    Srh 1540 after market cable?

    Unfortunately they didnt fit in the srh 1540 plug (the plastic hole wasnt wide enough/deep enough to let the connections fit into the headphone’s terminal) So yea, they seemed like high quality though! I resold them

    open back iem's

    So brief thoughts on the Fiio EM5's Sound was great, can be very much bass boosted with an amp and parametric eq. Clarity is conserved. Unfortunately my right ear hurt from the weight of them pushing down on the outer part of my ear. Apparently my right ear is just a little bit smaller than...

    Hifiman 400i 2020 pad "bracket" for sale?

    Hi all, i'll clarify: I bought some upgrade pads for the 400i 2020 and stupidly didnt realize that there was a special mounting bracket glued to the pads. The Ether C pads I bought didnt have them glued on Are these brackets sold separately anywhere? Any ideas are much appreciated! Thank you...

    So let me try to get this straight IEM’s by definition go deeper into the ear canal? Ear buds: rest in the outer ear Ear pods: an apple product where the shape became more angular and so put the driver a little closer to the inner ear but still rests on the outer ear (still ear buds) Bose...

    open back iem's

    Those seem like they tick the "open back" box for iem's but I am particularly sensitive to iem's that squeeze to make a seal (these seem like they would a bit but it's hard to tell). I'm quite taken by the apple iem's ("ear pods" as shown in GREQ's post) fit in how it just rests in the ear...

    Balanced amp with 4.4 mm port?

Can it really "open up" a soundstage? This begs the question more generally, what is a sound stage, and can it be approximated...
