IEMs are out of the question - i'm one of those that get irritated more than usual by foreign objects in my body. Over ears only plz...   Also, 60$ budget is acceptable.

I work CNC embroidering machine and that means rattle of ~85-90db most of my work day. My HD448's are useless at keeping noise out, my supertight HD1500's are dead so, need replacement.   Need something to lessen noise and play some music via Samsung Galaxy S2. Good oldfashioned isolation is...

I dig KSC75 more because they're clip-on, no arch. Then again no idea how those would feel.   Any other good clip-ons on the menu ?

The other day i tried to listen to some stuff in bed and found any sets i have uncomfortable due to  size/fit/grip etc...   So, brilliant idea - ask Head-Fi :D   Need some very small on/over ear headphones that are comfortable in bed. Pillow friendly so to speak. I wonder if something...

Sorry for delay.   Got 250ml bottle of DCM (Dichloromethane). The stuff is amazingy good at sticking plexiglass (welding actually). Apparently, you can get DCM on ebay in UK.   Today was cutting bits off, sanding/polishing and sticking them together just for fun. Also finishing...

Ok, got some tools that i've been lacking for small things like this. A dremel (model 300), rotating table mini vice (50mm jaw), some other bits and pieces. Vernier caliper, one thing i lacked in precise sizing of things, drawings made using good ol' ruler...   Stocked up on old...

Well, the two thick wires are the most resembling antennae from all the parts i've seen come out of housings. However, the 2 wires connecting both sides of headphone and electronics (one board on each ear) are a separate braid (twist) over the power and two speaker wires (+/-).   Will post...

I don't think it transmits anything back. There is no point to. Should be a passive receiver, like a radio, methinks. Doesn't DD/DTS have some sort of error correction in the transmission already ? Plus, transmission is digital, not just FM. Upon reaching transmission limit (too long...

According to http://www.dealersupport.se/imagebank/pdf/1233.pdf 863.3 to 864.5 mhz.   No idea why there are two antennae, however the stupidest thing in design of placement was to insert one of them into one of the earphones housing, which flexes. It probably broke within months, because...

Done some preliminary CAD work for housing.   General diagram and board dawings (still missing correct thinckness, dont have vernier caliper to measure(its in a post somewhere now))     ...And housing versions exploration. May try to 3D it later to see how it looks...    ...

Bye bye my lovely Philips HD1505. It's been fun for three years. Day in, day out, sometimes all day long... etc... Broke completely due to heavy use and pretty crap build quality. Didn't hold long term...   Here's my first impressions three years ago...

Looking to get a fix for choral / organ music.   At the moment i'm listening to Eric Witacre stuff, but would like to expand on whats good on choral front of music. Particular interest is male chorus. My late grandfather sang bass in a male chorus, i remember the impressions i had as a...

Eric Whitacre stuff. Need a good choral fix.

Anyone know of any good compilation of quality thunderstorm recordings ? Not just samples, but a long recording of a good storm. I'd really like to get my hands on some binaural recordings of that if something like that exists...

Right. Not sure where to start and where to put this question, so it goes straight into "Headphones fullsize" section. I've been using wireless digital headphones for the last two years and "wireless" bit kind of grew on me (Philips SBC-HD1500u). Now that the phones themselves started to...
