Nobody here who can tell a man what materials are best suited for this?

Yes, definitely degenerated over time - these where bought during the '70s and have probably never been used the last 20 years. still sound great though I saw someone on a dutch forum with the same cans and the same "problem" - he stated that he replaced it so I'll probably do that to if I know...

So I recently found out we still have a very nice pair of headphones (Philips N6330) lying around at home and decided to try them out (parents thought they were broken since they hardly output anything without an amp lol). Yesterday I cleaned them out and opened them to see that the foam inside...

Just found out what they are: Philips N6330. It's basically a re-branded AKG K240 sextett with a different construction (some people claim the soundstage is not quite the same as the sextett's). Thanks for help anyway.

AKG was also my first thought but I've never seen that small logo. Open headphones, very heavy but nice headband.   I don't have a lot of experience but they sound pretty good. Pretty pronounced bass for headphones, more pronounced as my DT770's. Definitely depth in the music but maybe bit...

I found an old pair of headphones at home and they don't seem to have any kind of brand or model indication on them. http://imgur.com/a/AZwlc   close up of the connector which shows "Made in West Germany" and a small logo http://i.imgur.com/yme7np2.jpg   Measured them as being 600 Ohm  ...

Hi! Im a belgian student and for me most things here a pretty new. Last year i earned some money with a student job and i decided to spend everything together with the money i saved. I bought a dt770 pro 250 ohm headphone cause i heard so much good things about them it seemed like a great...

few months since ive been here at head-fi....   for the unified drivers, yo will need to uninstall asus driver first and then reboot and install the unifieds. i recommend you choose the "low dpc" driver for current version

i can really recommend you the razer carcharias (stereo headset). it's cheap (€75) and it's really good value, for gaming and music (you're a gamer, not?)   for gaming i use dolby headphone and 7.1 virtualisation with a xonar stx. the dobly things work pretty good and the stx also makes...

still no answers :(   bump

nothing more weird and great as KOOL KEITH, the absolute underground hip hop master   his first album Dr. Octagonecologyst is released under the name of Dr. Octagon. Dr. Octagon is time traveling creature and gynecologist (=Doctor) from Jupiter. I can't describe him more here, it's just...

i have the stx and i am using the unified drivers   when installing them, check the c-media panel and leave the rest like it is. once installed, the c-media panel will be launched (in background, taskbar) when booting and if u want to use your (old) xonar audio center, you need to manually...

i do have the same hiss as you do. no idea how to get rid of it though... :/ (and i also have a seperate, modular psu cable going from my cooler master m600 to my xonar stx) but if i turn off mic boost, i can't hear anything when monitoring my mic...(razer carcharias headset mic) it's not...

they will only be used for listening music

the problem is solved! actually i have no idea why, maybe just because of a reboot? i dunno, but it works properly now and that's what matters

i have the essence stx and i just wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences (although i do game, i'm more a music listener)

yesterday i decided to try wasapi with foobar i got everything working and foobar gets exclusive access to my asus xonar essence stx but the strange thing is: if i don't use "Hifi mode" in the xonar audio center while playing audio through foobar with wasapi exclusive mode, the audio...

i have an asus xonar essence stx card and i'm planning to buy the krk rp5 "rokit 5" g2 these krk's have balanced inputs and rca, unbalanced input. as my stx only has unbalanced, rca outputs, i would just do stx (rca) >> (rca) krk's the cable will only be 1.5m long   is this a good idea...

Quote:   thanks for response. yes, but a decent pair of speakers shouldn't fail so quick as i read... i also have other speaker such as a very old pair of b&w bookshelves and they still work fine. i even have a cheap €250 philips system that still works great after 3-4years.   but...

i have heard a lot of good things about m-audio speakers/monitors (bx5, av40,...) because of their great sound for a such a small price (i don't have any myself). but, i've also seen multiple posts of people whose m-audio speakers are broke within 2years of normal use(broken capacitors and...

First of all, hello everyone! (I'm new here) I live in Belgium and speak Dutch but I think my English is good   I have a ASUS Xonar Essence STX card, Razer Carcharias headphones and a Philips MCM761 micro-system (both hooked up to the STX). I would like to upgrade my equipment (not the...
