Obviously there's one of these threads made per day, so sorry for posting another one.  But I feel like I have some fairly specific desires in an earbud / IEM.  Forgive me!   My two main priorities are, first, durability (I will be wearing these at night in bed, while commuting daily, while...

I mostly use my Sharp HP-MD33S earbuds but increasingly I find myself wanting full-size headphones. I listen to a wide variety of music (folk, rock, psychadelic, hip-hop) so I'd like to know what you guys think is the best all-around headphone for less than $100, taking into account sound...

I was curious whether these phones were in fact the same, as they look visually very similar. So I emailed Sennheiser support with the following message: Quote: Many of us over on www.head-fi.org are wondering: are the new CX300 series exactly the same as the Sennheiser IE4, the Creative...

OK. I have a stereo setup in my basement, with the "B" speakers located upstairs in my bedroom and connected via speaker wire run through the wall. What I want to do is still be able to hear music from the basement receiver in my bedroom, but also be able to input other devices in my room...

When I'm listening to my Sharp HP-MD33s, the left bud is a lot louder than the right bud. This is a problem that wasn't there when I first bought the buds - it just developed. Anyone had this problem? I have no idea what might have caused it, other than earwax somehow? I dunno. Anyway, I...

IMO, you have a problem. The Sharps, while they're better than the EX51s, aren't mind-blowingly better. While the E2Cs are much better, they'll have too much isolation for you. You need to decide what's more important: sound quality or not too much isolation. Are you sure you want one of these...

I got an email back from Koss. They say they still have some of the earpads for the Pro4aaa, so that's good to hear. They wouldn't tell me a price - they just said to call them. I'm going to give them a ring tomorrow.

anyone?

Recently I stumbled upon a set of Koss Pro/4AAA's that my dad has had for "30 years," he says. Anyone know anything about these? They sound pretty damn good for their age. I like them, but they're reaaaaally heavy. I think the earpads have deflated though, and I've emailed Koss to try and...

How exactly do I isolate a jack?

I figure I may as well ask questions in here rather than starting a new thread. I've got my cmoy in an altoids tin, but by no means is it in its final form. I'm going to cut the wires to size and set everything up exactly how i want it before moving to a new tin. What I'm wondering is...

YAY! it works! It turns out the problem was a poorly flowed solder joint between the power input and the cap. I suck Thanks guys for your help! It sounds amazing

Is there a trick to it, or do you just push them straight in? I think I figured it out (I needed the small flanges), but I'm just wondering if there's any special way to push them in, twisting or anything.
