    Brainwavz Audio B400 4-Way Quad Driver 3D Printed IEM

    Just got these in and listening to them right now. These have enough bass to satisfy most people. As a frame of reference I felt like my Vsonics Gr07 were just about right, and the 1more triple drivers had too much to where i lowered the bass in my phone's equalizer. But for these... they are...

    Multiple driver full size headphones

    The general opinion it seems is that  BA drivers are faster and provide better treble freq. response among other advantages etc... while Dynamic drivers are generally 'preferred' for their warm sound.   Most people think splitting up the driver duties between Low/mid/high freq. in IEMs...

    Multiple driver full size headphones

    Are there any full sized headphones with more than 1 driver? I see a lot of IEMs with 2,3,4 drivers and it makes a vast improvement for the sound. So why not full size headphones too? If anyone can enlighten me or knows of a headphone  thanks for the info!

    Quote: That's great, I feel like I can buy these without trying them on for comfort. For anyone needing this info your hatsize measures to be around 24.2" inches,  I measured my head circumference to to be 23" inches which would be US 7 3/8" or 7 1/2 hat size. I suppose I shouldn't really...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Quote: I live in Hong Kong, and travel around south china frequently. Its extremely humid here and i also keep mine in the pouch when not in use. Im sure florida shouldnt be a problem unless you are always in a non-air-conditioned place.

    Heres my GR07 Mk2 after about 6 months of use, notice the hint of blue hue on the cable, it started to changed color around the 4 month mark. But they still sound just as great!

    I would like to buy the M-100s but after reading so much about the pain-of-ear cups I have two questions   1. I wear prescription glasses, are they going to be okay to wear with them? If it makes a difference I wear IC Berlin glasses and the ear hooks on those are straight, not the typical...

    Repairing ear pads or replacing them on HD 595s

    Well i pulled off the pads and cleaned some dust and grime and hair from the back. Haha, I guess that is 8 years of use does.   The back plastic 'wrap' material seems really worn out and frayed and damaged as you can see. What is this material and does it affect sound quality? I'll post some...

    Repairing ear pads or replacing them on HD 595s

    Thanks for the info, For a cost free option, would it be safe to try and glue them back together? Looking at the pads, it doesn't even seem like they stitch the velour pads together, its just held together by glue. Maybe its worth a try?

    Repairing ear pads or replacing them on HD 595s

    My HD 595s foam padding came apart because of the humidity and long-term use (i have had these for for over 8 years) is there any way i can repair it without getting them professionally fixed? I contacted sennheiser but their quote was too expensive for me.

    Mid-fi Shootout - HD600 - HD598 - Focal Spirit One - Philips Fidelio L1

    Good review, helped me clarify my thoughts on my upgrade purchase. My HD 595s are getting old after 10 years and im looking to upgrade without spending too much money and 598 seems like a good safe bet since the only thing i didn't like about the 595s is the bass

    SAmsung galaxy note 2

    Reporting back here for people having similar problems. I went to the pro audio shop and tried a couple dacs. While they did eliminate the noise. Its not worth paying nearly 100 to eliminate noise. I tried a resistance adapter and it worked perfectly. Zero noise and just 6 dollars. While I was...

    SAmsung galaxy note 2

    Well the thing is that if I plug in my sennheiser hd595 or pxc 450 there is no hiss at all and it is very nice playing piano and orchestral tracks. So maybe its not the android engine? Plugging in my um1s to my home reciver I also get the same amount of noise. Its an onkyo only about 3 yrs old...
