TWFK Driver IEM.
I've been out of the game. I've had the Rockit R50 and the Vsonic VC1000 and LOVED the latter but it has alas worn out on me. It's been a while, what are some similar IEM's to those two nowadays? Around $100 give or take a few would be awesome. Sound quality doesn't HAVE to be better than...- Mdraluck23

Home recording help?
Hey Head-Fi. A friend of mine is an excellent pianist and aspiring guitar learner, but here's the deal: she's always showing me recordings she took with iPhone. She is a phenomenal concert level pianist as far as I know. (she is too shy to actually play concerts, but just loves to play) ...- Mdraluck23

Best cheap DIY amp's, on the cheap for gifts.
I have a friend who is starting to get into audio, very DIY oriented, and I was wondering which kit to get him! Probably a cmoy of some sort, portability not required, just whatever seems to be the best overall under $40. Or $20 and I will pick him up one of these too!- Mdraluck23

Headphones for women.
Christmas is coming soon and a female friend is looking for a pair of headphones. What are your suggestions? She can't stand "suctioney" IEM's or "HUGE" over the ear models. I was looking at something kind of like the HD238 or possibly a true earbud with no suction, just haven't kept up on...- Mdraluck23

Why Head-Fi
I'm rambling and a bit incoherent at this point so my diction and syntax may fall by the wayside. As I look into the new year, I am filled with happiness. Literally. FILLED. Even on those less than perfect days, my headphone purchases allow me to just unwind. It's rare to hear music in my life...- Mdraluck23

Shopping for a friend.
I have a friend whose birthday is coming up in a week or two, and he's an aspiring musician. I managed to get a few friends to pile in for a pair of IEM's (He needs IEM's.) We're looking at $80 if we get four people to give $20, MAYBE 5 people for $100. This is an incredible amount of...- Mdraluck23

~$150 Amp/DAC for a TBD headphone.
Looking for a home Amp/DAC to go with a headphone I'll be purchasing shortly... Probably the HE-300. 24/96 over USB is ideal.... Not many other requirements. Hopefully a lineout, but really just wondering what the best HOME setup is at the moment. I've been using my D6 for a while, but...- Mdraluck23

~$300 Closed Semi Portable Rig.
I'm currently using some HD600's and an iBasso D6 with topkit. I just don't get enough use out of them to justify keeping around... I do love them though. I listen in bed before falling asleep a lot and the HF5's sound (IMHO) comparable to HD600's, but they're much more comfortable while lying...- Mdraluck23

HD600+RE0= What IEM?
Exactly what the title says, my beloved RE0's finally wore out on me. I love their sound signature but I've grown so accustomed to the HD600's and I love them too.

HD600 Portable amp/DAC?
So... I have had an E7 for a while, and just recently obtained my HD600's. I knew I was going to be throwing down for an amp when I bought them. The problem for me lies with the fact that I would like it to be able to be powered by batteries, and have a DAC. I suppose that's asking a lot. At the...- Mdraluck23

How about a set of recommendation forums? It really just makes a lot of sense.

Cleaning the garage and a potential MacGyver solution.
I was cleaning the garage and found these (headphones for scale): I hooked em up to an old amp we had lying around and ran my E7 out of my laptop into them. Pretty good!

Anybody know what these are?
I found these in a box in my garage. They belonged to my late brother. I vividly remembered him using them for ages while he was in the hospital. Kind of bittersweet, I tried them on, not expecting much, but they are pretty impressive. I would love to know more about them.- Mdraluck23
