I got an HE Audio Jade a few days ago.  It uses the five-pin stax adapter.   I've been using it with my Aristaeus and it sounds great.     When I try to switch over to my BHSE the headphone out will not seem to accept the plug.  Nothing is wrong with this output.  Nothing seems wrong...

A few people mentioned her passing in other threads, and I think it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to her memory.  One of the greatest of all vocalists!   Rest in peace

In 2012, I plan to significantly upgrade my source.  I'm presently using an MSB Platinum DAC III purchased in 2008.   I have dwindled down my choices to two: It's either going to be the MSB Diamond DAC + CD Transport Esoteric K01   I have never heard either one and I am wondering...

This review focuses primarily on the Westone ES5, but I do some mild comparisons to the JH13 and JH16 as well.  I will be comparing and ranking all my headphones and earphones in the upcoming months.  There will be more detail and comparisons in the future.    While I used all the amps...

Hey guys:)   I had the chance to review these.  I won't beat around the bush.  I didn't like them for the price.     The following is my review:     I am always looking for the ultimate iPhone compatible earphone.  The Klipsch Image X10i are an expensive offering, but their sleek...

So I sat down to write a Grado SR60i review.  But as I put the headphones on and started writing, a childhood memory came back to me and the outcome ended up not being a review at all.  I hope y'all don't mind sharing what I wrote below....it's not a review, but instead just memoir about one of...

I know I'm opening up a can of worms here, but I was wondering as its been well over a year since the business has been open.  Has anyone managed to retrieve their money?      

I've never shared my personal compositions on head-fi, but since it's such a musical community I thought it would be fun to share some lofi covers I've done and hear others youtube covers.   Looking forward to your videos!:)   PS No need for the HD800s for these:  

I was comparing the SR 507 the other day against a friend's 407 and I noticed that the 407 was way more comfortable due to what seemed like a different headband design.  The pads on the SR507 press into the jowls and while it never really bothered me before, comparing it against the 407 made me...

It's no secret that the most obvious flaw of the HD800 is it's plastic housing which is painted to look like metal.  I adore the sound, but I wish there was a varnish on the metallic paint.  I have two pairs and while I use them with utmost care, neither pair is entirely nick free.  I bet, even...

Sometimes when headphone companies add a variation to their pre-existing model they don't always change the model name.  Most recently, the Audeze LCD-2 (one of my favorite headphones) which has a few variations in cosmetics and most recently in sound signature.   How do you feel about this...

 I noticed upon taking the Edition 8 out today that the ear cups swivel made a strange creeky noise on both sides.  I have spent such little time with my Edition 8 that I may have noticed it before.  It's worth mentioning maybe that this is the Ed8 Limited Edition.   Anyone else notice this...

I get asked a lot about source vs amp vs headphone.  And in fact I too myself have often wanted to determine where to spend the money most.    While this analogy doesn't really suggest an answer to that question, it was something which popped into my head and I thought it was kinda funny...

When I first tried these I was underwhelmed.  I had a preconception that because the headphones were closed back that they would resemble the DT770 in a way and have that extra impact bass.  These headphones are in fact so pronouncedly different from every other Beyer I've tried, that I wasn't...

Hey all,   I'm looking for something that can rip CDs as accurately as EAC but works with latest version of  iTunes and/or rips into Apple Lossless.     Should be Windows 7 compatible.  Also it doesn't matter to me if it's not free.   Any ideas?   Thanks!

A lot of people here who are aware that Beyerdynamic generously sent over a boatload of headphones to headphones.com have been asking me to review & Compare the DT660 & DT860 – Two headphones which have been around for quite a while, are not cheap, but remain relatively unknown.  I had not ever...

As of today,   What is currently the best IEM in production?  Obviously it will not be a universal answer (pun:-), but with the contendors   JH13, JH16, UE18, UE's In-Ear Reference, and Westone's ES5 amongst others....   Which is currently considered the best of the best by yourself...

Hey all,   As many of you know I am now working at Headphones.com.  One of my tasks is to review some of their headphones.  I wanted to post this thread to share with you all that I am flabbergasted (that's right I used the word "flabbergasted") by one of the headphones I have auditioned. ...

Would anyone be able to recommend me a splitter box for connected to amps to a single source and splitting the signal without compromising the sound?  XLR would be preferred.   Thanks!   -Dave

Hey all,   I'm looking for an amp that's solid state, very fast, very neutral (or bordering on bright) and pretty powerful.   It would a plus if the amp included a loop out and or crossfeed option.     Thanks:)

I've been noticing very recently that certain headphones I once thought had too little bass for my preference now seem about right and others seem too bass heavy which I once really preferred.  I notice that my taste in bass impact changes a lot, sometimes even day to day.  Anyone else...
