Hey all,   I currently own a Westone 4R and Oppo PM-3 and am interested in getting another pair of IEM's.     I'm looking for an IEM with a better midrange. I like the Westone 4R's, the the midrange gets "boring" after a while.     1. Do you guys have any thoughts about these 3 IEM's...

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new pair of IEM's and I was looking for some input! I currently own Westone 4R's and Oppo PM-3's (just bought). I think I might return the PM-3's and go back to IEM's since I prefer the portability, comfort, and detail of IEM's. Anyways, I was looking for...

I currently own Westone 4R's and I'm interested in getting a pair of closed headphones.   I'm looking at the Oppo PM-3 ($400), the Shure SRH1540 ($500), and the Audeze EL-8-closed ($700).   I have heard many good things about the PM-3's, but not sure if the Shure and Audeze headphones are...

Hey guys,   I currently own: - Etymotic HF5 - Westone 4R   Previously owned: - Shure 535 - Sennheiser Momentum     I am in the market for a new pair of IEM's or headphones.   1. I like my Etys, but they just don't give enough "oomph" as the Westones, but the Westones aren't very...

I read the other post about this debate, but basically what I got from it is that anything over 16/48 is excessive and unnoticeable. Is this true? I'm interested in getting the B&W MM-1, but apparently its DAC only supports a maximum USB playback of 16/48. Does this mean that it won't playback...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a pair of sub-$500 pair of computer speakers for music.    I'm currently looking at: - B&W MM-1 (heard they have a hissing problem...?) - Audio Engine A2 - airmotiv 4 - Focal XS Book   These speakers are going to be used for playing music from my computer...

Hey guys,   A few questions here:   1. How much does the iPhone 5 benefit from an external DAC/amp like the V-Moda Venza (or other external DACs/amps) when paired with IEMs? Is there significant/noticeable improvement?   2. What is the amp actually for? I know the DAC helps create...

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a DAC and/or amp to connect to my MacBook Pro and iPhone to drive the following: - Sennheiser Momentums - Westone 4R - speakers like B&W A7 or similar (connecting this to my computer via dac) Any recommendations? I heard the Dragonfly is a good dac, but would I...

Hey guys, I'm looking for something like the B&W A7 that can fill a room (dorm or small apartment sized) with good and clean audio. I like the airplay feature on the A7 for parties/relaxing and what not, but other times I'll probably have it plugged into my computer via USB for the better sound...

Hi,   I have had a pair of Westone 4R's for a few months, and I dropped them (the IEM's itself) onto the ground and I was wondering if it is possible for them to have suffered internal damage? They sound fine and don't show any cosmetic damage, but I was just wondering if they have any...

Hey guys,   I have a pair of Sennheiser Momentums that I really like and my friend was telling me to check out the Shure 535's. I only got a chance to hear them for about 5 minutes and I'm not sure whether or not they're better than the Momentums (or even worth all the hype they they're...

Hey guys,   I have a beats wireless that I got as a gift, and I really don't like it. I'm planning to sell it and get a better quality headphone.  Some that I am thinking about: - Sennheiser Momentum - Bose QC15 - Beats Studio (I listened to it for a minute, and it was noisy...
