My partner wanted noise cancelling headphones so she bought the Bose QC35 (corrected from QC30 Oops) as they seemed to cancel more frequencies than most. Anyway she has mislaid the cable as she doesn't use it very often. The cable is a 2.5mm stereo jack plug to a 3.5mm stereo jack plug. As I...

Trying to find a bluetooth transmitter to go from tv to Bose QC35. There seem to be a huge number available so I am trying to find a reasonable one. As it's for tv low latency is fairly important and ideally that ability to stream simultaneously to 2 pairs of bluetooth headphones. It would also...

My partner is very noise sensitive (long story) and we have neighbours that play loudish music during the day, council are dealing but it will take time to resolve. The music can be heard through closed double glazing!    So I am trying to find some headphones that will block as much noise as...

Help. My girlfriend has just bought a 'silent guitar' to practice in the lounge (using headphones) with while I watch TV. The problem is she has taken a liking to my old faithful Goldring NS1000. The problem is she isn't as careful with things and I don't want my ns1000 broken.   So I need to...

This is probably a really silly question and not completely headphone related but I guessed you guys have lots of knowledge on headphones and pc sound?   My girlfriend has a VOXAMPlug Guitar headphone amp so she can play her electric guitar and not disturb anyone. It works fine as she plugs...

Really sorry for this being not headphones related but after finding this forum, during my research for new headphones, and my subsequent testing and buying Sennheisser HD558s (Christmas present) I have started looking at my Cinema system. You chaps seem to be very knowledgeable and helpful so I...

Just seen an announcement that as of 11Dec 2013 Spotify is now free on PC, iOs and Android. It does have ads and a few other premium features are not available to the free version but the quality settings seem to work.   I am assuming that this isn't just a UK thing?

I am not trying to start any arguments but if say a 24bit 96Khz DAC is converting digital data to analogue voltage how can DAC, with same bit rate and frequency, be any better than any another?   What I mean is that with a resolution of 24 bits and freq of 96Khz this equates to 16777216...

Getting some HD558 for Christmas and wondering about a Fiio E17 to provide better dac and amp. I intend using the combo on my desktop pc, small netbook pc, and, in my cinema room for connecting to the optical out from FreeSatHD (Humax FoxSat HD), FreeviewHD(Smartbox 8320hd) , Bluray (cheapy one)...

My girlfriend is teaching herself to play the electric guitar. She is using a small practice amp and has to use headphones plugged into the amp most of the time to keep the noise down :) She spotted the VOX Guitar Headphones that simply plug into the guitar and away you go. The Guitar side of...

Thanks to recommendations on here and a long listening session in a store I have ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD 558 as my Christmas present. I will mainly use them for my home cinema viewing, maybe on my desktop (Packard Bell S2870) and on occasions on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525). Problem...

I need open backed headphone so I can hear doorbell and phone. I need them for watching TV, movies, music (80's pop), listening will only be indoors in a room on my own so leakage is not a problem but I may be using them for extended listening periods of up to 8hrs. The Grado SR80is are in my...
