They've stopped playing music on the left side.  I emailed Fischer Audio but didn't get any response; my local shop couldn't repair them.  Any ideas where to go to get them fixed?

Looking for a really cheap pair of earbuds to use with my iPod.  I'm just going to keep them in my jacked pocket for those moments when I can't use my big headphones.  Basically the least ****ty of the ****ty earbuds.  If it matters, I listen to classic and alternative rock, and hip-hop.

I'm reading that the 25 might sound a bit flat coming straight out of an iPod?  Is that true?  Are there headphones designed specifically to just come out of an iPod?   Also it seems like it's between the HD25's and the ATH-M50.  Could anyone compare and contrast those two?

I'm looking for a pair of closed back headphones to use on my way to work.  Some important things to mention:   -I take the subway/bus so it's VERY important that the headphones isolate outside noise and also aren't too loud for those around me. -I will be using them with my iPod WITHOUT an...

Ideally the input would be RCA, with an RCA output to speakers when I didn't want to use it.  Then it would also have a big headphone jack.

I have a setup for my 650s that I love, but it's big and in my bedroom.  I'd love to add a small tiny cheap amp to my setup in the living room to be able to use my 650's when I want them there.   What would you suggest?  Certainly nothing over $75.  Right now it goes iPod/turntable > phono...

Can anyone suggest an amp for the AV40s?  Or would it not provide anything whatsover?

Also out of curiosity, if I went up to $200, are there any speaker amps that are much better than the ones you've mentioned?
