Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like the E11K is only $60 on Amazon which is well within my price range :)    Another question (and again please bear with me since I'm new to this stuff). Would it be worth it to save for an E07K seeing as its a DAC/Amp, not just an amp? I'm going to be using...

It's a little more bloated (I am using an EQ on it as well) but it definitely is more punchy as well.    The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H, but does that really matter? I'm running it plugged into the sound card anyway, not the output jack on the motherboard. 

Hi all :)    I'm pretty new to the audio world, so please bear with me. I just purchased a pair of V-Moda M100s. I've done some research on headphones in the past and decided on these and waited until a good deal finally popped up (got them for $200 at Brookstone). These are my first set of...

Yes sir, I've twisted it and tried it both ways and no matter how hard I pull it simply won't come out. I can only turn it a quarter-turn (90 degrees) and in both positions it won't come out, so I believe somehow it was installed "backwards".   I've tried putting in the second v-cork into the...

Thanks for the reply, Val! I actually just played with the headband and put a bit of muscle into it and it shifted. The V-Moda logo appears to be pretty straight now. Cheers! Still a little perplexed about my V-Cork issue though. I'm not sure how it even came from that position from the factory...

I've checked the connections, everything seems solid. No underwater sound. I also tried both cables, still sounds the same. I'm beginning to think that it's just me.    Couple things to note: I can't seem to remove the V-cork or whatever they call it from the right earpiece (the one that was...

I haven't tried an EQ yet. Do you have any suggestions for a good one? I'm pretty new to the audio world, as you can probably already tell.    I'll get the HD sampler when I get home from class and see how they sound.    Thanks for the review and being specific regarding genres. I...

After a few days of use I am finding that there is not enough bass to my liking. Maybe reading all the reviews hyped it up for me too much. I understand that they are a lot more bassy than a lot of other cans out there but for some reason I feel like I need more. Maybe I really am an extreme...

Let me know how you like it :) I meant to say DAC/amp in my post. I really want something light and portable that I don't mind bringing around to use with my laptop/phone, I don't think I'll be using my M100s much while I'm at my PC. I might just pick up a cheap FiiO to use for now. 

I bit on these. It shows OOS online but I went into a store today and they had a couple of left, so anyone looking to get these should check their local store. My store had one in matte black and one in shadow, I got the matte black one.    I'm not an audiophile by any means. In fact, these...

Hey Head-Fi,   I'm currently looking for a cheap pair of cans, preferably around $50 or so. I'm a broke college student so I really can't stretch my budget, but I'm afraid my roommates are starting to get annoyed with how loudly I listen to music through my PC speakers so its time for me to...

What is the general consensus on the best pair of phones for EDM for $150 or less? I listen to pretty much 98% EDM of all types. Name an artist and I probably listen to him. Armin, Tiesto, Zedd, Porter Robinson, Tritonal, SHM, Sander Van Doorn, Dash Berlin, etc. I do listen to other genres from...

Hiya Head-Fi   I'm currently in the market for a new budget pair of 'phones - and by "budget", I really mean it. I'm looking to spend around $100 or so, maybe a bit more if it's a significant step-up but I'd really like to keep it at $100 or under. I've never owned a "real" pair of...

Is the padding really thin or is it more from the clamp of the 'phones themselves?

Quote: You can say that about almost any mainstream artist of today, really. Rappers always have their catchiest songs hitting the top 40, but the truly well-written verses are found on mixtapes that most people have never even heard of. Likewise, the radio loves any JB song with a...
