Last-Minute Head-Fi'er Gift Ideas

If you're a Head-Fi'er who intends on treating himself to some new headphone audio gear for the holidays--or if you your significant other to have some good gift ideas for you--then consider the following last-minute Head-Fi'ers' headphones & amps holiday gift guide.

Headphone audio has grown so much over the last few years that sorting through all of the available gear can be challenging.  Of course, it would do you well to read Head-Fi's forums, and also Head-Fi's Reviews Section, but below I've included a quick guide for some last minute gift ideas for the audiophile in your life - even if the audiophile in your life is you.

Several of these headphones and earphones are available from our newsletter sponsor, SoundEarphones.com.  Keep reading for some great holiday offers from them and help support those who support Head-Fi.

Head over to my full gift guide to read details and descriptions, including some of my personal experiences with the gear.

May all of you, through the busy holidays, have the time to relax, listen to music, and enjoy the company of those you love.  Happy holidays to all of you!

Regards,

Jude

Use This High-Resolution Album To Test Your Audio System's Performance

Head-Fi and David Chesky of HDTracks.com collaborated to assemble a headphone system test album called Open Your Ears (it can also be used to evaluate your non-headphone audio systems).  CNET Audiophiliac blogger Steve Guttenberg wrote the liner notes to help the listener understand how to use the tracks to evaluate your system for:

Midrange tonalilty Palpable detail and texture
Low-leveel resolutionn Rhythm
Transparerncy Spatial depth
Visceral impact Depth
Out-of-head imaging Bass extension
Center focus Bass

CLICK HERE to go to the The Head-Fi/HDtracks Open Your Ears album page. (You can also listen to samples of the tracks on that page.) It is available in compressed MP3 (boo!); iTunes-compatible CD-quality AIFF (yay!); and better-than-CD-quality, high-resolution 24-bit/96-kHz FLAC (three cheers!). NOTE: FLAC files cannot currently be played directly in iTunes without first being converted to a compatible format.

Get the album while HDTracks is offering special pricing (half-off normal HDTracks pricing)!
