    Review by 'marcusgi' on item 'Skullcandy Hesh 2.0 Wireless'

    I needed some wireless headphones to go walking with, these are great for that. Not walking where you sweat, but just a casual walk around the park. They feel like pillows. The pads are what make this phone 200 times better than the Hesh 2 wired. Got them on sale at Best Buy for $79.99. No they...

    Audio-Technica ATH-A900X: Impressions, Reviews, Mods, etc.

    yeahman68 and others wondering if the A900x need an amp,   After listening to M-50's for a couple of years with an Fiio E-11 amp, I began to really analyze the sound signature and started to turn down the volume and bass. I guess I am starting to become more an audiophile where I want to...

    Sony ZX600 earpads

    Hello,   Has anyone found any more comfortable pads then the pleather ones that currently come on these HP's? A cloth or velour might be better.   Thanks!

    Audio Technica ATH-A900X Discussion Thread (Formerly A-900X Review)

    For those of you with a big head like mine, just put the wing support on a bent pillow for a few hours and wow, the hard clamp is gone. whew, I thought I was going to have to return them. If they get a little too loose, which mine did NOT, you can bend them back carefully or use the shoestring...

    Audio-Technica ATH-A900X: Impressions, Reviews, Mods, etc.

    First of all, tseliottt thanks for the shoe string mod. makes them fit perfect.   I have both A900X and M50. Each is really great for different things, they compliment each other.   A900X: worn at home on the PC and amp. Soundstage is great, midrange pronounced, where you can hear all...

    Want to try GRADO, any views on model to get?

    I know that you said you didn't want to spend a fortune, but there was a big difference in SR60i/SR80i and the SR225i. There should be, they are double the price. If you really love the bright sparkly music that Grado's produce, you love the SR225i's, IMO. It might just be a justification to...

    Best comfort headphone

    I have ATH-M50, love the sound. But when it's hot or I want to wear a HP that just feels like nothing, I put on my Grado SR225i's. They are a little brighter, but that is fixed with a little eq or amp. If you wash the bowls in detergent and bend the headband perfectly, they are super comfy...

    Nose's Grado Post Mod w/ Shaft Collar and Rubber O Ring

      I know it is 3-4 years later, but this is still a great little mod. I got 2 1/8" shaft collars and 50 O rings off of ebay for about $15 total (delivered to the house). The collars are black so they look really slick on my SR-80's. The rods were getting really loose and tangling the cord...

    Audio-Technica ATH-M50's

    I would really think it would be hard to break M50's, they are built solid. They have survived dropping, ran over with computer chair. I have a large head, so I have to really stretch them out (bend them). I used the box they came with overnight and they are super comfy. I needed a closed phone...

    Audio-Technica ATH-M50's

    SONY MDR-XB50 felt like mushy marshmallows. Sounded pretty muddy personally. I have recently got 2 pair of M50's and a Fiio E11 Amp. However, I have to be honest, it all depends on your source. :-)

    ATH M50 Amping

    ATH M50 is a good headphone without an amp, but as B-Dawk20 said, if you use an amp, it can save your battery life on the player. I personally love the E-11 (about $60) with my mp3 player. It rubberbands to it and just balances out the good stuff, takes away the harshness. The reason I prefer...

    FiiO E11 & E11K & A3 Information + Support

    So, I measured my old battery and low and behold it was around 4.5-4.6 volts too. All of this was not the batteries, it was the contacts in the E-11. I took a pair of tweezer and pulled on the contacts a little and now all the batteries work. Just thought I would share with others that might...

    FiiO E11 & E11K & A3 Information + Support

    ClieOS,   Thanks for your quick response, I have a 2nd (different brand) battery on order, that has worked since I ordered the E11. Works like a champ. http://www.ebay.com/itm/110676898902   I wonder how long it would take the Feipusi BL-5B battery to drain from 4.6 to 4.0 volts...

    FiiO E11 & E11K & A3 Information + Support

    ClieOS,   I got these batteries on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180728266763   Charged them up and put in the E11, wont turn on. I used my volt meter and they are running about 4.6 volts.   I noticed in your original post: It has an internal protection...
