K518LE impressions
I purchased these against the recommendations of some of my homies, LOL...I just had to try them. I got the yellow ones from Amazon for $45. As of late, I've been wanting a decent all-rounder that has a slight lean toward bass. Used to run a Dell Jukebox with Senn EH350's back in the day...- chelboed

Why is creating a playlist for a Rbox'd Clip+ so difficult?
I really don't get it??? Why can't I just create my playlist on WMP and drag it to my player? Who the crap has time to type out file paths for a freakin' buttload of songs just for a playlist? I still don't know how to do it and I've read the rockbox manual that was useless. ...- chelboed

Compare k81dj to q460
I kinda liked the clarity of the q460, but bass was a tad weak. Will the k81 retain the clarity of the QJ but with more bass impact? (I'm obviously trying my hardest not to go all the way up to a full size...181 or m50 if I dont need to)- chelboed

Flat sound vs. "fun sound"...so flat isn't fun?
I just don't get this whole headphone review mindset of "these are great b/c of the ultra flat freq response". Flip side...these are fantastic because of the warm "fun" sound they portray...far from a flat response, but very desirable. So which is it? I hear people who praise the flat...- chelboed

EQ settings per song...does it exist outside of Android?
I like to use my Clip+, but I d/l'd PowerAmp for my Evo and use it with an E5. The nice thing about it is that when I play something like an 80's rap playlist with some LoFi and HiFi...I can set the EQ to be different for each song. I set it for a general good sound, but when I find a song...- chelboed

My old fav's from pre-Head.fi days...are now disappointing...
I used to listen to music all the time. I took a hiatus for a while and got back into it with headphones. The funny thing is...now that I'm a little more mature and "into the sound" and dynamics of the production...alot of my old fav's have let me down. Prime example: I love VanHalen... -
Comply Foam Neutered my Turbines
I have finally gotten some IEM's that I'm sorta digging after searching for a while.

Is IEM soundstage a myth?
Hey guys...I was wondering...from the MD Tribs and turbines to S4's and Vmodas...there's no "airy feeling" of sound stage that I can detect. Is it pretty much impossible to create that feeling when the speaker is only a cm from your eardrum? Is it something that is achieved with creating...- chelboed

Klipsch s4 vs K181DJ (bear with me)
I can only afford 1 right now though I'd like to get both. Which one sounds better ultimately? I realize that they're completely different styles and portability has no bearing on the decision. I liked my q460's for jazz, electr, dj...but they were lacking in the "rock" department. I...- chelboed

Finally found a use for the Fiio E5
My HTC EVO sux something fierce when it comes to audio. I downloaded "Power Amp" just for the EQ. Scooped out the mids a bit and took the raw'ness away, but then it didn't have enough to drive anything w/o distorting like mad. The E5 gave the signal enough power to drive my cans.

Fuze over Clip+ for EQ'd bass-heavy muzak with AKG q460's.
I just picked up a Fuze v1 for 29.99 that looks like brand daggum new! 4GB. I Rockboxed it and set the EQ to the same settings that I use for my Clip+. I started out with a little bit of G-Stoned Book album. I noticed that the mid-bass was a little heavier sounding through my AKG Q460's. I had...- chelboed

AKG Q460 "Quincy Jones" vs. Koss PortaPro [{(nooblet impressions)}]
This is a very subjective noob review for people who aren't terribly concerned with pure signal source. I use EQ on my player. I don't compare these two headphones with the same EQ settings. I'm comparing their potential, I guess. I definitely listened to them with the EQ flat...just for kicks...- chelboed

My FLAC files are bass-ackward!
Over the years, I had been using WMP to rip to WMA Lossless or .wav. I finally decided to move over to FLAC, so I downloaded "Free Audio Pack" to convert to FLAC and all be daggum if it didn't transpose my L/R. Everything stereo is playing in the wrong ear. What gives?- chelboed
