    Etymotic ER2SE - A Reference Headphone for your Ears and Your Couplers

    Thank you for your reply! I did a few experiments with a few miniature mics in the past weeks and found that it is actually quite hard to achieve comparable results with mics that are not specifically designed for that purpose. It appears that even the protection grid at the tip of the mic can...

    General IEM Measurements Discussions

    Hey there, may I ask how some of you managed to fit a regular 1/2" microphone all the way in into a 711 coupler? I have two units from Taobao, purchased maybe 3 years ago, No. 20282 and No. 20311. The diameter of the opening is about 13.2 mm at first but then tapers down to around 12 mm due to...

    Thanks for the feedback! :) I will try to feed my data to AutoEQ and see what it spits out. Regards, Strangelove

    Recording Impulse Responses for Speaker Virtualization

    Hey there, can you use Impulcifer to match two different headphones, as well? Can it match both frequency and (linear) phase response from A to B? And will it include crossfeed between the ears (LL+LR / RR+RL)? Would welcome your response. :) Regards Strangelove

    Brainwavz Pads for AKG 700 Series?

    Hey there, have you made experiences with Brainwavz mounted on some AKG 7** like the Q701 or K702? I'm looking for something with more depth for comfort but without compromising the soundstage or tonal balance too much. Thanks in advance :) Regards Dr. S.

    Relatively cheap headphone measuring kit?

    Hey guys, do you know another source for 711 couplers other than taobao? I'm considering to get a pair for my measuring head. Not sure if its worth the effort to simulate the ear canals though. Just trying to get some repeatable relative over ear measurements. Regards Dr. S.

    SRH840 impression

    I'd recommend the hybrids. They sound more neutral to me.

    SRH840 impression

    Just a short feedback: tried my 840s with the Brainwavz Hybrid now and found them to be very comfy and neutral in terms of frequency response. Isolation is quite decent, as well. The pleather version was just awful. It messed up with the soundstage and made the Shure way too muffled overall...

    SRH840 impression

    Hey there! Micro Suede or Hybrid - which Brainwavz pad would you recommend on the SRH840 for best neutrality? Just tried the Pleather oval today but it made the sound way too boomy :/ Regards, Strangelove

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I recommend working with some proper 3.5mm plugs by Neutrik. You can fix the whole wiring inside the housing by using headshrinks. Should be enough for most cases. There are also high quality plugs by e.g. Amphenol oder HICON which come with rubber grommets for kink protection / strain relief...

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Had this issue on the thicker vanilla cable, even without the adapter. At the moment I am using the thinner cable. When the second one breaks as well, I will just chop the damn thing of and resolder it to some proper neutriks... So sad that a company that is well known for its high-end and...

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Hey there, just a short recap regarding my cable replacement: I have received the thinner headset cable (Replacement Cable for Sennheiser HD477 HD497 HD212 EH250 EH350) in the meantime and found it to be really stiff. Unfortunately its braided respectively coated the same way as my Degauss...

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Just a short recap regarding my cable: Kindly the seller offered me a replacement. As a workaround I'm using the thinner (mobile) cable atm. It appears to be much lighter and easer to handle. However, I'm not sure how long it will stand mechanical wear. If both fail, I will finally go for an...
