Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone has any experience with transplanting drivers from some worthy headphones into another set of cans? I have a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-A900x's that I bought a couple years back and the wing support has broken in one side, and I had trouble with the pads...

Source: Sansa Clip+ Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-A900X   I am wanting to buy a headphone amp in the sub $100 category; but after looking around i'm wondering if it would be better to go with a. just a simple good amp with an eq like I planned, or b. fork out the extra cash for an Amp/ DAC. ...

Bump. Seriously, I would think more people would reply to this.

How do you have a DAC in foobar? I'm interested! 

I am considering rockboxing my new Clip+, but I want to know what the UI is like before I decide. Does anyone know of anywhere where there is a tour of the Clip+ Rockboxed UI? Or could someone just post some pictures for me maybe? Thank you in advance for any replies. EDIT: Also, what EXACTLY...

Thanks to everyone so far who has replied, all of your input has been very helpful! Also, anyone reading this still is more than welcome to put in their word, I'm still interested in more tips etc.!

  I listen to music a lot while doing nothing else, but how do I listen to music "critically" like what should I do? What do you mean by that.

Thank you Me X3, that was a lot of good info and I will start looking at those links you sent me ASAP! Best regards, ZokharaFi

Hello reader, i'm not sure how well my title convey's my point, so let me explain. I am a young, intelligent audiophile that has a passion to learn everything I can about high-fidelity sound reproduction. Along with my desire to learn, I have the interest, time, and determination to help the...

Bump. Please recommend anything, i'd really like some new music to look into. Especially from any experienced audiophiles, like a list for testing systems, that would be really awesome.

Done, good luck mate :)

Not my point, but yeah. I just meant that $300 is a lot of money, not that it wasn't worth it or wasn't a good deal :P

Okay, so I sadly broke my Sennheiser HD 280's a couple of weeks ago, and have been shopping around for the perfect headphones since. With all of the "Black Friday week" deals going on, I really got in the zone and couldn't stop looking at reviews and different headphones and such for about two...

So basically, here I am waiting for my headphones, and I am so excited that I can not express my excitement in words.    Anyways, I am sure that there are others in the same place now, or that have been in the same place, and if you want, I am very interested in hearing about everyone's...

Only $300... that's all? :P

I have never done any mods before, and haven't ever used a soldering iron but I have a good one to practice with first and am an avid welder so shouldn't be too hard for me. I already tried looking up A900x mods... looks like no one has done anything with them yet (or atleast posted about it)...

So you can do it. How do you open them up without breaking the cans? (Sorry, but i'm a total noob to headphone mods, but i'm REALLY interested). Maybe you can give me some recommendations for mods. I just got a pair of Audio Technica ATH-A900x's and am wondering what I can do with them mod-wise.

Is there any way to upgrade cables for headphones that do not have detachable cables?

What do you have experience modding? I would really love to play with modding!

Are these the same things?? http://www.amazon.com/Fostex-Semi-Open-Headphones-Commercial-Applications/dp/B0002MT6RY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385794933&sr=8-1&keywords=t50rp  

Your call. One would think he was talking about the MD's, but his opinion on isolation may be based on his experience with the HE-6 but it's the closest I could find. I'll keep looking for ya man. EDIT: Oh and seriously look into those ATH-A900x's.

Might sell for the last bump of $$? :)

Hey, I have been doing a crap load of research lately... it started out with my search for my own headphones, but I just cant stop haha, I don't know why but this is a lot of fun for me, I really love this site. Anyways, that said, I can say (not from experience, but) from all of my research...

Go with a Fiio E11 combo. It's a damn good amp, especially for your bassy preference.  "Fiio E11 Build Quality: ●●●●◎ (Unique design with a plus of replaceable battery) Power: ●●●●● (Plenty for most) Output Impedance: ●●●●● (0.15 Ω) Portability: ●●●◎○ (Smaller than most full size) Speed...
