Comfortable on-ears w/ glasses - do they exist?
I'm in a lot of video calls and meetings from home now. My headphones are all full-size (see sig), and all are a bit distracting when I need to wear them. On longer calls, they also start to make my head hot - even the HD6XX. So I'm wondering if there are some on-ear options that are comfortable...- teofilrocks

HD650 sound but bigger soundstage?
I haven't had my HD650s for long, and I'm enjoying the sound so far. The tame treble is letting me listen to music until the headband gets tiresome, rather than until my ears start getting tired. However, I'm curious if there's a phone with similar sound characteristics that also had a bigger...- teofilrocks

Sampling, quantization, aliasing, and dither: Do I have it right?
I've been reading a bit about the sampling theorem, but there's only one way to know if I've got it right in my head, and that's by asking. As I understand it currently, digital audio sampling goes something like this: The Nyquist rate is used to maintain at least two sampling values at the...- teofilrocks

Dual-entry cable w/ inline remote
I'm having a hard time finding a dual-entry cable with inline remote. It's a nice option to have for me on those occasions when I'm not plugged into an amp, but the main replacement cables that include a remote are single-entry (Denon, V-Moda, etc). Any ideas?- teofilrocks

My HE-400 wants a closed back little brother. I told him no, but he insists.
I must say I'm completely pleased with the sound signature of the HE-400s. Dare I say... I'm content! But I need a closed-back alternative for when open cans are just a bad idea. I'm leaning towards the Fostex t50rp and following the mod guide (seriously, what better way to spend $100?). But...- teofilrocks

Recable with inline iPhone/iPod control? Pics?
I've never liked the Apple 'buds' and liked the in-ear version even less (don't like putting things inside my ears), but man I miss the inline remote for volume/track/pause control. I would love to add such a feature to my recabled PortaPros to make them truly enjoyable as portable phones. Has...- teofilrocks

DT770 600Ω - where's the bass??
You're probably thinking "it's 600Ω, idiot, you need a good headphone amp." Well, those are both very good points (I am an idiot, and I do need a good amp). I have a Chinese tube headphone amp, completely entry level. Running 2-E88CCs and a 12AT7, it drives my 250Ω DT990 PROs great, bass thumps...- teofilrocks

Decisions - amp+dac: Little Dot / Audio-gd / iBasso
Looking to upgrade my Phenix tube amp and also get a DAC so I don't have to rely on my Mac's sound card. I currently have the DT990 PRO (250Ω) and also an older DT770 PRO (600Ω). So I need something that can power both properly. The Little Dot DAC_I + MKIII looks like a beautiful combo. The...- teofilrocks

Enjoying my DT990 PRO 250Ω, need closed back alternative
I've had the 990s for a few months now and really like them. But sometimes at work I'd prefer not to let my music our or others music in, so I'd like to find a pair of closed back phones that are at least on par with these. I should mention that I have a pair of DT770 PRO 600Ω (the pre-2000s...- teofilrocks

Tips for driving 600Ω on-the-go
A friend gave me a old pair of DT770 PRO 600Ω cans. My other HPs are open-back so I never travel with those. But now that I got these (and for free!), I'm wondering how I could possibly drive these with a little portable amp. I've looked into cMoys, Mini3, PIMETA, etc. Has anyone actually used...- teofilrocks
