Looking for a portable audio recorder to record a lecture in a small/medium room and also perhaps some music(but that is just a bonus), budget around $100 I saw the Zoom H1n Handy Recorder...

so wanting to buy an open pair of headphones have like $80 to spend I have used grado 225's, allesandras ms1, denon d2000, m50x, senn momentum, 555's, 598s prefer open ended don't have an amp at the moment; can't really afford one. but i'm prolly gonna try out that vali-2, looks sexy as ****...

i went to the sxsw in austin, tx and Sennheiser had an area showing off their latest gadgets. really cool event, got to try out the momentum(which were ******* great, loved the design. very lightweight, perfect for a high quality portable headphones). also tried the wireless headphones they had...

I heard about the hm5 in the other thread and heard they are great. I am confused though are all these the same headphones?? I might want to pick up a pair but why are there like 5 different brands when they are all the same anyone know?

I think the comply t400 are fantastic. they are amazingly comfortable and isolates well but I find that they muffle the highs a little bit too much for my liking. Anything that has the same level of comfort but doesnt muffle highs? Thanks!

Hey there will be listening to almost exclusively classical music mostly orchestra pieces and was wondering what phones best reproduce classical. budget is prob around $50 but can stretch up if worth it. so something with great soundstage is a plus....comfort and isolation not AS important as...

So I HAVE to use CD's to listen and I need the best possible sound quality. My options are: -a sony D-NF400 -use the computer drive to listen -RIP cd's using flac and listen using onboard computer sound   OR I could buy like an ipod and load the flac cds onto it. OR something else....I...

i was thinking about some hd555 or hd595 but idk what do you guys think? it will be running through an audio-gd sparrow

I have a homesetup already with denon d2000s and an audiogd sparrow and the sound is great ,although the bass can still be a bit much at times,but I've been wanting to try some IEMs for the longest time. Ive looked around and the dba-02 look to be a really good value given the sound and the...

So right now I have an emu 0404 usb and the headphone output for the headphones is pretty bad. I am looking to upgrade to either one of these units but I am not sure which one. I've heard great things about both but I'm wondering how much of a jump the FUN is from the Sparrow? I've heard the...

So I was listening to the Beats today and I thought they sounded pretty good. I thought it sounded better than my denon d2000....What though!    Do you think it is because of my setup....or perhaps it was just because they played the beats loudly, and that made me percieve it to sound better...

I made a topic earlier but this one has a video now so people can easily see what the problem is. Basically the left earcup thing keeps coming off and idk how to fix it...glue maybe or something?? YouTube - MOV006.avi

I've seen other people have this problem as well so I know its not just me. The left earcup keeps on falling off the swivel and I have to keep putting it back on. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Im not sure but I feel like my d2000 could benefit greatly from a better headphone amp. The emu0404 has a built in amp but I feel like it could be better imo. Any suggestions on what I should/what should i upgrade? Should I keep the emu0404 as DAC? and just buy an amp and then just send...

i just recently bought some pk3's but i lost a few of coverpads/or they keep on falling off. Is there anything I can do? Maybe there are more sturdy durable ones that stay on better? where can i buy some?

Is there anything I can do? My ears are pretty bad with regards to wax and usually have to use debrox every so often and usually get them flushed out at the doctors. i want portable headphones to walk around campus/take the bus etc. do you think i could still use IEM's? are there something...

I know its somewhat of an unpopular opinion but at first they feel fine but after i have them on for a while i get some discomfort. i think its mostly just the cups. my ears get kinda hot and its gets kinda sticky. also its alot more straining on my neck as it weights alot(at least alot more...

so idk where else to go for this but i have some guitar hero drums and the wire got ripped off from of the jacks. I took a look at the wire and i see the hot wire protected in a rubber cable and the ground one which is just there in wire. Now what im confused is, i dont know what to solder...

How do you know what size to use? Say I want to recable using Mogami 2534...how do i know what size of nylon to use??? just 1 size for all of it? or will i need to get a bigger size for the main cable and then a smaller one for the 2 smaller splits??? also am I supposed to use heatshrink...

About 3 months ago while running up the stairs with my headphones I accidently stepped on the cord and actually yanked the headband connector out of its socket. nothing serious though. however about a week ago the sound on the right phone is starts cutting out. I opened them up and I didnt...

So I'm thinking I want to recable my ms1 well for 2 reasons. I kinda sorta yanked on the cord by accident and I think I messed up some of the soldering on the right ear cup, and also the cord gets tangled and really pisses me off So any advice on how to recable, any diy guides out there? any...

Out of these factors here's how I rank them in order of importance: sound quality/comfortable - This is the most important. I want good sounding cans that are comfortable. Everything else is secondary. leakage - I want minimal leakage, hence closed cans. isolation - This isn't too big of...

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/2639465-post544.html It looks really cool. How do I do this?

I realize my title is kinda of confusing. So let me run it down for you. With the emu 0404, I have it dedicated to use ASIO through foobar....so it exclusivly plays music through there and thus I get no sound through windows applications like firefox or whatever. Basically I what I want to...
