    Re-terminating headphones using a metal mini jack

    Hello,   I shortened the cable on a pair of Sennheiser HD 201 (link) and decided re-terminate with a metal-housed Neutrik right-angled mini jack (link).   I'm seeing continuity between each of the three sections, all measured at the tip (left channel), ring (right channel), or sleeve...

    Will the OPA627 work with a go-vibe?

    Hey Marshall, What would one expect to happen if you DID use the OPA2107 in a Go-Vibe? I'm just curious because it's what I normally use and it sounds fine to me (My vibe is a 2nd generation one from way back I believe).

    Ever feel like your ears are broken?

    Preference aside, I thought that the 595's are considered as 'high end' as the 650. What's wrong with preferring one to the other

    Does Zu Oxyfuel have signal direction?

    Howdy. I can't find it on the Zu site anymore but they used to recommend placing the end of the cable with the Oxyfuel label at the source and the other end at the amp. I really don't think it matters as long as you're consistent with how you hook it up - the 'label at one end' philosophy...

    vYu223: not sure how far you're able to insert them, but I find that I can get my ER-20's in far enough and overcome that echo sound. I emailed Etymotic a while back and here is their response: Quote: The best way to achieve the proper seal is to grasp the top of the ear, and pull...

    HD600 - weak bass?

    Hi there, I can't comment on the HD600's specifically, but when I first got into headphones, I too wondered what happened to the bass in music I knew well. I think you just might be used to the sheer impact of the bass and sub-bass that speakers pump out. It might take some while to get...

    Did I got a fake HD595

    Heya Miracle, Not sure if you noticed this, but almost always the headphones in pictures are shown with them set to the smallest setting. If you pull slightly on each ear cup, it should move down allowing you to adjust it better to your head. Could that be why you're having trouble?
