to describe the problem first. mic just makes a bunch of static sound now. If I unplug the audio interface and then plug it in the static is much quieter and then slowly ramps up. The volume of my speech does not ramp up though I have a Earthworks Ethos Condenser microphone plugged into a...

I want a good mic to use for my computer, but really haven't been able to find any good sources for analog to digital converters and i don't want a crappy usb mic.

I want a closed back headphone to pair with my Jotunheim that fits larger heads, and preferably coming with a balanced cable.sub $500 would be preferable; but i would probably go up to $800. I do like bass, but like, I don't need it to be super bass heavy. My current daily driver is a hifiman...

I currently have a HE-560 and UE reference monitors. I am using a Schiit Jotunheim to drive both. I think I'm looking for something a bit more detailed than the HE-560 without sacreficing the nice bass it has. I'm afraid any non planar is going to have me missing the planar bass, but if I go...

I have Ultimate Ears UERM; crud tends to accumlate in my smartphone ports, so I need something with a case that protects ports when they aren't in use.

So i'm going to be upgrading my PC soon, which will include a new motherboard and I'm wondering if i should be looking for features to improve audio performance when i already use an external DAC. Like are there some motherboards with higher quality spdif output or usb output?

Not sure if this is the most appropriate place for the thread, but i figures its starting to get into the high end at the $1,000 price point. I don't want anything too warm, so i'm shying away from the hifiman edition x or Focal Elear, not seeing many options in that price point other than maybe...

I want a high end IEM that is very analytical, detailed, and good imaging. Max budget is around $1,200. I have an O2 dac. I was thinking of Ultimate Ears: UERM, as i have heard they are quite good in what i'm looking for, but want to hear more opinions before i spend $1,000.

I recently bought a new Canare cable for my HE400s. Plugging them in, no sound is coming from my right can. Other then replugging it in a couple times i was wondering if there is any other troubleshooting i should do before requesting a replacement.

I am currently using a Audio Technica AT2020USB+ microphone. I am seeing noticeable mouse performance improvements by reducing the number of devices running on USB ports and want to try to get my microphone off if its USB port.

I recently ordered a Hifiman HE 400 and i currently am using a hot audio bit perfect dac. I am wondering if I would benefit from buying a separate amp, or if the bit perfect dac's built in amp should provide enough juice for the H 400.

I've had these Sennheiser 598's for 12 or 13 months, sound stopped coming out of the right ear today, being able to return them is not looking promising so i'm hoping to maybe open them up and find the problem and fix or repair whatever the problem is. Is that idea even feasible? Are there...

i want to invest in some quality headphones for my computer. I primarily use headphones for watching movies and gaming on my PC, while i'll occasionally listen to music across the spectrum. I dont have an amp right now, so the headphones should either be able to perform well without an amp or if...

i have a budget of around $300, but im not in a huge hurry, might try to get stuff on sale on like black friday and i want the best sound quality from headphones possible for my computer, i have nothing but my mobo's integrated sound right now and no amp. they do not need to be transportable, i...
