    Will a modded PX200 sound like a PX100?

    I've received a pair of PX200 as a present and was reading up on them here on headfi. There were many comments on how even though it shares the same driver as the PX100, the SQ is awful because of the closed design. So that got me thinking, if I take them apart and drill some holes in the...

    Audio-Technica A900? A950LTD? A1000? Which to get?

    Recently, I got to notice these 3 AT cans and listened to the A900 for a while. I wasn't too familiar with the AT line-up, but the A900 sounded like a fair competitor to the DT770. That got me curious about the next 2 models up on the lineup. I've heard the A950LTD for a short time a few months...

    Recabled my k81dj with SPC cable. Better than Starquad!

    Just completed the recable on my k81!! I've been using canare starquad previously and though that was an improvement over the stock cable, the highs still needed some work and the overall warm sound of the cable coupled with the strong bass of the k81 makes it a tad darker than I would've liked...

    New UM1s been tweaked?

    Recently, I've seen a number of new um1 users here and elsewhere saying that the treble on theirs sound good, some even claiming some sibilance and sharpness to the sound. This is the complete opposite of what people have been telling me when I bought mine a few months ago and what I hear for...

    Not all Complys are created equal?

    I've recently decided to use some complys on my um1 for a long bus trip after a long spell with bi-flanges. The bi-flanges were a lot more convenient than the complys but I figured the complys will be more comfy on long trips where I do not have to take them on and off all the time. Plus I have...

    Can I use my Go-Vibe to drive my desktop speakers?

    Not exactly headfi stuff, but I was wondering if I could use my go-vibe to drive my powered multimedia speakers through my notebook's headphone out. Will there be any problems, like if the go-vibe is only designed for headphone use? I'm afraid to try it in case it burns out the amp or something.

    Do I need an amp if I listen at low volumes?

    As I understand it, what an amp does is to allow music to play at loud volumes without any distortion and to provide the power to drive high ohm headphones. If all my headphones are easy to drive and I listen at low volumes, doesn't that mean I have no use for an amp?

    Buying my first amp! LDM+, Xenos OHA-REP or Go-vibe v5?

    Finally! I've decided to get a portable amp but can't make up my mind which is better. I've searched for all the threads out there but can't find a direct comparision between these 3 amps. I plan to use the plan for my current cans k81dj, um1, ksc75. Can someone please help me get a better...

    Good Circumaural Cans for under $80?

    Just wondering what are the good circumaurals at this price range. Most cans that I've come across are all supraaurals, like Grados or AKG. I'm looking for a pair that'll be comfy for home use as I can't stand wearing supraaural headphones for a long period of time.

    Anyone modded K81DJ headband?

    Would like to know if anyone did any sort of mod to improve the comfort of their headband? My set will be arriving next week and just wondering what supplies I would need to pick up beforehand for any mods. Maybe those removable beyer pads?

    Anyone got eargasm from AKG k81DJs?

    Like the title said. I mean, I know they're good. But just how good really? Good as in price-to-performance ratio good or OMG-I-think-I-just-wee-my-pants-a-lil-there-just-now good? Do they inspire eargasms like the Grados do?

    Newbie with um1. Yay!

    Well, after spending ages reading forums, reviews, wringing my hands, bashing my head, agonizing over E2c, im716, 3studio, ER6i... I've finally settled on the um1s, for good or for bad. So I've plunked down my S$XXX and quite happy with it too! So, um1 users, how do they respond to EQing...

    Sg newbie needs help! Shure or UE?

    Hi all! I'm a newbie to the audiophile world and this site has really opened up my eyes! I've been using a low end philips canalbud for quite some time now for my commutes to college but while I love the form factor, I find the sound a bit thin and rather lacking in details and bass. So now's...
