Hey guys! I want to start off by preemptively apologizing. I have a lot of trouble navigating forums and as such usually end up posting my questions in the wrong place. If I did misplace this question please let me know right and tell me where I should ask it. If this is the right place, than...

Quote: Just so you know, I really loved this Idea, the double sided detachable cables, but I had nowhere near enough now-how.

They have been fixed! Basically, the right cable (to the driver that is) got severed, so we (my brother and I) pulled the cable out of the cup, cut it to a usable point, and soldered on a new cable. Unfortunately putting the in they way it came proved to be an impossible task, so we ran in...

Okay, so Amazon gave me a full refund, no questions asked, and I get to keep the headphones. I think I found the problem, so tell me if this makes sense, haha. Right where the cable enters the can (http://imgur.com/K5R1D) the cable is torn open. Not broken, mind you, but the copper wiring is...

I've been looking for an excuse to buy a multimeter, and this will certainly suffice. Thank you Kalbee, I will take all of this into consideration. I sent a request to have return them to amazon, so hopefully none of this will matter, I was just hoping I could pop in a new driver, but now I know...

The cable seemed to be in fine condition, and usually if its the jack, you can jiggle it a get something, but theres also the cable going through the headband, that I have no way of checking.

I recently bought a pair of Sony zx700 headphones for the amazing price of 25 dollars used in "acceptable" condition. When they arrived at my door yesterday, I opened the package, then the box, an put the headphones on. The first thing I noticed was that the right ear was not working. I don't...

I completely forgot, but the Sennheise HD 600 are very well respected general use headphones. They are exactly 400 dollars, but you could find them used or refurbished for less. Not only will they be great in studio, but you can use em' at home too. Great great headphones, a little ugly though...

Beyerdynamic is always great, and the Dt-770 are very well respected monitoring headphones. As far as a more bass heavy pair, I would suggest Finding a pair of Sennheiser Hd 525/535, if possible. Those are very bass enriched, and have an incredible mid section. The highs are a little lack...

     One of the things worth taking into account is how a headphone actually looks on the head. I was going to say the Sony Mdr-1r, but once I saw a couple of pictures of people wearing them, I decided I could do better. I think the Harmon Kardon cl look very nice, both on and off one's head. I...

Thanks! I'll definitely pick it up than!

     Recently my Fiio E6 broke, when I dropped it on the ground, and I lost the switch that turns it on. I have tried a couple of ways to fix it, but I gave up, but thats not what this is about. I was looking for a new headphone amp, and I have noticed the Fiio E11, and E7. Is there a better...

Thanks to all of you for the input. I know for sure that it is the amp specifically. I have tested both headphones on my Ipod, computer, laptop, and a second amplifier we have set up in our living room. That being said I will go to radioshack next chance I get. I really have a feeling its an...

Both headphones work fine with an ipod, laptop, or anything besides my amp. I will test it with a different amp when I get home from school.

 The other day my friend sold me his Sennheiser hd 555 headphones, and I was very excited, these being my first real "Audiophile" grade phones. I plugged them into my Luxman R-104 receiver and before even turning the volume up, I noticed that a very loud white noise coming through. I turned...

Quote:  I can't help but being a little offended, I am aware of other headphones, I appreciate brands such as Beyerdynamic, Denon, Audio Technica, and B&W but at the same time, I am 15, and can only spend roughly 100 dollars on headphones at a time, so I buy brands like Sennheiser, simply...

Quote:     First point I'm going to bring up is: Why not go for the HD429? They are just under 60 bucks on amazon, and you'll get an excellent pair of headphones at the price point, and it is worth the extra 10-20 bucks. That being said, the 429 will have better, clearer, more accurate...

You'll have to eq the bass up a little, but its certainly there. You won't get the same booming bass as the Sony mdr-xb500, but you'll get smooth, and accurate bass response, and it can handle being pushed. You're mids and highs will only improve. With sennheiser you either get exactly what you...

       Towards the end of last year my brother and I traded headphones, so I got to use his srh840 for one beautiful day(he got my senn. hd 525). In one of my classes a kid I knew, but wasn't friends with started questioning me about them. "What are those?" "How much were they?" "Are they...
