    What budget sound card/USB interface has the best electrical shielding?

    The fact of the matter is that the phenomenon does exist because I have it. I am not lying! I suffered from it all my life since childhood. Then, decades later I found out that my biological father also suffers from it (he didn't raise me so I didn't know this growing up). Neither of us had...

    What budget sound card/USB interface has the best electrical shielding?

    That's not helpful. Wikipedia reports it as a "pseudo science" because it's rare and has not been scientifically confirmed. If Wikipedia had been around three hundred years ago, it would have reported all electronics as pseudo science. It was certainly not a "pseudo science" which gave me...

    What budget sound card/USB interface has the best electrical shielding?

    I've always suffered from sensitivity to electrical fields. For example, I can't use telephones because if I put a telephone to my head I get a nasty pain after a few minutes. My problem's never been too bad with headphones and earbuds, and over the last ten years or so I've been very...

    Help! Why do some earbuds feel harsh and aggressive, like there's more power in them?

    Wow, that is a lot of helpful information, thank you, Pagan. I'm really glad I've been able to speak to you! :) That's very reassuring to hear. I've never met anyone else who is affected like fields like me. A lot of people just seem to think I'm crazy, and I've suffered a lot of abuse and...

    Help! Why do some earbuds feel harsh and aggressive, like there's more power in them?

    Thank you both so much for trying to help me, I really appreciate it. I sometimes get a lot of rude people mocking me for claiming to be sensitive to electrical fields - they think I'm a nut, or making it up. But believe me there's no way I would make this up. I hate the idea of having a problem...

    Help! Why do some earbuds feel harsh and aggressive, like there's more power in them?

    Hi Pagan, thanks for the reply! :) What you said about balanced connections and rings is interesting, but I don't think that can be the issue. I've just checked, and ALL my headphones seem to have identical plugs, with two black rings round them. The VE Monk Plus is no different and looks like...

    Help! Why do some earbuds feel harsh and aggressive, like there's more power in them?

    Thanks GREQ, but what makes you think those are MX 400s? My MX400s have a silver strip on the back, like this: http://en.goldenears.net/3161

    Help! Why do some earbuds feel harsh and aggressive, like there's more power in them?

    For the last 15 years I've been very happily using a pair of Sennheiser MX400 earbuds. They always felt gentle and comfortable, no matter how loud I had the volume. They recently broke and I've been looking for a replacement, but the two I've tried so far (the VE Monk Plus and Sennheiser MX365)...

    Best earbuds around $50 for music production?

    For the last 15 years I've been using a pair of Sennheiser mx400 earbuds (bought for $10). I've always been totally happy with them and would gladly buy another pair, but wondered if anyone can recommend something even better? Ideally under $50 (I don't have a lot of money). I'll be using them...
