    Ah-c351 sounds better than cx-400

    How much does the sound leakage and isolation differ between the AH-C351 and the AH-C551? Quoting Head-Room: "The C551K features a proprietary Denon 'Acoustic Optimizer' port vent that allows for a slightly more open-toned soundstage presentation versus standard in-ear canal headphone...

    Head-Direct RE2 sound leakage?

    The RE2 seems to be the perfect choice for me, but one unanswered question remains; how much sound do they leak?

    Strange noise with Auzentech Prelude!

    Strange noise with Auzentech Prelude!

    Quote: Originally Posted by infinitesymphony If you can, try moving the card to a different PCI slot; it may be picking up EMI from other components in the computer. Could you post the sample as a MP3? That will make it easier to decode in order to view the waveform. I have tried...

    Strange noise with Auzentech Prelude!

    This soundcard sounds really great, but after a while I noticed a slight noise coming from the right channel. It's only in right channel and only from Front Out. The noise is always present - even with all volumes turned all the way down. I have tried all obvious things, like changing the...

    My Yuin PK3 hurts! :((

    My Yuin PK3 hurts! :((

    No, I'm using it as a regular earphone. There is a part of the outer ear, that pushes against the upper part of the bud, no matter how i twist and turn it.

    My Yuin PK3 hurts! :((

    I guess my ears are unusually small - the design of the PK3 suggests a tighter fit than I'm able to get without pain. If I was able to slightly reduce the size of the upper end of the bud (with, let's say, a dremel) I might be able to snug it tighter into place - without any discomfort. My only...

    My Yuin PK3 hurts! :((

    After reading the endless praising of the yuin line I bought the PK3's. The sound is awsome - the fit is not. The upper end of the bud is pushing against my ear and starts hurting within seconds after insertion. If I push the bud into the ear the sound gets fuller, more defined and better in...

    How big is ATH-SJ5?

    Why does 99% of all product photos showing headphones without anyone wearing them? Sure - sound comes first, but looks and size is also important, especially when wearing them in public. I'm about to pull the trigger on the ATH-SJ5, but as I'm only able to find one (blurry) picture of someone...

    M-Audio Q40 Impressions (long w/pics)

    I'm so close to pull the trigger on these cans - you guys seems to have gathered all info I need, except how they actually looks in use. As I'm planning to use them both in the studio AND in the street, looks and size are important(to me anyway...). So if any of you owners would like to post...
