I found this eBay seller selling them at $70 incl free int'l shipping...he also offers Make Offer option so probably can get them around $60 which seems like a real bargain.  My question is if there are fakes of these floating around and how can I make sure I get genuine ones.  I need a seller...

I accidentally cut in 2 places the plastic insulation of the right side wire of my earphones on the (sharpish) metal legs of my laptop tray/stand.  These cuts are all the way through the insulation (separation) but the wire seems ok and the sound is still working.  Is there a way of fixing this...

I am obsessed finding this track. Shazam could not help. Maybe you know it?   Starts from 48"....."....we are children of the midnight sun"   Btw nice set and free download!   https://soundcloud.com/nightmares-on-wax/ku-de-ta-bali-sunset-pt1

saw these phones on a professional ultra distance runner....so I guess they might be quite good for running. Thanks.  

I always wondered if it makes any sense to use high bitrates for older recordings from, say the 30s/40s, which obviously are pretty poor quality.  What bitrates would you use for those CDs if you wanted to save on file size?    Taking this one step further when would you say high quality...

So I dropped my nano. The top side/panel, where to on/off slider sits, is still in place at both ends but in the middle it is now bending upwards and sticking out of the main body. I tried to push it back in but it always pops up again. I thought about glueing it but the gap is too small to get...

I need a very basic easy to use editor for trimming/cutting video files (avi/mp4/flv/etc).  Free would be nice and without intrusive watermarks plastered in the centre of the screen.  Windows 7. Thanks.

I have been using some web based services for this in the past but am wondering if there are better off line apps available for this.  I understand that youTube extraction is offering a very minimal sound quality (guess 128kbps or worse), but there is some really good Live music on there which I...

An intellectual/musical dissection of Burial's Ouvre....I'd take it with a pinch of salt...interesting and entertaining nonetheless:   http://soundcloud.com/rouges-foam/rouges-foam-the-premature  

For the first time ever I today ripped a CD to FLAC in Foobar2000 (had AccurateRip enabled)...the result seems to play fine but on ripping a window came up saying something like "minor error with offset 103 (90)" on every track.   I did some searching on AccurateRip but still do not quite...

So I watched some youTube vids on how to replace foam surrounds and started to look around to buy them (eBay and simplyspeakers). Seems the size is non standard (angled 71mm). I contacted the maker of the speakers and they informed me that they stopped making these speakers 8 years ago. Any...

My 2005 Apple iBook died last week and I am about to buy a PC laptop (probably Acer AS5750 with Win7 64bit) in the next few days.    I need a very basic mp3 editor/trimmer.  It needs to have fading.   Any other advice for a Apple to PC switcher re: software in general would be very much...

Quite a fun test, takes about 20 minutes and you will participate in a worldwide study about musicality.   Note: I skipped the first test, where one has to group sound clips into 4 genres, as I thought that there was something faulty with the sound files (they only played for less than...

http://5-against-4.blogspot.com/2010/11/bjork-breezeblock-special-26102004_21.html   I am not her biggest fan but these are really interesting, especially the "Mixing It" interview where she talks about her musical development.  I love her accent, her Rs are great!   Enjoy.

I am trying to find out who's version this one is....the one with the female backup singers as in this sound sample:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_River     cheers.

I recently got the C710 as a replacement for my dead C700.  The cable on the C710, as has been mentioned many times already is quite flimsy which I do not mind as long as it's working.  However what I do mind is the fact that the left/right split is very low (around my belly button and I am...

I have some AAC files @128bits which (due to the recent purchase of a Sansa Clip+) I need to convert to mp3. I do no longer have available some of the CDs for re-ripping. As I always understood it, AAC gives a higher sound quality at the same bit rate compared to mp3, so AAC@128bits is about...

I got the M6 today and took them out for a quick run. They fit great for sports, the clip/chin slider and of course the over the ear design with metal hooks work great! Soundwise it's ok so far but I guess they need some burn in. My only concern at this point is that there is no filter or...

I have a Sansa Clip+ 8GB (inlc Denon C710 phones) coming my way next week and was wondering how to use it with my Mac/iTunes. I currently have an 8GB iPod and use iTunes with its smart playlists to cycle through my 30GB music library. I understand that the Clip will not be recognised by...

I would like to buy some audio related stuff from them. Are they reliable and trustworthy? Thanks.

My C700 which I have enjoyed for the last 3 years (thanks HeadFi!) died three weeks ago, so naturally I am drawn to the 710 but I found very little info wrt their fit and size (I guess as no one is complaining that this is not an issue). On pics they seem quite a bit bulkier than my C700 but...

They are all around $100. Doesn't make much sense for the 551 as this is supposedly a lower quality phone or am I missing something?

I know IE8 have detachable cable and 3-level adjustable bass (both of which I do not nessarily need). I also read that IE7 is more neutral sounding and IE8 has more bass (even on the lowest setting). I thought I was getting the IE7 but if I can find a 2nd hand IE8 I could afford those too. I...

I am just wondering...where is the best place to be in a large arena type setting. Obviously for best views you want to be quite close but for best sound I thought near the sound/lighting control desks...if it's good enough for those guys to be in that position then it certainly is for me. In an...

I've had the Denon C700 for about 15 months and I am now ready to upgrade to something better with a warm sound signature, great bass, good soundstage and decent isolation. I also need the phones not to stick out to much from my ears so I can sleep with them with my head on its side (which was...
