Address: J4X 1Z7 Hoping to start early on the planning for this meetup since last year was a little last minute and the potential meet up times ended up overlapping with school for a lot of our members. I'm hoping to see a meet organized for sometime in August since that's just before...

I'm doing a short presentation in my business communications class and the topic choice was really broad (well... completely open) I decided to just present my thoughts on the differences between celebrity and audiophile headphones. But I'd like to get some real data from other audiophiles! I...

Hello! In the past there have been problems with organizing meets but we've managed successful meets for the past 2 years (successful meaning nothing was damaged and a good turnout considering the lack of interest in the hobby in the area). Here's the impressions thread from last year...

I'd like to organize a small meet for SSI this year. I'd like to propose that we meet up, tour the areas, have a little bite together and talk about all the setups and such. Anyway, just a thought since I'll be going again this year.

I haven't had to post a recommendations thread in a while but here goes nothing. I'm looking to go TOTL for IEMs. I'm moving away from home audio since I simply don't listen to music much at home anymore and am always on the go. I do not want to go through the trouble of CIEMs so this is...

We had one last year and I thought it was very interesting and fun. This is a thread checking any interest in a Head-Fi meet in Montreal. Date is set for the 24th of august! Post away! Last year's meet: www.youtube.com/embed/TERiWOhfX4Y

Currently have the HD800 run by an ODAC and O2. I don't like the ODAC and the O2 broke (but I'm likely going to get it repaired, so I'm not going to just get another one). My budget is around $300 right now for a decent budget amp that synergizes well with the hd800. I prefer crisper sound from...

After a whole 2 months since I bought them brand new, my Beyerdynamic T5p is having problems with the left channel. I've tested with multiple sources and with different headphones. Both tests lead me to believe that it's a problem with the T5p themselves. The problem is the left channel will...

So I saw an ad here on head-fi for atomic floyd IEMs so I clicked it and was surprised to be brought to a professional looking website. They look decent, having primarily metal builds. What interested me the most was the descriptions of the sound provided by the manufacturers. Now, I know these...

I just found out about the Beyerdynamic Custom Ones. I haven't seen any threads about it yet so I'm posting one now =) The Beyerdynamic Custom Ones seem 100% new and I haven't seen much info about them just yet. The official page says that the C.Os (Custom Ones) use a 16 ohm driver and have an...

I was just thinking... When my T5ps came in, the pads were moist and hydrated and very soft. Now after over a month, the pads are more dry and not as soft. I was wondering if using a leather treatment or other type of leather care is good for the pads...

Hi guys, looking for suggestions on a portable amp for my new T5ps. I need something pocket sized, not enormous like the HP-P1. In terms of sound, I'd like something that has a bass boost function to help with some of those holes in the bass of the T5p and because they're bass light (to me...

I recently received my T5p and have been really enjoying them with all sorts of music but when my shuffle function reached Freefall by Feint, I felt something was wrong. I'm currently using them straight from my iPhone 4 with no equalizer at 33% volume. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM134Tu3IyI...

I was almost sure I was going to buy the Ultrasone Edition 8s today as I was saving up for them for a while, sold my old headphones for them and talked to some stores about getting a cheaper quote. I found an authorized seller for 1050$ from the US which included shipping to my place here in...

Hey guys, I recently sold most of my stuff to fund a purchase in the high end portable department. My question is, what's my best option in terms of high end portable monitors? My price range is about 900$ total (so it should come to 900$ after shipping). The reason I want to spend so much on...

I've been looking at headphones and asking a few people here and there their thoughts and I'm still not sure on a specific model. I currently have the B&W P5 which I'll continue to use for portable use but I'm looking for a nice headphone I can use on the train, at the library and at home...

Anyway, I saw these: http://www.onecall.com/product/Monster/TRON-T1-Daft-Punk-Limited-Edition/Cell-phone-headphones/_/R-108316 And was wondering if this is part of the new series of monster headphones... interesting to see what they're doing.

Hi guys and gals, I'm GL1TCH3D and I need some help with my portable rig... In terms of headphones, I have the Sony mdr-xb500, B&W P5 as well as I'm getting the Beyer T70 if all goes as planned. What's my problem? I'm out of the house for 10 hours a day or so and my only source is my iphone 4...

Hi Head-Fi, I'm very interested in the Beyerdynamic T70 and T70p but I'm not sure which ones to choose... I have an iPhone 4 that I'll be using to drive it with the possibility of a portable amp in the future (but not anytime soon). I'll be using them at home and occasionally on the go (train...

I'm looking for a new relatively portable headphone. Uses: Home and outside use (walking, car, bus). Music: I listen mainly to rock, alternative and techno with occasional classical, metal and punk. I don't listen to jazz. Equipment: I'm going to be rockboxing an iPod fat to use for music. I...

Looking for good portable over-ear, closed-back headphones with good soundstage. I've heard a lot of good things about the Audio-Technica ATH-A900 but it's hard to get them here in Canada =/ So before I shell out a ton on shipping (a ton for me) what other cans would people here suggest...

I'm looking to buy a new pair of headphones. I'm leaning more towards the ATH-A900s because of the great reviews I've read about them, but is there a pair of cans I overlooked? My price range is <250$ CDN.   All help is appreciated =3   EDIT: I prefer closed ear designs for noisy places.
