    Cyberdrive Clarity Feather DAC

    Someone (presumably Cyberdrive) has sent me a bunch of in-ear headphones and the "Cyberdrive Clarity Feather DAC" for review. As far as I can tell, they never contacted me so I don't know how they got my details, though I do run a related website so it's not that unusual. They don't answer the...

    Cheap gym IEMs - unequal cord length, may with ear loop? (yes another thread sorry)

    I'm looking for some cheap gym in-ear headphones, definitely below $50, as cheap as possible for something that's comfortable. Sound quality isn't particularly important as with all the banging and music around you can't appreciate it, comfort is important. I really like unequal cord lengths so...

    Recommend the cheapest amp that's not awful for Mad Dog/Foxtex T50RP with Android phone

    I have a good setup at home (DAC/MisterX PPA/LCD2) but I'm looking for something cheap and not too nasty for work. Mains powered, very compact so I can lock it away if required, preferably in the $50 to max $100 price range. It will feed the Mad Dog modified T50RPs, which I'll only buy if I can...

    Recommendations for closed work headphones (replacing stolen A900's)

    I've had some 5+ year old A900 headphones stolen from work :( They're great headphones, great bass, detailed music, comfortable, and they block out enough external noise to be useful at work. I also own Beats by Dr Dre, Audeze LCD-2, Senn HD-280, have had those big comfortable Sony's with the...

    Doing a review of HD650 vs LCD2 (etc) and a couple of amps... any questions/areas to cover?

    I'm doing a review (that's not the review just saying that I'm doing it) of the HD650 vs the LCD2, with a headroom balanced desktop amp, along with my trusty PPA that has a DAC inside it. I asked on the blog if anyone had questions or suggestions for the review, but I figured this would be a...

    Have any audiocubes.com affiliates ever been paid?

    I've been an audiocubes affiliate for about three years, and through my referrals they've sold about US$20K worth of headphones and I've earned $750 in commission. In December 2007 I was told affiliate payments would go out early in 2008, but they didn't. In Feb 2009 they told me they didn't...

    Upgrade from A900... spend my money!

    I've recently had to stop using a stereo to play music in my office, so i've switched back to headphones. The stereo's a Panasonic, it cost US$300 and is great. Not audiophile level, but it has a very fun sound, with deep strong bass and good detail. I'm back to using my A900s, and I'm...

    Armature vs dynamic IEMs : Q-JAYS vs Sony EX52

    I'm in the process of doing a review of a bunch of IEMs... I have the whole Jays range (D, Q, and J), MD33, ATH-CK7, Sony EX90 and EX52, EP630, and have had the EX71, Shure E3, and v-Moda before. I'll post the review, but not until i've had them for a few more weeks. My initial impression is...

    Another "pick me canal phones" thread

    My Creative EP-630s just stopped working in one ear. They were great, and they're about a year old. Not too bad given their price. I might be able to fix them, it's just the plug, but the wires are so small, so hard to solder. So anyway, I need new canal phones. Here's what i've had before...

    Store with huge range and international shipping

    I'm looking for a store that sells a large range of great headphones and ships them to international destinations. www.amazon.com has a huge range but doesn't ship headphones outside of the US. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Can an IEM match full sized headphones overall?

    I've recently purchased some Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 pro dual driver IEMs, and I find myself mostly disappointed. The clarity's great, the comfort is great, the portability's great, but the bass just leaves me wanting more. There's plenty of high bass and some mid bass, but low bass seems...

    UE Super.fi 5 Pro vs 5EB

    I just purchased the 5 Pro version of these headphones, I love the clarity, the comfort, the lack of microphonics, they're excellent. I'm apparently a bit of a basshead though, because the bass from my mp3 player just doesn't do it for me. Sure I I just purchased the Super fi.5 Pro version of...

    New canal phones - Ultimate Ears 5EB?

    I'm considering the UE5EB, but there are no reviews on Headphone Reviews yet. I like - Sony EX71 (sound and comfort) - Creative EP-630 (better sound than EX71, not quite as comfortable, could do with a little more bass) - Sen 280s (needs WAY more bass) - Audio Technica A900 (with lots of...

    New canal phones suggestions

    Edit - this thread is old - please see my 4th post of this thread for my current question. I've lost one of the little rubber ear pieces from my EX71's, that's as good an excuse as any to get some new canal phones I've not been around here in a while, so I don't know what's current. I...

    Emu problem on Win2K - little help?

    My Emu 1212 was working this morning on my PC, since then i've moved offices, and i'm using a different user logon in windows. Now Windows doesn't even seem to detect the Emu in the machine. When I run PatchMix DSP I get the following error message. Any ideas how to get it working again? I...

    Foobar2000 global hotkeys

    I just installed Foobar2000 v0.8.3, and lost all my preferences. I went to set global hotkeys up, but they don't seem to be working. I set them up, and they're showing in the keyboard shortcut area as global, and i've restarted foobar, but nothing. Any ideas what I can try?

    very weird effect

    I somehow managed to start winamp and foobar playing the same song at the same time. I played with them both a bit, and I got them playing at the same time, with a very small fraction of a second between them. It sounds quite odd, and kinda cool!

    HD595 or HD600?

    Ok, I heard HD600s today, and i'm finally ready to get myself some open cans, even though I probably won't get much use out of them. Any thoughts on which one I should get? I'm leaning towards the 595s as they're quite a lot cheaper. I like headphones to have deep strong bass and reasonably...

    Sennheiser HD280 Pro

    Say what you like about them, they have bass so low you think it's either an earthquake or a huge truck outside, highs with detail from here to Sunday week, and mids like an abba concert. Or perhaps the mids are like a midget at a bikini competition. Either way, for the price you can't beat...
