    Who here listens outside the house and prefers and open vented IEM instead of a closed one?

    I'm just curious since I'm gonna be buying a pair of UM customs very soon and wondered what some of you guys preferred?   Do you like the airy and open IEM's that seem to rival a headphone's sound stage and gives you a full encompassing feeling?   Or do you prefer more of a fixed yet...

    For Denon D7000 owners: What do you think they would sound like with the D2000 plastic cups?

    I'm just curious if anyone has ever thought of what they would sound like with the plastic cups? The D7000 has a more efficient driver so maybe it wouldn't sound too bad the plastic.  Maybe I'll try modding a pair just to hear it =)

    In a dilemma: Should I keep my headphones or go with a custom IEM?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have actually gone from a dedicated headphone setup to a pure iem setup? The reason i ask is because recently I've been thinking of selling my Denons and going with a custom IEM.  I've given it a bit of thought and I'll provide some facts to help as...

    There was a thread recently opened by another member on here to get people to donate to buy joker a pair of lcd-2's for his contribution to this forum.  I for one agree that his work deserves some type of award but just what award is up in the air.  I personally feel that the man has put SO MUCH...

    Audio Technica headphone tier line up questions

    I'm extremely unfamiliar with the Audio Technica lineup and always completely dismiss anything to do about them. However recently I made a deal with a fellow head-fier to audition his pair of AD2000's and I was wondering how their audiophile line up went. While browsing through their "Audiophile...

    Can anyone please help labeling this GZ34 Metal Base Tube please?

    Hey everyone, I've recently added a new tube to my collection but I'm trying to find out exactly which one it is. I know for a fact that it's a GZ34 metal plate, was $250, and while looking at various pictures the only one I've seen with an "BVA" label is a mullard. I've searched online and...

    Anyone else feel that vocals on the IE8's are veiled?

    I just got these a week ago and was just wondering if anyone felt the same way? I like the bass response these give but it just sounds a quite bit too "veiled". Man I wish I could just find an IEM that will give me the mids/highs of the RE0 with more bass impact. Lol it almost seems like the...

    How much more bass / lower end impact does the HD650 have over the HD600?

    Alright, I been listening to my pair of MarkL Modded / J$ padded D2000's and I keep comparing and contrasting to my HD600's. I love the sound of the HD600's but they're severely sound lacking in the low end (I listen to a lot of hip hop, dnb, bass heavy music). I was wondering if moving up to...

    Please help with a new DAC: Nuforce HDP vs. Audio GD-19 (mk3 or newer version)

    Hey all, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to upgrade my DAC. I'm planning to spend a good $400-500 on one and I've narrowed it down to either a Nuforce HDP or a Audio GD-19 (either the mk3 or the newer version). I'm currently using an EMU 0404 USB and I'm sure either one would be a...

    What to expect from going from HD600 to D2000/D5000?

    Hey everyone, I own a pair HD600's and while I really do like their sound, sometimes I feel the need to have a a bit more impact on the lower end of the sound spectrum. Recently I've become VERY curious about how the denon's would sound. The denon's are known for their thunderous bass but I...

    Hey all, I was just looking for any opinions regarding the sound of these two compared to each other? I saw a quick review on the udac thread but it wasn't too indepth. Any thoughts would definitely be appreciated. -Cedric

    Should I get a little dot mk III or darkvoice 336 for hd600?

    Hey all, I know this has probably been discussed to death but I'm pretty much new to the whole tube amp thing. I'm curious about your guys thoughts on these 2 amps with the hd600? Which would you buy if you had the money for either and why? It seems like I couldn't go wrong with either one...

    Why do my EH350 sound better than my HD595?

    Hey all, I'm very curious why my EH350's sound better than my HD595's? I figured the 350's were supposed to be inferior to the 595's. Granted the 595's are better in soundstage but for one I took a look at this sound frequency chart and figured the bass on the 595's were superior...

    Can anyone recommend an iem like the re0 but with more bass response?

    Hey all, I just came into a little bit of a predicament. I love my re0's and I just bought a pair of ne-6 / ne-7's for my friend. I took a bit of a listening to the ne-6 / ne-7's and they do a lot better representing the bass of the music (especially while playing video games). I'm curious if...

    To reshell re0's or not to reshell?

    Hey all, I'm kinda in a predicament after reading this thread on reshelling iems: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/i...earing-454174/ I really enjoy these headphones but I know for a fact that I could use some better tips on my re0's since I use them all the time. I'm curious if it...

    What to expect from going from re0 to jh13 pros?

    Hey everyone, I recently bought a pair of re0's about a month ago and they have been fine for regular usage. I really enjoy the flatter response of the re0's but I can't help but feel that there is more clarity and depth to be had in a iem. After reading about the jh13 pro's it sparks an the...

    Just bought a 1st gen shuffle, is the sound supposed to be mono?

    What up all, just bought a 1st gen ipod shuffle off ebay. I was wondering if it the sound output from it was supposed to be mono or if I'm just missing a setting in Itunes or somethin? I was hoping the soundstage was gonna be huge with it but when I plugged the shure530's in all I heard was hiss...
