Oh my, that's certainly both enlightening and disappointing. Apparently my mp3's all have sample rate of 44 khz. I was on the verge of cursing both Google and Amazon for being cheap, but after researching a little bit (1) (2) about sample rate I've lost all interest in higher sample rate.   1...

Apparently my ears suck. I borrowed the thing, connected the E07K to the USB port, set it as the default playback device, set the quality to 96K Hz.... and dont really notice much difference.   Will end up buying it anyways as the guy really needs money, but I wont pay more than 40 bucks...

Head Fi-ers, I need your advice!   A good friend of mine is selling his Fiio E07K, since we meet almost daily I know for a fact that his Fiio is almost never used. He bought it under the false assumption that it would improve his earphone's SQ and shelved the amp after he did not notice any...

The guide is BEAUTIFUL and still manage to look very professional.   However, content-wise I am not very satisfied with it :   It should begin with some explanations of different type of head fi gears. The pros and cons of closed vs open headphones, IEMs vs Headphones. Why you want...

Decided on the DT770. Comfort is a bigger issue since I can raise the volume to block out outside sound. I will be buying an Asus Xonar DG as well because reviews of the DT770 often mention the need for amp to drive it correctly. Will buy within the hour unless I get a better recommendation :-)

The Fisher is not available on Amazon which is about the only place I buy from. Supposedly the HM5 I listed above is pretty much the same thing. Right now for me its a two way contest between the HM5 and the DT770

I think I will skip on the K271 because they have those two cables justting out on top of the headphone. For someone like me it means I will accidentally wreck the cable within weeks.   The DT770 I've looked at and I am concerned with how it sounds unamped. Is it good enough to be driven by...

The one that I actually listen to and sing along are normally rock, hard rock and metal type of music. I do enjoy the famous opera arias and duets (Zauberfloete, Lakme, Turandot, etc). While studying / reading I like to listen to piano solos and chopin's nocturne   I listen to other...

I really need another headphone because I have to send back my current ones for repair. Since I need headphone for work, phone (google voice) and school I will have to buy another one asap. Hopefully you guys could help me out. I didnt get a lot of feedback from my previous attempts at...

Reposting this from another thread because nobody replied:   I bought my Shure SRH440 a year ago for just 70 bucks in amazon. Been working great and I bought the 840 earpads as well. Not sure what happened exactly but starting this morning I noticed that my right driver is not working, I...

I bought my Shure SRH440 a year ago for just 70 bucks in amazon. Been working great and I bought the 840 earpads as well. Not sure what happened exactly but starting this morning I noticed that my right driver is not working, I narrowed the problem down to the cable connecting the left and the...

My SRH840 pads (used for SRH 440) are getting smelly. Since fabreeze is unavailable until I go to town next week, more onerous methods will have to do. I read that washing them with hot water and soap could be useful in removing the odor but was concerned if the synthetic leather of the pads...

Just want to mention that I managed to connect the PC sound output to the headphone amp using a male-to-male  stereo audio cable that I bought from Radioshack months ago. I was just cleaning my room and found this cable still in pristine condition. Incorrectly bought it when I needed a...

Alright. I guess I'll take a look at some of those mixers.   The soundcard I have right now is just the onboard Realtek one. Thing is, I do not require recording. Pretty much all I want to do is to be able to use my headphone to hear my amp-ed guitar and still be able to listen to...

So the Rockstar thingy doesnt actually work for this ? http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-RockStar-3-5-mm-Headphone-Splitter/dp/B0017PG8KS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339233262&sr=8-2   The consumer review said : "After minutes opened I connect my guitar amplifier headphone output and a MP3 player...

Ahh, no. Those are the real deal. Mine is the 30 dollar tiny headphone amp : http://www.voxamps.com/amplug/

We are talking about Vox AC30 headphone amp. So it does not have a speaker or cannot output to a speaker. Or even if it could, I wouldnt use a speaker because this is for practice sessions that can be done at midnight.   Someone said something about Behringer mixers. Can they do the job ?

Long story made short : Have electric guitar and headphone amplifier Vox ac30. Have pc. Want to be able to listen to both.   Supposedly something like this would work...

I bought a replacement cable for my one year old Shure SRH-440. Unfortunately the cable is still to short for me to able to use my headphone while lying on the bed. So I am thinking about buying a 3 to 6 feet stereo audio extension cable. How important is the quality of cable in this...
