    REVIEW: HiFiMAN RE-ZERO. Top of the IEM Food Chain? Let's Find Out!

      Tricked you! This isn't a review. At least not yet. However, there have been several requests for impressions of the mysterious HiFiMAN RE-ZERO, so I guess I'll go ahead and post a really, really brief summary first.   First, let me make it very clear that I received these earphones as...

    RE-Zero In-ear headphones Limited Edition Sample Give Away

    Haha. Since everyone is eagerly waiting for impressions, I guess I'll go ahead and post a really, really brief summary.   Let's start with the packaging. It's the exact same transparent case-like box that HiFiMAN currently uses, except with different stuff listed, of course.   Included...

    RE-Zero In-ear headphones Limited Edition Sample Give Away

    Thanks everyone!   I just received the HiFiMAN RE-ZERO earphones.   All I can say is. Wow.   These may be the best (subjective, of course) earphones I have ever heard, including the Sennheiser IE8 and the Monster Turbine Pro series.   For $99, you might as well start lining up...

    RE-Zero In-ear headphones Limited Edition Sample Give Away

    The Stax thread (New)

    Quote: Hmm, I've discharged and recharged the headphones several times already. Looks like I'll need a new pair of Stax headphones.    Any other ways to fix them?

    The Stax thread (New)

    I just got my first electrostatic setup!   It's a Stax SR-Lambda Pro with a Stax SRM-1 MKII.   However, I have a problem.   Every time there's bass, the left side of the Lambda Pro emits a heavily distorted rumble. The right side of the Lambda Pro is unaffected, and all other...

    What's That Headphone? It's _____!

    Thanks everyone!   I'll probably be getting these today. Hoping they have the transition drivers.

    What's That Headphone? It's _____!

    I'm pretty sure it's vintage.   It has the leather band that the older Grado headphones had.   I haven't received them yet, so I don't know what the driver screen is like.

    What's That Headphone? It's _____!

    Hello Head-Fi! I need your help identifying this Grado SR60! The seller described it as vintage, but I'm not too familiar with the vintage Grado lineup. I would like to know the differences between this model and the current SR60.   I have heard that some of the older Grado SR60 headphones...

    ATH ES7 vs. Klipsch S4 vs. Etymotic ER6i

    If you don't need isolation or amazing comfort, I'd say go for the Audio-Technica ES7. Vastly better in terms of sound quality.

    AKG K141 (Silver)

    These need no introduction. If you have listened to the venerable AKG Sextett line-up, then you know what the silver AKG K141 sounds like. Excluding the passive radiators and the "styling", the silver AKG K141 shares the same drivers as the AKG K240 Sextett. However, instead of being completely...

    Coaxial or TOSLINK to USB?

    Ah. Got it. I'm a dummy when it comes to electronics, but since USB and TOSLINK are both digital connections, this converter shouldn't technically actually affect the sound quality, right? Thanks, Leon

    Coaxial or TOSLINK to USB?

    Sounds great! Would that degrade the sound quality in any way or otherwise hinder the performance of the DAC? Also, I just wanted to make sure. This would work for my setup, right? Computer -> (USB to TOSLINK) -> This Converter -> (TOSLINK to TOSLINK) -> NOS DAC -> (RCA to RCA) -> Amp...

    Coaxial or TOSLINK to USB?

    Hello Head-Fi! I have a bit of a dilemma. I just bought an older NOS DAC that only supports coaxial and TOSLINK input. However, as far as I know, I only have USB output on my computer. What would be the "easiest and cheapest without sacrificing sound quality" way to remedy this situation...
