Tried to fix headphone because I couldn't hear sound from one side (no sound) and seemed to lose soundstage (if that's what it's called). The following is a component inside my ATH-AD700 headphone--what's the name of the part where the soldering and the wires go on? I want to replace it if I...

AD700 is my first headphone and recently, my cat chewed the cable at various parts and I had already repaired them, but now I am left with pieces of tangled cables and I essentially want to know whether it is possible to replace the entire cable completely--otherwise, it will be unusable. I had...

Are wearing headphones/earphones for the majority of the day (68+ hours, almost non-stop)  on close to a daily basis in any way bad for your health assuming volume is average? Just wondering.

I own Audio-Technica AD700 and now, I'm having issues with the left sound working only when the cable is tilted a certain way (cat damaged cable). Also, sound leakage is a bit of a problem. Came across ATH-M50x + an audio recorder of ~$80 value for $144 after rebate, obviously a good deal. I...

I use http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-AD700-Open-air-Audiophile-Headphones/dp/B000CMS0XU for 8+ hours on the computer everyday for many years. It's my all-purpose headphone for Youtube, movies, music that requires clarity and accuracy, etc. I wanted an all-purpose earphone so I did some...

I'm a college student looking for an earphone I can use for everything--from many hours of music and movies to hundreds of Youtube videos and gaming. I can only be more specific on the type of music I listen to, so I will give more details on that--I listen to classical music, pop music...

I am on my computer for the majority of the day--at least 10 hours. I currently use the ATH-AD700 headphones all day long.   - I watch movies and tons of Youtube videos as well as listen to a wide variety of music (though nothing too extreme--mostly classical, pop, alternative music, etc.)...

Will a smartphone like a Samsung Galaxy S3 sound as good as an iPod Touch? I was thinking of getting the smartphone, but I don't know if it will be a complete replacement if it doesn't sound as good as the iPod Touch. Thoughts? I wouldn't mind carrying both if the iPod Touch sounds better.  ...

I have a bunch of FLAC files, but my iPod Touch can't read them. I am looking for the best application to convert FLAC files to file formats such as AAC, MP3, and Apple Lossless. From what I know, two encoded 320kbps of the same file may have different sound quality if they are encoded (I'm not...

 My specific needs:   - Listen to classical music (and music where it's all about instruments), alternative rock, pop music, and other mainstream music. Nothing too hardcore for my ears that would make it bleed or hurt.   - Can block outside noises decently (I don't know if...

Hi, I am looking for the best IEM available for ~$100. I understand that there many options, but here are my specific needs:   - Listen to classical music (and music where it's all about instruments), alternative rock, pop music, and other mainstream music. Nothing too hardcore for my ears...

Klipsch Reference Series S4i Premium In-Ear Noise-Isolating Headphones w/ Microphone for $40 deal.Can I get a better deal? How is this earphone and is it the best I can get for under $100? Even if not, is it the best deal I can find at the moment? I desperately need an earphone as soon as...

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the best IEM I can get for under $100. I know this question is very broad and I need to be more specific, but to be honest, I don't have any knowledge/experience with good IEM. My previous IEM was a Sennheiser CX 500 and at the time of purchase ~4 years ago, it...
