[image loading]
broke for the second time today (frayed cord). This time warranty won't cover the replacement, and I'm out of luck on in-ears.

Any suggestions for in-ears OR headsets ~$80 would be much appreciated.


Can't you just buy new cable?


I'm inquiring about this route, I am not entirely happy with Westone at the moment, so I am not sure how much I would be willing to spend to keep them in service...considering this seems to be a once a year repair.

Still taking suggestions .

Looking into buying a pair of iem's with volume control + mic, for my cellphone. The one I'm eyeing is the Xiaomi piston 2, was wondering if anyone here have used them, and their experiences with it.

Are the ATH-M50x's still a good buy? Thinking of picking it up this Christmas.

Detachable cables are a godsend and the M50s are a solid pair of headphones. If you like closed headphones then yes, they're absolutely still a good buy.

Thanks! Prices in my country are really weird and I just found a retailer that has it at close to dollar conversion price.

That's a tempting deal but I read that they have durability issues - which is actually the main attribute I look for now when I consider IEMs.

only $800 or so in total ahaha :D

they're great. it's really different though because the bass isn't the same rumbly type you get from uiems and headphones so a lot of things sound different. and i still have no idea how to put them in my ear or how they should fit so it's a work in progress. but they make everything sound very ... normal. like none of the crazy bass and no screechy highs. not as magical as getting bass monsters but there's a bunch of nuances that show up in songs because it feels like you can focus your listening a bit better with how far up your ear they are. :p

Don't hesitate! The Xiaomi Pistons are easily worth three times their price, and this is coming from one who has heard and owned IEMs across the entire price spectrum. Just beware of fakes though- genuine sets should not go for below 15 bucks.

let us know how it pairs with the HD650 :D
I've never been into tubes myself since I prefer a single dac/amp unit due to space, but Woo Audio fans have got me interested in tubes

I just bought the ATH-M50x! Now I need a good sound library for these things. Do you have any recommendations for sources of loss-less music or are regular MP3's okay?

Just recently bought some new sound equipment (SB Z and DT990pros) and asked my self the same question.

Currently I am trying out this sweet piece of PC software. Sonata Music Server It got a 30 days trial period

Based on the jriver media software but with a few of sweet additions.(Ripping stuff etc.) Encountered a couple of instabilities so far but other than that it is really good. The interface is sweet and functions are too.

lossless and 320 kbps isn't a guarantee that the quality is good, but generally its better than regular 128 kbps mp3. If you have the space for it, then go loseless if you can. I use foobar2k as my audio player.
