I've been here for quite some time but haven't really sold on eBay before. I just had some headphones sold on eBay. Someone from the US placed a last minute bid. It's $1.100, and I'm getting a bad feeling. Can someone seasoned in these sales give you opinion? Points I find interesting: 1...

I don't listen to much music on-the-go except with IEMs, but have a little DAC/AMP on my computer desk, which I use mostly to listen to FLACs and gaming. I'm considering the HD800 now and at 300 Ohms I'm not sure the current model will work (it's a Meier Corda Move)   I'm a bit overwhelmed...

Hi all,   I'm looking for new IEMs after both my Mylar X3 and Fischer Eterna died.   My preferences with audio usually lean towards a brighter sound and with a huge soundstage. I like the 3D wide all-around you feeling that I get with my normal sized beanbags Sony MDR-CD3000.   I'm looking...

Hello all,   I have been using my Fischer Audio Eterna for some time now mostly when walking/on the subway and so on, mostly for audiobooks. For music they have a great soundstage but are a bit too dark and lacking detail so I use other headphones.   Looking for a second pair of IEMs...

I'm looking for a reliable place to buy the Audio Eterna here in europe... any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm getting tired of the hissing when listening on my desktop. I bought a Meier Corda Move USB DAC+Amp some time ago and things got better but didn't get perfect. What annoys me the most is the fact that silent parts in music are not flat, black, fully quiet. There's always a bit of hissing...

I got an Asus EEE PC 1000H last week. The netbook aspect is irrelevant but I was surprised when I plugged in my headphones... the sound quality is outstanding for a laptop/computer/netbook. Soundstage, bass and best of all, total lack of hiss and that annoying noise that is usually present...

Hello friends, Been away from the forum for some time but I guess that is because I have been satisfied with my current setup. My Sony MDR-CD3000 still sound great after all these years but the problem is that the pads are now shredding, despite my taking good care of them. Can anyone...

Hello all, I recently lost access to most of my audio gear (changed apartment) and while I'm not back with it all I'm looking for a solution to hear good music using only my computer (or laptop) and my headphones (Sony CD 3000, Koss Portapro and Crossroads Mylar X3).... Seems i'm stuck...

I've been trying to find the 75 to replace my Sony E888 but they're not very common around here. Lots of PortaPros but no one is selling 75s in Lisbon. Tried to order from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de but they don't ship that product to Portugal (?). Anyone knows any decent store in the EU...

I've had my Sony MDR CD3K for years now and remain very pleased with them. But the pads are a problem now. I've always taken good care of these headphones, stored 'em in the case, with a good microfiber cloth between the pads, those bags of silica gel because of humidity, etc... but even that...

I'm here listening to Domingo & Freni's Tosca on Deutsche Grammophone and thinking that I definltely wasn't completely insane when I parted with a considerable pile of cash to get the 3K. These are definitely very close to my concept of perfect headphones. Ahhh... However, I can't use these...

I am starting to feel ashamed for using a MS Word file with a little table to store my list of ~800 CDs. Years ago it seemed addequate, but it kept growing and I've been too lazy to do something better. I've looked at a couple of tools to store CD data, but they didn't seem addequate... I...

This is what would could define as a fairly useless post, but I just got so in the mood with my CD3000 right now that I felt like coming here and posting this nonsense. I have about 800 CDs and out of them all there's one that often pops up as the best sounding with the CD3000.... Dave's...

Hey guys, I haven't been Head-Fi'ing or Headwizing much lately. Ah life..so little time and so many things to do. Anyway, I just dug out my MDR-CD3000 and one of my home made test CDs. Test in the "show off" sense, I sometimes compile a few CDs with tracks that have particularly...

I am finally getting tired of using my gear with portable CD players and cdroms/soundcards that aren't really supplying the best output. I use mostly low impedance headphones and in most cases I don't notice any lack of amplification power, even with cheap portables. What annoys me the most...

I am getting tired of hearing about the KSC-35. I have bought the Sony E-888 and the Sennheiser MX500 for use at work, but none of the two truly satisfies me. I wonder if the KSC35 are really all that good to justify ANOTHER purchase... it will be pricey since I will have to mail order...

Well, I've been using the MX500 and E888 at work for about 4 months now. I won't even get into the issue of which one I prefer... the problem now is that I came to the conclusion that I'm still not fully satisfied because isolation could be better. (If I push te E888 close to my ears and kinda...

Now this might be a strange thread, but I've been hearing about people buying "Radioshak" foamies and just replacing the original foamies with others... I could use some for several headphones (MX500, E888, Nokia headsets, etc), but I just can't find them on sale here in Lisbon. Anyone has...

So are the MX 400 really the same units as the MX 500, excpt for the volume control? Anyone knows if Sennheiser does state this? Thanks.

Has anyone tried both? So far I am really not all that impressed with the Sennheiser MX 500, and am still looking for small earbuds to use at work... Sorry MX500 fans... I admit these are excellent for the small amount of cash I left at the store... but even so, sound is lightyears behind of...

I thought some of you would like to know about this portable CD Player I found.... Actually, I think I saw someone mention it here before.. perhaps blr... Anyway, my girlfriend just bought a Denver DM-44T portable. It looks incredibly cheap, and it cost only about $30 USD... headphones are...

I just moved to a new corporate environment and was happy to notice that most workers around me use headphones whenever they want to. I really don't think I should use my CD3000 there, they would probably fire me... What would you guys suggest for use at work? I need something that is...

Plextor has announced today another recorder. The latest model seems quite optimized for audio use. Less jitter (better PCB circuit and black interior) and the ability to control the laser power (At the time I don't know any brands that allow this). Perhaps this means better quality for our...

Thought you'd like to know what one of the CD technology authors think about CD-A Copy Protections. January 02 Philips, the inventor of the Compact Disc, does not expect controversial attempts by the music industry to introduce CD "copy protection" technologies to last very long, because...
