    Is this a broken MMXC on my SE846?

    Hi, I've started to lose sound in my SE846 when my cable moves in certain ways. Looking into the connector, it looks "half" there? Does it look like one side broke off?

    Looking for something to replace my SE846 + True Wireless Gen 2

    Hi all. I had historically used Shure IEMs. A long time ago with my E500s, and then I've had my SE846 for probably about 10 years now. My SE846 are having some issues (though I'll still try to have them repaired). I've loved their combination with the Shure True Wireless Gen 2 bluetooth...

    Good portable amp with multi-band EQ (for asymmetric hearing loss)

    Hi all, I have some asymmetric hearing loss between 3000Hz and 4000Hz. With IEMs, the difference is extremely noticeable to me. It sounds like someone took the balance slider and slid it to the right (since the loss is in my left ear). I was wondering if anyone knows of any good portable amps...

    love my SE846 with Shure yellow tips, wear out too quickly...

    Hi all, I love my SE846 IEMs, in particular I find the Shure yellow foam tips to give me the best seal and isolation. Unfortunately, those tips seem to wear out very quickly since I tend to wear my IEMs for a few hours a day, pulling them in and out somewhat frequently. I was wondering what to...

    Has anyone received a replacement unit in the US?

    Has anyone here sent a malfunctioning FiiO unit to their US location for a replacement? If so, what was the condition of the new unit you received? I have a 1.5 month old X3 where the right headphone audio will cut out until I physically slap the back of the unit a few times. I was told I...

    FiiO support not being cooperative, slow to response, and not paying attention to detail

    Hi all,   I was very excited to get my FiiO X3 2nd gen device after so many people on this forum seem to praise FiiO gear, as well as the good experience I had with my Alpen 2 which I use as a daily DAC.   I was given the FiiO X3 for Christmas, and it was ordered December 16 2016 from...

    rubber detaching from Shure SE530 ... what to do?

    It's been a long journey with these Shure earphones.  First, I owned the E500 (purchased in 2007) and like many other owners, the cable dried up and eventually cracked on me.  Shure was kind enough to replace those headphones with a new set of SE530 back in 2010.  Now, the rubber is detatching...

    owned HD650, DT880... something nice, but down a step?

    Hi all,   I was a pretty active member several years ago... owned the HD650, DT880s, had a dv336i amp and basically sold it all, only hanging on to my Shure E500 IEMs (which still rock).  I'd really like to become active again, but I think I'd like to take it "down a notch."  I'm not really...

    best iPhone (volume+mic) adapter for Shure SE530?

    Hi all,   I am looking to get an adapter for my headphone cable to support call and volume control.  I recently saw one released by Shure but it didn't have volume control.  I only saw one with a call/end control.  Has anyone had any experience with these?  Even beyond Shure.   - George

    E500 cable cracked, out of warranty, anyone had luck?

    Hi all, I purchased the E500's in the midst of all the negative hype over the cables cracking ~3 years ago because at the time there was a Shure representative on the board claiming that if the cable cracked, they would replace it for you. I don't know if they meant IN warranty, or also OUT...

    BestSkinsEver -- amazing customer service (and product, btw)

    I must say, Michael over at BestSkinsEver not only produces a great skin, but has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. A couple months ago, I had ordered two skins for my 80gb 5.5G iPod. I did not receive them after a week and sent Michael an e-mail about it and he...

    leather pads on DT880 -> major bass impact difference

    Hi all, I read from the forum that the leather pads increase the bass impact on DT880s, and given I was looking for a little bit more bass out of the headphones... i decided to give it a try. Wow, I seriously cannot believe the difference with the leather pads. The 880s literally sound...

    darth beyer dt770/80s vs DT880

    Hi all, I currently have a pair of DT880s and like them, but sometimes I feel as though they lack bass. So, I was thinking about a pair of DT770s but then I think I'd be stuck with a heavy bass headphone with no midrange. I feel stuck. I was wondering how Darth bayer dt770/80s sound in...

    portable DAC+amp suggestions to power DT880 and HD650

    Hi all, I'm looking for a portable DAC+amp combo to power a pair of DT880s and HD650s in my lab. I don't leave the headphones over night in fear of them getting stolen, so all equipment must be picked up and moved. So, a portable dac+amp would be ideal. However, it doesn't have to be super...

    need suggestion: closed, extremely sturdy, big sound stage

    Hi all, I'm tossing around the idea of getting a DT880 because it's an extremely sturdy headphone with great balance and a large sound stage. The only thing is, I might be using it for my lab which can get a bit noisy. So I'm curious for some suggestions on a similar headphone that is closed...

    Beyerdynamic DT770 vs 880 vs 990

    Hi all, I'm looking for a new pair of headphones that are extremely durable that I don't have to worry about scratching/cracking/breaking in my lab. So, I narrowed it down to a Beyerdynamic set. My two most listened to genres of music are electronic and rock. I love a huge soundstage for...

    Grado quality equivalent of the HD650?

    Hi all, I'm looking for a pair of headphones for my lab. I love my HD650's and contemplated getting a second pair for my lab, but the HD650's are extremely high maintenance. It's so easy to chip the paint off of the headband or cups or scratch them because of their horrible build quality...

    venting about Verizon's phone selection

    Verizon's phone selection sucks, why must all of their phones flip, slide, twist, flip sideways, or slide sideways. What in the world happened to phones that were just simple phones? They had the Motorola Sliver a couple months ago that I was interested in getting, but my new every 2 rebate was...

    *really* impressed by FruityLoops Studio

    Hey all, Has anyone played with the FruityLoops demo? I was really blown away by this software. The UI, for what it's trying to accomplish, is truly amazing. Usually when I try out sound publishing software I'm left with a bunch of knobs that make me go ????. But it really seems like their...
