Any headphone amps small enough to sit right on the jack?
I use an old cell phone (offline) and a pair of sporta pro's when I walk every night. It's an ancient phone with a weak headphone out. I could use about one more click on the volume to be totally satisfied. I don't want 10 feet of wires stuffed into my pocket, or the extra bulk of piggybacking...- cam94z28

t50rp: is the treble peak @ ~10k as bad as it looks?
After hearing a sound demo of the t50rp mk3's on z reviews YouTube channel i was floored. I could even hear the airyness, and ambience that they produced compared to something like the hd600, demoed on the same yt Channel. After looking at a frequency graph though, there is a crazy peak around...- cam94z28

Is there a current equivalent to the Koss UR55's?
I have 20-25 pairs of headphones on hand and i keep coming back to the UR55's, my sportapro's and sometimes the more congested HD203 II's. The problem is, the wire is pulling out of one of the earcups, and one of the strain reliefs broke off at the earup. These are getting harder and harder to...- cam94z28

Are there two different models of ur55? Second pair has Silver grilles????
I recently bought a pair of Koss UR55's because i had a buying itch, and I remember them sounding good in the past. I stupidly returned them for the DJ100's, which I didn't like. I had to return my first pair, because they had a defect/short in the in-line Y-fitting that goes from single to...- cam94z28

worth trying to fix brand new defective koss ur55? (defective cable)
I had a recent urge to get a few cheaper pairs of decent cans, and decided on the Koss ur55 and Beyer dt235. The Beyers sound a lot better than i expected (I'm sensitive to sibilance). They have a really unique sound which is addicting. I don't know why they don't get more love around here. If...- cam94z28

AKG M80 MkII any good?
These are on sale for $29.99 at music123 (add to cart for price). I can't find any word about them here at all. The only post was dated 2007, and probably for the non MkII model. I'm wondering if they're worth trying for the price. Then again, I like my bass, so maybe not... they are semi-open...- cam94z28

What are these "Section 8 Tupac Shakur Super Bass PRO" Headphones?
I came across them at JR. They have the PRO's for on sale for $82 (normally $141.99). They also have the "Section 8 Tupac Shakur DJ Headphones" for $29.99 (normally $49.99). The DJ headphones kind of have an ultrasone look, and the PRO's kind of resemble the beats. The prices seem pretty...- cam94z28

What is a worthy replacement for the S:Flo2?
My S:Flo2 has always been my favorite player. There's just something about the sound quality that I haven't found in another player. My Fuze sounds good, but has more grating highs.

Are the Phiaton MS300/MS400 decidedly better sounding than the Klipsch Image One's?
I am deciding between these two. I really like the way the Image Ones sound at best buy through my S:Flo2, but I can't use them through this player. The iPod functionality makes music sound like a karaoke track unless the middle "call receive" button is held in. The Phiaton's have a...- cam94z28

Any love for the Acoustic Research ARW300's?
These have gone down to around $40 lately. They are a dual driver design, with 23mm mid/tweet, and 40mm "subwoofers" One amazon review speaks pretty favorably of them, another said they are bass shy. I was just curious if anyone here has tried them? A search here found no results. They...- cam94z28

Klipsch Image One. Any way to bypass iPod functionality?
I listened to these today at Best Buy through my S:Flo2, and was blown away. Bass was up there with my XB500's, but cleaner. There is only one problem.

Do your RH50's have one tweeter off-center?
I have had my Roland RH-50's for a few months now. They have very punchy bass, and nice detail, but I've always thought they were weirdly sibilant. They are only sibilant on S's, but it's more of a whistling sibilance (only way I can describe it), and is uncomfortable to listen to. Like someone...- cam94z28
