    Worst Headphone ever

    Senn MX500. The stupid inline volume control completely distorted the sound. Had to hack apart the cable to bypass the stupid thing.

    Portable Headphone Cable...

    yah, i snapped the cord in half, and now it is too short to be usable. I would love to upgrade the cord, but it seems nothing is available for portable use.

    Portable Headphone Cable...

    Hi, I searched and haven't found much... I need to re-wire a pair of Koss PortaPro's and Senn MX500's. I need a cable that is flexible and very thin, for portable use, much like the IPod headphone or Sony 888 cable. Any idea where I could purchase this stuff? I alread have some nice...

    They look a bit like EX70's... Quote: These closed-type earphones offer exceptional sound and a comfortable fit. Sleek, stylish design makes these earphones the perfect companion to your MP3 or other device.

    Pics of my MX500 mods...

    Quote: so, what level does the 1000% improvement leave the mx500 at... Orpheus? RS-1? Well, it was a 1000% improvement over stock MX500s with volume control. IMO, they were awful with volume control, completely unlistenable. Cheap Dell headphones sounded better.

    Yah, when i ordered them i thought the volume control would be a nice feature. Didn't work for me at all. Not even close.

    Just some simple stuff. Removing the stupid volume control improved the sound 1000%, much better now. Added a gold mini-plug, just for some bling...

    MX-500 Volume Control Issues

    Hi, I just purchased a pair of MX500s, with inline volume control. I can't get these things to sound right. The volume control distorts the sound very much. Vocals will drop out, or instruments will become more apparent. Sounds normal with the volume control on min, but not nearly loud...

    Resistors. Carbon Film vs. Metal Film

    Concerning the Waarde tube amp. I can't seem to find the correct values for R3,R4,R8, & R9. The parts lists says to get Carbon Film resistors. Is it ok to use Metal Film? I have no problem finding metal film. What effect will this have? What is the difference? 1 Watt Carbon Films are not...

    why did i get shcoked?

    I unplugged my tube amp today, took it apart, and touched one of the sockets by mistake. I was 'mildly' shocked. It was kind of a scary event. Anyway, how can this happen if the amp is unplugged? Do the components store electricity some how? How do i drain a circuit? Thanks
