So I've been out of the quality headphone (iem) game for awhile. I've been basically going through a lot of cheap headphones and want something that will last long and sound better. Basically I'm looking for something that will last a little longer and sound better. The most important things to...

I'm not a huge fan of dell, but my dad has get a special deal on them through his work, so it's my only option. Any recommendations on good dells for gaming? Should I go with the portable or "desktop" processor? I want it to be light enough, battery life isn't as important. I'm considering the...

Any bands or albums have a sound like old-school Infected Mushroom (ala Classical Mushroom)? I'm asking because I personally hate infected's new stuff. I also don't like lyrics in my trance. Suggestions (contemporary and old)?

Seriously the colors in the new forum are still too bright. I know there were other threads complaining about the new look and functionality of the site. But none of the other problems make it literally painful (for my eyes) to visit this site. And the white background just makes it worse. I...

These threads are seriously clogging down portable audio. Is anything being done about this? I know I'm guilty of starting these threads too, but when 1/3 or more of the threads in portable audio are "recommend me" threads at any given time, I think there's a problem. What do members as well as...

I know this game is old, but I just got it recently and I think it's awesome (despite how easy it is to steal the princess with all the glitches/exploits etc.) Anyway I mostly play team deathmatch and invasion (the very rare times that you get decently filled invasion games) and I think it's...

I have lived in this terrible cultural wasteland of a state for most of my life. Current and former Iowans, I'd like to hear your horror stories.

Anyone else think the Academy is losing it (just kidding, I don't know if they ever "had it.") It seems absurd that this movie would be nominated, but I guess "Juno" won an Oscar.

Do you find that electrostats or dynamics reproduce stringed instruments more realistically? I'm just wondering because it seems like the two approach the instruments used in classical very differently. I'd have to say dynamics sound more realistic to me, but I don't have a lot of experience...

Strings always sound weird in ba to me, just too smooth and "blunt" kind of. Anyone else have this experience.

Post your favorite lowkey, perhaps trippy, electronica artists. Right now I'm liking the Boards of Canada and Carbon Lifeforms.

Basically, my current cable does not look like it will last too much longer, (it's frayed near the connection to the drivers) and it's always been this iem's weakest point, as it's too light to stay in place over my ear's consistently. Is cable replacement on these an option? Also, I'd...

The silicone tips it comes with are uncomfortable. I've been using comply t400 tips, but they suck out the highs. Any suggestions? I've heard some recommend UE bi-flange tips.

Looking for opinions on how these two tips affect iem sound differently (if at all.)

I'm considering getting either of these phones, cost is not an issue. My initial impulse is to go with the triples, but I'm wondering if they just have a more "fun" (and not accurate) sound.

I just bought a pair of ck100. They sound great out of my ipod (no buzzing), but from my computer I get to enjoy all the inner sounds of the computer, which sucks. It seems to me that the cheapest way to resolve this would be to buy a cheap amp (like fiio e5.) What would you guys suggest? I'm...

I just got it and it feels soooooooo dumbed down from Morrowind (the leveling system, never missing with weapons, never failing to cast spells etc.) On top of this there's very little immersion because the fast travel system is not implemented into the game world at all and because of the closed...

So basically I want to connect my iems to my ps3. And I believe you can connect headsets through either bluetooth or usb. I bought a usb connector (for computer) but it didn't work. So now I'm thinking bluetooth might be the way to go. But I'm hesitant because I suspect it will be substantially...

Sorry if the thread title is a bit confusing. I don't have an axe to grind with any particular mod. And I haven't personally been affected by this issue, but I have seen it come up several times. I think that mods are and should be true members of the community. At the same time, I think that...

Well, I'm planning on getting a ck100, but I'm unsure about tips. I've ordered a pair of comply t400s, but these are mainly for when comfort is more important than sq, because in my experience foam leads to rolled off highs. Are there any tips in this size that you'd recommend that are...

I am posting this thread because I have heard several times that the er-4S is the most revealing iem. However, when I compared it to my lambda pros, there was no comparison. The difference was night and day. I was surprised and my first thought was "If the er-4S are the most resolving iems...

I am looking for an iem with good imaging, detail, treble extension, and bass that is punchy, detailed, and controlled. I mainly listen to downtempo/trippy electronica and classical. When I listen to electronica, the most important things to me are detail, good highs and textured mids and bass...

I've been reading up a lot on the ck100 on head-fi lately. I feel like I've got a fairly good idea of what the treble and mids sound like, but I've heard wildly differing opinions on the bass. Anyone want to describe the bass to me and compare it to k701 bass (this is close to the bass I am...

Is it possible to get custom tips and/or molds for these two phones, and who makes them?

I ask this question because the jh13s are the first iem I have ever heard claim these frequency ratings. Many have declared that they prefer that the jh13s outperform their full-sized cans, and this has deeply intrigued me. Yet others have stated that armatures are simply incapable of...
