Checkers, Space Battle, and Sudoku. They probably won't work until Wednesday. Zune.net | Games - Games on your Zune

I came home from work and there she was again, watching the Disney channel with my modded 580s. I've got a killer 5.1 speaker system, but she's figured out how to turn off all the speakers and listen with these instead: My teenage boy is embarrassed to put on any of my headphones and uses...

The Zune is winning the war in terms of value on eBay. I'm going to take a hit to make a switch to a Zune 8. Doesn't that say it all? I bought the nano, my first Apple product since an ancient Macintosh, on Woot on impulse and I'm not all that happy with it. I'm into podcasts and my Zune 30...

A pair of 701s is featured prominently in a new American Express plum card commercial, along with some high end turntables. We've gone mainstream. They even use the word "audiophile."

My new new 716s sounded brighter in my right ear on every cut so I was a little pissed off that I would have to do a filter change after so little time. I kept pushing the triflexes deeper and deeper into my left ear, trying to find the detail.I even went so far as to hook them up to my main...

I have one of these laying around. I've already replaced the selenium rectifier with diodes, removed the tone controls from the circuit and upgraded the volume control. It sounds great as a preamp, but I really would like to turn it into a headphone amp for my HD580s. Any ideas?

This show is loaded with headphone sightings. I've seen Senn HD25s on band members, Sony MDRs in the studio sessions, and now custom IEMs on the contestants themselves. Most singers are using only one, and I can't figure out the brand/model, but I've seen them before. They're clear with a brass...

I lost a pair of EX71s a few years ago by leaving them in my shirt pocket and letting them get washed and dried. Amazingly enough, one channel survived. Anyway, I haven't been able to locate my UM2/UM56s for about a week now so I decided to check the dirty close hampers this morning. All...

I watched "Children of Men" on HD-DVD the other night with a 5.1 DD Plus high end system and tonight (babies sleeping) I had to watch it with my modded 580s and it lost everything except for the fact that you could hear every word of dialog. Bottom line: headphones suck for movies.

I picked up two black Zune 30s a few months ago when Woot was blowing them out. I gave one one to my middle school aged son. He took it to school one day and someone stole it. He had some friends over for a slumber party last Friday and one of the little punks stole the other one (mine)...

I have a problem with my modified 580s (a broken "shoehorn" according to Senn) that may or may not have something to do with something else I own, a 130 pound Great Dane puppy. The phones are less than a year old, but I really didn't want to be without them for the holidays, so I asked if I...

Leo LaPorte, longtime Zune basher and ipod fanboy, just gave the new Zunes a very positive review on his Daily GizWiz podcast: The TWiT Netcast Network with Leo Laporte He messed up on one thing, he thought you couldn't sync without having it docked, but he knows better now...

I plugged my pre lossless Zune into my downstairs high end system and it sounded like dried dog poop. Now everything is lossless. Should I try again?

I just got a Zune travel kit today which included a remote control, which is BTW compatible with the Zune coming out on the 13th. Anyway, the remote has two amplified headphone outs each with their own little volume controls. I was surprised to find that the headphone outs on the remote are not...

I ordered a second Zune, a brown (blech) one for $79 the other day and was about to complain because it hadn't been shipped. Here's the email I just got: A decision has been made without you on your recent Brown Zune order from the 22nd. I will be transparent about this-I can only hope it...

I bought three pair when Creative was blowing them out for ten bucks a pop. I gave one away, one developed a rattle about a year ago and sent it to Koss with a six dollar check and got 75s back. Now my last pair has a rattle. BTW, don't listen loud at all. Maybe they'll upgrade me to PortaPros...

Even vintage Stax are so much better than anything else out there. They make you forget about your source/amp/anything. Just go get you some Stax.

My kid is going to boarding school in the same town that Westone makes the 3. Monday, the 8th. Sony D-11. James Carter "Chasin' the Gypsy". Oh yeah. Can we talk factory tour?

I was watching "Cash Cab' yesterday when all my kids and their friends started showing up. It got to the point where I couldn't hear the questions or answers so I put on my my 701s. It sounded just like I was inside the Cash Cab! I switched to my modded 580s, nope, Gammas, nope, ES7s nope...

Is headfi posting ads in threads?

I trembled with anticipation as I found the package from Amazon on my doorstep. I savagely ripped open her bodice, whoops, I mean packing tape, and gently placed the most beautiful set of cans I'd ever seen on my eagerly waiting ears. And what did I get? The Fran Drescher of headphones...

My wife is complaining about my 81DJs leaking too much sound while she's reading and I'm listening/reading next to her in bed. If someone that owns both could confirm that ES7s leak less, I get to upgrade!

Here's my plan: The four of us - mom, dad, teenage son, daughter - often watch TV or HDTV together after dinner. I often put on a pair of 701s or modified 580's while the rest of the family listens to the speakers. There's usually at least one or two nieghberhood friends of our kids here as...
