I'm currently auditioning two sets of computer speakers, the B&W MM-1 and the Audioengine A5+. This is my first time auditioning audio gear this high-end, and I'm not entirely sure what all to listen for. I was able to get the MM-1 for about half price (open box at Best Buy), and I got the A5+...

I got these to be used with my iphone 3g and MBP, but the microphonics drive me crazy even when I'm sitting pretty still, like at a table at a cafe. I was thinking about trying the addiem, since they are reported to have minimal microphonics, but the lukewarm reviews have me concerned. I'd...

Well, what they say around here about head-fi being bad for your wallet is definitely true. I've recently found full-sized headphone bliss in the D2000, but now I can't stand to listen to my stock apple earbuds. I've also learned to hate my car speakers, but that's another story. I have some...

Is it worth placing an order there, or will it be out of stock forever? The only places that have it in stock cost like $100 more. Ouch.

I'm stuck beween these ~$200 choices. I want a comfortable closed can, preferably with fabric or velour earpads, but the priority is comfort. I can't differentiate between the Ultrasones; I find the product lines very confusing (pro or HFI? what's up with switchable earpads?. I currently have...

I'm currently within the return period for a pair of Creative Aurvana Live!, which are nearly identical to the Denon D1001, and the Audio Technica A700. The A700 is far more comfortable and sounds far better, but my ears still get hot. My problem with the 1001 / Live! was both the sound and...

I'm about to purchase these for use at the office (cubicles, people 10+ feet away). I really wanted to get the open version AD700, but I'm afraid of annoying people with sound leakage. Is this a good decision? Requirements: --Budget up to $150 --Music: alternative, electronic, world...

I've recently started working in a cubicle, and can't stand to have canalphones in for that long, so I need to get some new headphones. It's not that noisy a place, so I don't care about isolation, but I don't want to annoy everyone else with my music. I don't listen to it very loudly, but my...

I had decided to get a refurbed iipod video 30 gb, but now I've downloaded a trial of rhapsody to go and I'm pretty impressed. Is it worth getting the Rhapsody Sansa player, or should I stick with a larger hard drive player like the Creative Vision W (my second choice after the iPod, since...

I've never had an mp3 player before, but I've decided to take the plunge and ask for one for this year. I have no idea what I want. The only requirement I have is that it be hard drive based. I'm no audiophile, so the best sound quality would be lost on me. I'll use it mostly in the car, or...
