    Need some help deciding between IEMs ~$200. VSonic GR07 or Westone 2 or something else?

    Interested in this thread. I listen to almost the same exact music as you and I bought the re400s. They sound good for 100 bucks but I want something more. I'm coming from 500 dollar full size cans and these sound adequate but not mind blowing.

    Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    Just got this thing.  Burned it in for about 100 hours.  It was very harsh at first, almost shrill. Bass?  Forget about it.  It warmed up a bit throughout the break in.  I actually prefer my 300 dollar netbooks headphone input with stock earbuds over this Zero.  I have beyer 880s 250ohm.  The...

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    Should I buy the M-stage first and then the Mini-I later...say 6 months down the road?  Or the other way around?  Im using Beyer 880s 250ohm.  My sources are an xbox 360, ipod, and laptop.

Thanks.

    Is there a hi-fi way to connect to a xbox 360 and a ps3 (Im guessing optical would be the best connection) I have beyerdynamic 880s.

    Cheapo to plug into a tv

    Im a complete newb when it comes to head-fi. My friend turned me on to some Beyerdynamic 880s and I have loved the very little use I have got out of them mostly listening to my ipod.

    Best Soundstage? Headphones for Gaming :)

    I just dont know how such an inexpensive headphone can do so much. How about the 880s . Im just about ready to pull the trigger on these and a darkvoice 336. Would it give me great improvement over stand alone AT phones?

    DT-880s a bit too bright; HD-650 or D2000?

    I just sold a pair of d2000s to fund my dt880's. I play alot of games and I heard that these phones paired with a darkvoice 336 is a good starter rig. I wanted to get hd650s but everyone comments they lack a soundstage important for games.

    Flawless headphones under $500

    Im using a denon avr-988. Are the hd650s that power hungry? Do you see what I mean when I say no owner seems happy? Out of the thousands of headphones created no one can recommend one without being contradicted.
