Play 0.3 on G4 Mac OS X....Sounds much better than iTunes.

They probably sound awful with music, but I have noticed in most movies or TV shows, the same headphones used for any helicopter pilots that may be depicted....They have a certain shape to the outside cups....rather large, plain looking and rounded.....Does anyone know the particular make and...

PC USB ports are designed to handle a certain number of inserts and releases from a USB jack.....If you have disconnected from that port tons of times, you may have a worn out PC USB port.

AKG K340s here....   Still have the receipt...bought them on November 26th, 1986 new at Pro-Com for $170 US, a dealer that dealt with professional audio equipment. Pro-Com is still there in Pittsburgh

I HOPE it was a Beiber joke.....If your really that into him, you would need to change something else before changing headphones ;) ;) ;)

OK, sorry about that....Wish thread starters could delete threads here.....As it is, you can only edit the body of a posting, not delete an entire posting. Anyway, it;s an interesting video

You-Tube has a TV show series video that shows how headphones are made, featuring the AKG K702s..... (I mistakenly said they were the 701s in the thread title, but can not edit the title....) Surprisingly simple really.... basically a copper coil vibrating a plastic sheet.... Video is at....  ...
