Hi, I've been using my Sennheiser HD595s almost exclusively since I got them a few months back. I had got them to replace my old SR-80s, as something was wrong with the cable. I had to jiggle it on occasion to regain sound through the left pad. Now, with some free time, I'm curious to...

Hi, Hopefully someone could help me out here. I've just upgraded to vista, the 64 bit version, but unfortunately now my audigy (first version) no longer works with the kx project drivers, so i'm in the market for a new soundcard. All that I'm looking for is a card for primarily listening...

Just to wrap up the thread... the wire proved impossible. Too fragile to strip and the solder, so I sent them to Grado and they replaced the driver. And they work beautifully once again. Missed them after relying on my px-100s for a little while.

well i got the diaphragm off without much trouble. no stretching or anything. however, when i was unwinding more wire from the voice coil one of them snapped right at the coil! bullocks. We have a jewellers eyeglass around here though and i think i can see where the break is, but i can't fish it...

I've elected to try to fix it myself, since I can't resist not trying. So, I brought the cups to this dude who owns an electronics repair shop down the way. He tested the current with a multimeter and said resoldering the wires wouldn't do it any good, and that it was likely that the wire from...

Thanks. Sorry for the newb questions, but I need just a little more detail. To disconnect and reconnect the wires I assume I sand down the old solder, remove the wires, solder the wires back properly so they're all attached again? Again, sorry for the newb questions, but I haven't soldered or...

The left channel on my SR 80s started to putter and then quit on me earlier this summer. I opened them up and found a few loose wires. I'm wondering if it's fixable, or should I go about investing in a new pair. I've never attempted to fix headphones before, but I imagine I need to solder the...

it won't work for you (unless you have SB Live! 5.1 and not just SB Live!), but it'll work for whoever else that's reading this thread that has a 5.1 card that's supported by the kX Drivers. With them, you can reroute the headphone output to the center/subwoofer channel. Useful if you have a 4.1...

Hi, Hate my first post to be a request, but I need some advice. With so many options out there in portable media these days I have no idea what i should get. I've researched a bit, trying to find out which has the best battery life, best quality sound, sturdiest, etc. but I still don't know...
