Haven't been here in a long time. I think the bass driver in my left Triple-Fi just quit. I tested multiple different tips and even tried it in both ears and a-b tested with right and the low end is all but gone in the left ear. Not sure if I should try to get a new cable or if something in the...

My Cowon D2 is beginning to show its age and I would rather buy a new player than just throw a 32GB SD card at the problem. After a long time away from Apple I think the 64GB Touch is my best option. Primarily I will be listening through my Denons, Koss CLips, and my soon delivered Triple-Fi...

My brother is a sound guy at a little venue in these parts and is looking to buy a decent set of cans to help with work and also so he stops stealing my Denon D1001Ks. The only flaw we find with the Denon's for this purpose is they don't block quite enough sound. Want a similar around $100 pair...

Been away for far too long and return looking for a player recommendation. I currently have a older Cowon D2 8Gb (16SDHC) and it has been pretty good to me. I like its sound, small size, and sweet as hell battery. However, even if I shelled out for a new 32SDHC card, I wouldn't have quite the...

The Alien plus the HEADSIX is a bit cheaper and i don't need a portable dac but the amp should be portable. The 2 Move is pricer but does it sound better? Looking for all opinions for a sub $200 amp / dac setup with at least the amp having portability. I use Denon D1001k's as primary listening...

Just ordered my Denon 1001k's and have some cash sitting around and my next obvious buy would be source stuff. I am using the crummy sound card in my ThinkPad and think a DAC could do some good. Also I have a Cowon D2 which could see benefit of an amp. I want something basic that is maybe...

I pulled the trigger on the first pair of D1001k's I found under 80 bucks on Amazon. The seller seems legit and hopefully i get these next week. Now my wallet will reload and I can consider Markl mods and eventually an amp so i can prepare to move into hp's requiring an amp.

Scoping out my next pair and these look so flippin cool. They seem to be well liked. I just want to know if they leak sound and if i can get a different pair of cans that don't leak and sound better for rock and metal at this price. Thanks for the help.

For anyone interested in great customer service on headphones, I just sent my UM-1's back for service when one ear went quiet. I actually spoke to a real person in Colorado Springs where Westone is located, they actually called me back to let me know they received my headphones and when they...

If detail is hearing every instrument and the layers they build, thats what I want. I had a good experience with AKG K240's but they are open and I need no leakage. I have IEM's and I'm not in love with them for anything but playing drums. $200 would be a fair budget. Right now the Denon...

After listening to a set of AKG 240s, I realized I am leaving a lot on the table with my current arsenal. I am in the process of getting my UM-1's repaired under warranty and now have a job which should allow me to get okay deals on a few brands of headphones. I am looking for metal, rock, and...

Damn you headphones. The right ear of my Westone UM-1's is very quiet out of every source I've tried. Sound is there but its very faint. What the hell should I do? I wiggled the cables and that changed nothing and tried 3 sources with the same problem each time. Am I screwed or should I call up...

I just got my first decent amp, a Traynor YCV20WR. Nice 15W tube, 2 channels with shared eq, reverb. Simple but nice sounding with my 2001 Ibanez Artstar AS120 and a Pro Co Rat for some of the distortion or just the nice sound of the amp. Just wondered who else rocked out and what you play. Bass...

...And I had a bit of an eargasm. I currently use PX100's most of the time which I quite enjoy but I wandered into Guitar Center today and convinced the sound guy to let me audition the K240's. So i plugged into my Cowon D2, put on some Jeff Buckley, cranked it the heck up (Now i finally...

The Denon D2000 is really appealing. I want phones with minimal leakage and an open sound and they seem to fit the bill. For the time being it would be used out of my Cowon d2 but I may get an amp or put together a Cmoy in the near future. I want something rocking and fun with good tight bass...

Okay quick closed phone question, of the Denon D1000, D1001 and the DT770 80ohm which is the best sounding. I need a closed phone to prevent leakage but i don't need much isolation. My tastes are generally rock, prog, punk, and metal. I like bass but don't need a ton of it. I like punchy tight...

So I think I want to know the Grado sound. I love rock, people insist the Grado sound suits rock. I just want to know whether to start with the SR60, SR80, Allessandro MS-1, maybe even SR125. I just would like to know the relative advantages of each product and whether the upgrade from one model...

Just curious if anyone has had experience with Creative's new X-Fi Notebook card in Linux, specifically Ubuntu or another debian based distro. I am looking at adding it to my T61 ThinkPad because the onboard is pretty bad through headphones.

My Archos 604's battery croaked and my 3rd Gen iPod's battery is on its last legs. I don't want to give Archos anymore of my money to replace the battery on a player i'm not in love with so i figure i should start fresh. Right now the Cowon D2 is tempting because of its SDHC slot. Also if its...

Although I've been listening to vinyl for a while, i really have no idea whats out there. I'm using my dad's old Technics SL-D202 and want to know what budget upgrades i could do. I need a new cartridge and if there are any essentials i need it would be nice to know. Mostly i listen on a really...

I found a Sony STR D715 receiver at a local used music store. They want $60 for it. I'm just curious is this worth my time and money. I'm a poor college student and i just want to hook a set of speakers to them in my dorm, hook my Technics turntable up, and blast my computer thru them. Its in...

I've had my Westone UM-1's for a few months now and I am getting to the point of needing some new tips. I like the small set shipped with them but wouldn't mind trying some other options. Is there a packaged set of tips (like the universal fit kit) thats fits on UM-1's without modification or...

I don't know if I just got the luck of the Irish on my side but I just picked up a pair of Senn PX-100's for $18.99 at my local Circuit City. Great Deal? or Greatest Deal? They sound great and fill my void for an open phone. Check out you local store and see if its closeout or something.

I got my UM-1's in and I am having what may or may not be a problem. The 1/8inch plug doesn't hold a good connection in my Archos 604 or my Sandisk Sansa when rotated. Also, if i jiggle the cable at the plug, I lose connection. This has never happened with previous headphones and for $110 I...

I just ordered my set of Westone UM1's and now I begin the waiting game... My ears will thank me later.
