Headphones with similar sound to Cascade Campfire?
I'm searching for new headphones and while I haven't tried them, the reviews for the Cascade Campfire push all the right buttons for me in terms of sound, especially around bass. However, the fit issues and the lack of inventory right now make that a no-go for the moment. Any recommendations for...- Ides

ISO ~$350 headphones with good isolation to wear over eyeglasses
Thanks for the reply! On a lark I ordered the Sony MDR-1AM2 mainly based on numerous reviews highlighting how light and comfortable they are. The isolation seems sufficient when music is playing and they certainly are light, although after an hour or so I do feel some discomfort on the top of my...- Ides

ISO ~$350 headphones with good isolation to wear over eyeglasses
I'll be wearing these working from home with occasional sounds of loud children just a thin ceiling/wall away, listening to music while I code. I'm somewhat of a basshead, but not too crazy in that direction. My last earphones were the Westone Alpha Adventure 6.5mm Mirco Driver In-Ear Earphones...- Ides

Thoughts on Fugoo Style S (or similar) as a computer speaker?
As I said above, I was looking for a single speaker solution, not a pair of stereo speakers. Also, just ordered a JBL Charge 3. A little bigger than I originally intended, but fits fine underneath my displays (on arms) and will probably go with me other places from time to time so nice to have... -
Thoughts on Fugoo Style S (or similar) as a computer speaker?
I do not need this to be anything other than a computer speaker, so one input is plenty. All I want is a single smallish, good looking amplified speaker that I can send my computer's audio into when not using my full fledged stereo system. -
Thoughts on Fugoo Style S (or similar) as a computer speaker?
Thanks for the reply. I've already got a pretty awesome 2.1 audio system in my home office, and my computer is wired into it, but I feed that stereo music mainly from a separate media player (a squeezebox 3) and turntable. There are lots of times when I am playing music from my SB3 but also need... -
Thoughts on Fugoo Style S (or similar) as a computer speaker?
I want a smallish single speaker for my home office computer that can sit on my desk underneath my displays and basically just sound a whole lot better than my tinny monitor internal speakers. Audio for my computer generally means frequent videos, daily videoconferencing, and occasional...- Ides

dual display setup - too wide for speakers?
I'm thinking of adding a second monitor to my office computer setup, but worried that I'll have to give up my desktop speakers, as the width of the two displays (primary 32", secondary 24") will be pretty wide for my sitting position. Even if not "textbook perfect", could this still be ok, or...- Ides

new AudioEngine HD3 speakers - stupid to be tempted by these?
What do you all think of the new audioengine hd3 speakers? They're essentially the A2+ with nicer cabinet, a grill, front volume control, a supposedly robust headphone amp, and wireless built in. Apart from the wireless which I don't really need, those specs match up pretty much exactly with...- Ides

Recommendations for sub $300 desktop headphone amp with multiple inputs?
Looks like that one only has one input. Have been looking even more since I posted, and am discouraged there seem to be none in my price range that work for me. I have found a few that have multiple inputs but those don't have RCA jacks which I need for my turntable.- Ides

Recommendations for sub $300 desktop headphone amp with multiple inputs?
I'm considering buying Sennheiser HD600's to use with my turntable and MacBook Pro and need a headphone amp to complete the system. I have a decent phono preamp for the turntable and a six year old but working HRT MusicStreamer II that I could use with my laptop (or alternatively get a headphone...- Ides

Wearing custom in ear headphones at work
I work in an open workspace where it is common and accepted to wear headphones. I wear them myself at least 4-5 hours a day. My TF10's recently broke and the only way to reliably salvage them is to reshell into custom. However I'm concerned about how well these will work for my planned usage of...- Ides

Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread
Debating what to do with my recently broken TF10's. I really love them and was heartbroken when I accidentally broke the internal wiring connection on one side last month. I emailed a one-man-shop headphone repair service that I found through this forum but the guy said this was a dicey job and...- Ides

Recommendation for person/shop to repair TF10 with broken wiring
I'm hoping this is a straightforward repair for a pro and worth pursuing instead of replacing these otherwise great IEM's. Any recommendations for a trustworthy person/shop to fix this broken connection? I'm outside Philly but will happily mail them if that's what it takes to get them to the...- Ides

Integrated Amplifiers and Preamplifier with Good, Great or Excellent Headphones Output - Contribute to a LIST of amps!
I'm sure you're right, was just concerned because my model is fairly old, but I agree, it'd be shocking if Cambridge had cheaped out on the headphone out of an integrated amp that cost $1600 when it first came out (although price was cut in half when it was discontinued alongside introduction of...- Ides

Integrated Amplifiers and Preamplifier with Good, Great or Excellent Headphones Output - Contribute to a LIST of amps!
Hi all, first time posting. I see the last reply speaks well of the Cambridge 340A SE integrated amp's headphone out, and am hoping the quality extends to the Cambridge model that I own, which may be older. It's a Cambridge 840A V1 - this was the original version that came out at least three...- Ides
