I'm SICK of trying tips...months of this just to get stuff falling out of my ear. Can someone PLEASE just tell me the WIDEST (>15mm diameter) and deepest silicone tips for Moondrop Blessing 2 and the like (wide nozzle)? Someone has to have the answer! I'd be most grateful! Thanks!

Hey all, To the point: I use Bose QC35s for everything except music listening - calls, video, etc. I use them without active noise cancelling because I don't like the feeling and I don't need it most of the time (99%). I recently bought QC45s and I was dismayed that it is not an option to turn...

Hi - I bought a bunch of these YEARS ago - I can't remember if they were Jlabs brand - but I just can't find them and they're by FAR my fav tip. The silicone is about 1 mm thick so the walls are not too soft like most tips are for my taste. Also there are 2 versions, the one at the top has a...

Just took out my stock TH900 and surprise surprise - earpads are disintegrating AGAIN! I'm sick of this, I admit I love the protein pads but this is ridiculous, I don't use my TH900 (I have 2, one stock and one modded) all that much, and every few months I take one out for a listen, and boom -...

Hey all! Thanks to everyone who made it, I was glad to meet everyone. I think the meet went well, always glad to chat with fellow head-fiers and of course try some different gear! My apologies since I was the organizer and was like 15 minutes late (there's always something...) and was a bit...

Hey everyone, I've been to a couple meets in the DC area, since I moved to TX, wondering if there are any local audiophiles in the DFW area that would be up for a meet one of these weekends? Reply with the gear you would be willing to bring and let me know, if we get a quorum, say 10 people...

Hi. I have had several iems, from the classic Triple-fi Pro's to my newest, Prophile-8. However, I find that my UM Mavericks still are the best because of the accurate sub bass, BAs just don't cut it for me. I'm honestly looking for the Hybrid IEM that will match my 009+BHSE rig. Price is no...

Here's the idea - highlight something you never heard before in music you thought you knew pretty well, and what gear brought it up. Examples: Candlemass - King of the Grey Islands, song: Embracing the Styx - I had never heard the echo of the bass notes 3:15 - 3:45. Gear: Galaxy S5 -...

Please help. Im looking for a couple interconnect cables, xlr terminated, with REAL balanced geometry. Im seeing a lot of junk with xlr connectors, and it is not clear to me if this is even pretend balanced or not. At any rate, looking for a pure copper, not spc, properly shielded, properly...

All right, experts. I saw this figure recently for an XLR cable: Can this really be considered "balanced"? I thought that you would need two black cables not touching, one for white, one for blue... Thanks in advance...

Hi all, After looking at some options, I think an Yggy + GS-X Mk II combo would be perfect. I would use my HD800, HD6XX, TH900, ZMF Ori with this stack. I'm not worried about frequency response synergy since I PEQ my headphones. Any comments, ideas, experience with such a stack? Would you...

Hi all, Looking for a good DAC/Amp that has 1) Microusb input 2) balanced output (2 3-pins, to send to a dedicated amp). Could be portable or tabletop, and could include any other features. Just want to be able to use my Galaxy S5 as source. Assume I have $3000 for budget. Thanks!

Hello, I'd like some recommendations on any closed-back planar headphones. I don't know there are many of them - I think some LCD- versions were closed.... but I'd like to explore other options as well, if they exist. Assume price is no object. Thanks!

I have a question for regular CIEM users: how is the feeling supposed to be? I ask because I had a pair made, they were so loose I had to refit them. Now they are back and seem ok, but they still dont feel sealed, like for example my iems with tips feel like they are sealed. Also if I speak I...

Sorry for no pics... but no outside difference anyway...   Basically a while back I bought a replacement battery for my 30GB X5L which had died years ago. Got it up and running, but realized that hard disk was NOT playing nice - interference from my phone and ESPECIALLY when charging was...

Hi everyone!     I am in the process of modding my TH900, had something to say and show, so here it is:   First, I had my stock TH900's, I love most of all the elegant sound and the bass extension into 40 Hz. Don't like the 5 KHz spike, and rather uneven treble frequency response.  ...

Like the title says, I'm looking to have a 1/8" plug pro installed for my TH900, but not sure what shop can do this. Would rather have it be someone near Washington DC or east coast. Please give me some recommendations.   Thanks!

I've always loved music but never delved into equipment that much. Around 2006 I got my first iems (d-jays) and liked them so much I quickly got q-jays when they came out, then TF10s around 2008-9. But remembering further, I recalled I used to have a pair of Sennheisers I bought on a whim one...

Hi all,   My laptop has terrible sound coming from the headphone jack (compared to my Cowon, for example). I wonder if I could use a DAC, but don't really understand how it works. If I get the "right" DAC, does this bypass the laptop sound card completely, or does it rely on the sound card...
