Hi. Does anyone use a pair of noise cancelling ear muffs (not headphones) for music listening with IEM's? I've been having a hard time trying to cancel out all the ambient noise in my house and I was curious if this would be a good solution. I just really need to know if there are any ear muffs...

Hi. Could anyone please do a thorough comparison of the AKG Quincy Jones Q701 and the K701 or K702? Please specify their differences and try to be as unbiased and fair as possible. Thanks, A1811.

Is there going to be a 4th Generation (4G) model of the Headstage/Headphonia Arrow Amp coming soon? If not, when do you suppose Rob will update the Arrow?   I know I shouldn't be asking this but has the shipping changed at all? Thanks, A1811

What Compression level do you FLAC users use for your music? From 0 to 8, where do you keep your default compression level? Does it make a difference in audio quality and/or memory? Thank You, A1811.

I know every Audiophile praises the Bowers and Wilkins audio systems in the new Jaguar lineup but how do you think they compare to this? The Bang and Olufsen system in the Audi Q7 shared with the old A8. Put it in 1080p and just listen. (Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.)  ...

Hi. What is the average shipping time on a new Headstage Arrow Amp? Thank You, A1811.

What is the best site to purchase Shure's SE535s at the Lowest price? Thank You, A1811.

Hi. Look, I've been doing loads of research for weeks now and I have made up my mind. I'm going to purchase a pair of Shure SE535s but I need some encouragement. Should I really buy these? I don't have any doubts about them, they're small, thay have style, they're portable, etc. but I'm...

Hi. I appreciate the replies on my previous thread, "Bit Rate Converter," but I just wanted to know one more thing. If I download music (MP3s) at a bit rate of 320kbps from a site that doesn't guarantee it's lossless but convert it with a "lossy to lossless audio format converter" will the...

Hi. Does anyone know of a good, safe, efficient bit rate converter online? One that can convert any audio files like mine, which are 128 kbps and 320 kbps, into proper 320kbps, LOSSLESS audio files. Mine are all AAC. Can anyone recommend a decent program?  Thank You, A1811. 

Hello. I thought it would be a good idea for you Audiophiles to make a small list of your favorite music. This would be for anyone who is new to the serious music world and it would help them understand how much better our choices of music are compared to the average listener. There are two...

Okay, I'll keep this simple.   I use my computer as my primary music source right now. I plan on buying an S:flow2 in late December.  For those who own a portable music device or especially an S:flow2, what program do you use to sync your music in a 320 kbps, lossless format into your...

Hi. For the past few month I've been debating whether I should buy a pair of full size Sennheser's excellent HD650's of Shure's SE535. I like, or rather love, everything about these headphones except for a couple of things. The SE535s are great and would be a dream come true but I have been...

Hi everybody. I am the type of person who enjoys buying my music and then downloading it to my computer but I have one concern about this. I fear that the location or source where the music was downloaded from can cause disappointing sound quality if not from the right site. For example, if I...

HI. After not getting satisfying responses from my previous thread I have decided to be more specific so I can finally get the answers I'm looking for. So, I want to know if there is any program I can download, for free, that is in any way more useful or more compatible with Portable Audio...

I need the perfect music/media player for my computer that can deliver Audiophile sound at a high bit rate, 320kbps, while at the same time be compatible with a long range of Music/MP3 Players.  I know that a very common program used is Windows Media Player, but is there any other? One that...

There are many great Audiophile MP3 Players like the HifiMan HM-801/HM-602, Cowon J3/S9, Nationite s:flow2, Zune 120, etc. in the market but are there any new Models from the same or similar manufactures to be released before 2011?   The HifiMan HM-801 and HM-602 are great on audio...

Hi. I personally don't have a setup of my own but what's yours?  Now, I'd like to know what your favorite choices of MP3 player(s), Portable Amplifier(s), and of course, headphones are for all your personal use outside home or for traveling. Rank them please. Thanks, A1811  

Hi. I've been looking for the right place to buy Headphones and I need a good site that sells Headphones, Amps, DACs, etc. for a very low price. What would you recommend? Do remember, they must have a good return policy, decent shipping, new and used products, good sellers, everything; a very...

Seriously, what is it that so many Audiophiles dislike about properly priced ($300 - $500) noise cancelling headphones?  I know it's the sound quality but how bad are they to deserve all the negative complaints? Can a brilliant yet well designed pair of NC's like Denon's AH-NC800 be any good...

Hello. If I buy the Headphonia/Headstage Arrow portable headphone amplifier, what Music Player/MP3 should I pair it with? A Cowon J3, Nationite S:flow2, etc.? Thanks, A1811 

There are many MP3 players in the market and many of them are worth the money but what's the best portable music player (MP3 Player) that can meet everyone's needs in only audio terms. Of course I'm only speaking of players like the Cowon J3 or S9. Be specific on the details of your experience...

What are you opinions on this portable amp. It seems very promising and easily something I'd consider buying. I respect everyone's opinion but I'd respect an opinion of an owner of this amp the most. So please compare, rate, and give some good details.   Thank You, A1811 (Bass Lover)

What is it that you like about them so much that they are given so much attention on this site? Give deep detail on their sound quality and overall audio reproduction.   Also, for less experienced users, like me, give comprehensive descriptions on why any Audiophile should buy these...

What is you Noise Cancelling headphone of choice and why?   Describe your reason for choosing these and what you like about them so much. Could you add your favorite genres of music as well? I want to know what music you favor with your chosen NC's. Thank You, A1811.
