    Nokia Lumia 920 sound quality?

    I think the Nokia 920s primary deficiency is audio volume.  It could be that it is a great but you can't really appreciate details if they are barely audible and you might say that it isn't as good.  I've seen previous posts and this seems to be a common complaint. Second, I think Nokia has...

    Nokia Lumia 920 sound quality?

    I got a 920 which was an upgrade from my HTC One X with Beats (sigh) audio.  Sadly, the 920 just doesn't even approach the sound quality of the older HTC--which can play great audio out of even the most mediocre of their downloadable players.  The 920s Dolby filter and other sound enhancements...

    Ok, Herr Germanguy, I'll ask.  How did you connect the gimbals to the housings? By the way, what was the effect on the sound of the wood knob you attached on the back of the magnet? I have never seen anyone do that before and I'd like your impressions on the sound before and after. By the...

    Thanks Uglyjoe and German Guy.  I bought the mesh and filters and I am now waiting for them to arrive.

    Grado modders go Magnum

    I'm just curious as I am really tempted to try it.  Has anybody here punched holes in their Magnum drivers? Has anyone also tried bluetac on the back of the driver? I'd really like to know the results if anybody has tried before.

    Quote:   I think wood glue would be a really good candidate.  It has been used musical instruments particularly cellos and Gibson guitars.  Sound transfer to the tonewood really works in both cases.  You don't get the same effect with bolted on components even with maximum contact between...

    Quote:   Be glad to.  I did say you could build this without the high-value items that have a minimal effect on the sound. Magnum X Drivers -- $ 130 Donor used SR60i --   $ 40 (not working) -- use gimbals, pads, headband, plastic cups and cable metal screens -  $ 2.00 If you have...

    Hi everyone, I was hesitant to post my mods since everyone else's headphones looks better. Here is mine.  This picture was taken by Brian from BTG Audio and you can see it in his product website. My headset started out as a really beat up pair of SR 225is on Ebay which I probably went overboard...

    LOL at all the Beats bashers........

    Quote:   So...a straight line is best?? By the way...I was talking about the 325is which has significantly more bass than a 325i, in my opinion.

    Hmmm...interesting. Tell me, since I'm more used to seeing graphs for profitability, what do those squiggly lines mean? Hehe...was I right in stating that some of those other headphones had more bass or do I need to equalize my ears? :)
