I'm looking for a good pair of IEMs to use with an iPod Touch 5th gen. I also need them to have an in-line mic, because I'm going to use them for chat on the PS4. I'd like them to be $60 or under if at all possible. I've heard some good things about the Klipsch Image S4i-II; any opinions or...

Hey everyone, I'm planning on getting a PS4 early next year most likely. I plan to connect it HDMI to HDMI to a monitor that will have a 3.5mm output, but possibly no built-in speakers.   Option #1.  I was wondering if I would get game volume If I connected my AKG K550s to the monitor's...

Quote: Thanks I appreciate it. I wasn't looking for a particularly "sparkly" headphone, so the 550s sound about right. Just a little more treble than the thumpin' mdr-xb500s. I also have quite a large noggin. I wear a 7 3/4 fitted hat, and I don't wear glasses, so the seal should be good...

Hey guys, I was thinking about asking for some akg k550 for Christmas. I've read a lot of good reviews, and I think that they'll suit my purposes quite well (folk, indie rock, contemporary christian, and Christian Rock). I don't want a complete absence of bass, just enough bass to balance out...

Has anyone owned the xb1000s? I'm going to ask for a pair for Christmas and I was wondering how good they sounded (amped with a fiio e11)and if the mids and highs were at least decent, though I know these are definitely not audiophile cans. I love bass, but I am going to listen to some other...

Quote: Anyone else besides that guy feel free to answer. I'd like several opinions If you'd be kind enough to give them. Thanks.

Quote: Thanks. I know that there are definitely cans with much better mids and highs, but I'm only getting one pair, and I'm a A basshead, I was just wondering if the mids and highs were decent at least. Also, How will the 1000s with a fiio e11 amp, fiio L9 LOD, plugged into my iPod touch...

Strictly portable. I was actually thinking about buying the fiio L9 LOD also. Would the xb1000s, the e11, and the L9 be a good portable setup for an ipod touch 4th gen? My songs are standard bitrate from itunes: like 256 or something like that; correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for your opinion. When does the e12 release? Honestly I'd rather not pay double what the e11 costs though.

EDIT: I have an iPod touch 4th gen. And my music is the standard itunes bitrate, which is like 256 i think; correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey guys, i'm new here. My question: would you reccomend the sony mdr xb1000s for hip hop/ electronic, but also Christian Rock and contemporary and some folk music? I own the xb500s and they're great. Really good bass and acoustics sound good too; so are the 1000s even better? Also, would a fiio...

Hey guys, I've literally just joined Head-Fi. I'm not an audiophile, but I love music and I enjoy reading the different discussions on the site. This is my first thread, and I was wondering what some of you guys' thoughts were on the sony mdr xb1000. I own the xb500 and I love them, so I figured...
