    Huge difference between ATH-WS50 & ATH-WS70?

    I'm looking for a new pair of commuter/office cans and have managed to demo a number of different options.   First things first, the ATH-ES10 fits the bill perfectly, but at over SG$700 it's a tad out of my price range for a potable headphone!   I've worked out that I enjoy the Audio...

    No love for Sony XB 700?

    Haven't seen much written on the Sony XB series, so thought I would add some very brief impressions. Briefly auditioned the XB 700 at Sim Lim Square in Singapore this afternoon. Unfortunately I didn't have my Zune on me, so music was supplied by Sony (and could be coloured by the music they...

    JVC HA-S900 Any opinions?

    So I've been looking for a pair of protable headphones and have been doing the search thing - HD-25/ES7/Bose OE/PX200/etc. My main criteria (apart from sounding great) is comfort and a padded headband, but not too large that I look like a starship trooper. For reference my Eggos stick out...

    D2000 and Audio Technica owners I need your help

    For all those who own or have demo'd both the D2000 and any of the ATH A or AD (500/700/900/etc) models I'd really like your help. I've been thinking of getting the D2000 for some time and I finally got a chance to audition them this week. I loved the depth of the cups and the level of...

    I'm about to move apartments and will be moving into a place with a lovely balcony, where I plan to work from once or twice a week. I'm looking for a pair of open or closed phones that will simply melt away on my head and can be worn comfortable for a couple of hours at a stretch. Noise...

    Yuin PK3 - A modest review

    I've been searching for a pair of earbud-style cans for the past few weeks after I got my Zune 8. I've owned a pair of Ety ER6i's for about 2 years and love them to death, but I'm missing some of the warmth and "fun" that I get out of my Grados. So a trek down to Jaben and Uncle Wilson and...

    W1000 + Amp/Dac OR unamped AD2000?

    So I've been looking at a few different combinations of cans and I think I have narrowed it down to either the Audio Technica W1000 with an amp/dac like the iBasso OR going unamped and getting the AD2000. Anyone got any experience with either the W1000 and what it takes to amp it or used the...

    Something Old - Something New

    I'm at the stage of upgrading my PC set up and have started narrowing down the options. I'm a huge fan of my Ety 6i's and am looking for something that has similar sparkle. *Yes, I own a pair of Grado SR60's and am happy with them, but still looking for something more comfy* I've been looking...

    Do your ears a favour!

    Just a plea to all you out there who get your ears cleaned out once in a while (yeah no graphic details of the gunk that my ears produce). Had my ears syringed by my doctor today and they are clear as a bell. Paper rustles, I can hear cars coming, all good stuff. Decided to pop the old IEMs...

    What would a perfect headphone store be to you?

    So I've been thinking about this for a while. What would be the perfect environment for people to come and buy headphones? I know part of the joy of these forums is the "unknown" factor. Unwrapping a box from a store or website and finding out what the end result is, but if you could but...

    What to Do, What to do? Zen 20gig cheaper than iPod Nano!

    I wanted to get some people's thoughts on a product comparison. I live in Singapore so prices for Creative gear is always a little cheaper but this is what I'm faced with: iPod Nano: Looks gorgeous, is small (I travel a lot so this is important) and around SG$436 for a spanky new black 4gig...

    Just looked at the launch price for the Zen Micro in Singapore. Zen Micro: SG$529. iPod Mini: SG$458 I know there is an extra Gig in there, but still. Here again was an opportunity for Creative to shift the game and take it to Apple but they have decided to take a bizzare pricing...

    Apple's Airport Express

    Wow, well Apple has come up with some interesting solutions to streaming music around the house/office. Probably raises the question how will encoded music files sound through some of the higher end receivers. Airport Express

    iRiver IMP 550 - Hit or Miss?

    Well, after reading many reviews and suggestions on Head-Fi I've finally bitten the bullet and bought myself a shiny, new, silver IMP 550. I chose it on the basis of my listening style. I have neary 20gigs of songs, but I rarely listen to them all at once, and I figure if I am away...

    How good? ATH-AD500/900 Air Headphone

    I'm spending a bit of time in Singapore this month and I took myself off to Sim Lim Square to gaze at all the new gadgets when I came across a store (Hung Bros I think) that stocked the ATH Air range. My question is: Just how do these phones compare against the ATH-A900/500 range. I...
