Anyone else getting quite a bit of microphonics with these earbuds? These are my first pair of better earphones after using stock apple ones for a while. Everytime I move my head there is a  noticeable rustling sound. Btw I ordered them from gearbest.

When would you say is a good budget to upgrade?

Budgets around 100. I am not looking for a DAC but having one would be nice. I was just wondering if the DAC on my T430 would be sufficient or not.

I am looking for a new amp for my Onkyo ES-HF300 with AKG k545 earpads. Current setup is: Lenovo T430 > Fiio E07k > ES-HF300 I was wondering what would be a good amp to use with this setup or should I just stick with this for now?

I am thinking about getting the FiiO E07k since I found one at a nice price. 

Something under 100 preferably. 

Yea I really was hoping for someone else with those skills. 

So my current setup is a lenovo ideapad P400 laptop and my Onkyo ES-FC300 cans. The other day when I was listening to some music I noticed that there was a little static when listening to a couple of songs. So I was wondering if buying a cheap external DAC would help remedy that problem.

I plan to be there.

Alrite yea after some deciding, I'm probably gonna go with the FC300's

Im currently listening to electronic music but I want a pair which can handle all genres relatively well. And I do not plan on using an amp. 

What do you think about Onkyo ES-FC300 or V-MODA Crossfade M-80?

But those are open ear headphones and I would prefer closed for college.

I will be going to college next year and am looking for some pretty good sounding closed headphones for around 150. I'm not exactly looking for studio monitor headphones as I am looking for headphones for listening to music. Any suggestions?

I have a pair of M40's and I was wondering if there is a guide out there about how to covert the 1/4in cable to a 1/8in without needing to use the adapter anymore so that I would be able to listen to music on my mp3 player.

I currently have a Pioneer Stereo Amplifier AP-510 and would like to get some passive speakers which sound good in a variety of genres but mostly electronic with adequate bass and also are cheap. Any recommendations?
