There is a small, circular, piece of cotton/paper in both my headphones from sony.  They're in-ear-montiors, does anyone know what these little circular pieces of paper are?  They're in the nozzle of the in-ear-portion of the headphone....?

So I just got my Klipsch X10i's today, and so far I'm pretty impressed.   (By the way has anyone else noticed that with high-volume the bass molds right into the vocals, and becomes very distorted? are mine defective?)   Does anyone have any good cable-mods or tips to prevent my cables...

It was about two years ago when I first listened to the Klipsch S4 Image headphones.  Before that, I had only ever listened to the crappy Apple iPod white earbuds.  Listening to the Klipsch S4's completely blew my mind, I had no idea what I was missing.   Fast forward two years later I have...

Wow, I just have to say.... well "warn" actually... others of buying the Hippo VB headphones.   I bought mine brand new from Jaben, got them within a few days.     I tried them on, hated them, burned them in for 10 hours, 20 hours, 30 hours, with testing at each interval, lasting for...

So I hear these balanced armature (BA) headphones are pretty freakin sweet.  Is there an entry level pair that doesn't cost $300?   I adore the Klipsch x10i headphones, but I just don't have $200-300 to spend on them right now, anyone else know any BA alternatives?

I'm dying here, and I need someone's expert advice to sway my decision one way or another.     Do I buy the Monster Turbines new for $80.00 USD, do I buy the Hippo VB for $79.00 USD, or do I buy the MEElectronics SP51 for only $45.00???   I listen to mainly Dubstep and Electronic...

I'm looking for the IEMs to buy, I've got about a $170 rough budget, and I would really like to get something with some brain crushing bass.   Here's what I personally own so far...   Dr. Dre Beats TOUR (wow, you guys were right. over-priced pieces of mediocre junk) Dr. Dre Beats...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for the IEMs to buy, I've got about a $170 rough budget, and I would really like to get something with some brain crushing bass.  I have more than enough flat IEMS, but I really want something that motivates me during my work-outs, and bass does the trick.   I know...
