I moved offices a while back. I carefully packed it back in the original box and took it to the new office building. When I plugged it back in and tried it again, something had shifted. It registers as an audio output device, but when I play music... it doesn't play. Instead, the progress bar...

I have contemplated replacing the Pi with a cubietruck.

I found a second hand pair of mad dogs I was able to audition. The sound, to my ears anyway, was a bit better than the SRH750DJ. It didn't blow me away, but it was better. The comfort and construction were miles better. I bought them. :-)

I'm debating a set of Fostex T50RP, or a modded variant, but I want to know how durable they are.  My last set of cans had structural problems, suffering 2 breaks over 3 years just from every-day use--not good for $170 headphones.   So, have you, dear T50RP owner, had yours break?  If so, what...

Wow, what a monster I created... Looking forward to my next round of reactions when I add a new DAC into the mix. Hopefully, I'll be able to decide on some new headphones soon...

I'm already using Volumio on a Raspberry Pi Model B.  So far, I have no complaints except the missing support for exfat.

Volumio is great.  I'm using it daily.  Currently, this is just a connection to a Creative USB Soundblaster MP3+, but that will change when the Geek Out ships.   It sounds like the Raspberry Pi is limited to 24/96kHz over USB DAC.  I'm considering a Cubie (SATA for storage!) or a Beaglebone...

The more I hear/read the more the Mad Dog sounds like the right set of headphones for me, with the possibility of upgrading to the Alpha Dog later on.  The problem I have now is that the last set I bought was not particularly comfortable and had some build quality issues.  While everything I...

I'm more and more drawn to the MrSpeakers Mad Dog.  I've heard that there are some competing Fostex T50RP mods, but MrSpeakers seems to be the most available and there's the Alpha Dog upgrade option.  I really need to find someone in Cambridge/London who will let me try their Mad Dogs once my...

@billybob_jcv, there's a lot of good suggestions there.  I'm going to have to go through each of them.  Except the SRH940.  I'm not interested in anything with the same construction as the SRH750DJ.   Any thoughts on MrSpeakers Mad Dogs?

Full disclosure: I tried posting this question once already, though a bit differently and got no replies.   I have been frustrated for some time with my SRH750DJ.  There are a few things I don't like:  They squeak when I put them on, take them off, or adjust them.  They are not particularly...

I realise I didn't specify.  They should be Circumaural cans (around ear).

The upgrade bug bit me over Christmas.  I preordered a USB DAC with balanced outputs.  My existing headphones won't either support that or do it justice.   So, my requirements: Balanced, or easy to re-cable for balanced.   Circumaural configuration Detachable cable (this ties into...

I have a pair of SRH750DJ, which aren't quite good enough for the 8.5 hour flight I'll be taking at the end of the week.  I know this because they weren't enough when I took an 8-hour flight at the beginning of the week.  I've also tried SRH440's and found the noise cancellation to be only on...

Active noise cancelling would be best as the passive noise cancelling from circumaural headphones is generally pretty weak.

I need a recommendation for a set of noise cancelling headphones for about $100.  They need to be circumaural.  What is my best bet for that price range?  Does being in London make a difference?   Thanks

My dad is hard of hearing.  It's a neural degenerative condition and it gets steadily worse.  He hasn't been able to listen to and appreciate music in about 20 years because one ear is deteriorating more than the other.  I'm not just an audio nerd, I'm also an electronics nerd.  I went out and...

I guess that answers that!

I just got a Sansa Fuze+ for Christmas, and I'm wondering about what kind of difference rockboxing it would make.  Will it make a significant difference to sound quality?  I also wanted to know what the rockbox user interface is like.  Will the Fuze+ still be able to use the voice recorder...

My only problem with comfort was how hard they squeezed my head.  I hear that this comes down to personal preference.  They have been getting better over the two weeks I've owned them.  I used them at work for a whole 8 hours yesterday, so I can tell that they have been breaking in.  I did try...

  Quote:   Quote: The soundstage is quite deep for closed headphones, but not very wide.  That's about the same conclusion that hardwarecanucks had in the link I posted above, but I could hear that experience too. 

I've created a monster!   Quote:

Quote: Interesting that you'd bring that up.  It's why I'm here.  About 5 years ago, I bought a pair of Altec Lansing PC headphones.  They cost ~$35.  Their sound was okay, better than most of what I had at the time.  Since then, I've had a pair of Shure E3C IEMs, which I paid over $100...

Here's a couple of the reviews I used when I was deciding whether or not to go with these: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/member-reviews/32111-prelim-review-shure-srh750dj-professional-dj-headphones.html http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/497032/shure-srh750-review-impression  ...

I'm still pretty new to this.  What's a good song to test it with?  I'll load it up, have a listen, and tell you what I think.
