You, looking at head-fi at the science library   Me, sitting somewhat behind you getting ready for my bio presentation           But seriously, you were sitting at one of the macs in the science library sometime this morning (9-10ish) browsing head-fi. I would have said hi (yes I...

While searching for custom tips for IEMs, I came across Puresound Eartips. I've looked online and it seems that they're only sold in the UK (shipping to the US is a lot of money). If anyone has experiences with these, I would love to hear it.

I have a 5 gen 60gb ipod that I've been using for a while. I dropped the ipod yesterday and it kind of broke on me. The audio outputs works but the screen outputs weirdly. I've dropped my ipod many times but this is the first time this has happened. When I press buttons or have any...

I dont know if this has already been posted but Senns putting out updated versions of their PX-100 and 200 portable headphones Sennheiser Worldwide: Microphones, Headphones and Wireless Systems

I first heard these headphones at the recent NJ meet. They were paired with the HiFiMan portable music player and thought the combo sounded amazing. Near the end of the meet, I asked Fang (Nankai on the forums and owner of head-direct) if I could borrow the prototype pair. He agreed and here we...

I'm a senior undergrad in college and I'm also in a start up company that me and my friends started up called Banyan Connections. We're looking for someone to help make us a logo. Is anyone here interested in helping us out?

Hey guys, one of the sides of my px-100 completely cut off today, and its because of the connection between the wire and the plug has basically broken. If anyone can help me out, please send me a PM. Thanks!

Once in a while, when a song starts, it would play the first 3-10 seconds of a song then a huge mess of screechy distortionish sounds come out and after I restart the song, the song plays fine anyone else have this problem?

After watching the Red Violin, I really want to listen to some gypsy violin music. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did anyone have any good or bad experiences with this site?

Uhh, I have no idea whose near Binghamton, NY (1 hour from Syracuse, NY and 3.5 hours from NYC) but if you're interested, I can get a decent sized room and have a decent mini-meet

So, yea hopefully something under $50. Any suggestions?

http://www.onheadphones.com I found it from the grado fan club facebook group. its a weird site. They gave the ksc75 like a .5/5 What?

So my dad is thinking about getting these (yea, I know) So, does anyone have anything similar to these and can shed some light on it? I've heard it and it was just amazing (I probably wont listen to headphones again if we get these) but the bass was a little much (but didnt mess with the other...

I'm looking for an amp for my grado 225s. I want the amp to be warm and bassy, a sennheiser-ish amp, without having bloated bass. Basically I'm looking for a tube-ish amp without being too tubey. Which one fits better, the PPA or the M^3? ooh forgot, My rig will probably be iriver...

So what are my options? I am looking for something that converts USB to optical or coax (coax preferred) so I can use a DAC with it.

So this is going to be the impressions thread. basically a thread for lan to put his pictures in. I'm too tired to post impressions now so I'll do it later, but mostly it was a Grado comparison between 4 mid/high end Grados and comparison between low range home amps.

So, how good is it? not worth it?

I'm looking for a DAC that takes both optical and USB inputs that I'll use with my computer and a iriver ihp140. I was looking at a Constantine and it kinda looks like what I want. Is there something else I should look at? My price range is below $200

There will probably be a small mini meet next weekend (Saturday 6/23 Time:TBA) at Columbia University. Myself, steve (laxx), Fang (Nankai) and lan is probably going to be there. This is probably going to be a tiny meet so answer to this thread fast! if you want to come!

Hello all I have gotten a pair of Shure e500s to try out from my good friend and I was not really impressed with them. They have really good bass response and nice mids but I'm not really happy with them as a whole. I guess the sound signature doesnt really agree with me. My favorite setup...
