    Need Help Identifying IEM's

    Hello everyone,   I recently received a pair of IEM's from a family member.   Just some background information, my family member works under Logitech to create custom mold's and designs for in ear monitors. When he gave me these as a gift, he said they were "generic casings," but had the...

    Q701 Left Driver Rattle/Buzz due to my own voice.

    This has been happening for the past week and a half roughly. I began to notice that the left driver began to lose some of it's impact and forward sounds compared to the right, I tried other headphones to make sure just wasn't the source but even using low-end headphones, I could hear that the...

    How to equalize your headphones: A Tutorial

    Okay, thank you for the information.   Another question.   When using Electri-Q as a VST on Foobar, do you load it together within foobar as you play the pink noise? Or separate (as an application) from Foobar, and then load it (depending on what EQ you achieved) to play audio through the...

    How to equalize your headphones: A Tutorial

    Hello,   I have a few questions regarding this tutorial.   When you start using sinegen, do you press the power button as a song is playing?   Also what settings do you put the level (-db) at? By default it opens at -15 and when played with a song, the volume of the song is unchanged...

    Schiit Modi USB DAC

    Well, after 3 different usb cables, a powered usb hub, and 2 different modis, I have finally resolved the issue with my audio dropping out.   If you have installed the USB 3.0 Extensible Drivers from Intel, go ahead and uninstall them. I'm not particularly sure as to why it causes the audio to...

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    Is it normal for your magni to make a small, very small, static/pop noise when you touch the knob?   I would like to assume this is simply static electricity from your body going into the magni and producing the sound.

    Schiit Modi USB DAC

    Unfortunately, I have encountered that very brief microstutter. Went back to make sure it wasn't just the song itself and confirmed. I have taken it out of the USB 3.0 Port on the motherboard and I have plugged it into the 2.0 port on my front panel. Sure looks ugly but... oh wow as I was typing...

    Schiit Modi USB DAC

    What kind of cable did you use? I purchased a mediabridge 2.0 gold plated one, pretty sturdy material from the looks of it and it's working flawlessly at the moment.   As of right now, the playback has been going without any sort of microstutter. It might have been an in-game glitch, but I...

    Schiit Modi USB DAC

    So I just got my modi. I noticed that there were often what I would call "microstutters," Where the audio would cut for about maybe... 1/4 of a second and that would be it. I went into my speaker properties and changed the format to 24/96 which helped reduce it since it happened quite frequently...

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    Just got these. I noticed that when my headphones are plugged in (Q701), and I turn on the amp, it makes a pop noise, mostly on the left driver.   After further searching, I believe this is known as the protective relay? What exactly does the PR do to generate a popping/thumping sound when...

    Questions about soldering.

    What could I practice on? Also, the solder I got is coiled up like a spring, can you bend this straight to make soldering easier?

    Questions about soldering.

    Quote: The k81's wires are a mono so i think i'll be able to follow it down like so. The one I bought isn't the one i'm going to use, I might use it on some spare headphones to practice. I am planning to order a Switchcraft 35HDNN to use for the plug.   Is soldering hard at all...

    Questions about soldering.

    So today at school my left speaker of my akg k81's went out. I thought it was the headphone jack of my ipod again and so i fiddled around with the connection to see if it was but when i plugged them in onto my phone and listened to music through there, i realized that the connector plug was...

    Need help deciding for a <90$ Headphone

    Yeah I called them back but they didn't answer. lol :facepalm:   It's about 75-80 on amazon for the dj100's. also are the superlux 668B any good for my kind of music? They're extremely cheap, going for about 40 bucks on greenflymusicsupply. Still open to more options.

    Need help deciding for a <90$ Headphone

    I'm not much of a basshead, in fact too much bass will just kill me (as would most people too i guess). I just want the bass that's there, noticeable and gives a nice impact to your ears but not too much.   I heard that the Dj100 pro is comparable to that of the m50s if im not correct.  ...
