Hey people. My SRH940 have cracked recently. The bummer? I've had them for 5 years and haven't used them at all! Only tested them at first, and I wanted to sell them now, so I used them for a few days - and they cracked. I got an offer from the service center for a fix or to purchase a...

Hey guys, long time no see!   I've spent the last 7 hours experimenting and researching with no effect. I'm trying to hook up my new PS3 to my Creative X-Fi HD USB card via optical cable. Note the card is purely stereo only, no DD/DTS/5.1/whatever capabilities.   I set my PS3 to use optical...

Quote:   In fact there are 4 ways to put the earphones on the cable, since both earphones (sides) are technically identical but the logo goes always form left to right, so basically you can can switch the shells around (while the L/R sides remain correct on the cable) and have:   a)...

I feel really stupid but I gotta ask. What's the right way to connect VC02 earphones to the cable? The connector is up/down symmetrical and I realized that when I turn the earphone(s) upside down, the sound changes - it seems the phase is reversed.   I like the sound when the VC02 sign faces...

Quote:   Quote:   Sorry for the confusion then. Didn't think the Hybrids are THAT narrow.

FYI the Sony earbuds won't fit the R50 if that's what you expected.

My new discovery - Anja Plaschg a.k.a. Soap&Skin:     Apparently she writes the music as well... Kinda-warning: crazy video and music.

For Nova owners who received the firmware update: If you're having problems running the HiSoundTool.exe (error on startup and then doesn't update), this is what worked for me:   1) open 汉声Nova-N1标准升级工具包 > 汉声NOVA升级工具 > 英文版 (the location of HiSoundTool.exe in English as indicated in the help...

I wonder how exactly was the fw massaged besides adding the sound features and removing some useless stuff like image viewing.   Namely, I wish for this features/fixes:   1) the aforementioned cutting off the first second of each song 2) treating the memory card just like the internal...

I like how this little grey box sounds. It's not as refined as iPod Video+FiiO E11 combination (via line-out) and somewhat more hissy, but it's really not far behind. Definitely better than vanilla iPod Video or Clip+. In everything.   However I'm not holding my breath for the firmware...

Quote: I'm gonna try that, just not with superglue but some self-hardening liquid plastic for seals. That should work better. I found superglue to be hard to work with for other stuff than sticking two things together.

Quote: I have the iPod Video (5G) and the Nova is definitely better in these regards with Rock-it R50. However it's also quite a lot brighter and this of course influences everything else. Based on just about two hours of listening I won't judge more but yeah it seems the Nova is pretty...

Just received the NOVA1. Holy crap this thing is gorgeous. I have to say say I've never seen a piece of technology so beautiful. All my iPods now look like fat ugly bricks. This is how you do design, rest of world.

I went ahead and removed the memory wire which was driving me up the wall. It was easier than I thought and the risk to the cable is low if you're careful. Inside the rubber casing is a metal string, You can see its shape through the rubber. If you make a shallow cut along this string, you can...

So, nobody tried removing the memory wire?

Quote:   If you'd remember what brand or model that was I'd sure like to see that!   Crazy concept indeed but I like the snake eyes. Not sure what I'm gonna do when winter passes and I won't wear a hat outside though.

If you haven't heard of Quarkie yet, all you need to see as an introduction is this:     Yeah that's a snake head sticking out of her ear, complete with a tongue. Or an eye. Or a rusty bolt. Overall there are 6 models in 7 colors. Quarkie web site is here.   Apparently Quarkie...

Quote:   Noooo way! I like both almost the same. Well okay I like H100 a bit better but still It's like having two women with very different personalities.   Quote:   Don't worry you hear it just fine. I've had both for two months, they're both so lovely in different ways. My...

Guys, guys. When I first saw the Nova, I also thought it's just a rebranded OEM. First, to be clear - there's nothing like a 'X30 copy'. X30 is just an OEM product. There are a dozen players with the same design. I myself had the same thing under Emgeton brand. Also the firmware is pretty much...

I'm confused. First there was one $99 or something player and now there's one $80 (including $49 phones) and one $249?

Sounds good, since 840 pads are compatible with 440. A good reason to keep the 440.

Hey guys. Any idea if the 940 earpads (HPAEC940) are usable on the lower Shure models such as the 440?

What upfront fees? When I asked about my lose memory wire, they told me they'd replace it but didn't mention any fees. It would require to ship the phones to HK or China however.

I love the sound, I just hate everything else about them. Mostly the build quality. I'm just waiting when they're going to fall apart.   Heck I even hear quite a bit of microphonics regardless how well I wrap the memory wire around my ear.   I just don't get it. It's not like I haven't...
