Hello all, while I am currently enjoying my newbie head-fi life, a friend of mine has asked me if I could recommend him a canalphone or an earbud, that he can use outside. Now, this guy has used koss PortaPro's for quite a while, and he realized that headphones are too annoying to be used on...

Hi, Head-Fi'ers, I'm considering buying a pair of used SR-225s for about 150 or lower, and I'm wondering if they are good for electronica. They don't necessarily have to be "great", because I also listen to a bunch of other stuff. W/E, the question today is are SR-225's good for...

Hello Head-Fiers, ----- Unnecessary stuff: slow readers go directly to the question part ------- it seems that everyday I get a different question about being hi-fi and stuff.. And I still don't even have any nice rig Since I'm in the kind of situation where you can't really bring...

BTW, I am morelike talking about portables here.. I can't buy those big boxes and put them in my room, unfortunately

Hello, Head-Fiers, Recently I've been curious about priority matters. My question today is: What should I get first among the cans, the amp or the source? For example, should I buy cans first and stick to it and buy an amp and then buy my source as my last purchase, or should I...

Hello, headfiers, today i have some questions about cdplayers (especially portable ones). First of all, the matter of priority. Should I buy headphones first, stick to the cans and then look for a good source, or buy the source first, stick to it and then find some cans? To put it in a...

Can anyone describe the following two terms for me please? You know I'm a newb... Speed and Forwardness of sound........ How can sound be speedy and forward? I don't seem to get it...

Is the discussion finally over now???? .......LOL

I'm getting into this kind of question these days..... So all you headexperts out there....Answer me please! My question is this. I'm talking about CDP's. Isn't it quite true that CDP's all use quite the same materials? I'm curious about this especially because I heard that spending...

Seems like I have to choose between MS-1's and SA1K's? My taste is that I care more about the highs, bass would be just fine if it is tight and enough to support the mids and highs. I'd prefer a wide soundstage... The genre I listen to the most is rock (Nirvana, AC/DC) and...

Ok, I'm trying to make my first purchase and I'm being really fussy about it. I'm considering the 1K's because someone has told me that they would fit my taste... But now I'm trying to know what you would buy at this price range. Don't consider my taste, because I'm trying to make a...

LOL, This doesn't feel like being on MY thread.

Oh, btw, Jacques Chirac is dead now. He's done nothing nice for the French recently.

Ok so I live in Paris and I was watching the TV and heard that 2012 Olympic games will be held in London.... Even though I'm not French the reason that i'm being sad is that Paris spent so much money to win. If you've come to France recently, you know what I mean. The flags saying "PARIS2012"...

I've been curious about this for a long time. You know, you can easily find those headfiends spending hundreds and thousands bucks on their headphones... But I've recently found out that some people spend a lot of money on sources like PCDP too. I'm a newb, so I don't even actually...

Could you describe the Beyer headphones more? What's that company's main style? I mean, bass-boosted, treble-extended, etc. I'm getting interested in knowing that

IMHO, good speakers should sound better than headphones at the same quality, because it is not only your ears that feel the music. It's also your body. Listening to headphones deliver the music only to your ears, but speakers deliver it to your body as well.

Hi headfiends, it's just a boring night. Just listening to DJ Shadow's "Midnight in a Perfect World" Ok let's get the monkey buisness outta here. For those who know DJ Shadow, (i guess not many of you know him) What do you think is the best cans for listening to this guy's songs...

Hey seeberg thanks for ur consistent help! i'm thinkin bout gettin either alessandros or sa1000's being a headfiend is hard......lol

Thanks everyone!

what the word 'IMO' means...? I hear a lot of people on this website say that...... sorry if this was a stupid question but I really am curious

Plus is there like a huge difference between 1000's and 5000's? I guess 1000's will be ok for beginners......what's your opinion?

I've heard that PX200's are closed? Many reviews show that PX100's are better than those. By the way, can anyone please answer my question about an amp for SA1000's? (the original question's above)

I'm leaning towards buying SA1000's even tho it's a little bit out of the price range..... Darn, HeadFi just makes me lose my fear about money...lol If you've read the long essay about my taste above and think there's something better than SA1000's for me, plz don't hesitate to...
