Is it just me or has the MP3 market at this year's show been extremely quiet?  In fact the only MP3 that I have seen any information on yet is the new Samsung.  And it got a few initial impression beatings.    Has anyone seen or heard of any new MP3 players to hit the market this year that's...

I'm not sure if anyone else saw the sale, but I recently picked up these phones (Creative HQ-1900) on newegg.com for 14.99 shipped. which is a pretty steep discount from the regular 99.99.    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826158067   In case there are still crazy...

Hi,   I was wondering if u could help me choose some good 5.1 / 7.1 headphones for my PC?   I was reading many different discussions on this site about some of the 5.1 / 7.1 headphones, but I have no clear conclusions so far.   I would like to have good surround sound headphones...

The title says something about my dilemma. My Sony MDR-EX 70 are about to die and need to be replaced as soon as possible. Now that I saw the AKG and had a look around head-fi and headphonereviews.org I am not so sure that I want to buy the MDR-EX 71. I found the AKG and something in my head...

Hi,   I have no knowladge about headsets, but I would like to buy the best available on the market wireless headset. I have found a few models on Amazon:  ...

Newegg is currently out of stock for the creative aurvana live. Where can i buy them for $60? Please don't recommend ebay because I can't use it. Secondly the seller should be reliable. Anyone?

I am looking for an old version of the Zen Touch firmware. When searching, I have only found the newer 1.01.03 and 2x versions. Is there any possibility that someone who still has got a Zen Touch has got the 1.00.06 version of the firmware somewhere on their computer? If so, please let me know! 

I lost my ipod classic so im going too buy a new mp3 player, amp and headphones. After some searching i decided to go for Creative x-fi 2, sennheiser hd25-1 II and ibasso t3. I'm listening to dubstep, drum and bass, electronica and some rap. Whats your thoughts/opinions of my setup? How...

I'm just looking for some advice on which one do you recommend. I'm currently using Razer Moray, which are way better than any stock in-ears I have used but the mids are kinda muddy and the overall sound is not clear enough. So, I made some research but it seems there aren't a lot of options in...

Once upon a time when you mentioned ‘premium audio’ in the computer world, the name ‘Creative’ is what you would be referring to. Nowadays the name seems to get somewhat replaced by Apple.  To be fair, I do believe Creative still has the ‘tech’ in hardware to be an important character in the...

I can't believe my $35 (used) Creative Aurvana Live! - CAL! - headphones sound this good / fun from a $10 (used) c-media sound card. I often listen to this rig for hours at a time because it sounds so good / fun - great synergy. The bass is deep, bumping, tuneful, and loud, just how I like...

Hey guys, so right now I am using an Equation Audio RP-21 out of my Creative X-Fi Titanium sound card, with it EQd a bit in the bass region and to me it sounds great.   However I'm lookin into amps (since this hobby is too addicting), and I read about the PA2V2 from Gary. For the price, it...

Hi all, i have just got a pair of Creative Aurvana Live wich i will be plugging on my onboard audio for now.   Is there anything i should do before giving them their normal use?

I know that there are alot of people here who hate or dislike Creative players due to what Craetive have got to offer.  Anyhow I am not here to type this post to start a flaming way on my player is better than yours etc etc etc, what you own is your business and what I own is mine, simple :-)...

Just purchased a pair of Creative Zen Auravana's (for around $35 with shipping), but none of the supplied eartips fit me just right; they are all too big. Was wondering if anyone knows if I can get smaller replacement tips from somewhere that are compatible with the phones? Or should I swallow...

So I'm using an X-fi plantium and beyerdynamic dt 880's.  I just bought an ASL MG Head MKII tube amp off another user since I was told the 880's would benefit from a tube amp.   So far I'm kind of disappointed.  The ASL is probably 10-15% better than my astro mixamp.  Is this because I'm...

Hello everybody. Right now I'm considering an audio system upgrade. What I'm trying to figure  out is: is there any point in upgrading to the Forte if my intention is to plug it into a little dot dac I? I realize that by moving to the forte I gain the extra digital output, but that may result in...

Hello. I am a newbie about headphones, amps, sound equipment and other hi-fi things and have a few questions. Probably these questions were asked hundreds of times but despite all my efforts i couldn't find the answers I like, so i decided to sign up and ask myself directly.   My main...

I'm looking for a portable headphone to use with my iPod, cell phone, etc. mostly outdoors, on trains, subways, airplanes, etc. My requirements: Supra-aural Closed-back, for noise cancellation Decent sound quality, doesn't have to be perfect Relatively light and portable, collapseable...

I am in the market for a new player and was curious, has anyone tired the Creative ZEN X-Fi2 series? If so what are you thoughts and opinions?   Thanks, RH

I'm going to pump up the audio system on my computer this summer. I've been running onboard audio since my sound card died a while back, definitely not up to the job right now. I'm not afraid to put some money into this, but I want to make a good investment so I want to make sure I'm thinking...

  Hey guys,   Recently purchased a 27" iMac and am now in the market for a USB (or otherwise) sound card that I can run from the machine to my headphones/speakers (group environment some of the time). Main usage is listening to music (WIDE variety of music but a focus on older classic...

Hi, this is my first post and I would like to ask about the difference in sound quality between the to players I stated in the thread name. I currently own a iPod touch 2nd gen 16gb. However, I am rather Displeased with the sound quality. I m also a metal fan. My fav song is waking the demon by...
