    Sennheiser RS160, 170 ,180... Anyone?

    Just tested it. Less delay than with a cell phone or VOIP type phone. Sorry I don't have a micro second number for you but sounds like anything less than a wired headphone is less than ideal. Just buy a set if they don't work out sell on eBay or here.   Quote:

    Quickie RS 160 review:   Purchased them from http://www.headphone.com/   B stock RS 160's.  These are the ones with the small base transmitter power by two AA's.  Glad I bought them wish I had gotten them sooner.  Finally a wireless headphone that I can audio edit [spoken word] content...

    Best Blackberry for sound quality, use with Pandora, weather and dust resistance & durability?

    Turns out I bought the Verizon Wireless Google Droid 3G phone a few days ago yes the best one. I have my Pandora One account on it now and there is choice between "High Quality" and "Normal" I'm still not sure what the bit rate difference is between the two or even what they are at this point...

    My ohm meter is an old school analog but I was taught to read them correctly in A & P school.......with that said I'm pretty certain they are 600 ohm. Quote: Originally Posted by lousymusician Thread's a bit stale, but... Are you sure you measured the resistance correctly? My 1991...

    Why does Shure offer 2 different lines of IEM's? Pro Audio vs. Personal Audio?

    I have worn the E2G for one year then lost a channel due to a cable issue at the 90 degree plug area and I'm currently running the SCL2 which is basically the same IEM in appearance and performance in SQ. I bought a used pair of SE210 to see if the design was more durable and SQ is better.....it...

    Wait on getting Sennheiser HD 580 or 600 just be happy with my ratty 19 year old 600 ohm HD 540 reference...?

    Just lost another bid an a NIB HD 580's that ended up going for $234.50 shipped on eBay. That is getting fairly close to HD 600 prices is it not? I'm basically a minimalist by nature I don't want the nice HD 600 box and I don't care that the 580 are a stripped down version of the 600's. I...

    Used Total Airhead Amp is making friction hash type noise when volume is turned up or down?

    I bought it off eBay and the amp sounds fine but a fair amount of hash is audible when the volume wheel is turned. In fact...if turned quickly it will clip the amp? In the past I have had good results using WD-40 on the fuzzy potentiometers but before I do that.... I wanted to ask what would...
