    Need help finding good replacement with lower output impedance for Asus Essence STX sound card

    Is soundstage actually detrimental to spatial audio?

    So the notion of soundstage being a property of headphones certainly has a lot of substance behind it, and indeed, even untrained ears can anecdotally easily perceive this. However, the theory behind is rather confusing to me. Since soundstage seems to be related to the openness of headphones...

    Headphone/DAP popping noise?

    I have recently become concerned due to a popping noise from my setup (EM-U Rosewood wBlack Dragon cord/Cowon P1), similar to the staticy noise your headphones make when you insert them into a jack.

    During the next big recession, how many headphone brands will go out of business?

    I've been wondering about this for awhile, especially considering the exploding debt levels around the world, which obviously can't go on forever. So when the next global recession / financial crisis / currency crisis (and/or reset) happens, how will this affect the headphone industry? Whether...

    1More Triple Driver BT In-Ear

    Don't see much about these on the forum. I just picked them up for $79 (original retail $199) and I have to say, these are really good. I found the wired Triple Driver IEM, out of the box, doesn't sound the greatest; it's a little bloated in the high-bass/low-mid area and lacks some air, so it...
