I am looking for bluetooth IEMs that:   - are between $10-$250 - have a very, very small footprint--specifically I want to be able to wear earmuffs over them without pushing them too deep into my ear - have a 6+ hour battery life - preferably foam tips   Do such IEMs exist yet?

Not in that way!   What headphones do you think would be ideal for wearing to sleep? Why is that?   Budget is under $300 USD. I think I should prioritize comfort over anything else for this purpose. Sound is important but comes second to comfort. Any advice?   Thanks in advance!

I hope this isn't too much of a far fetched post. Basically, I am obsessed with the super wide airy sound with crispy, fast bass the DT880's provide, but I want the sound in IEMs. Unamped.   What are the closest IEMs to this sound? My budget is $200 USD / $260 CAD / ￥25,000. Thanks in advance.

I've tried to do as much research on my own as I could before starting this thread because I know the thread topic is way too broad to begin approaching.   So here's what I have:   - FL Studio 10 - Roland Cakewalk A500 Pro MIDI Keyboard - A computer (16GB of ram, i5 2500...

Introducing, from the New ''X'' Art series, the ATH-A900X   Hello everyone!   I’ve been a long time lurker on head-fi.  As of this post, I’ve barely contributed 315ish posts over the course of 5 years.  Having been a member for this long, you can imagine how many pairs of headphones I...

Hello all from Japan!   I'm here on a 4 month exchange, and it just occured to me that pricing should be different here--I mean, places like AC are a tad pricy because of the whole import thing.   I have been looking around for headphones but I barely know what to look for (let alone...

I've been eyeballing the NuForce HDP for a few hours now, but at $450 Canadian, I can't seem to swallow that price tag.   I currently use the Maverick D1 TubeMagic DAC (similar to the Zero DAC for those who don't know), and I feel the need to upgrade.  Here's the silly part: This is going to...

I know that the purpose of a high quality DAC is to try to reproduce sound as accurate to the source as possible, so I don't know how to word this--I wish to seek out a DAC that will turn neutral sounding speakers to something more ''fun''.   For example--while I love my Beyerdynamic...

I'm interested in a DAC + amp to power Paradigm Atom bookshelf speakers.  I was wondering if there is a good ratio on how much to spend on a DAC vs an amp.   I started playing around with combinations:   $130 Nuforce uDac2 + a $200 integrated amp like the Pioneer A-35R $220 Maverick...

I've had this issue for a while, where one of my speakers' audio cuts out (or rather, it gets really muffled sounding), and I can correct it by playing around with the speaker wire, bending it and wiggling until the full sound comes back.   Does this not sound like a problem with the speaker...

I recently bought a pair of used Paradigm Studio 20's ver.2, an ''upgrade'' from my Paradigm Atoms.   I A/B'd them only to find that I actually like the sound of the Atoms more.  They fill the room better for a smaller size, the bass is consistent, where as for the Studio 20's there is no...

  I was wondering if any head-fi'ers had any advice for me.   I want to produce music.  Electronic music.  I have a passion for progressive trance, but my knowledge is non existent.  I've wanted to do this for over two years now, so I feel that my motivation won't fade anytime soon.  ...

Hello again head-fi!   I'm wanting to hear back from people who may have heard both phones.  I would like to know how the bass is on the AD900 vs the DT880's.  I currently own the DT880's and I'm currently finding it hard to swallow the price tag of the AD900 without knowing what to expect...

My Maverick D1 Amp doesn't have sound coming out of the left RCA pre-out. When I first received it, there was sound but the right side was noticeably more loud. Is this something I can fix myself? It sounds like an issue with conductivity. I've emailed the manufacturer (Ryan I believe?)...

So I'm looking to sell my Paradigm Atoms and my Audioengine A2's (AND my Shure E500's) and hopefully save up enough to buy myself a nice amp and passive bookshelves. I'm hoping to aim for about a $600 budget. A bit about myself: I love the Beyerdynamic DT880 sound. I listen to upbeat...

I'm afraid to ask. How much more money will I lose if I want a better DT880? By that, I mean.. I want a more engaging sound. I found out that I love midrange (after listening to Paradigm speakers) and I'm not a basshead afterall (learned after hearing the SRH840's, ick, way too much bass). I...

I received them today =] I just wanted to share my thoughts about them so far. My setup is: Macbook Pro (Mid 2009) -> Headphonia Lyrix Pro USB DAC + AMP -> Shure SRH840's. First impressions: Without even time for break-in, these sound great. Comparable to my Beyerdynamic DT880's, but...

So I've noticed over the past year or so that head-fi as a whole seems to go through phases of super-hyped-up-headphones and in the past few months, the Shure SRH840's were and still are in the spotlight! I remember browsing here over a year and a half ago, and all the hype was surrounded...

With a budget of about $150, what headphones would you recommend? - I like electronica - I plan to carry them with me often, I'd prefer portability - I'll be spending 80% of the listening time in a library, they should be closed type - I'm willing to buy used - The source will be a...

So, less than two weeks ago I finally decided to listen to all your suggestions and told myself ''to hell with PC speakers, passive bookshelves here I come!'' I managed to acquire a used pair of Paradigm Atoms v.2 (I'm in Canada) for $100. I'm pairing it with a cheap Quest QSR5000 receiver...

I was wondering if it's a worthwhile upgrade to go from my current audioengine a2's to the paradigm atoms or titans? I would also need to invest in a receiver of some sort. I want a more ''airy'' sound with more bass. Sure the A2's are very punchy but they don't give off a natural feel in my...

It's Mysteek here ^_^ I return with the need of buying new speakers. I will try my best to give out as much detail as possible with regards to my situation. Here goes: I feel that the Swan M10's aren't enough for me and they're also inconvenient to have a sub on my desk. They seem to be...

I think I've been lurking for far too long and I'm still undecided. I currently use the X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card and I feel that this is probably the weakest link. For headphones, I use the primarily the Beyer DT880 and Grado SR325i's and listen mostly to trance and rock. EDIT: I...

I tried looking around for a thread that would discuss these but I guess I'm either search-challenged or there really weren't any that were easy to find. I'm currently using the 325i's and there is one flaw in these that I have never experienced before (I also own MS1, SR60, DT880, KSC75, the...

This thread was created to discuss about anything FPS related, whether it be specific or just in general. I currently play Quake 4, Crysis, and Unreal Tournament 3. UT3 is SO fun on multiplayer! I'd like to try Call of Duty 4, as well.
