I always come here to research headphone purchases. I'm a DJ and an audio nut, although I don't have near enough experience or knowledge to call myself an audiophile on the same caliber as many of the frequent posters here. I had the Shure E4C's for a while, and then got the Super.fi 5 EB's...

I've owned the Sony V700's and the Denon DN-HP1000's. One of the ears in my Denon set just gave out -- coincidentally just after the two year warranty ended -- and now I'm in the market for a replacement that I'll actually want to use for regular listening as well. I've narrowed it down to...

Does anyone have a sweet spot for these phones? Either completely manual or one of the iTunes EQ settings? I'm wavering back and forth on different ones for different recordings (probably makes sense that that's the case) but I'm wondering if anyone has found some settings that work universally.

Just received a brand new pair of Shure E4c's and am going to run them through the gauntlet on my IHP-120. A few questions: 1) How long does burn-in usually take? 2) What's the best way to burn them in properly? 3) What should I expect to change about the phones once they are fully...

Do any headphones exist that can utilize the digital outputs on players like the iRiver IHP-120? Disclaimer: I apologize in advance for the heresy this represents to all you analog purists...

Hello - I am a new member but have been reading these forums non-stop for a few weeks now. It seems that in the $200 range (which seems to be the best balance between being an audiophile and *trying* to be somewhat budget-conscious), the obvious frontrunners for portable audio sourcesare the...
