Mod House Audio is close to releasing a newly developed planar magnetic open back headphone called the Tungsten. Very few details are known at this point, but the price is rumored to be $1500 for the single-sided magnet version and $2000 for the double-sided magnet version. Prices could change...

I feel obligated to start a thread for this guy’s shop on Etsy. His hand-made headphone stands are incredible for the price. He has an ever-changing selection of beautiful woods, and he even ships these hefty stands for free from Ukraine! Here’s a link to his Etsy storefront: Borykworkshop...

Hey Head-Fi, I know many of you are music lovers like me, so I wanted to put the word out on a great music festival that is coming up in May. It's going to be right on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama with an amazing line-up of performers. I live pretty close to the event, so it's a no...

Hi, I haven't been able to use my im716 for a while because my cat decided to chew on the cable above the y-split. I was wondering if anyone could re-cable these phones with the cable from some iBuds. I have some lying around, and I would love to get my im716 functioning again. If anyone...

Hi, I have recently acquired the im716 after selling my UM2's. So far I really like the sound, but I have obviously noticed the drop in bass quantity from my last phones. I am using Rockbox on my 5g iPod, so I was wondering what you all are using as far as EQ settings go, to make the im716...

As many may have noticed, there is a sponsored thread selling the Yuin PK1 and Minibox-E combination for $249. This is a great deal for someone interested in both the amp and PK1. I have never had a headphone amp, so this would be my first purchase. My source will be a 5th gen. iPod Video...

Hi, I have a 4G iPod Photo 40gb and I am having quite an ordeal with my battery. About a month ago I started noticing that my battery wasn't lasting near as long as it used to. Not just that, but my battery would drain to nothing while the iPod was turned off. I have since then replaced...

Hi, I have a pair of Koss KSC35's and they are not working well right now. It seems like there is a problem with the wires because the sound goes "in and out". I thought about sending them back to Koss for warranty service, but I hear they send you a pair of KSC75's as a replacement.I already...

Hi, I have just switched to Rockbox recently, and I find the sound much better than the stock firmware on my 4g iPod Photo. I use the simple treble/bass settings to adjust the sound, and I have found the sweet spot at Treble +5 and Bass +0. This really helps the UM2's much better than the...

I recently discovered the vast improvement of using the line-out on my 4g iPod, even when using only a Pocktdock and in-line attenuator for volume control with my UM2's. This has lead me to reconsider getting an amp. What is the best match for the UM2's that is between about $75 and $200? I'd...

Hi Everyone, I have been daily visiting this forum for quite a while now. The major effect of this has been my purchase of the Westone UM2's. I have been impressed with them from the beginning, but I have always tried to find out (mostly from reading threads here) how to get the most out of...

I know this may come as a rare opinion, but let me explain. I have Westone UM2's which are considered "bass-heavy" IEM's. They sound quite good on my 40gb iPod Photo. The bass roll-off is not noticable to me with the UM2's. The other sound defects that plague the 4G iPod have been dealt with...

Hi, After months of reading and researching I think I have decided to purchase the Westone UM2 to go with my 40gb iPod Photo. Lately I have been trying to find the best price. I saw the seller on eBay, but I wanted to make sure I bought from somewhere with good customer service. I found a...

I am considering the purchase of some Westone UM2's to go with my iPod. I want to know if the ES2's are that much better than UM2's outfitted with custom molds. I definately cannot afford the ES2's, but I may be able to save up and order custom molds for the UM2's. Thanks, CK

Hi, I am currently trying the decide whether or not to purchase the Westone UM2's for my 40gb iPod Photo. I have already owned the Er6i's and I was able to hear very evident sound distortion (especially in piano solos) when listening through the headphone-out. The problem completely...

Hi, First of all I would like to say that I am adicted to Head-Fi. I check out the new posts a few times a day, and search for any topic I need an answer to. I often get more questions, but I enjoy the learning process. Anyway, I have an iPod Photo and have been using the Ety Er6i's with it...

Hi Everyone, I have been a spectator at Head-Fi for quite some time now, but I finally have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. I have an iPod Photo and Ety Er6i's. There is a documented sound defect in the iPod Photo that is particularily noticable with low impedence earphones...
