Hello, my pads are in terrible condition after using them for, what, five years? Anyway, I'm planning on replacing them when I can. I'm in a situation where I need to save money, so I can't really justify spending, like, $70 on new pads atm. Not to say I'm looking for cheap replacements, cuz I...

So that's a better idea than just buying some kind of replacement cable? Also, is there a particular way of shopping for them? I really don't want to accidentally make a poor decision and end up paying more than what I should or less and order from some place with terrible QC.

So, I asked a few pages back, but does anyone know of a good kinda cheap ER-4P cable I can get?

Nvm, the issue has been resolved

This is the first Fiio driver I've installed, and no other cable is working. Interestingly, before the Windows OS boots up, the DAC interface stays on the X3ii for longer than a part of a second, and it closes as soon as Windows boots up. Any suggestions of what I should do from here?

Oh Oh, so, what cables would I get for them then?

I have an S-converter.

So, when my dad resoldered my Q701 after it had the inside soldering come out, he ended up damaging the outside grill. However, he accidentally left a loose screw in it. How do I take the Q701 grill off without damaging it?

I'm wanting to replace the cable on my ER-4S. The main thing I want is a cable that won't create a bunch of noise when they rub up against something. I've asked a little bit and someone told me that these were decent cables...

1 I'm using Windows 10 2 I did download the right DAC driver 3 I can try later, though there's nothing wrong with the one I'm using. It did storage mode perfectly fine.

I have installed the latest firmware to my Fiio X3II, but I'm running into an issue.  Whenever I plug it into my computer, the DAC screen flashes for a part of a second, then it immediately returns to the home menu.  Due to this, I have been unable to install the drivers needed to run the...

The goal of a truly neutral headphone is to best compensate for the curves in our ears.  The problem is there's variation.  Certain headphones like the NQ90 that's gonna come out soon and the K1000 do things to fix that, but normal headphones that don't do that can only do so much (Being open...

Actually, can you explain your processes in more detail?  There are certain parts of the process where checking with headphones would be just fine and actually encouraged.  Although, certain parts, it would definitely be preferable to have the headphone be neutral.  Sometimes, too, you'll also...

You're crazy. Actually, give me something you've mixed before and after using these.  I would LOVE to hear it.  And what did you use before these?

x2 is a /r/headphone meme, while the M100 isn't.

Wait, so the water syringe thing will probably work if I've softened it some?

Nope.  There are no velour pads for the M100.  They honestly wouldn't be very well suited for a portable headphone anyway, imo, since I'm pretty sure they compromise on isolation, and I'm not sure the M100 wouldn't be quite the bassy headphone if it had velours.

Alright, I'm getting sick of this. Because of these, all the earwax my ears have accumulated in the 4 months I've been able to listen to them at their full potential is compressed to the point using a water and syringe thing isn't working.  Because of this, for the past few months, I haven't...

With mastering, definitely use something closer to neutral.  A lot of mastering engineers say headphones suck for mixing and mastering, because they can rarely ever get to actual neutrality.  They only use headphone for a very specific part of the mastering process and speakers for the rest.

I have an ER-4, because I can't stand listening to music when someone's car is being louder than what I'm listening to.  I can't really make much of a remark on it, as background noise really disturbs my music time, but I think isolation is something you should consider before response curve in...

I know there are quite a few people who don't lead toward neutral, but I'm almost certain most people in this forum and in this hobby do.  I mean most as in majority.  More than half.  The M100 is a pretty coloured headphone, and I'd bet if you give it to a majority of people in this hobby who...

No, he specifically said they were for bassheads, as people who aren't bassheads will not like them.  They are good for that purpose.  They are great for that niche of the market, but people who vastly prefer more accurate headphones, like me, will not like how overpriced they are for what you...

Okay, think about how they did this "crowdsourcing".  I'm thinking they went to the street and got random people who know nothing about audio if that's really what caused them to tune them this way.  Most people who know something about audio will lean more toward a neutral response.  Have you...

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT!!!  YOU'LL GET BANNED!!! I personally think it has it's niche in the market. Everyone, look at Tyll's Crossfade Wireless review for a good idea of what the V-Moda headphones can do compared to other cans in the long run.

It's difficult to know exactly what he wants.  He's barely given us any information.
