I just got a set of second hand DT880s that I bought off of Ebay. The first thing I noticed was that the headband adjusters were very loose. Apart from the up and down movement, there was a significant amount of left and right movement and in-and-out movement. I felt the other end of the...

I have the Ety ER-4S and I like the sound and the isolation it provides (I use foamies). I'm looking for something more comfortable but does not sound too different. I don't like the way the barrel sticks out of my ears. I'd prefer something that sits in my ears and the cable designed to go...

I'm after a DAC and the following are my requirements - Under $400 (but as cheap as possible) - Good measured performance (link the review if you can) - I'm just after a simple, well engineered product that doesn't break the bank and isn't designed by ear or whatever. Not saying measurements...

I'm looking for suggestions for the best source set up for PC. I have some headphones and amp on the way.   I'm going to be using it for both music and gaming, and obv I want to get the best out of my head/amp combo.   The main requirement for me is that I need Dolby Headphone or similar...

I'm wondering what properties of loudspeakers makes the sensitivity different between different loudspeakers at the same impedance, or vice versa. I.e, what makes it that if the same amount of current goes into different loudspeakers, the output volume is different?   Also, assuming the same...

Hey I heard decored olives are the best tips for RE0. I have a set of Comply T400 and a set of Shure olives. How do you strip the tube from the olives? I've been trying to pry it off but it's stuck on really hard

Be honest here - if u wear a set of full size cans down the street does that make u look like a d-bag? There used to be a time before the proliferation of iPods and the ubiquitous (and goddam annoying) ibuds they used to be acceptable, but I hardly see them any more. If u rock K1000's u look...

I'm looking for headphones for travel. For me, although SQ takes first priority obviously, followed by comfort, appearance and practicality are of concern. Been looking at the Audio Technica ATH-A900's. Can anyone comment on their build quality and practicality? The headband doesn't look like...

Hi I have a question regarding the isolation of RE0's. The stock tips aren't isolating, but they are compatible with isolating tips like Comply foamies. RE0's use dynamic drivers, and AFAIK, dynamic driver canalphones aren't meant to isolate, ie, it negatively impacts SQ. Eg, some models...

Hey on Headroom, they that desktop package with their own DAC, Preamp and Power amp devices. Are they actually good? Are there better alternatives in the price range?

Hi I'm after a pair of closed headphones with decent comfort and isolation. I'll be using them for travelling a lot. I used to use a set of ER-4S, but it's annoying to pull on and off, and while I find them comfortable with certain tips, they wear out too often and it costs chunks...

I'm looking for some foam tips for ER-4, like Comply ones and they are very expensive. It's alright if they last a while but in my experience they last about a couple of weeks max. I've heard that the Shure foam tips fir the ER-4's and are good. Do you have any recommendations on...

Does Cowon S9 benefit from amping? Is the internal amp good enough to forego an external one (like D10)? Does it have line out? Thanks

After reading several guides on how to do a diy iMod, I was thinking about taking the digital signal and adding optical out or something. Surely it can't be that hard. Worth a try?

My imod died today. It was on full battery and then it just crashed sorta. I use rockbox, and this is what happened: 1. firstly, it was acting a bit weird cuz it was playing with the left and right channels swapped around. it took 3 resets before it played the L and R channels the right way...

what song made u cack yourself when u heard it? can be intentional or unintentional. my vote: rammstein - amerika: nothing's funnier than angry german people playing heavy metal. not only is the chorus hilarious, but also the way they say mickey mouse in a pissed off german accent. this song...

I'm aware of Neutrik, Switchcraft and Canare Neutrik and Switchcraft has right angles and Canare doesn't. Are there any others which have right angled? Which one is the best? AFAIK, they are all nickel plated. Are there gold plated ones?

i'm not in the mood to write up any detailed review, but a few impressions of the product and the process: the process: -the process was a pain. i'm fairly sure i didn't do the impressions very well, but i cbf ordering another impressions kit, so i thought close enough is good enough. the...

Is there a CD version of this concert? I have the DVD of it, and I'm not sure what audio encoding is but it sounds really bad converted into stereo, eg the bass part in the jam session at the end of Echoes Pt 1 just sounds wrong. Crossfeed makes it sound very different but just as bad. I've been...

i don't have any gear to test it, which is ok because it requires a solid 200 hours burn in right? which is like a week. is there any way to leave it to charge and play at the same time? what's the best music for burn in? do i need to plug headphones in to load the output? i'll have...

i never listened to beatles that much - i thought they were just a group that made rock big, but i listened to "while my guitar gently weeps" and i was very impressed with the songwriting. the riffs and bass line was simply art! which other similar beatles songs should i check out?

I just received the impressions kit from The Earplug Store. I tried the impressions in. They felt good, but didn't make a perfect seal. The isolation is much lower than foamies. I heard that the finished product kinds sticks to your ears when heated, so hopefully it'll isolate better...

can you buy audio cable sheathing? is it like heat shrink, but with better dialectric properties?

I want to make my DIY cable for my ER-4S, unfortunately, I know nothing about it. I want to replace the stock ER-4 cable with high quality audiophile cable, something like Crystal Cable, or Cardas, but they don't make IEM cables. So I'm going to make my own, but out of what cable? All I know...
