    BOSE and BEATS FTW...What?

    First of all, have you ever noticed that FTW is What backwards?  Yeah...just thought I'd point that out.  I also thought I'd point out that none other than Tyll Hertsens has admitted that the Bose Quietcomfort 15  are among the best in the category of noise canceling headphones, and that the and...

    The Audiophile Headphone Aesthetic (and new Denon lineup)

         Prompted by recent discussions of the new line of full-size headphones from Denon, I felt compelled to start a conversation about the "audiophile aesthetic."  I find it highly ironic that many people are already dismissing this new line of headphones, without even hearing how they sound or...

    Happy (and hilarious) acoustic coincidence (share your stories too!)

    I decided to hook up some old cheap-o Cyber Acoustic CA3000 computer speakers, and much to my surprise, they sounded pretty great!  Sure, the bass was a little loose, the highs not quite as crystal clear as I might like, but switching back and forth between these $30 speakers and my Denon...

    Good (but not overly pricey) power conditioner to use with the Burson Audio HA-160D

    I am wondering if any Burson owners have suggestions for me regarding power conditioning.  Although the Burson comes with five internal power supplies and two massive transformers, the owners' manual still suggests one pair it with a good power conditioner for optimal performance.  I know that...

    Denon Ah-d5000 VS. Ah-d7000 (Video Review)

    Hey all.  I know a lot of people have already posted written reviews on this topic, but I thought I'd do a short video review on Youtube, and post a link here.  Apologies in advance for the amateur quality of the video.  I'm new at this, and I'm just using my computer's i-sight built-in camera...

    A fool and his money (fradulent headphone retailers)

    I feel like a complete fool right now, because I ordered what I suspected were a bootleg pair of Denon Ah-D7000 from a "China Wholesale" website.  Although the website looked somewhat legit, it still reaked of scam to me, mainly beecause of its ridiculously low prices $189.00 for the Denon...

    Headphones with a deceptive impedance rating

    I've been noticing a lot lately that there are plenty of headphones that, while the possess a relatively low impedance rating, actually sound quite a bit better with an amplifier set at medium or high impedance (depending on the power of the amp, of course).  Can somebody explain to me why it is...

    Question about the Fostex HP-P1 and Algorythm solo

    I realize this is a relatively noobish question, but we all have to start somewhere, right?  I was wondering what the difference between the Algorythm solo/ Fostex HP-P1 and other portable dacs or amp/dac combos was.  I am aware that both use very high quality DACs, and that the Algorythm Solo...

    Troubleshooting the iBasso D7 "Sidewinder"

    I feel silly requesting help with such a relatively simple device, but for whatever reason, it seems to be having serious "clipping" issues with my Macbook Pro.  I'm not sure that's the proper term.  What I mean to say is, the audio will randomly cut out completely for a second or two, like when...

    Request for a rechargeable mini-speaker comparison

    As I'm sure you're all aware, this past year saw the birth of a lot of new rechargable portable mini-speaker products.  From the X-mini II capsule speaker to the Spider E500 pocket speaker, the Typhoon Audio T8 Vibration Loudspeaker, the iHome iHM79, or even the "as seen on tv" Music Bullet...
