HD 595? Boring. What's next?
Help, I need some new cans! I listen to all types of music, but mostly rock. My sources are cheap (phone, PC). My last set of cans was the HD 595 with a decent amp. That turned out to be wasted cash on my ears; I found the HD 595s to be seriously boring. I'm no basshead, but man cannot live on...- McQueen

Can it be done? I want to easily switch my PC's output from speakers to headphones.
I use my PC as the music source for my home receiver and it works really well for this purpose. What I'd like to do is have some sort of simple software toggle on the PC that would allow me to output the sound of the PC to either the optical out (which leads to the speakers) or a bluetooth...- McQueen

Good open earbuds for running?
I need help finding a good solution for running. I've tried my PMX-100s, but they require too much fiddling and adjustment during the run.

Pico DAC vs HeadRoom Micro DAC?
These two seem to be well-regarded in the approx $350 range. Lots of references to the Pico around here, not as much to the Micro. But I note that some prefer the Micro: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/he...review-436168/ Anyone else have experience with both of these units?- McQueen

Love the PX-100, but need more attenuation
I continue on my search for some urban walking phones to go with the iPod. I suspect I’m traveling an upgrade path which is well worn by Head-Fi’ers before me. The iBuds are too uncomfortable and tend to bruise my ears (not to mention the mediocre sound with no bass). I just picked up some Senn...- McQueen

Comfortable closed cans for travel
I'm looking for a pair of closed cans for travel (prefer circumaural). I'm replacing a pair of AKG K 26Ps that I have not been pleased with, in particular I was disappointed by the comfort (ouch!) and the isolation. My ears get very sore with tight cans that fit over the ear. Here are the main...- McQueen
