Quote: On that note, if you can find the rough size (width x height) of the base of your earphones, you can buy any pads that are roughly the same size. Earpads are made to stretch to begin with, (Even videos from the manufactures say to stretch beforehand) and with a little luck, you can...

Another quick question: Are these valour earpads, or some cheap knockoff? The description says "pleather" but I find that hard to believe.     

Quote: Thanks! Also, do you know how valour is for sound leakage and isolation? I work in an office and can't have my earphones blasting all over the place. 

I know that the Sennheiser HD280 pads work for the Sony MDR-V6, but just barely (and vice versa). You just have to stretch them a bit.  I just did this and I like the stock pads for 280's better after I put them on the V6.   BTW, what's the basic difference between Leather, Pleather, and...

Hello. I'm looking for some IEM in ear headphones that can break.    Why do I need them to break? Well, I don't WANT them to break, but they inevitably do, because I am rough with my earbuds. Right now I have a pair of Skullcandy earbuds that actually got the right side ripped off.   ...

Why do I need them to break? Because I am rough with my earbuds and I always seem to kill one side of the set. Right now I have a pair of Skullcandy earbuds that actually got the right side ripped off.    I'm looking for some very inexpensive (but not cheap, mind you) in-ear headphones /...

I think I've found a very simple, very nice program for Mac users that let them change the EQ on their whole system with just a few clicks, and also get down to fine tuning the audio.  The program's called "Hear".  Download   It's universal, and runs without needing to start up sound...

I just purchased a pair of MDR V6s as well as a pair of Sennheiser HD 280s.    I was looking at also buying an amp and thought that the FiiO E6 looked like a good deal. Should I even bother buying an amp for these headphones? They both already drive very easily, and I'm not sure how much...

Quote: Thumbs up to this idea. 

I did a quick search, and was surprised that I could not find a thread that offered Ideas for an Audio Text Mix, be it for Headphones, Speakers, or whatnot.    Here's a list of what I'd use as a test mix.   The Sound of Silence ~Simon & Garfunkel [start off with purity. everything...

Quote: ebay had a few used ones. 

Quote: I was looking at the m80s. They look pure awesome... and completely on the other end the 25's look kinda cheaply made. 

Just throwing this out there but:  What about going wireless? Perhaps something like THIS.   Never used something like that, but it could be promising. 

I'm a fairly new Hi-Fier and am starting to feel the need for higher quality sound. iTunes has a bunch of settings: AAC, AIFF, Lossless, & WAV settings with optional VBR as well as adjustable Stereo Bit Rates & Sample Rates.     I've read this, and skimmed over this. From the looks of it...
