I've got a pair of SE425s with custom tips, although not the best fit they were okay on a flight last year. I'm planning a trip later this year and have been bitten by the headphone bug again, am I wasting my time though? Is ANC better or worse than custom tips?

I've been using some DT990 Pros for 18 months now and love them but I'm struggling with them being open having now moved locations. I thought my solution was a pair of DT770 .... but I hated them, they sounded aweful! From a closed back isolation point of view the AKG 550 MK2 keep popping up...

I have an old Fubar DAC (ii i think) and iCute amp combo to power my DT990 pros (250ohm). Wondering if a dragonfly black v1.5 will sound much different and whether it would be an 'upgrade' or not?

I've been happily running my iPod classic via a fiio e7 but have suffered from one huge issue, the line out cable. I treat the cables with care but I'm on my second failed fiio L9 and I've had enough!! Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced line out cable that works and keeps working for...

Can anyone recommend anywhere decent in the UK that does ear impressions, custom iem tips and plugs? In the market at the moment, I'm after impressions, custom tips to fit some shure units and plugs for attending shows. Sent via tapatalk on phone, excuse the typos!

I'm after recommendations for somewhere to do my ear impressions. Ultimately I want to produce a pair of ear this for some shure hear I have and get some decent ear plugs with filters made up. Anyone you guys can recommend? Sent via tapatalk on phone, excuse the typos!

I was looking at flashing RockBox onto my iPod but I'm now confused about my whether I'm on a 5G or what they class is a '6G'? Reason I wanted to give it a chance is I've been trying syncing via foobar instead, slowly but surely tracks which have worked when I'm out and about just hang and...

Can't seem to find one of these at the moment, they're all for the fiio players :-/ 

I have a fiio e7 on the way and was wondering what cables I should buy? I'll be using it with a selection of iems, an iPod classic 5g, and on planes, so assume I'll need an adaptor and some other small cables. Clueless at this point as it's the first portable dac/amp I've had. Sent via...

I'm doing more and more commuting as time goes on, I'm looking for better isolation and noise cancellation than I currently get with the Havi B3 Pros & VSD3s.   I know better isolation is generally accepted to be preferable over noise cancellation but I can't push the boat out too far without...

Both of these noise cancelling models have caught my attention recently as I'm tempted to give them a go whilst traveling on trains and planes, instead of my Havi B3 Pros and VSD3s/5.... looking at the age of the model however they're looking pretty old, i think the earlier model has been going...

I've been playing with various chinese IEMs this last 12 months, vsd3s, vsd5, havi b3 pro mk1s... And a handful of others. I've been enjoying my music way more and will start to use them traveling more shortly, I've never been amazed or content with any of the above so am looking for something...

I don't fly regularly but will be doing a long haul this year at some point. I'm planning on taking my Beyerdynamic 250ohm with me, with an as of yet unspecified player, probably an existing iPod though. I was looking at the topping but at best it looks to only last four hours :-/ Are there...

I'm after a cheap protective case for my beyerdynamic DT990s, seen a few of the usual auction site but wondered if anyone had knowledge of stuff the cheaper end of the scale?

I've decided I want to give the beyers a go, I need to make my mind up quickly though.      I'm a fan of the Superlux Evos and the 668Bs, I have the option of the DT990 and 770 to go for but I can't make my mind up which? They'll mainly be for office use too? I listen to all sorts of music so...

I'm wanting to get a small setup to stream alac and flac files from my NAS to a system next to my bed. Ideally I want to be able to mess with usb dacs or at least use one with config instead of relying on inbuilt sound cards. Assume I'm using low impedance gear, or have use of an amp. Am I...

I've been getting into my bargain audio recently and have always, always wanted to know what the fuss about valve/tube amps! My budget is by no means large, I want to spend as little as possible. I currently run a fubar dac, the one with a dog on it, and an icute amp not sure of the model. I...

I was wondering if anyone has tried any of the USB dab devices with any success? I know I can stream but was thinking I could have radio at work without streaming. So far I've found a couple of cheap $8-10 DAB usb sticks, I was thinking it may be better to perhaps get a compact portable unit...

Are there any suppliers out there that will send you a selection of different types of tips for IEMs? In fairness all I'm after at the moment are some hybrid foam/silicone tips but I wouldn't mind trying a few different types of flange etc too.

Well I'm torn, I've recently gotten into my bargain quality audio, I like the Soundmagic E10 but don't find them overly comfortable. From a headphone perspective I love the superlux hd668b and even the evos! I do prefer the soundstage of the 668b and isolation when outside along with cable...

I've been using the sound magic e10's for a few years now, I'm still pretty happy with them except the fits never been brilliant for me. The default alternative tips appear to be comply tips but I love a good bargain and have a few quid spare in the paypal account.... So what cheap tips would...

I've recently been trying to pick up a preowned set of DT770 or DT880 but compared to other models from what I'm reading, the failure rates are sky high particularly with drivers failing on either side. I'll be honest and say it's totally put me off, am I panicking over nothing or am I correct...

I'm after a cheap desktop setup for work, but am being a little demanding. Although using Superlux HD681 Evo's at the moment, there is a chance I will upgrade to AT or AKGs later down the line. I'm essentially after a cheap usb DAC amp combo complete with volume dial (not buttons!) suitable...
