Hi All - I wanted to get some non headfi-related advice.   I have an old Honda CR-V.  1997, 4wd, 160,000 miles.  It has a bunch of stuff wrong with it and im ready to get a new car but im wondering if its worth selling the car private party, and if not how /where do i sell it and what can i...

I'm looking for an all-around ~100 IEM that has an even sound without being wimply on the base (meaning, probably RE0's would be too 'balanced' for me).   From what I've read it seems like the SW-Xcapes and the RE-Zero's should be at the top of my list.     I was going to get the XCapes...

Hi all :) I know this is a subjective thing, but I'm looking for a pair of portable headphones that are not silly looking for use in public cafes.     Things that seem like they fit the bill looks-wise:   Senn PX100, Bose Triports, Bose on-ear.   Anyone have experience with the Senn...

I hope this hasn't been covered much, I tried searching. Basically, I'm looking for small, able-to-be-worn-in-public circum aural cans. I have sensitive ears, so after any sustained amount of time pressure is uncomfortable. Currently I have a pair of RP-21s, and I find them very...

Hi Everyone - I need some price checks on a few vintage headphones I have lying around. Stax Lambda (not sure which one, it has a number under the headband that says "[Lambda] 12130". I have a Stax SRD-X amp for them as well. AKG K 140 2X600 ohms silver AKG K 141 silver 4-600ohm...

SO here's my setup: Macbook Pro --> (18" stereo jack to RCA) --> Marantz 2270 Receiver (vintage solid state amp, before integrated circuits, i.e. more of a tube feel) --> the output is either to a pair of Kef iQ1 bookshelf speakers, or to a headphone jack. Now what I'm curious about is the...

I recently got a pair of AKG 141s (the old silver kind, 4-600 ohms) from someone on the forums here. They work great, and I love the sound. EXCEPT, there is a slight buzzing in the right cup. It seems to be bass-activated. Is this remotely fixable? I've tried applying pressure in different...

I'll be getting my first set of ~nice cans soon, and I'm wondering - my main source of audio for now is going to be a Macbook Pro. Is there an asymptote I should be aware of in terms of the output of the MBP not being improved (and perhaps made to sound worse) by nicer cans? Like, $100 cans...

We have lots of threads for pictures of headphones or setups - but I thought it would be good to post pics of people WEARING their headphones - so people can get an idea of different can's size and shape, etc, as well as how silly you might look on the subway! Just post a picture and the...

Anyone know a place where I can listen to a bunch of different cans in the East Bay, CA? I'm trying to decide on my first set of real cans, and am also trying to decide open vs. closed so I would REALLY like to not make this decision blind (or, um...deaf).

So I'm looking for a pair of closed cans that will be used for everything - listening to music, gaming, a bit of amateur recording, etc. Jack-of-all-trades type cans. I'll be using them mostly in a room with another person (hence why I think I need closed cans). I would like to use them while...
