Whatsup HF, looking for some feedback on the J3 cases.  I am debating between the Noreve leather case and the Ringke silicon case.  I don't mind the price difference, the determining factor is first and foremost protection.   Hypothetically, if I were to drop the J3, which case would sustain...

But now I´m back..   hello addiction!   Reason is, my D2 died on me..:/ need a new player,feel so naked whitout music..   whats new? whats good?   My "likes" of the D2 was. long batterylife, good output,Sd card and big internal memory,FLAC   any suggestions ?   I stay...

  Hi everyone, so I don't know if I'm an audiophile, but I know I don't like crap cans though ;-) I've been an outside on-looker to this site for about 3 months now, felt like joining the fun.  I must say that this is exciting, to find such a big group of people who share the same bad habit...

I'm in Canada. Where can I pick one of these bad boys up :)

I'm looking for a portable media player, but I need lots of space. I was thinking the iPod Classic 160gb, but it is (like all apple products) pricey and would require me purchasing it used.   Can you give me any other suggestions of portable media players with around the same amount of...

For the past 3 years or so, my portable rig has consisted of an iAudio X5 -> Shure SE530 IEMs.  I have been so satisfied with this rig that I stopped posting (and reading) head-fi -- it's been just the ideal setup for me and I felt no need to change it.   Unfortunately, while in the process...

Dear Headfi'ers,   After installing Ubuntu (linux) on my laptop (and only computer) a few days ago I noticed sadly that my Kenwood hd30gb9 can no longer be provided with anything new! Kenwood's own software will not run on Ubuntu and the player will only recognize music that's been uploaded...

So i got my J3 and i am wondering if any audiophile/audio engineer/sound-geek dude here have made any GOOD user EQ settings.   The ones already present/preloaded  (BBE MP , BBE VIVA etc) are ok but the enemy of good is the best (or sth like that) so....   Post your own EQ picks you have...

I want to start saving up money for a top-tier custom in-ear monitor for use with my Cowon J3. Right now I've got W3s and I'm loving them, but I know my music could sound better, and I want the comfort and isolation of customs.   FWIR Impressions:   ES5 - Pros: Clarity, build quality...

Your help is not required in this instance because I now have the RE262, Cowon J3 and Headstage Arrow and am in audio heaven doing a little dance like a monkey on double espresso.   Thanks for reading this though.  Good luck in your adventure.

K so my Sansa Clip+ just died and with it being a new year i'm stepping the levels up, i've decided on a Cowon J3 player and due to my budget either Hippo VB IEMs or Klipsch s4's for the gym/in uni lectures lol, what i finally want to do is buy some portable Headphones to compliment my new rig...

I know a lot has been said about the sound quality of these players, but I have a separate real world question.    Personally I can't stand the iPod touch screen/playback options over the classic. I need buttons. I really don't care for touch screens but I need the capacity of a larger...

I just ordered the jh 16 pro. Should I update my source with the Hifiman HM-602 or get the RSA Protector and balanced twag cable and LOD? Right now I have an Ipod Nano 16 gb 5th gen and Nokia N900 which sounds pretty decent to me with the um3x. Not sure if I will carry an amp with me so I'd...

just got my m50 and they sound beautiul. balanced, with a slight lean towords the lower end. I was wondering, what portable player can drive them nicely?

Hello Head-Fi forum.   This is my first time creating a new thread here...I became a member yesterday although I've found this forum very helpful in deciding on my first headphone:Audio Technica ath-m50...   Just as I'm becoming more and more addicted to listening to music constantly...

Well, coming from a Cowon Q5W and a pair of skullcandy's (hold your fire!), I thought it was time for an upgrade. I'm going to invest in a Cowon X7 when I gather the funds, and some quality listening hardware. Reading reviews on here didn't really put me anywhere, but I heard that it's easiest...

I'm looking for some advice on nice all-rounder phones to go with my new Cowon J3, please. My current phones are Shure SE310s. I like the detail on them, and they can sound very nice with certain EQ settings on the J3, but overall I find them a bit bright, fatiguing and lacking in bass. I...

the old 4gb iPod is out of space and I would like to upgrade to something much bigger (32 should do the trick) or should I just get the iPod classic 160gb? (Will be using with JH audio JH 5 PRO's) anyways recommend me some players!

Howdy all,   I am seeking a very nice pair of IEM's with a budget of up to around A$250.00.   The music i listen too includes Trance, Dance, Hip-Hop and some Easy Listening.   I have some RE0's but find they lack bass and seem to have low sensitivity due to the high impedance so any...

I can't find info on this anywhere. What is the best volume ratio for the amp vs the source. Should the amp be louder? Is there a "golden ratio"????   Thanks

I'm looking for a pair of full sized headphones for around $100. I guess you could describe my sound preference as exciting, with detailed highs and good sounding vocals. I also like a good bit of impact, not necessarily bass volume- too much rumbling bass will make me sick- but I like to be...

Hey, I currently use Grado SR-80is on my home rig, just a Xonar Essence STX, and for obvious reasons they are not good for portable use, I have looked in the 115 IEM review thread, but I'm still too much of a noobie around here to know words like "lush" and "bright", I understand the...

Just now I opened up my M-Stage to do some chip rolling, as I just purchased new chips to do this with. I decided to try out one of the mono channel ones, the TL071, figuring that even though I didn't have the adapter, I could still listen from one channel. Wrong. I took my FAVORITE headphones...

Hi there, it's been a while!   I own a cowon J3 with which i am really satisfied, i recently broke my monster turbines, could have repaired the cable but wanted to try something new, so went for the pl 30 as best bang for the buck for running sessions and dba 02 for mobility usage (subway...

Hello. If I buy the Headphonia/Headstage Arrow portable headphone amplifier, what Music Player/MP3 should I pair it with? A Cowon J3, Nationite S:flow2, etc.? Thanks, A1811
