currently using razer kraken and am looking for a bit more fidelity and an open style instead of closed. comfort is priority #1 which the razers are quite good at just lacking in sound quality. noise canceling is not required, but good mic preferred. preferably under $250 to be used on...

I'm not really a gamer but have been obsessed with D2 for the last 6 months, it's the only game I play. solar titan main, no other characters because I am a lazy gamer lol. anyways, anyone else play often and into end game content? I'm always looking for new people to squad up with. feel...

i am obsessed with this playlist at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3fggcaYh9g are there any good violin piano duet albums? looking for performances, but compilation works too. i've always wanted to like classical music, but never found it interesting, until now i guess (thanks...

is it really limited to 192kbps wma standard only?  i'm trying to do high bit rate vbr wma on s739 and it doesn't work.  ive tried both standard and pro codecs.  currently using fraunhofer aac preset 6 but i think wma pro sounds better and would like to use that if at all possible.

do these sound anything like their 6300 series speakers that is claimed?   also, is there any difference in sound between the s500 and the s700 or is it merely cosmetic plus built in battery?  if that's the case, s500 seems more appealing due to being lighter in weight (especially without AAA...

 i bought an open box 2nd gen shuffle as a christmas gift and i was wondering if anyone had the clear plastic case that it comes in and would be willing to part with.  i will pay shipping.  please send me a pm if you can help out.

i compared using -q0 vs -q9 which turns off all these tuning methods not only did turning everything off encode MUCH faster, but it sounds better to me as well. perhaps my hearing is not human lol, but it sounds more immediate vs high quality setting.

if there are any of you who have tried this, please post your thoughts on it here. pics and comparisons would be great as well, or even a review! i like that it's made of stainless steel instead of plastic. but have no idea how the sound is, if it merits the high cost vs a sony hd5.

for those of you who relish in this camp, talk about your audio philosophy and how you got there. when i first started out, i went into the hobby looking for 'lifelike' sound. and i figured that the more of everything would help me achieve that. for example, i sought gear that had lots of...

could someone post a comparison on fit & sound between the stock vs 11jpn pads on a w10vtg? i'm primarily interested in comfort first, but i'm afraid the velour pads might mess up the sound??? and where can you purchase replacement pads?

i was wondering which opamps you guys consider as fast sounding with a focus on prat. im looking for something with good energy and drive.

how would you describe its sound? how would you rate its body/texture? i'm willing to pay $10 shipped. right now i'm using lme49720 and while it sounds pretty good, i feel like it could use more character and drive with tighter bass. i guess you could say i prefer unnatural overly taut bass...

i don't know any tech support sites and was wondering where would be the best place to look for answers to my problem? when i try to add a printer, i get the error message: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system...

Virtual Haircut binaural recording. i ripped my fones off my head and freaked out first time i heard this... i was listening with ety er4s and suggest you try the same (IEM) another with matches: http://www.unoriginal.co.uk/Audio/Holophonic.mp3

anyone own one of these? i'd like to get one to use at work and to take outside during bbq's, trip to the beach, etc... was wondering how its functionality was, how well the radio tracks, battery life and such.

i absolutely love the aggressive colored mids of the es7 while not thrilled with the rest of the spectrum, but that strength alone lets me forgive its downfalls. i was hoping that there is an iem out there that is midrange biased like the es7. while i like the er-4s, it's not comfortable and i...

i recently purchased a uk version of nw-a1200 and this thing sounds really good. however i have a few issues with it. using latest sonic stage 4.3 firmware is 3.00 i'm using lame v0 files at the moment (prefer nero aac but sonicstage doesn't read id3v2 tags for some reason?) and i'd like to...

i bought a sony dap from ebay UK from a 100% feedback seller and it has been confirmed through multiple emails that the package has been shipped over a month ago, but it still hasnt arrived. i'm assuming that it's being held up at customs for some reason, or it got stolen during transit in the...

i recently got a headstage lyrix total. i tried to move the ad8397 to the buffer stage but it fried. right now i'm using the original lm6172 in as buffer and lm49720 as the operational chip. this combo has nice detail but i liked the stock presentation more so i'd like to compare before & after.

i was wondering if there is anyway to automatically lowercase all tags in files? a foobar script in particular would be great...

just ordered the lyrix total and i was wondering if anyone has tried the LM6172 in theirs? i really like the porta corda sound and unfamiliar with the ad8397. comparisons would be appreciated. also, is it easy to swap them out? i've only rolled with a meta42 and it was a pain in the ass. i...

is sonicstage the only way to convert files into the atrac format? i use foobar to encode everything cause it's so convenient. the majority of my music is in flac format. although i also have a lot of mp3s that i'm willing to transcode into atrac for battery life reasons, i'd rather not have to...

i've found a few threads covering this already but i'm looking for updated opinions from people who've heard multiple ones. please don't talk about canalphones or iems. i've owned ety er-4s and really enjoyed the sound but they're just not practical and quite uncomfortable. this is for portable...

when i convert to aac, i like the file name to be <tracknumber> <tracktitle>, ie 06 get 'em high.m4a that's how i have my wav's filename setup prior to conversion through foobar. however after the conversion it doesn't preserve the tracknumber, just the title. doesn't make any sense cause it...

i've tried all of my usb ports on both 5g ipod and shuffle, and when trying to put songs on an ipod, ituness give me an error stating the disc could not be read from or written to. so i have been transfering all my files through a program called vpod. i've tried xplay and ephpod also and they...
