd like to do some A/B comparisons with...
