Wow sounds like a lot of work  Thanks for the info! 

What size/which volume knobs did you get? And how do you remove the stock volume knob?

Using DFB here. Additionally, if you're on Mac and download the program Karabiner (not sure if on windows), you can have the volume keys default to being 1/4 steps like holding Shift+Option+Volume does. I'm sure you can reprogram the keys somehow without an app (and if someone figures it out...

The new Dragonfly Black and Red work with iPhones and (are temperamental with) Android (Read the official discussion thread for more details). As for sound quality, I don't have a 1.2 so I can't compare, but I've heard the discussion go both ways with Black>1.2 and 1.2>Black, but the sure thing...

Did you just unsolder the PCB and resolder a 3.5mm plug? if so, could you possibly show pictures of the internals, cuz seeing this I'm thinking about doing that to mine right now too 

It's cheaper  I don't have any experience with the red, but I do have the black, and for my purposes, it does its job 

The Dragonfly Black is a DAC and an Amp. You can't use only a DAC, there needs to be some amping to power the headphones. All external DACs will either require another amp, or have one built in, but in either case it won't send the signal back to use the iPhone's amp (which I'm gonna go ahead...

I understand that they can be used wired, but at their core, they're still a headphone made for portable use, in which case, I'd say a DAC/Amp setup is almost overkill. Almost. Sure there could be some minimal changes if you do get a DAC/Amp to use portably, but you just have to weigh the...

Keep in mind if you're planning on getting an external DAC/Amp, you won't be able to use the wireless functionality of your Crossfade Wireless. That said, the iPhone 6 and up is supposed to be a great source as is, and seeing as you're using relatively easy to drive headphones, an amp wouldn't...

Yeah that's why I put YMMV. If you do get lucky and your Target is clearing out inventory, you can make a good find :D It was the green color, which I think they call "Alpha." I just checked the DPCI for Brickseek and its 057-01-2074

The target is the one in New Berlin, WI. I've never heard of brickseed, and on the target website the jaybirds bluebuds X2 are still $150 (http://target.com/p/jaybird-x2-premium-wireless-earbuds-x2-premium/-/A-50226870)

YMMV but my local target was moving things around and my dad got some Jaybirds X2 for $56 after tax because they were in clearance. Not hi-fidelity, but a great deal on some workout headphones

The Sennheiser HD 598 is quite good 

I think Sleek Audio Makes CIEMs with removable cable, and they also sell a wireless adapter that fits those cable sockets.

Just know this about the X10   http://www.amazon.com/review/R1TAW34665LUP8/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1

I got mine straight from sennheiser and had the same things happen... They work just peachy. Put some electrical tape on the tracks of the drivers (ie take the driver capsules off, put tape on the ridged side, then put the capsules on. It'll be more stiff, but they definitely stay in place.) As...

Double post sorry

You just solder the ground to the large tab

I'm curious, is this vibration system more tamed/realistic than the Skullcrushers? Those vibrated at every hit of the bass, but will these be more controlled, or is it similar? For me the worst thing about the Skullcrushers was that, yes it vibrated, but it didn't have the bass body to...

So much... FLAC? Lololol

I go to an all-guys highschool; what are girls?

That guy looks pretty sweet, but not better than a koala ;)

I'm 17 and a Junior, currently rocking Amperiors and an E11 connected to an Ipod touch 4g via lod.   My stuff is purchased through saving hundreds of dollars in Amazon gift cards (it's basically all I ask for for XMas and Birthday time).   I've got a couple audiophile friends, but have...

The ANC feature works best on constant noises such as a plane or car engine, but it fails to cancel much of sudden noises such as voices or doors shutting. For travelers dealing with a constant background noise, they are great, but listening to them in a quiet room with sudden noises will not be...

Enjoy them... If you are happy with the sound, then all is good
