Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Thank you, I'll have to take a look at those if it turns out that, for example, the TH900s are just too bright for me. I'm looking for a different experience with the over ear headphones though, so my hopes are up, especially with the ability to EQ.- loxxrider

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Since the usb port on my phone is broken (galaxy note 9) I mostly just use it straight out of the headphone jack on that. It's far from ideal, but it still sounds nice enough for most of my activities. I also have a headamp Pico which I use when I do have a working USB feed, but I wouldn't...- loxxrider

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
I would just like to express my appreciation for these awesome IEMs. I believe I'm on my 3rd or 4th year of having them and I use them daily for running, working out, traveling, and they have served me well for all of those purposes. I've even accidentally put them through a full cycle in the...- loxxrider

And here's the new wagon I'm using for work instead of the cayenne now :) I'm not solely a BMW guy! Audi made some cool stuff in the 90s. Turbocharged, awd, dual overhead cam 5 cylinder screamer capable of 4-500 hp with a simple turbo upgrade, fender flares,only available in a manual...- loxxrider

Indeed, it will not be a 4 cylinder, but that was an option at one point until BMWs marketing did a feeler and determined the buyer wanted an inline 6. Unfortunately, we didn't want a non M inline 6, but that is what we're getting now. I agree it does sound good like all N5x engines do. Much...- loxxrider

Don't we already get the Golf R here? It's definitely a great car. I'm an inline 6/RWD kinda guy though, so BMW is the natural choice for me. It will have a 6 speed manual, and the rumors are that it is the same box as in the M3/M4. I am in the same camp. I will not EVER buy another...- loxxrider

Thanks! I bet that F80 is sweet. The only thing I don't like is the whole synthesized sound thing. I haven't driven one to be able to judge, but I am a mechanical kinda guy. I love authenticity. Still, I hear that engine is a peach otherwise! Also interesting how the size of the M3 is now what...- loxxrider

I agree! I can't bring myself to sell any of the becuase they're all so good in their own ways. I'd highly recommend any of them to an enthusiast who isn't afraid to get their hands a little dirty once in a while. The trade off is driving bliss :)- loxxrider

The aristo sounds like a great car to start out with as a first to own. Anything you can tinker with for cheap is good. Here are a few of my latest acquisitions... 1990 M3. Bought this as an investment and mini-restoration project. It's a great car to drive, even with only 195...- loxxrider

[COMPARISON / REVIEW] The Quads: Westone W4R vs. Logitech UE 900 vs. Sony XBA-40
I've ordered it (and received it) using that number because I lost mine on an airplane and liked it so much that I wanted to have one again. It is about $30. You can cross-check that number on the european site which has a picture to go with it.- loxxrider

Quote: The only problem is that it has to be even more cheaply made than the last vette to meet that price point. I'm not saying it isn't going to be an incredibly awesome track car (I've driven them there, and there is no denying it)... but its still just so undeniably GM :/ Great value...- loxxrider

Cool project, good to see someone getting their hands dirty around here!

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
Quote: I don't think you can really say that either outclasses the other in general. One is more technically superior while the other is great if you like a thick, gooey sound and love forward mids. Many would consider the UE900 leaps and bounds ahead of the dated SE535 with its very...- loxxrider

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
Neither have sibilance, so you are good there. Their presentations are significantly different, so you might want to give both a listen if at all possible. The build issue up there is frustrating, but at least it can be fixed with some good glue application.- loxxrider

Thoughts on Limited Edition Shure SE215?

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
Some like the TF10 better, some like the UE900 better. I haven't heard both, but I think I wouldn't like the TF10 as much from the descriptions I've read. The UE900 does extremely well on the technical end, had mids which are right where I think they should be (not too forward, but not...- loxxrider

Nice! I just put mine in today for the first time in more than a week. I've been listening to the HD650 and LCD-2 exclusively to compare them for the last week. These UE900's don't really give anything up to them other than the sense of space given by the big cans.- loxxrider

Auditioned HD650 and LCD-2
After listening much more to these two headphones, I still like the HD650 better for its overall sound signature. There is just something that I don't like about the LCD-2.2. I think there is a little spike around the 1 kHz range that I don't like. It is something in the upper midrange/lower...- loxxrider

Quote: Whats funny is it is actually kind of the opposite. It is quite vocal from the outside if you listen to it ride by, but on the inside it is very pleasant because there is no drone or anything. It is just the engine's nature to get loud under load and stay relatively quiet otherwise...- loxxrider

Quote: It does sound kind of loud in the videos, but it is actually really quiet when cruising around and at idle. It only gets loud when you step on it.
