So I'm an old-timer that kind of found a sound that suited and was good to go. This sound/product was the Denon AH-D2000. Unsure anyone still has this model but throwing a hail-mary in case. The problem is they fall apart all the time and are hard to put back together. They have a very small...

Wish I could have snapped a pic of these but I saw this girl wearing these in-the-ear buds/IEMs and wondered what they could have been?  They looked like they were perhaps custom molded--they were all purple and had a black wire coming out of the center of them.   Any clue what comes in...

I have an odd issue. I want to use my ipod with turbodock in my car. Unfortunately, the output is too high from the Ipod's line out so I get distortion/clipping/whatever when running it into the line in jack of my car. Can I buy a attenuating mini-to-mini cable? Does such a thing exist? I...

I have basically just been introduced to what ASIO is and managed to get this configured for Winamp. No similar success with the latest version of Foobar, so perhaps Winamp will be my player of choice for the forseeable future. We'll see. Anyway, I'm also reading about "Kernel Streaming"...

Foobar vs. ITunes really is no contest sound-wise. I was skeptical initially but it truly is superior. Why that should be the case I have no idea. That said, getting a nice looking and bug-free version of Foobar for me at least has been a time consuming and somewhat fruitless endeavor. When I...

Would be curious what people choose as their first choices to play through new headphones they're demoing. What's the first thing you want to hear? I generally start with Ulrich Schnauss, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Isis, and Miles Davis--and work from there. Curious what others use for this...

I have this Plantronics 510 bluetooth headset that won't isolate on the ear worth anything--was curious if anyone applied similar mods to their bluetooth phone things that have been done to IEMs and things like the marshmallows. Have wondered how I could get Shure tri or biflanges on this thing...

Is there anywhere to purchase MS2i's for less than the list of $299 or is buying direct from alessandro the only option? Input would be appreciated.

I'm currently using V6s for my guitar rig--and they're nice for this, lightweight and comfortable with good sound for this use--but sometimes the low-end gets carried away and can be hard on the ears. So I'm considering a "leaner" headphone for this use. I understand the studio AKGs offer...

At home, I'm really enjoying the mix of having one closed can and one open can. There's just something about the deep bass in a good closed can. Still, the difference in sound quality between my A900 and AD2000 is fairly extreme (IMO). It's difficult to use the A900 by comparison at all even...

It appears the least expensive I can find the ATH-ES7 new is $140 plus really steep shipping fees. Yet ES7s sell for $85ish shipped in the used forum. Generally the used price is not as significant a difference as that. Does that mean that there's a retailer somewhere selling ATH-ES7s for...

I have this huge 8' RCA-to-1/8 mini plug (3.5mm) monster cable connecting my Headfive to my MicroDAC right now and really need to get something else. Most of my searches led me to good RCA-to-RCA interconnect suggestions--but a lot of dead ends for mini-to-RCAs. I'm sort of just looking for...

Anyone happen to know if other AT earpads will fit the AD2000s? I actually think I prefer the A900 pads to the ones fitted on the AD2000s--but perhaps the w5000 pads would fit these also? Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue or decided to switch out the earpads on these. The AD2000...

Am wondering which one of these phones is the warmer or easier on the ears. I owned some SR60s, and they were just too fatiguing for me. I also demoed some HF-1s at a meet--and loved those--but they were also too fatiguing for me. Am wondering if either of these is a different story. Thanks!

Ugh...I really want to buy a pair of ATH-AD2000 headphones--but pricing them out with shipping is coming out to $540 if I use the "highly recommended" DHL shipping. It's $40 cheaper to go EMS shipping--making the phones the even $500 I thought I'd be paying. I know others have ordered from...

Now that I have a MicroDAC on the way, I'd like to leave my X-Fi soundcard in the PC for gaming and use the MicroDAC for music. Anyone know if this is tricky to set up--or if switching back and forth is any kind of a problem? Never used an external DAC before, so I don't know if it's...

Bah. Can't find a thread with a definitive answer I can hang my hat on as far as an external DAC goes. This is out of a desktop PC--so I guess the Indigo DJ is out. I currently use a X-Fi Extreme, so I'm looking for an upgrade over that. Cost aside, which is the best DAC of the following...

Currently I'm going from an X-Fi Xtreme to my Headfive--and on several occasions many have told me I need to get away from my soundcard and go to something else. I never received much of a definitive answer though and it seems like it's something of a contentious issue. I could probably...

I read somewhere where a guy said he setup a script to search the For Sale forums often for things he was looking for. As everything I seem to be interested in there seems to be replied to close to instantly, I'm wondering if others have similar searches going somehow. I've been trying to...

No one seems to be able to touch pricejapan.com's $494 shipped price on AD-2000s that I've found. Can anyone offer their experiences with this retailer? Thanks.

Bought and sold a few headphones--enough to evaluate and develop some preferences. Still don't have the "perfect" headphone--but I guess I've ruled out some things. Right now my 2 main cans are HD595 and AT-A900. I also have a Beyer DT770-80. Of these, I feel like the HD595 would be the...

Is amazon's $164.99 shipped the best price currently available for ER4Ps? Thanks!

Anyone know about what Bluetin charges for shipping on these headphones? I've been waiting for months to buy a used pair and there's been like 2 of these in this time and they get snapped up instantly. Bluetin won't give you a ship quote until you send an order in--that's pretty...

I've now removed the (removeable) foam pads on K81DJ and HD650, thanks to the suggestions of others here, to great success. Although I've only had the 650s for 48 hours, I definitely preferred K81DJ without the foam, and initial reaction on the 650 is that it's an improvement. So--has anyone...

I was told in another forum that my X-Fi Extreme is holding my rig back, and that if I want to experience "texture" in my headphones, I should consider a DAC instead. I could afford an inexpensive DAC, but as I'm using a low (or medium depending on your perspective) cost amp, it seems like it...
