I think the Nokia 920s primary deficiency is audio volume.  It could be that it is a great but you can't really appreciate details if they are barely audible and you might say that it isn't as good.  I've seen previous posts and this seems to be a common complaint. Second, I think Nokia has...

Thanks Jensy  

I got a 920 which was an upgrade from my HTC One X with Beats (sigh) audio.  Sadly, the 920 just doesn't even approach the sound quality of the older HTC--which can play great audio out of even the most mediocre of their downloadable players.  The 920s Dolby filter and other sound enhancements...

Ok, Herr Germanguy, I'll ask.  How did you connect the gimbals to the housings? By the way, what was the effect on the sound of the wood knob you attached on the back of the magnet? I have never seen anyone do that before and I'd like your impressions on the sound before and after. By the...

Thanks Uglyjoe and German Guy.  I bought the mesh and filters and I am now waiting for them to arrive.   

Quote:   This is amazing work.  Those remind me of old World War 2 Telefunken sets where you could adjust the distance of the drivers to your ears by twisting a threaded driver holder in or out.  I would like to try this for my upcoming build, if you patented this process, do I have your...

Where did you get the brass mesh? I've been looking forever for one  

I'm just curious as I am really tempted to try it.  Has anybody here punched holes in their Magnum drivers? Has anyone also tried bluetac on the back of the driver? I'd really like to know the results if anybody has tried before.

Quote:   I think wood glue would be a really good candidate.  It has been used musical instruments particularly cellos and Gibson guitars.  Sound transfer to the tonewood really works in both cases.  You don't get the same effect with bolted on components even with maximum contact between...

Quote:   Be glad to.  I did say you could build this without the high-value items that have a minimal effect on the sound. Magnum X Drivers -- $ 130 Donor used SR60i --   $ 40 (not working) -- use gimbals, pads, headband, plastic cups and cable metal screens -  $ 2.00 If you have...

Hi everyone, I was hesitant to post my mods since everyone else's headphones looks better. Here is mine.  This picture was taken by Brian from BTG Audio and you can see it in his product website. My headset started out as a really beat up pair of SR 225is on Ebay which I probably went overboard...

Quote:   So...a straight line is best?? By the way...I was talking about the 325is which has significantly more bass than a 325i, in my opinion.

Hmmm...interesting. Tell me, since I'm more used to seeing graphs for profitability, what do those squiggly lines mean? Hehe...was I right in stating that some of those other headphones had more bass or do I need to equalize my ears? :)  

So true, I got a couple of Beats owners admit that a SR60i was better but they never replaced their Beats.   

But a 325is with the proper settings has louder, more defined bass than most beats...the lower end AKGs like the K44, although a bit muddier than a 325i, I know has louder volumes, is clearer and has more bass too.  Probably you can squeeze as much bass out of a Sennheiser HD 25-1, heck even my...

Well, wherever you are,   1) pick out a suitable girl: the most attractive one for you, preferably with rich parents and a club membership (you just sign for meals) or whatever it is you think might come in handy -- you have to complement each other after all.    2) Assuming she's all of...

  "i dont have a gf yet so more money for audio"   You gotta move on. Get your gf to buy you audio gear.  In college, I did my GFs term papers and thesis (easy peasy) and she bought me lunch everyday, clothes (couldn't stand how I looked)  and let me use her car and locker.

Ahem, I stated earlier that I didn't like Beats Tours BUT they sounded great on my HTC One X -- so I have to take that back.  I recently got Grado IGIs and they just simply blow those things out of the water.  Yeah they look cheap but they sound like SR125is but with more bass...I checked the...

I admit that I like my Grados, Sennheisers, Klipschs and AKGs more than any Beats or Bose headsets I have tried. I would even say that most Beats headsets are not only bad, but they are terrible! I know what I'm talking about because I can do a rapid A/B with the same tracks and settings.   ...

I've had these Symphones for a couple of days now and it has now caught up with the 325i in terms of volume!  I finally 'unfroze' the controls and let it have a bit of volume and it only got clearer, louder too.  I A/B'd the two headphones on MP3 several tracks like Steppenwolf's 'Born to be...

you can buy some broken ones on Ebay :)  

Ok I got my Symphones X drivers and I wired them up to my rig:for an A & B against a stock 325i.  I chose equipment that a lot of people would be familiar with:   Headphones: 1) Completely stock Grado SR325is broken in with about 40 hours in.   2) Grado SR 225i shell, buttons removed...
