    Driving with Headphones

    My car is loud due to a performance exhaust system.  Around the city I use my stereo (it is a nice component system, and the car is dynamatted).  On trips 2+ hours, I love using my IEM's.  It seems to make the time dissapear, and it is very nice to isolate my exhaust, and wind noise from my...

    [MOD] HifiMan RE-ZERO Balanced Plug removal + standard plug mod

    Thanks everyone.  I haven't heard anything about the RE-Zero's warranty being upgraded myself, but it wouldn't surprise me if Feng did that given the RE-0 have 12 months.  Either way though my warranty is gone :P   This mod has been great so far, it is great not to have to worry about the...

    [Review] Hifiman RE-Zero

    Quote: I just ordered a neutrik plug.  I hope the wires aren't enameled, but with how thin the cable it I am gonna assume they are.  I will post some pics of my progress and of hopefully a much more convenient and improved (for my purpose) set of headphones.

    [Review] Hifiman RE-Zero

    Has anyone tried soldering a normal plug on these phones?  My soft adapter is starting to give me a  crackling sound, and i hate the bulkiness of the hard plug.   I am a little scared to ruin my set, also I am curious if there is a plug that would work well with such a light weight cable....

    has anyone reterminated their Re-Zero's?

    I am a little curious if anyone has take the plunge?  The soft-adapter isn't bad, but I really wish these headphones had a normal plug.

    I am getting back into headfi and I bought a couple things tonight....

    Yeah, it is.  I am  thinking of building me a nice box for the amp when this summer college semester is over.  I still am anxiously waiting to put this together. Does that circuit look familiar to anyone here?
