    Re-Cable ATH-A500 - pinout help

    The earcups and cable for my A500s have been torn up pretty badly over the years, so I figured I might as well do everything over.   However, I'm a bit confused upon opening them up.  This is a single entry style, this is the inside of the left earcup (click for big). The black jacketed...

    Best cans for POWERFUL and RATTLING bass?

    I'm still planning my headphone pathway, but I just realized that the SA5000s won't have impactful and powerful bass, the kind of bass that I like when watching movies or sometimes playing games. So, I'll use the SA5000s for music, but I need a complementary pair of cans for games/movies. Which...

    Name some GREAT Closed Back Headphones, like Denon D7000.

    I am really liking my D7000 for private listening.  What else is as GREAT or better out there?  It seems like most "top of the line" models from makers are Open back design.
