My current situation
So I listen to music almost exclusively on the bus. Currently I use a Fiio e6 and HD 558, which is obviously less than ideal. I can play audio out through the USB port on my phone which is what I've been doing recently, but the DAC I have honestly sounds worse than the headphone jack. So I'm...- DerpMaster

Finally getting real stuff
So what I've been doing for about a year since i got my 558s is just using a Fiio e6 from my phone. Now, I am looking to give my computer a soundcard or a DAC or something. I'm really not sure on what to buy, but I really don't want to spend more than $100-$150 on the whole thing- DerpMaster

Plantronics BackBeat Pro
I have the opportunity to buy a pair of plantronics backbeat pros for $100. My current headphones are the sennheiser HD 558. I am wondering if the difference would be noticeable enough to justify the purchase. I currently use my 558s on the bus because I don't own any travel headphones, but...- DerpMaster

Good configuration for use with hd 558
So I'm using the sennheiser hd 558 right now, but i'm wondering what would be a good configuration (amp, etc) to use with my laptop. It does not need to be a portable setup, because I no longer use my laptop for traveling. I'm still rather new to high quality audio, as you can probably tell. I...- DerpMaster

Opinions on the new Siberia Elites?
I don't really understand much about headphones/headsets and their specs, but I'm thinking about getting the Elites for a friend of mine. Are they worth the $200, or is there something better I can get him? He mostly listens to electronic music, and plays fps games, such as counter-strike...- DerpMaster

Indecisiveness- ATH M50 or AD700?
I've narrowed it down to too possible headphones that would suit my needs. I would probably use them on the bus a lot, so I would like to know durability of each set. I would mostly use them for gaming, both competitively and for fun, and then I would also use them for listening to music and...- DerpMaster

High Quality Audio Splitter?
So I'm going to have sound playing out both my headphones as well as my subwoofer cause I like the 'explosive' feel during movies. I don't want to sacrifice sound quality though. Any ideas? My headphones don't have much bass, and this works well with a random audio splitter I found lying around...- DerpMaster

Good amplifier that will improve bass for Audio Tachnica ATH AD700?
So I'm thinking about ordering the AD700's, however I'm worried about the low bass. I just started browsing here so, I don't know if anyone else has asked about it yet. I would prefer a mobile amplifier, however I'm fine if i get 'more bang for my buck' for one that isn't portable. I really...- DerpMaster
