    A totally un-unique problem.

    For question 2 I don't think there's any quality loss, but it's pointless to convert MP3 to FLAC.

    Broken plug on my ESW9s

    I'm not in NYC if that's what you mean by "the city". I go to school in Ann Arbor, MI and my hometown is in Boston. Is it possible to screw up the retermination so badly that it makes your headphones useless? That's mostly what I'm afraid of. I think my dad might have a soldering iron and...

    Broken plug on my ESW9s

    I was listening to my ESW9s a couple of months ago and I stood up and yanked the plug while it was still connected to my computer. Ever since I've had to wiggle it into place into any jack to get sound out of both channels. Right now, it's gotten to a point where I can't get get both channels...

    Yuin PK3 Impressions Thread

    Mine just broke, but I love them so much that I ordered another pair. Can't beat the price point and form factor!

    Broken PK3s =(

    The insulation is worn through near the jack but I'm not sure if the cable is split. I bought them off ebay, so I'm emailing the seller (it's not head-direct) but I'm not hopeful for an exchange. I'll probably order another pair of PK3s from head-direct.

    Broken PK3s =(

    The right channel doesn't work. Does anyone know if I can exchange/replace them? Otherwise, I'm thinking of upgrading, perhaps to PK2s or OK3s. Can anyone recommend any other earbuds/portable headphones? (budget is less than $100, not interested in IEMs) I also have a broken LOD cable that...

    Xonar Essence STX: Sneak Peek!

    Does the headphone amp compare with a ~$200 desktop amp like the Millet Starving Student/Hybrid or Little Dot I+? I might consider getting one for college next year along with new headphones.

    Chaintech AV-710 Setup Thread, Including True 44.1kHz Wolfson Output in XP

    Anyone have success installing the 5.40a drivers on Windows 7? I can install it under Vista compatibility mode, but it doesn't playback sound.

    treating myself to some headphones

    Closed blocks most of the sound around you. But the A700 is much inferior in sound quality to the AD700 I've heard.

    Mine was canceled too =(

    Who took advantage of the K601 from Headroom for $89?

    What would be a good desktop amp to go with the K601? Would a Millet Hybrid do the job? Little Dot I+?
