They seem like they would be difficult to remove. I'm not even sure if it's intended, which is a bit unfortunate considering the MSRP of these headphones. Ear pads eventually break down, so if these can't be replaced, that puts a finite time line on the longevity of these. Not that I'm...

Does anybody have insight on aftermarket cables (with or without mic, already looked at eBay, cable connection is quite recessed so not all cables will work) or replacing the ear pads on these? Just got a new pair of these and the mic cable is really finicky (e.g. crap at maintaining a quality...

Unless Klipsch has improved the durability of their IEMs, I would pick up the HF5 (or maybe give the Phonak PFE a whirl. I haven't tried it personally but it seems to be a well-liked IEM in this general price point). With Klipsch gels the HF5 is one of my favorite IEMs, being comfortable...

Posting to let you all know that as of the 22nd v3.0 for Winamp has been released (Which also means support for MediaMonkey and AIMP2, among others).

After using this for a few days, I can definitely tell this version of BS2B is much improved over previous ones. Usually I'll turn on BS2B for a while, maybe 3 days or so, and then I'll turn it off for a while because it starts to grate on me. However, I've found that I don't mind having...

The BS2B plugin for foobar2000 has been updated as of April 7th. SourceForge.net: Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP for foobar2000 Additionally, on April 22nd v3.0 for Winamp (supporting MediaMonkey and AIMP2 also) was released. SourceForge.net: Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP for...

I got the materials together to do the fiberloft pad mod on my D5000s yesterday, making the pads 33%-50% thicker. Noticeable differences: Slight weight increase, slight increase in clamping pressure Larger sound stage, mostly in width but slightly in depth Due to the slight angle of the...

I'm actually kinda' wishing I got the blue now. It's a very nice look. Earlier today I was listening to music as usual, and I caught myself waiting for certain parts of songs to muddy up or bass hits to "thud" instead of hit, which is what had always happened before. The K.I.C.A.S. was able...

I would pick the Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S. Caliente here. It's already known to work well with the HD650, and I can't help but imagine it would pair superbly with the HFI-780 for two reasons. 1) The Caliente has absolutely superb control over the low end spectrum. 2) The HFI-780 is somewhat...

Wanted to throw up some pictures of my K.I.C.A.S. Sorry for the camera phone quality. After listening all day, all I can say is the tonality and P.R.a.T. is killer with this amp! (BTW, that's an unmodded Denon D5000, but it will soon have the pad mod applied once I get some fiberloft in next...

I would like to commend Oriel and Peter for creating a product which thrills from the moment you pull it out of the box. I received my K.I.C.A.S. just before lunch today and I must say I am nothing but thrilled with the combination of the K.I.C.A.S. and my D5000s. Fed through the E-MU 0404...

Lamb is good stuff, but my all-time favorite has to be Elk. Absolutely delicious with great texture. It's a bit harder to find for the average person though, so I usually content myself with turkey, beef, and chicken. Ham has to be my least favorite (Although everybody loves bacon). I'm also a...

Happy Birthday, Larry.

HFI-780 is a good bet, but yours ears might get a bit hot. Clamping can be fixed by bending the top headband and/or leaving the headphone stretched out over some books for a day or two. The Atrio M5 or Klipsch Image X10 (Little more expensive) is a very solid bet. If you could stretch your...

I agree with you on the recessed mids, but it's more the strength of the treble and bass than anything. A simple EQ will do the trick (dip after 30 Hz down to about -3 dB by 250 Hz, raise to -1.5 dB about 1500 Hz, lower to -2 dB at 2000 Hz, keep at 0 dB from 3000 to 4500 Hz, drop down gradually...
