I'd like to buy her a pair as a gift, but I haven't been on Head-Fi in a while so I'm not familiar with some of the newer headphones that's been out. I didn't find much success on searching option either, so I need your help. She's a typical mainstream listener, a lot of k-pop music on her...

I have a pair of studio version which I found out its foam discs that cover the drivers (not the earpads) on both sides weren't attached to the drivers at all. Basically the only thing that secured them in place were the earpads themselves. When I took out the earpad the foam just came right...

Trying to find some new pads for the K240M I'm wondering if the ones designed for K240S and MKII fit on the Monitor version. Thanks.

I thought after Logitech bought UE they shortened the warranty period to 1 year. I just checked the Logitech website and apparently it's back to 2 years?   http://www.logitech.com/en-us/ue/ue-earphones/devices/8657#section=specsAndGuides

A lot of us head-fiers are desktop oriented, which means 10 ft cables are really unnecessary. Not to mention there are good number of people who use studio monitors for portable use (M50, V6, Shure SRH's, etc.). The only headphone I've owned which had this design was Denon D1001, which I really...

..why do they sound so unnatural? It's as if they purposely alter their voice (or accent if you will) in a way so that it sounds NOTHING like how people talk in real life. Original Japanese voice actors sound very fluent and realistic, so I'm assuming this isn't some sort of anime tradition of...

I don't have an air conditioner at home, so I usually have this big fan next to me when I'm on the computer. I was wondering if this would harm the open grills in any way. Probably not a big deal, but I figure precaution wouldn't hurt. The fan is about 5 feet away and is on full speed.

I'm talking about the term we use to describe our amp's volume knob adjustments. Turning up to 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 2 o'clock, you get the idea. Well I've recently seen people say they turn it up to 9:15, 10:45 as if their amps have a second hand like an actual clock or something. I thought...

Apparently one of the new models running for about $50. Anyone own a pair to share some impressions? These are beautiful..

Which condition would you prefer buying? Are there any advantages one way or the other?

I found a place that still has these at great price. I find their old designs pretty intriguing. Thinking about buying them just for collectible purpose..but are they worth it? Also I'm not really worried about how they sound, but do these compare to today's entry level headphones?

I tried searching, but the more I read, more confusing I get. Is there a certain formula using impedance and sensitivity to figure out how loud the headphones are? For example:   Denon D1001 = 32 ohm, 130dB/mW Denon D2000 = 25 ohm, 106dB/mW Sennheiser HD595 = 50 ohm, 112dB/V   My...

I'm assuming it's a famous piece since I've heard it lots of times, but never got to know what it's called.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-951k59xMV0#t=10m40s

Regarding the song Reckoner from the album In Rainbows. Do you hear the guitar in the first 10 seconds of the song? Just wondering if it's just me hearing things, thanks.

Nothing groundbreaking here, but I'm hoping someone could fix this issue for me. I tried searching the forum but couldn't find any useful information.   Here's my issue: replaygain doesn't seem to set up the volumes evenly. For example, without the replaygain, music with heavy dynamics such...

Sometimes I'm few feet away from my keyboard when listening to music, so I was wondering if there is some sort of remote control I can use for audio playback for foobar2000. Is there such thing? I just need basic functions like pause, play, previous, next, etc.

I've been using D2000 in this scorching weather recently, so a lot of sweat got into the pads. I decided to clean off the sweat by putting water on paper towels and kind of just wiped it off. Well today I've noticed the pads make a squeaky noise when I shake my head a little. It just doesn't...

Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child has 2182 likes and 19 dislikes, which means there are less than 1% who actually dislike the song. Exact percentage seems to be around 0.87%.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoAXW30mMAg   Can you find a better rated song?

My main complaint is that iems are nowhere near the performance of full-size cans. In terms of comparing to the live sound it doesn't come close. To make the matters worse, earphones are generally for portable use. The background noise in NYC is just too much for any iems to handle..no matter...

I don't really know much about computers so I'm a little hesitant about trying to fix it by myself. My hard drive crashed few months ago so I took it to get it fixed. Now every once in a while I get a blue screen while using a dac, linksys adapter, or any device through usb input. It seems it...

say I burn a CD using audio CD format using mp3 files. is it possible to rip flac files using that CD? technically it seems possible but is it really flac quality and not the lossy format I used to burn with?

afaik all open headphones have same amount of sound leakage, but I've never tried a semi-open before. I want to know if this semi design reduces sound leakage at all compared to full open design (don't really care for isolation). can DT880 owners help me by comparing with other open cans...

This seems to be a common problem but I'm curious to find out just how common it is among the owners. I personally don't mind this too much, but with critical listening it is definitely noticeable. What about the rest of you?

Got few hundreds worth of Amazon gift cards and wondering if there are any decent amps on there. I see few amps that I recognize but none of them seem to be well-regarded in here. Can anyone recommend an amp from Amazon? I'd be pairing with uDac for cans like D2000, SR125, HD595, etc. D2000 is...
