    Warm/bassy phones with Etymotic-level isolation?

    Folks,   I loved my etymotic er-6i's riding the trains in Tokyo, but I always found the sound a little clinical and occasionally sibilant. Are there any headphones that offer a warmer sound (like Shure, Nuforce, or cans) but with equal isolation? I'm looking in the $100 range, including any...

    HJE900 vs. C751 vs. ???

    My C700s broke and Denon replaced them with the c751 about a year ago, I always felt the 751 had a little less bass compared, but still decent enough in quality and quantity for me in something this portable.  The overall sound is fine also, i don't have too much experience with higher end...

    Unknown greats? JVC Victor's Japan-market line (help, Japanese head-fiers)

    Most of us around here are aware of the JVC DX1000 woodies, which are held by some to be among the best dynamics on the market. A keen reader lately would also have spotted news of two new high/mid-end JVC canalphones (one of them wooden) and a semi high-end aluminum earclip that at least one...

    Good headphones for a basshead?

    I listen to a lot of hip-hop/rap, so i like a lot of bass. Had a surround sound in a small dorm room (had to sell it, long story), and have a car stereo with a sound system that makes the car shake with its base. The system is about $1,000 or so. I don't know anything about it (bought the car...

    Fake JVC FX500 is here, photos inside.

    I don't have one with me. A friend saw them in person and sent me a link. There are two versions, one comes with beautiful box, looks like the official JVC product; the other so-called OEM version comes with earphones and pouch. As to their quality, CX300 sounds better and so much cheaper. In...

    From Meelectronics M6 to.....

    I've been loving my M6 buds for some time and curiosity has once again gotten the best of me.   Any ideas on what might come next?  I've heard the FX500 suggested so that's certainly an option.   Other ideas?   (like: high end sparkle and rather visceral bass / dislike: prefer better...

    JVC HP-FX500 vs Panasonic RP-HJE900

    Both are within a very similar price range and are highly rated around here. I'm curious as to how members feel about the differences in sound quality (e.g which one is better?). I also hear that the soundstage on the HJE900 is quite lacking when compared to the FX500. Any truth to that?  ...

    JVC HP FX500

    JVC has released its cool and stylish wooden earphones HP-FX500 which delivers excellent sound quality and appropriately absorbs excessive vibration thanks to the use of a wood dome diaphragm manufactured by thinning a birch material into a dome shape.
