So I'm in the market for new IEM's after the dog ate mine.   Looking for a decent set in the $100-$150 range. Listen to all sorts of music - Metal, EDM, Hip Hop, Podcasts. Doing my research I think both the SE 215's and GR07's sound like good candidates for me. Decent bass is something I'm...

I'm on the hunt for new IEM's yet again and considering a few options with the following criteria:   Around $100(range up to $150 for a great deal) Need good isolation for the subway Low microphonics for walking around NYC, running, gym, etc. Worn over ear   I won't be amping...

Hi All,   I have been reading through the headfi threads regarding DACS, Amps and the like. I've made the decision to start building an audio rig but am starting small. I currently run my laptop straight to my AudioEngine A5's and use IEM's with my Sansa Clip+.   The first step it would...

Both of these are comparable in cost and are well liked IEM's. I had UM1's but they met their untimely demise by dog. I liked them well enough and would consider a repurchase but the RE0's are getting a lot of press around here. I'm looking for: -Good isolation for subway -Very little or...

I'm looking to replace my UM1's which were attacked by a family dog. I would consider these again but wanted to see if at that price point(about $100) there were other better options. I listen to music and talk radio unamped from my Sansa Fuze - rock, metal, techno and some hip hop so an all...

Hi I'm looking to be done with my onboard audio and headphone jack which only feeds one speaker half the time. My budget is around $100. These will be going to my Audioengine A5's. Thanks!

Looking to purchase speakers to use from my laptop through a DAC and my budget is such that I would look to spend $200 at most on speakers and about $100 on the DAC. With that budget the A2's caught my eye for being a value however them being considered "near-field" is a concern. These will...

I searched through the forum but couldn't find a clear answer. I am looking to upgrade from my laptops integrated audio and the Audioengine A2 caught my eye as a solid and small desktop speaker for my bedroom. I would like to buy a USB DAC and am considering a couple(EMU 0202 or HotAudio)...

to improve my laptop integrated audio what would be an optimal setup. I'm a total noob when it comes to DACs, amps and the like. The 400 should include some speakers. Is this budget possible? I know I'm not going to get great sound but just looking for good sound for my buck.

I have a 2 yr old ASUS laptop with integrated audio and I'm looking to buy a set of desktop speakers. Would spending the money on the Audioengine A2 or Swan D1080MkII. Would these be overkill? Should I save the money and get Creative T20 or the like? I would love to buy a desktop with a nice...

Does either have any advantage for an MP3 player on the go or in a pocket? I would worry about stress on the headphone jack and the headphone connector.

Well my sisters dog to be exact Ok so I am looking for an IEM replacement under 100$. Driving them with no amp - just the old Iriver H120 or soon to be Sansa Fuze(probably) Needs good isolation for NYC subway I like behind the ears for working out/running I have previously had Shure...
