Sony MDR-XB*** series? What happened?
Hey guys Haven't posted here in forever and I've been out of the loop. I was looking for another pair of XB-700s as I lost mine a while ago and I enjoyed using them for music like drum n bass, trap, hip-hop, and other bass heavy music. So, I go to search google shopping and eBay and the lowest...- lilkoolaidman

IC: Colorado meet?
Well, it's summer and I'm wondering if anyone in CO is up for a meet. I don't have any connections and limited funds, but if possible, I think it would be cool if we could have another meet at the Westone factory, not on a Sunday- lilkoolaidman

Infinity BU-120 - worth fixing?
I recently acquired an Infinity BU-120, not knowing of it's somewhat infamous amp issue, and unfortunately, mine does make popping noises under load. According to Infinity and FWIR replacing the 50v C6 cap with a 100v will fix it, but I don't know if that's true or if it would last. I also am...- lilkoolaidman

Sennheiser APureSound mod/defoam mod??
I couldn't find many opinions on this mod here. But I want to confirm if removing the foam from the back of the driver is reversible, and what the sound changes are and if it's even a good idea (I thought I read somewhere that removing it exposes the driver to dust and other harmful things.) I'm...- lilkoolaidman

Are the HD600 grills still in production?
I'm looking to pimp out my 580s and already got a cable. I was going to call Sennheiser USA tomorrow to order some 600 grills but I guess they're hardly ever in stock or may not be offered anymore, Is this true?

V-Moda M80 or Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii
So, I've been looking at these two headphones for portable use. Both look great (I'm thinking of the Adidas originals on the HD25s). I've heard both of them, albeit briefly, and liked them both for different reasons. Both seem to be built like tanks. I'm on the fence on which one to get...- lilkoolaidman

Kimber Kable Illuminations/RCA cable?
Let me start off by saying I don't really believe in SQ differences. I tend to write off any 'difference' I hear as placebo. But, I do believe in durability. So, I'm looking for a cheap, like ~$30, RCA cable to use between my amp and DAC. For this, it doesn't have to be long at all. I've been...- lilkoolaidman

Tansfer album art from iPod to iTunes?
I recently got a new iMac and transferred all my music from my iPod using xPort. Senuti didn't work for me. All my music transferred, but any artwork that iTunes wasn't able to find didn't transfer from my iPod. All artwork is on my iPod and my music is fine, just that it's missing...- lilkoolaidman

Jack Johnson - Bass Heavy?
I'm listening to some Jack Johnson and I've noticed his music is pretty bass heavy with quite a lot of impact, maybe it's because of how he uses DRC? It exists in both "In Between Dreams" and "Sleep Through The Static" so it must be something with the way he records/masters. I quite like it...- lilkoolaidman

Building a computer (+ pics of yours)
I really need a new computer and I was thinking about building my own. So I looked to Newegg's DIY combos and will probably get one of those. However, I want to make sure I have all the necessary things. Let's say I get this (haven't really decided). The only thing I would need to add is an HDD...- lilkoolaidman

Cheap HD580/600/650 cable?
Although I haven't had a problem with the stock cable on my HD580s, It's just way to stringy and I would like to "upgrade" to something with more durability (Maybe more aesthetically pleasing). However, I don't want to pay even $100 for a pair of headphones that cost me $100 to begin with. After...- lilkoolaidman

I'm simply curious about how most Head-Fiers feel about the Adidas styling on the HD 25-1s, so I started a poll. Is it sexy? Too flashy? Fashionable?- lilkoolaidman

Kicker IEMs?
I was looking through a best buy ad and saw that they offered these IEMs free with a purchase of kicker products totaling $100 or more.

Oh, look, it's another price-range-recommendation-thread.
Alright, so let's get down to it. I searched around here on Head-Fi for IEMs around $300. I'm looking at Shure SE425s, 530s (or other Shures, not familiar with their line-up TBH), IE8s, TF10s, or some Westone 3s. I just recently bought some MTPC and after a few days the left driver died, so to...- lilkoolaidman

Monster Turbine Pro Gold vs. Copper vs. MD
Since I haven't had luck in my searches at least in finding a good thread, I am asking for myself. I have always liked turbines and dynamic IEMs in general, despite what others say, so I have been looking at turbines for this reason. Now what I understand, is that the golds are warm and bass...- lilkoolaidman

Triple flange on CKS70s?
I'm going on a few trips over the next six months, and I thought about even getting some ANC phones for the jet engine noise, but quickly decided against that.

Rattling in right driver of HD580
As the title suggests, I've lately noticed that when I listen to songs with punchy bass, such as Hip-Hop, the right driver makes a rattling noise. I guess similar to Grado grattle, except Senn grattle. Could it be a bad driver or just a hair or particle stuck inside. If it is the driver, could I...- lilkoolaidman
