Quote: I've tested it on other laptops and music players. Same issue. Asked a friend to confirm. He could hear it too.    So if he's sending me back the same pairs, and technically my warranty period is done, what options do I have?  I could confront him about it and maybe get something...

Ok. I'm going to do my best not to flip out, but this is driving me crazy. The bass on the left side has once again dropped out. There is no more sub-bass. This is the 4th pair I've owned from lendmeurears. He's been good about replacing them, but every single one has failed in the same way.I'm...

So for the second time now the left side has lost most of the low end. Given that I just got them back after waiting 2 months for them to come back from lendmeurears, I'm more than a little frustrated. They're still under warranty, but I'm still quite frustrated by my luck with these.    Has...

I started a project a while back to recable a pair of these in another thread. I thought I'd post it here too since it might interest some people.   So I ended up recabling them with the MEElectronics M2 cables. The M2 is $7 from TigerDirect, significantly cheaper than any stand-alone cables...

So I ended up recabling them with the MEElectronics M2 cables.....and then losing them a day later. Hopefully someone in my building will return them. However I did manage to get some pictures of most of the process:     Before, with those awful cables.   Open them up with a...

School started and I got too busy the finish this. I have the M2s and the 933s. Haven't had the time to get the rest of the stuff. Having the changed the tips on the 933s you get a lot more bass out of them, so I'm suspecting they'll sound even better if I ever get around to making a custom...

That's the idea.     I'm an industrial design student. It's a condition. 

Any bluetooth 4.0/Wireless USB enabled device. The amp/dac would be charged via micro USB with the option (if there's space) of a few EQ settings that the user could custom make for each set of headphones and load onto the device and toggle through them.    As far as the size of the GD04, I...

What do you mean by source?

I was thinking of something the size of the belt buckle I linked to earlier with a clip to secure it to your pants or shirt with play/pause and previous/next controls along with a switch for a user modifiable selection of EQ settings. Having the amp clipped to something would allow a more...

Quote:   What about something like Wireless USB or Bluetooth 4.0? Both of those have significantly higher bandwidths. 

So what about a bluetooth DAC/Amp Combo about the shape and size of this belt buckle?

I'm just curious to know how small you can make one that could drive something like the Hifiman RE262 and still have decent battery life.

Quote: So glad to hear this. While they`re at it, it would be nice if they could they offer the option of a mic and controls for iPhones, Androids, etc for one of the replacement cables. A lot of people use their phones as music players, so having that option should, at this point, be a...

You know, the more I look at it the red cable suits the current design better than the black. It's a flashy design. They're hoping to get the attention of non-audiophiles by putting shiny bright things on it. They know most audiophiles with grudgingly buy it despite its red cable because it's...

Quote: I think a lot of us on head-fi feel the same way. I personally like having a cleaner and more refined design that you grow to appreciate rather than something flashy. I'll also admit that I definitely get a kick out of surprising Beats owners with my inconspicuous GR07s 

I think just about everyone on Head-Fi has a deep-seated knee-jerk reaction to anything that remotely reminds them of Beats. I really think it's the red cable that throws off everyone. Here, I changed the colour of the cable to black. What do people think now? Edit: Hmmm. Ok. May that shiny...

As a product design student interested in ergonomics of cables, I am interested to hear your thoughts on what kinds of cables you feel to be the most successful ergonomically. It's a broad question I realize, but I'd like to make a list of the different factors in cable design along with some of...

Thanks for the tip on the cabling. That looks like a good basis and significantly cheaper than the $36 a piece I would be paying for an Aurisonics cable. As for the d-sub jumpers, I think they're a bit too big to use, and it would be difficult to finish them in a way that would look...

I think style-wise these are some nice looking IEMs (and I hope that's real metal, not plastic). The gap showing the cable and the side is a nice touch. However, I fear that decision, along with making the cable flat and red, is a style-over-substance issue. I haven't worn a flat-cabled IEM, so...

Both my girlfriend and I like classical music. We don't listen to it a lot, but enough for the Yamahas to lose out due to that. With the Rockits I'm concerned about soundstage and sub-bass. The GR01 would be like the R50, and that is supposed to be more detailed but lacking the sub-bass and...

I thought about the Yamaha, but I've heard that it's good for some genres but not so good for others, while the VSonics are true all-rounders. I love the looks of the Yamaha, but that alone won't make me get them. The one headphone I've been considering is the Hifiman RE262, but I'd rather not...

That did cross my mind. Though now that she's heard the GR07 I'm not sure she'll want anything less. Different maybe, but not less. Also, having a different IEM in the apartment means I get to use it too :P  

Nope. I spent well over a month researching IEMs before I bought these. It'll be a while before I buy anything else (shifting my focus to redesigning a pair of Monoprice 8320s) However, my girlfriend is in the market and would prefer something a little cheaper than the GR07s. Let me know what...

As a product design student and a recent audiophile, I've been overcome with the desire to design a build my own set of IEMs. To keep the price of this whole adventure reasonable, I've decided to use the Monoprice 8320 (MEP 933) as the base. The hope is to take the driver out and completely...
