hey guys. So I've been reading around the Internet, and apparently, mp3s suck. Now that I've got a amp and some killer headphones, I want to make sure I'm getting the absolute best sound quality possible. So my question is, is there any way to convert 320 Kbps mp3s into FLAC or AAC, or...

  I purchased these earphones specifically for my pocket rig, I was looking for something that could be used every day and my buying requirements were simple. First they needed to cost less than £30, and second they needed to sound as good as the stock set from Sony which, as stock earphones...

Sup guys, so recently I've been in a dilemma   I think I've gotten hearing loss.   Pre 2010, My Iphone volume slider would be roughly 50-60% Post 2011, My iphone volume slider tends to pass the 70% mark.   Of course, this is all subjective, but in all honesty - my Cowon J3 volume...

I've only had my GR07s for about 2 months. I don't abuse them, and already I've lost the right channel. I don't know how this happened, but I'm pretty pissed. What could have possibly caused this to happen so soon? Hopefully I can get them replaced.

  Woodees Vintage Stereo Earphones, Got Wood? Sorry, I had to!       Pros: Wood, rich natural sound, musical sound Cons: Size, fatiguing slightly, build quality.   This is the first review in which I honestly couldn't use these stock. I had to use my Comply T400 tips to get...

Hello. I have previously posted these questions on AV Forums, but I think this forum may be more useful. I am looking to spend up to £50 ($80) for in-ear headphones for listening to MP3s and Youtube on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I will be running with them, so they need to be able to stay in the...

I'm one of those people - like Katun - who REALLY like the sound the 67 makes. More than my Ety HF5s in my case. This is probably a pointless and masochistic question, as well as an expensive one, but given the above - and that I'm using a Cowon J3 and listening mostly to FLAC high bit rate Ogg...

Arriving half a week early, my Pioneer HDJ-500K's just arrived today. Not a very reviewed headphone is it? The packaging is fairly nice, plastic, but not a clamshell package, it's an actual box. The alternate language being French, to boot.   Aesthetically, they're quite pleasing in...

I did a search and tried to find an answer but couldn't. Is this good? Will a rip to 192 kbps sound better than a conversion of 192 kbps and by how much?   As in from flac to 320kbps to 192 kbps? in that order   all my music is in 320 kbps and want to convert to 192 kbps   and the...

Hello, Been using ATH-AD700 for some years now, which were my first "real" headphone, and love them. But now I need something to use in while sleeping ( i sleep on the side ) / commuting, so I've decided to invest in some iem (first pair). budget: max 70€/$100 (preferably less) source...

So, I love music and love headphones, mostly IEMs for a number of reasons. I was gotten a pair of Monster Jamz as a gift however, I feel they are a little; well, funny sounding after break in. Tons of low but lacking in the mids and just ok up high. Kinda muddy. I love the build quality, but am...

I am trying to get buy my first earphones cuz the earphones that came with my sansa clip plus just broke and also i dont want to spend a fortune on earphones. I narrowed it to the Sony MDR E11 and Soundmagic P11. I guess thy dont qualify into quality earphones but still Which one is better and...

  Hi guys, This is my first post ever, and I live in the Netherlands, so pls don't be too critical on my grammar etc (:. I now own earbuds which are 20 dollars, more or less, and a mp3player of 40, I think, so this is going to be a big investment for me. I prefer SQ over everything, the...

Yes I wonder, what Mp3player Dt1350 will give these headphones justice...   I have heard Sansa clip+ is good..but I am also afraid its small size does maybe compromise on sound quality.   What mp3player should I buy ?

Hi, what cheap solution ( around 40$ ) would you suggest for jogging , mp3 player + headphone. I need a headphone + player that stay on place when you run. The headphone must resist to sweat , and the player resist to shock when it falls accidentally on the floor. For the music I would listen...

Here is what I know: cowon x7 and j3 sound quality is the same. with J3 i get a pants-wettingly good screen and with X7 i get easy music management/usb hard drive. With both, music management and sound quality is amazing, but with both i've read multiple reviews about bad build quality and...

So, I was lucky to find J3 in a brick and mortar shop in Dubai selling only one Cowon - J3. No online ordering, no waiting, no shipping charges and no customs. I bought it instantly based on your recommendations here. I know quite well about Cowon and always feel sorry that it's not a known...

Hallo everyone! First I have to say, that I love this forum and really appreciate all the help provided here. So, Thank you all!   Well, my third (!) iPod classic finally broke and I need a repalement that sounds equivalent or better. I obviously won't buy another classic (- that would...

Hey! Just picked my very own Clip+ and i'm trying to rockbox it but getting no where.. It tells me i need firmware? I cant find it, any help?

For the last few years, I have been using an IPOD classic 160Gb + a Shure entry level sound isolating earphone for travel use. Been thinking of getting something better.   While browsing for cables for the Audeze LCD-2 (again, a recent aquisition still on the way from far away), saw on the...

Hey all, I'm a bit of an FNG when it comes to the high-end PMP's.  I've been running a creative Zen vision M for the past six years and just recently decided to step up to a cowon X7.  After doing some research, it seemed like it was the next logical step for music players as, like most...

    Since recently there seems to be problems when I'm playing music on my Cowon D3. Every few seconds the audio randomly cuts out throughout any track I play. It is really annoying. I checked task manager to check if there was alot of apps open which could strain the memory and cpu but...

First of all, I would like to say I am new to this community, as I just recently decided to get involved with quality headphones and audio gear. I started researching on quality head gear for a reasonable price, and so far, within 6 moths, I became a proud owner of a pair of Xears Resonance...

Hi folks!   I'm searching for an MP3 player that:   1) has a great sound quality 2) has at least 64GB of storage, but 128GB would be great! 3) has a great battery life. I'm sick of my iPhone which lasts 12 hours... 4) has an FM radio for when I'm tired of my music or want to hear...

Hi Guys,   This is my first review so be easy:)   I just received a CK4 from Musicaacoustics.com. Delivery and price was awesome!! Dimitri was great to deal with.   I will keep this very simple.   The Good:   -This unit offers the highest quality sound I have heard from a...
