why do some earbuds sound hollow and echoey? if i block the bass port they sound better.

Does the felt on the back of the driver effect efficincy. I bought a pair of DJ headphones (doesnt matter which)(they are sort of fashion oriented), but to my surprise, the sound is actually balanced, and there is no boomy bass or recessed mids to be found. they sound nice but on my computer and...

What IEM is the singer wearing in this video?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa-QpSyVjXU

The nakamichi NK-900 borrows it's looks heavily from the Skullcandy/ROC nation Aviators. They are foldable and they have a in-line volume control/mic/pause control button. the cable is terminated with a 3.5MM TRRS connector.    Aside from the looks which are surprisingly nice, they provide a...

Bouth these headphones yesterday out of curiosity. Very Bass-heavy cans. Suited for EDM/Dubstep and hiphop mostly. If you're a super crazy detail nut you might not love them. I havent worn them in yet so I cant come to a true consensus on this aspect of the sound. They do show promise though. ...

How do these headphones compare sound quality wise? They look similar but that spell nothing. Everyone copies each other in the Audio world.

I picked up some old realistic portable phones, in mint condition. at a  thrift  along with a  Sony  discman I have to say they sound as good if not  better than the Koss titanium driverheadphones I once had.   The bass is tight and the highs are crisp. Maybe a bit on the bright side but not...

I have had some cheap $15.00 Nakamichi earbuds that sounded kind of hollow, in the mids dripped some glue into the  ports and now the resonance is gone. Seems like they would be good cheap IEMs if they hadn't included the port.. having no port at all improved everything, including the highs...

How do you tame a 90Hz resonance in a pair of headphones?  Burn them in and losen the drivers, or something else like dampening the enclosure? 

What is the Agc. range? I was reading a thread on audiokarma about why older CDp's and even some newer ones will not play burned CD's and someone said that the AGC range is often not enough for the player to read the CD.

How good are they. They are like $50.00 or so. Polk is very popular with budget audiophiles. Anyone own them? Don't remember the model number.

I wanted to buy a DAC sometime in the future for my Mid-fi. Moderate hi-fi system. It sounds fine now but I heard that a good DAC would boost the quality of sound up a few notches.  I am happy with my system now but I want to experiment on sound quality.    I do not care for in premium...

I have a pair of these speakers, they are Black and Have a sealed Cabinet. They Have a "1.5" cone tweeter with a Phenolic ring surround and a "6.5" woofer with foam surround which is still soft.   they say EPI Model 70 on the Baffle   A Harman International company.....   I know the...

I went to BB and I saw a new line of sony headphones, I am kind of a sony headphone lover (except the XD-100) which has distorted bass...   I was wondering if anyone heard them, I need a portable HP with a snug grip and high efficency for my eclipse mp3 player  and these look similar to what...

Are metal dome tweeters speacial in any kind of way? I have read reports of them being Vey accurate and some other reports of a harsh, brittle sound that eminates from such a tweeter.  A metal tweeter would be more durable than a rubber or cloth dome, and wouldnt the charachteristics of the...

I took the woofer out of the cabinet of my vintage speaker, and the magnet is pretty small, the speakers are rated at 40 watts. I have them hooked up to a A/V receiver, and I dont turn them up too high because I am afraid of blowing them, I think I need a better A/V receiver to "open them up". ...

Can anyone here recommend some good earbuds with TONS of bass, I listen to mostly Trance, Prog house, & Dubstep

Are they any good? I have some earbuds by them and a pair of on ears theyre Okay I guess...   The wooden and metal earbuds  sound better than the plastic ones  though. I lost the metal ones..
