already owned a pair of EW9 and go to shop to audit Westone 3 because might want to get one high-end IEMs for commuting use. so I went ahead to listen to Westone 3 and was not impressed at all still find EW9 is much better in term of soundstaging, warm and very musical.   Am I crazy???

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...

Today I was at a local store and I came across these. They're on the ear headphones and portable, but not exactly that small. I never heard of this model before and think it may be new or a re-release of an older headphone. I think there was an old model with 55 in the name. TNT-55 I think...

After seeing images of the ath-es7, I became hooked. But after ordering a pair from buydigi.com for 49.99 and finding out they're on backorder was a huge let down :(. I wanted to ask is this website (salestores.com) a legit deal? Electric expo was sold out as well they had them for 68.10...

Hey all,   I'm new to the site and in general I don't have a ton of experience with anything other than mainstream and relatively low-end sound equipment. In the past I've always stuck with portable in-ear headphones, but I'd like to give full-size circumaural headphones a shot.   I'm...

          I am new to the head-fi scene and am looking into buying a new set of headphones after my most recent pair of skullcandys broke down. I originally was looking for a new pair of SC's but after looking around I decided to up my investment and get a true set of audiophile headphones. The...

  Take a plane anywhere in the US and you are more than likely going to see many choices for music listening.  In my experience noise canceling headphones are #1 with earbuds #2, other headphones #3, and in-ear headphones a distant 4th.  What NC headphones have I primarily seen?  Bose, of...

I'm getting some Swan M200MkII Speakers, I'm upgrading from come Altec Lansing ADA-305's. I heard the Swan's sound fantastic, just like I heard the Audio Technica M50's were. I defiently think you guys know what your talking about. Anyways I heard the Swan's will excel with a subwoofer, can you...

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the various incarnations of the phat pad mods that exist for various headphones. The idea is to lift the pads a bit for various reasons, including but not limited to a different sound and comfort. Many people, at least for the W5000's, line under the pad with...
