    Fix minor speaker rattle

    Have a set of Rogers DB101. There's a tiny bit of rattle coming from the cone.. stops when I flex the driver a bit, or lightly place my hand on the center.   What's the best way to fix this? The cups don't attach to the cones, so I think it's just rubbing against it a bit from vibration and...

    Cheap but good clean sounding Preamp?

    I picked up a pair of Rogers DB101 from Value Village last week for $20. Great score, right? lol   Anyway, I'm a fan of repurposing things, so I thought I'd make a little desktop stereo for my computer. I have a crate of a few old car stereos, so I hooked one up to a 12V 1A power supply I had...

    The Dash - Wireless Smart In-Ear Headphones

    Anybody see this yet?   They look incredible. I WISH I had the money to get in on the $199 price. I just hope my financial situation has improved by the time these hit the market.   Anyway, they're on Kickstarter right now, and man these things are rocking quite a list of features!   Check...

    VSonic VSD1 or NuForce NE-700 or Zero Audio Carbo Basso?

    My favorite IEMs to date have been the Westone UM3X and Yamaha EPH100.   I love bass, but prefer sub-bass over mid bass. I prefer neutral midrange, I find forward midrange to be 'blaring' and obnoxious, especially when I listen to metal in the gym. I prefer laid back highs. Anything that can...

    Need something under $50 comparable to Yamaha EPH100 - Any Ideas?

    Since my Yamahas kicked the bucket, I'm without a decent set of earphones to use in the gym. Unfortunately, I'm very strapped for cash right now being unemployed, so I'm hoping to find something for under $50.   I actually really enjoyed the sound of the Yamahas. I loved the bass, the subtle...

    Sennheiser PX100 - Echoey, overblown reverb??

    I've been using my mom's Sennheiser PX100. I thought from all of the positive reviews these get that they'd sound decent. What's with the echo?? Everything I listen to sounds like there's a reverb effect. I can literally hear an echo from dialogue in movies, music sounds off..... I don't like...

    Looking for BA IEMs similar to UM3X sound sig for use in the gym

    I really love my UM3X. Every time I put them in after listening to other earphones, it's as if my ears breathe a sigh of relief. I just really like the sound sig of them.   Having said that, are there any BA IEMs on the market that have a similar sound sig, but are somewhat more affordable...

    Tips for Plantronics Backbeat 903+?

    Anyone know of any tips that fit the Backbeat 903/903+?    I returned the Motorola S10-HD I had, and picked up this set.. sound is much better, but I get zero isolation still.. the tips just sit on the outside of my ear canal. I'd like to use some tips that will give proper isolation so I...

    Other ear tips for Motorola S10-HD?

    I just picked up the S10-HD on sale. I did read the reviews which said the S9-HD sounded a lot better, however they are prone to malfunctioning due to sweat. I purchased these specifically for use in the gym, so I needed something that wouldn't kick the bucket after a few uses.   The tips...

    AKG K141 replacement pads?

    I have the newer style, that twist locks/unlocks. The fake leather is total crap and wearing out quickly. I'd like to get some replacement pads, but the only supplier I've been able to find so far is thomann.de and they have a min 50 euro order.   Anyone know where I can get some velour...

    Cheapest place to order DT770 velour pads (including shipping to Canada?)

    Anyone know the cheapest place to order replacement velour pads for Beyerdynamic DT770s? $25-30 shipping is outrageous and I refuse to pay that (Beyer, Headphone Solutions).   There's gotta be somewhere that charges a more realistic fee for shipping....   Any help is appreciated.

    Anyone have the latest stable Rockbox firmware build for Sansa Clip v1?

    The file's not found when I try to download it from their site, and the installer can't find the file either. It's been missing for over a week, so I'm not sure when they're going to have it fixed.... meanwhile, my Clip has a partially installed Rockbox and won't boot properly.   Does anyone...

    Best sounding smallest player?

    I really need a tiny MP3 player I can use in the gym. I'd like something with the best possible sound, keeping in mind that I wasn't happy with the iPod Nano (kinda harsh, bright, lacking sub bass).   Something like a clip on, or can use an in-line remote would be great, but not absolutely...

    How do the 5th gen iPod Nanos sound?

    I just grabbed a cheap 1st gen 4GB Nano on eBay... needed a new battery, already installed it and it's working fine. However, I'm not quite satisfied with the sound this time around (I've had two of these in the past). Coming from the 2nd gen 16GB Touch I had before it, it's left me a...

    Anyone's ADDIEMs crap out on them yet?

    Mine have.... volume up/down doesn't work anymore. I haven't even used them in months, they've just been sitting in my night stand drawer... I'm gonna put my theory to the test and take them into the Apple store to see if I can get a replacement set.

    Inside the fake IE8

    Here are some photos I took of the driver found inside a pair of fake IE8s. Looks like it has the 'tuner port', which is surprising. I would have expected to find just a screw that turns nothing at all. Shame the driver itself is garbage, so there's nothing to adjust. I didn't find turning...

    Just got the Klipsch S4i - where's the metal case???

    I must say I'm pretty damn disappointed when I opened my package and didn't find the metal case the S4 comes with. How can they possibly justify not including it with these? I'm already paying extra for the inline remote, so I don't see why the metal case isn't still included. Argh!!! I'm...

    Looking for HEAVY music

    I need more variety for my workout music. Been listening to Gojira, but I'm getting tired of the same 3 albums I've been listening to. I like really HEAVY/ANGRY music for working out to. But I don't like whining, screaming, guitar wanking (needless soloing). Not a fan of the orchestral metal...

    Difference in audio quality between iPhone 3G and Touch v2

    Has anyone who owns both, or has owned both, noticed the difference in sound between the two?? I really liked the sound of my iPod Touch v2. It was balanced, had just the right amount of all frequencies, and sounded great through my UM3X. I recently picked up a 16GB iPhone 3G, and the...
