Interesting posts guys. I was not aware of the power problems due to my headphones being of low impedance. I've played around with using a single lower Q digital PEQ notch setting and it didn't sound as good, nor chart out as nicely. Interesting that you brought up sennheiser. I used a...

Right now, I am using IIEQ through Foobar2K w/ VST plug in. I am interested in getting the same effect but for all programs and figured a hardware solution would do this as I haven't found a soundcard level software that could do it. I have zero experience with...

I've been studying the noise profile a bit more and it seems to occur everytime my CPU spikes to any magnitude (doesn't have to be 100% cpu usage). The frequency of the noise is roughly 500 hz (a "c" above middle "c" on the piano tuned slightly flat along with the stereotypical "hiss". Just...

I'm pretty new to the headphone community since I typically listen to my high-end stereo (which is boxed up for the moment). I am using my Dell e1505 laptop as source and the onboard sound solution seems to inject some random occasional noises into my music (especially when I listen at low...
