Hey all--   So, I've been out of the new-gadgetry loop for a while now (my wallet thanks me), but I'm back by force.  My 5.5g Rockbox'ed iPod Video is on the way out -- it's getting steadily blinkier by the day, both I think because of random assorted Rockbox bugs and the slowly dying...

Anybody ever used a Belkin dock like this? Amazon.com: Belkin Dock with USB Wall Charger for iPod: Electronics There's a few such models, and they seem to be the cheapest thing that can get you line-out + charging + upright, dock-style connection (rather than a cable). Anybody have any...

So, I need a new keyboard, and I figure that Head-Fi'ers out there somewhere will be able to provide some good advice. My GF has an electric keyboard, but it's so crappy that it's driving me up the wall (way less than 88 keys, no force sensitivity, so it's about like playing a really tiny...

Hey guys-- Not strictly a headphone question, I know, but this is the best audio community *I* know of. I've got a pair of Venhaus's DIY CAT5 speaker cables (http://www.venhaus1.com/diycatfivecables.html) in my current setup (computer source, Dared MP-5 heading to PSB Alpha A/V speakers)...

I'm absolutely a CONVERT to the KSC-75. But here's the problems I've got with it: It's not closed, and my listening environment is NOISY. I'm missing something of the detail in the upper mids and highs that my HD-280s give me so much of. That's crucial for classical and jazz. It's generally...

Well, I went and picked up a pair of KSC75s at Circuit City today to demo my brand-new CMOY amp that just arrived today, and I like 'em a LOT. They'll be a great combo to my HD280s (when those get back from Drew at Moon Audio for recabling). They lack the high-end detail that I need for...

My next rig will be AKG K501 based, and I'll need an upgraded amp to drive them as well. I'm looking at amps in the range of: Woo Audio 3 MG Head M^3 Maxed PIMETA w/ OPA627 So, we're talking the general $300-500 range. But, I was thinking today that it'd be very, very sweet if my...

So, I'm thoroughly bitten with the Head-Fi bug, and now I want something good for portable purposes. I've got a Dell Axim x51, which is *great*, given that with TCPMP I can listen to my Musepack collection without transcoding to some other audio format. The problem is this: these things are...

So, my next rig really comes down to a pair of K271s or a pair of DT-831s (closed, classical music-friendly headphones). Unfortunately, there's basically nowhere to demo the DT-831s, so I need to lean on the collective wisdom of Head-fi'ers everywhere. (Alternatively, if you know a spot in NYC...

Following the current rash of velour-pads threads, I thought I'd jump in--does anyone know if any of the velour pads out there will fit the HD280? The pleather's starting to get to me. I know the K271 and DT770 have velour pads as an option--has anyone tried getting these to fit on a 280?

So, I'm generally really happy with my setup (need an amplifier, but it's on the way, so I can manage for now). I've got one question, however--there's one thing that still prevents me from fully enjoying my headphones. For about 4 out of 5 albums, I absolutely love the sound. The phones...

I don't want this to look like every other "which headphone should I buy?!?!?!111" thread, so I'm going to go about it a little differently. I have a Sennheiser HD280Pro. I think overall (and ESPECIALLY given the price tag), it's a very high quality headphone. I *need* the isolation for my...

First of all, this is my first post to the forums--lurking for a week or two guided me to my first purchase of Sennheiser HD280s! I just thought I'd post this, as I hadn't read anything about it and it'd have saved me from thinking I'd just made a $100 mistake in buying my new cans. To...
