long story short I was going to clean hair off of some used hd580s I bought after having my HD600's die and the Membrane got damaged on the left side and somehow the right side became distorted because the foam in the spider cage disintegrated and one thing (one thing) led to another and here I...

I would appreciate some help here. For many years, I’ve connected my iPhone to my HDVD800 through the camera connection kit to a USB B. For the past few days, my phone has stopped recognizing the amp. I replaced the camera connection kit, but to no avail. I’m thinking maybe it’s a software...

Hello. Today I put my Arya's down to go get some water, and when I put them back on my head, the right channel was no longer playing. After some trial and error I discovered that the cable is fine, the driver is fine, the amp and dac are fine, but the jack seems to be damaged. If I only plug the...

First post - sorry if this is in the wrong place! I know absolutely nothing about music/sound/audio, but I'm looking to buy some headphones as a birthday gift for my partner, he mentioned liking the dt990s at one point so I was going to get those. They would be used for recording and mixing...

I recently found these Hitachi branded Over-Ear Headphones (Images in this Imgur Link) in a nearby Junk yard. I tried to find some info about it online but i couldn't find anything other than the companys other headphones. I tried them with my phone (a Samsung A50). The left speaker wasn't...

Hi everyone, I've got the following audio chain playing on my secondary (bedside) system and it makes a loud pop each time playback starts or stops. I'm trying to diagnose it and would appreciate help. Questions are: (1) any guesses how to stop the issue, and (2) is this likely to damage my...

Good morning, My name is M3rovingio and I am new here, posting. Been reading these forums for quite a long time. I am a bit baffled and find myself lost so I will explain why I wish a piece of advice: I own since 6 years ago a Beyerdynamic DT880 250ohm and an Audioengine D1, I use this for...

I have a budget of around 200 dollars and I need an IEM that is capable of good noise cancellation and is wireless. I have no idea what to buy.

Hey people, first off all, here's my Xduoo TA-26 with the tubes I rolled: I've been using and tube rolling this amp for a while and I've settled on the Tung-Sol 6SN7GTB and the RCA 6080. The 6080 was the only more or less recommended power tube I could get in my area and I don't plan to get...

Hi there, So, I'm looking to have some ear impressions made for maybe custom IEM tips or whatnot, but the problem is that there are no profecional shops where I can have impressions made in my near vicinity so I'm pretty much left with DIYing it. To get to the point, does anyone know where I...

Hi! I was listening to music when I decided to do some A/B testing between my Aune X1S and an onboard soundcard. I was truly shocked as how much of a difference there was actually, the Aune being much brighter and having a lot of (I think) ringing in the upper range of the frequency spectrum, so...

Hello, this is my first post here but I just recently had the joint on my Blue Sadie headphones pop out. There's what appears to be thee screws, but the tops are covered by the joint piece itself so I cant seem to screw them back in. Any help would be very appreciated, thank you.

Can anyone who owns a pair of sony mdr 7506 also own a gaussmeter(or some sort of device to detect magnetic fields) measure the strength of the magnetic field at the ear cups of the headphones? Thanks

Hello Head-Fi'ers, i am thinking about getting a Topping A90 for my RME ADI-2 DAC FS and maybe 1-2 other DACs (Denafrips ARES II and Topping D90SE) to use with this AMP. Since i don't want to switch the XLR cables, i need something like an XLR switch. I could get the Topping Pre90 with...

This is my first post (after introduction) on head-fi. If I have made some mistakes, please bear with me. I have a Sennheiser HD600 which I use with DAC/Amp Fiio EK10. While this setup works great when I'm using it to listen to music on my laptop or watching movies. I was wondering if there is...

Left the site a bit, came back after the update needing to buy a DAC from the selling section here, yet being a long time user here with multiple selling and buying experiences I am told that I don't have sufficient privileges to comment in those. What does this mean? I know there is like this...

Hoping y’all can help me troubleshoot. There is a fairly noisy background when I listen to music from my chord tt2. If I put my hand on the dac/amp, the noise goes away, which indicates to me maybe some sort of grounding weirdness? It is plugged directly into the wall. What should I try to...

Looking for a closed back recommendation around 300$-500$ which will be powered by a Schiit modi/magni stack. I already have a HD6xx but need a closed back pair for when it gets loud in my house. Currently eyeing up a Shure SRH1540 or Denon AH-D5200, any thoughts? I'd prefer a sound signature...

Hi everyone, I'm starting this tread in look for some help and advice regarding a pair of earphones I just got. I'm new to this forum, this is actually my first post ever on a forum :laughing:, my knowledge about audio is quite limited and it's my first time "getting in touch" with the hifi...

Hello and thanks for taking a look at my help request. I am looking to buy some new open-backed headphones around the $500 price bracket. However, it seems I'll have to make a purchase without trying the headphones because of the place where I live. The few stores with anything related to...

Hello everyone! super excited to be on here I just aquired a pair of hd800s recently and am loving them! Whats your guys favorite headphones?

So, i've had a pair of HD 650's for a coupe of years now and for the past couple of moths they have developed an odd fault. Every now and then the right cup will cut out for a few seconds. it appears to be when i move around in the chair, e.g. sitting upright from reclined etc. I have replaced...

Recently testing a just purchased Monolith Liquid Spark amp's pre-out by plugging into a Sabaj A4 Aux in, but getting no sound. The source is a record player, which when connected directly to the Sabaj Aux In works fine. I've tried unplugging headphones while powered on, and resetting the power...
