    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
