    Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread

    They are sending me a new pair with 1 day shipping via UPS now. I'm hoping they don't have this problem with all of their wr4s in the warehouse.

    Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread

    Well I just got these in the mail after ordering them from amazon. I'm impressed with the sound, but I'm not at all impressed with FedEx.   The foam tips that were on the 4r's were literally melted to the plastic and I had to scrape them off the best I could to put different tips on.  This is...

    Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread

    Considering the current prices of the W4R's, I'm tempted to pick up a pair. But currently I'm using a Rockbox'd Sansa Clip+ as my DAP, but I could also use my Galaxy S4. I'm really not looking into getting a portable amp/dac for now, and I doubt I will want to spend much money on them either...

    Looking for some IEMs that would be a good replacment for my RE-0s

    Thanks for the information!   I've been browsing some IEM reviews, how would the JVC-HA-FXT90/D80 or the Shure SE215 compare to the RE-0 or RE-400?

    I see you own the HF5, what do you think of them?

    Looking for some IEMs that would be a good replacment for my RE-0s

    But does the RE-400 have the same build quality as the RE-0?

    Looking for some IEMs that would be a good replacment for my RE-0s

    I currently am using the HiFiMan RE-0s but since the build quality of them doesn't seem so hot, I'd like to know what I should be on the lookout for if/when my RE-0's go kaputt.   I tend to prefer a neutral or close-to-neutral sound signature, and I don't want any sibilance or other fatiguing...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    I don't believe that is what they are meant to be at all.

    Sony MDR-V6 (and family) Impressions Thread

    TheBoss, how does the Senal compare to the V6/7506 in terms of sonic characteristics and build quality?

    The "Headphones That Significantly Perform Above Their Price Point Thread"

    The Fischer Audio FA-003 and its clones are very comparable to much more expensive headphones in my opinion. I bought the Jaycar variants for 70 dollars (including shipping) and I can say that they aren't much worse than my HD650s, they are very neutral, comfortable, and isolate well. It's very...

    I've been getting into math rock recently, what are some albums that have a mathy feel to them?

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    I'm looking to add another pair of headphones to my collection (currently have a HD650 and HM5 Brainwavz clone) and it looks like I've come down to the LCD2 and HE-500 as my two options.  I'd like a neutral sound and I've generally heard good things about both, but I can't seem to pull the...

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    Go for the Jaycar Monitors, I just got mine last week and they are really impressing me.  They are very clear and neutral headphones, and these even have a pretty large soundstage for being closed.  Not to mention they don't really need an amp and they come with a nice set of stuff, a carrying...

    Exactly, we want them to be discounted, if only a small amount, it hasn't happened so some of us aren't buying them.

    Quote: I think a lot of us were disappointed that the HE-400 and HE-500 didn't have a single sale, unless you count the free shipping offer as a sale.

    Don't quote someone directly above you, it's a waste of space, even more so when it's a spammer.

    I believe there are several websites that will give you about 70 percent of the card's worth in straight cash.

    Simple but successful Mod on HE-400s

    I guess I'm not understanding you then.  There is leather around the headband, how did you bypass the leather to stick the velcro directly to the metal?
