Looking for pics of you wearing headphones or IEMs
Mods I hope this is ok: A friend of mine is doing an art project and she is collecting pictures of people with headphones or IEMs on enjoying music. They can be black & white or color, selfies or someone else can take the pic. Please send them to wendybdesigns@gmail.com If you'd like, you...- blownsi

Basically looking for the Porta Pro sound in an IEM. A search reveals several similar questions from 10 years ago. Looking to spend less than a $100 new or used.- blownsi

What IEM should I get to go with my Mojo?
Just bought a Mojo for my full size phones and would now like to get a nice set of IEMs. For reference my full size phones are HD650 & K7xx and my music of choice is Adult Contemporary & Classic Rock. I'd like to spend around $200 but am willing to spend more if necessary. Lots of people...- blownsi

Is there a better headphone for isolation than the HD201 for the price?
Looking for a sealed can for the wife to listen to some online training videos while drowning out the background noise around her. Isolation is her main priority instead of audio considering the content. Yes I know IEMs would be a better choice but she loathes them. I've looked at some other...- blownsi

Does any budget IEM sound like the PortaPro?
Yes there are better phones but for the money and the fun I quite enjoy my PortaPros. I'm looking for something with a similar sound but with isolation for an airplane. I realize that I probably won't find them for $25 but I'd like to stay under $100 if possible. I've owned two decent pairs...- blownsi

Suggest an IEM for me
Looking to spend around $80 but will go double that if need be. I listen to lots of genre but focus on the light rock or jazz. I've tried ety mc5 and they are too light in the bass for me. Had a pair of triple fi which I loved the sound of but they were too big for my ear canals. I do fly about...- blownsi

Should I replace my AKG 701s or treat them to a proper amp?
Looking for a bit of advice here. I really like the sound of the 701 but all I currently have to drive them with is a Fiio E7. I'm eyeing the Schiit Lyr but am wondering if I should spend the same money on a better can to match with the Fiio or sell everything and purchase a completely...- blownsi

Home preamp that can drive 701s?
Long story short..... I've been using a LDmk2 with my 701s. After reading about them being so power hungry I tried them with a Adcom GTP450 that was sitting in the attic. Big difference!! The problem is that a decent headphone amp for these things I am looking at $400. However I am willing...- blownsi

Just received my k701s an hour ago
I just received the 701s today. They are not broken/burned in. I still haven't torn my LDmk2 apart yet to adjust the gain. First impressions are as follows: 1) The LD seems underpowered(at stock gain setting.) 2) The 701s have a bit of siblance. Probably due to not being broken in. 3)...- blownsi

Can't decide: Senn HD600 or Grado 325i
Hello, newbie here saying hi and like all the others I need some advice: I currently have Senn 280's and I am wanting to upgrade to something "clearer."
