Sorry if this is not the best place to have this discussion (but I am new to this arena). I have an iPod touch 2g, I believe, and a pair of ATH-M50. I love listening to music on my laptop because I can eq it (I have an HP and have the Beats sound eq... I know, I know... Beats, sorry). But I...

I am fairly new at this and have am looking to learn how to do this effectively.  I am looking for more beginner to average level help.  I have multiple questions (most of them simple I'm sure) that I am looking to research.  Some examples of questions I have are... What frequency level are "S"...

I am curious as to how loud my music is when listening to my headphones on my iPod and computer.  Is there a device that would allow me to measure it, relativity accurately.  I also monitor sound/ DJ at some events and would like to be able to monitor the sound levels I am at because right now I...

It seems like all of the below $20 ear buds are made with super thin wires that will break after a few months of use.  I found a pair of Sony ones that have lasted me up to a year but they are discontinued so I'm looking for a replacement.  Are their any below $20 ear buds that are made to last...

I have the ATH-M50's and love them.  I have noticed that on the ear pad the part that covers the driver, has a yellowish brown tint to it I think in the spot where my ear touches the driver.  It's on the inside of the pad, not the pad part itself.  I'm assuming its sweat or ear wax or something...

I sleep with ear buds and use them while walking to class and playing sports.  I am getting tired of buying headphones every 6 months because the cable sorts out and I cant hear in one ear.  I am looking for some ear buds that can take a beating.  Sound quality is not my top priority (I have a...

I know it varies by brand and cable.  I have owned many pairs of cheap $10 ear buds and have had the cord (at the part just after the jack) break and have sound only come out in one of the 2 ear buds.  This many times happens just a few months after purchasing them.  I have found a little better...

I bought a pair of ATH-M50 and love listening to them on my computer because I have a beats (I know) equalizer program on my computer that I love.  It gets me a ton of bass and I love the way my music sounds.  I have also listened to them on my iPod touch and was not as thrilled.  I tried using...

Ok so I just got my ATH-M50's and I usually use my ear buds to talk to people online and listen to music quietly in the background at the same time.  However, when I'm talking to people there is that mic staticy noise that happens.  Will that constant noise hurt my headphones.  I know people...

I have this thing on my laptop that is the beats audio control panel thing.  I'm not really sure all I know is when I open it I can change some of the equalizers and stuff on it and is is pretty simple, but I'm wondering if it is any good.  I noticed a huge difference when I checked the box for...

This is the impression I get from those of you that call yourselves audiophiles (correct me if I'm wrong).  You at one time loved music and wanted it to sound as good as possible.  But in that quest you have taken on the thought that music needs to sound as accurate as it can, and it has become...

Might be random, but I want to order a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 from Walmart but I have a feeling they may be to tight for me, i wear glasses.  So how do returns work?  Can I order them online have them ship it to a store near me and then pick them up try them out and then if they...

I went to best buy and listened to some of their headphones for a little while.  I listened to the studio's for maybe 5 min and liked them.  I'm use to my $10 ear buds that have no bass and are not very good sounding.  I really like listening to music in my car because it is more engaging with...

I heard that you want to keep your dB for music below 85 because above that starts to damage your ears.  I'm going to be getting a pair of audio-technica ath-m50.  I'm use to my $10 ear buds and I want to make sure I know what a good volume level is with these and my ear buds for that matter.  I...

Sorry if this is long but I want to give a clear picture of what I am looking for.  First off I'm using a $10 pair of ear buds currently.  I want to get a better pair of headphones because I like listening to music in my car.  I don't have anything special in my car I just like the clear...
