Hey everyone, I've been noticing lately that when I have my AD700's plugged into my amp, using the 1/4" adapter that came with the headphones, I will sometimes lose the right channel completely, and have to spin the plug in the jack / tug on it a little bit to get the sound to come back...

Hey all - Haven't posted in a while, been busy and content with my setup as it is currently, but after a trip to a relative's house today, who happens to have tons of headphones and amps and DACs and everything, and after listening to his system, I felt like I wanted a little upgrade in the...

Hey everyone - Haven't posted in ages, been pretty content with the lower-budget system I have working, picked up a StyleAudio Emerald DAC from Whiplash Audio and love it. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD-280's and they have recently broken! They were in a bag in the back of my car and kind...

First thing I'm going to say about these things is that they're most definitely pink! I love it though, it's got a little style, a little sass. Next thing I'm going to say is that off the bat, as soon as I listened to them, they sounded a heck of a lot muddier than the AKG-K701's I had been...

Are these two iPods going to deliver the same sound if I use the same cable out of both? The issue is lossless music taking up tons of space and my iPod Touch = 16GB, vs. 60GB on the 5G. Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has any pictures or stories about headphones that they made from scratch (or as close as you can come to scratch)? I think it would be a fun project for anyone interested in getting into electricity and circuitry. I'm thinking about making a little pair myself. I...

I finally just bought a freaking pair of headphones and got it over with. The amount of time I spend on these forums reading around for the right pair of headphones is ridiculous! I spent the $84 (w/ shipping) on Amazon on a new pair of ATH-AD700's, because I hear they have a great...

I think I've decided on purchasing the AD700's after reading some reviews about their sound compared to other headphones, and I was just wondering, because I saw on the "Headphone Buyers Guide" thread that they don't necc. need an amp to drive them: Will I still hear a difference between...

In the market for a new headphone, still, and I find myself wanting some "deeper" sound than what I'm hearing now with the K701's, but only the slightest bit deeper and I'll be happy. More importantly, since I'm borrowing these 701's and don't want to spend that much money on headphones just...

Well, as you might have figured, I'm just wondering if a Starving Student MiniMillett Tube Amp will be enough power to get HD-600's going? If you're wondering exactly what build I have, I have the one off of Whiplash Audio Dynamics: Mini Millet DIY Tube Amplifier Thanks!

Just wondering if someone could give me a little insight, a quick technical explanation, of what EQ-ing does to an audio signal. I understand that it manipulates specific "channels" of audio, but what does it do to them? Also, how much distortion comes with EQ-ing something? Thanks!

Just curious and bored, How about 5 words or less on what Truth is: Subjective, even in the past.

Hey - I have a little ol' Macbook and was just wondering if there would be anything special I would need to get appropriate sounding sound out of my computer? I have a headphone amp, I have "nice" headphones, and I could get a USB->Amp cord easily, but will the fact that my Macbook is...

Hey - I'm just getting into this high-end audio listening, and right now I only have one pair of headphones, HD280 Pro's. I'm borrowing a pair of K701's, and after listening to them, I don't know if I can ever go back to a closed set of headphones again because of the incredible soundstage and...

I was just listening to some music last night, and I haven't put many hours into my new little audio system yet (iPod Touch + Starving Student MiniMillett + HD280 Pro's / AKG K701's) and when I listen to lossless stuff everything seems to have a lot more reverb than I ever remember to it. Is...

I'm currently sporting some HD-280s and just bought myself a headphone amplifier (It's a Starving Student MiniMillett) and have been told that I should probably get better headphones to really get a feel for the amplifier and the difference in music. Now I've been researching the HD650, and...

Hey everyone - I'm just getting into this audio scene lightly, because I got to listen to some music with some top-end gear and it blew my mind. I'm not going to go crazy and spend tons of $$ on audio equipment, but I realize that my current setup of headphones alone won't cut it. The...
