I just tried updating the firmware again using a smaller 2 GB FAT32 microSD card. The player just reboots and doesn't actually update. So this means I need to try this other recovery method? Is there a detailed guide on how to do this update via the recovery method? What files/drivers do I...

So what is the upgrade process for my R3 Pro from 1.3 to 1.4 now? I just got the player from Amazon a few days ago and I have not been able to update the firmware 1.4 either using OTA or microSD card methods. OTA method tells me "checksum error" after the download finishes and microSD card...

Wow they look sleek and sexy for $400. Maybe when I'm ready to spend serious money I'll pick up a pair. Impressions above make them out to be very detailed, dynamic with excellent range, and comfortable without compromising aesthetics.

I don't own many. Gotten rid of some the last few years too. Full-Sized: 1. JVC HA-RX700 - I use these mainly at home. The long wire and large size make them unweildingly clumsy for on-the-go. They have a nice laid back signature and are quite comfortable with minimal clamp. 2. Sony...

I got a pair through NewEgg for $25 (refurb).  I spent a few hours listening to some of my Google Play Music collection.  Overall, they seem a bit veiled (sometimes it seemed like the mids were recessed), but I think that depends greatly on the type of music.  I found bass-heavy songs with...

Was riding the bus to work this morning.  Noticed this student (assumption) wearing a pair of B&W P5s.  Not my first time seeing him, but sure made me all giddy with excitement.  Then this girl sits down next to him wearing a pair of Beats Solo and I couldn't help but frown and turned away in...

So my brother bought a pair of HD419's off Amazon refurb'd for the low, low price of $10.  Now after normal wear-and-tear, sound only comes out of the left ear cup.  Nothing out of the right.  I'm wearing them now and the wire doesn't seem to be at fault.  I've wiggled it and slowly inserted the...

That's a lot of cash for a pair phones.  I hope they are worth the $5000+ people shell out...  Makes the budget stuff I have feel tiny, they don't even have as many zeros in their price tag.  :S

Every headphone has it's own sound signature and in the end, it depends on what the listener wants out of a given pair of cans, what sound he/she is looking for, whether or not they like bass/clarity/detail, etc.  Personally, I find both to be on the bass heavy side because I usually prefer...

Just a note before you read the rest of my post: I have not burned in my 8323s enough yet (only about 6 hours on them).  I have read burn-in opens up the mids a bit more (impressions from other members says it's not significant).   Second, don't post a reply so quickly after your first post...

1. Coby CV185 2. JVC HA-RX700 3. Soundmagic PL18 4. Phillips SHL9500   Since I'm more on the go nowadays, I've been grabbing for my cheapy Coby CV185s the most.  When I'm at home, I reach for my HARX700s for some nice quiet personal listening.  The PL18s are fun and dynamic, but with...

Hmm...comfy eh?  Going off of just TSIG's video review, seems like something I would have added to my wishlist if it weren't for the inline volume controller and the flat cable.  Other than that, sounds like my HARX700s.  I usually don't like inline controllers since they usually break.  Minimal...

It looks very suspect.  Even tempted to say "scam" site:   Compare this page: http://www.first-class-headphones.com/Monster-Beats-Mixr-p/mr-mixr.htm To Best Buy's reviews page: http://reviews.bestbuy.com/3545/4676961/beats-by-dr-dre-mixr-over-the-ear-headphones-black-reviews/reviews.htm...

The JVC HA-RX700 wouldn't make great gaming phones (again soundstage is an issue with most closed or semi/ported phones).  The HARX700s are ported (or semi-open, mostly closed) phones and I find them to be great for jazz and vocal pieces.  Can't speak for the Superlux or Samson as I don't own...

Wow, I'd thought there'd be at least a few replies since last year.  Apparently I was wrong.   I just got my RX700 last week and they've had a bit over 55 hours of burn-in time through a range of music in my collection.  I have to say that it just seems mids are recessed a bit behind the...

You are sitting on a train by a girl wearing a pair of Sony phones and trying your hardest to squint and make out which model they are.  Failing that, you blindly guess they are probably crap low-end MDRs (like the V150s) because how many everyday people wears a nice set of cans out on a walk? ...

Not sure if this was ever posted:     I'm pretty sure those are Grado RS2 Reference Headphones around Auggie's neck.    It's one of my favorite shows and I was rather surprised to see a pair of Grados when I first started watching the series when it premiered last year.  There's...

I'm forming a opinion here from several reviews/threads on these phones.  Of those three phones I only own the HARX700 (and it hasn't even arrived at my doorstep yet).  Not sure if size is an issue for you, the M750 and V6 are portable phones while the HARX700 is a full-size can.   From...

Is full frequency sweeps, etc, really needed?  Knowing that the typical human hearing range is only 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and some phones have a range of 18 Hz to 40,000 Hz, would people be able to tell that there's distortion at 35 KHz for example?   I ask since a lot of the reviews and buying...

Have you tried playing the track on a computer?  Maybe that particular track is skewed to the left.  I had a bad track once and thought it was my headphones.

I'm of a similar mind as MalVeauX.  Though, if I were in your position, I would have asked upon entering the store if I could have "comparison tested your headphone selection against my personal pair of ATH-M50.  If they had said no, I would have just walked out of there.    Headphones are...
