Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 / Sony MDR XB500 / OneOdio Pro 50 (lol) / JBL Tune 710BT I use the Sony's on my PC via headphone amp (Douk U3 mini) and JBL's for everything else, The JBL's sound better overall than the rest of my selection, i love the smooth detailed mid range and they have pretty...

Right on, how do you like the tube amp in your pic? If possible order from a reputable source like Digikey or Mouser, Before buying the 8920 I made the mistake of ordering an AD8397 opamp from eBay and I'm pretty sure it was counterfeit, It came on a SOIC to DIP8 adapter as AD8397 doesn't have...

Hi not sure if this is the correct forum I have a Go-Vibe v4 portable headphone amp with a broken DC jack (center pin came out) This amp works perfect with my PC and was hoping to repair it but i'm unsure what part# would work with it, I know the jack size is 1.3 mm based on the DC power adapter...

I recently bought a Douk U3 Mini headphone amp from Amazon, was only $30 with decent reviews so figured i'd give it a shot, My trusty 15 yr old Go-Vibe v4 amp needs repair due to broken DC port(center pin came out). The Douk comes with a USB power cord to supply power but some reviews mention...

Thanks to audio forums like this I ended buying an HSU VTF-3 MK3 with the Turbo add-on several years ago and discovered what bass is suppose to sound like, I had been running a Cerwin Vega CLS-15S sub prior and at the time thought it sounded good but man it was absolute garbage compared to the...

Recently replaced the original ear pads on my 6 year old Sony XB500's and now the bass is much stronger, the old pads had worn to the point all of the shiny black coating flaked off over the years and they also leak a lot more sound vs. the new pads. Only downside is the new pads arent as...

Based on my current inventory: Koss PortaPro Sennheiser HD280 Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Ohm Sony MDR-XB500 KRK KNS 6400 (32ohm) <- I returned these within the 30 day return period (purchased in town), They just sounded lifeless & flat ..maybe flat is good for some but it sounded 'boring'...

Quote: Thanks for this I was able to get my Creative X-Fi & XB500's sounding pretty damn good using your Game mode EQ settings (with some slight adjustments), Also at first I had them plugged directly into my Logitech Z5500's headphone jack but I recently moved them to my X-Fi's...

Thanks for the replies I was unaware of the lifetime warranty, even if I have to pay $9 + shipping thats not a bad deal.

I have the all black porta pros which are around 2 years old and have the "cloth" style cable.   Recently the left channel started cutting out, if I bend the wire right at the jack I can get it working again so for now I put a paper clamp on it lol.   I'm just wondering if it would be...

How do the MDR-7506's sound in comparison to Koss PortaPro or Sennheiser HD 280 Pro? The last Sony headphones I owned were MDR-V6 several years ago and they sounded really good, the only downside I remember was they had a slightly exaggerated upper end but that wasnt always a bad thing.

Quote:   Interesting. Guess ill have to research the thread and do this myself, is there any known side effects?   Thanks.

Does modding an X-Fi XtremeMusic make that much of a difference? All 3 of my headphones already sound so loud & clean as is directly connected to Line Out 1.

Hi Im trying to find a decent pair of headphones for use with PC, I have an X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard which I believe doesnt have an amplified output? I recently bought a pair of KRK KNS 6400 headphones (32ohm) but they sound pretty bad overall, They have zero bass output and I have to really...

I just bought a pair of Portapro's from best buy last week and must say im amazed at the sound quality, granted I have them hooked up to a non-amplified source (Logitech Z5500 PC audio) They actually sound better than my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's (80ohm) but im sure thats mainly due to...

Ive owned a set of DT770's for about 3 years and never had a problem but today they started acting ...strange.. When listening to music its as if there's a surround sound effect being applied, voices are very muffled yet background instruments are loud and clear (?) I have them hooked up to...

Well im sure most of you already know the quality of these amps but just wanted to say Im very impressed with the Go-Vibe v4, I had no idea my DT770 Pro's could sound this good I use them mainly on my PC (X-Fi soundcard) mp3's / movies and especially gaming is excellent on these cans, the bass...

Norm recommended I get this exact power supply for my go-vibe v4: part # 95B0568 from http://www.newark.com/NewarkWebComme...&Ntk=gensearch I got the power supply just awaiting the go-vibe , should be here early next week
