    Looking for shallow-insertion IEMs.

    Looking for shallow insertion, preferably sub-$100. http://www.last.fm/user/ladyEumelia is an example of what I listen to on a day to day basis. Mostly brighter recordings, with midrange emphasis, and a lot of vocal emphasis. I do listen to a fair bit of hardcore stuff like hard dance...

    Looking for full-sized headphones that are particularly good at vocals.

    Hello, all. I'm looking for a full sized headphone with an emphasis on vocal reproduction. Think the spider real voice, as a full sized can as an example.

    Cable/Plug choices, and Dampening.

    I've ghetto-fixed my broken HSA Golden Crystals with some jank cable from stock earbuds, but I'm worried that it might actually be affecting the quality. The cord is exceptionally long, and the contacts are razor thin. Secondly, I lost the dampening foam that was inside the soundchamber. I'm...

    I need pictures of the insides of the Koss Pro DJ 200.

    I got my hands on a pair of Koss Pro DJ 100 for free. I wish to mod them to have removable cable. The Stereo/Mono switch complicates things. I want to see what the inside of a Pro 200 looks like.

    Grado sr60i quarter mod: did I expose too much of the driver?

    Clarity, and detail seems less profound. I don't have another pair of stock comfys, or senn pads to confirm if I modded too heavily, or if I have just adjusted to the sound. Mids seem less profound, and hats/crashes are less easily detected in casual listening. There's noticeably less impact on...

    A Power Metal fanatics review of Grado SR60i.

    I had been eyeballing the SR60i for the past year or so, but money usually went elsewhere, mostly in the In-ear, and source departments. When money came along and I was able to buy a ~$100 can, I was looking at the Grados, KRK KNS 6400, and AD700. I eventually pulled the trigger on the Grados...

    I have a pair of SoundMAGIC ES18 which is great for quite a few of my genres of music, but find that it performs poorly with Power and Progressive Metal. I'm looking for full-sized, circumaural headphones, preferably open ones that are fast so they don't get overwhelmed by faster, and busier...
