iPhone 3GS remote headset transplantation mod
Did a mod for the headset that comes with the iPhone 3GS and shuffle 3G (and also works on touch 2G and nano 4G i think). The included headset has a small remote with playback controls and a mic, so I simply transplanted the cord onto a pair of CX300 IEMs. Quick, awesome mod that gives you good...- Captain ?degard

Read threads resetting themselves
I've had this problem for a while but it's becoming more annoying. Threads that have been read randomly reset themselves to the thick blue text symbolizing "not read", even if no replies have been posted. Anyone else experienced this, and/or know a solution/cause or if its the forum thats bugged?- Captain ?degard

Did a little searching but didnt find anything really conclusive. I have the EP630 now and I like the sound signature, it's just lackign overall. I dont listen much to music and so I don't want that expensive an update, and I'm also rather sensitive to IEMs so I want something with this design...- Captain ?degard

How to: World's smallest 3.5mm DIY plug
Being bored as usual I started tinkering and what I ended up with is a way to make the smallest possible 3.5mm jack for DIY use in the world. Period. This thing sticks about 3mm out of the female jack when in use, that's it. First, you need a smal plug from a IEM or other bought cable that...- Captain ?degard

Beyerdynamic DT231 bluetooth mod
The problem about bluetooth headset isn't the technology, but the headphones. SO I wanted to test how a simple cheap $25 USD AVRCP/A2DP reciever would sound paired with a decent heaphone.
