    Affordable Sennheiser HD 800 replacement cable? What mm spacing for 2-pin? Is it 75 mm? Help!

    Hi, my original HD 800 cable is no longer making a good connection and requires persistent frustrated jiggling in "just the right way" for me to be able to hear sound out of both ears. I'm looking for a Sennheiser HD 800 replacement cable that is actually affordable and not a significant...

    Best noise cancelling earbuds suited for sleeping in bed

    Try the Howard Leight by Honeywell MAX Disposable Foam Earplugs -- no audio source required and really good at blocking noise. Otherwise, look at the ATH-ANC23 and get Comply foam ear tips for it.

    Best trance headphones for $300 max (Sennheiser HD595 good?)

      After having the Sennheiser PX100, Etymotic ER6i, and Yuin PK3 die on me (the sound would only be heard out of one ear unless I jiggled the wire in a really specific way), I have decided to buy more reliable higher-end headphones because even after resoldering the connector on the Senns...

    Best active noise canceling headphones

    What's the general consensus on the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7? It looks cheap and people are giving it comparable reviews to Bose. I'm not wearing these for sound quality at all. Only to sleep.

    Best active noise canceling headphones

    What's the best active noise canceling headphones? I'm looking for the ones with the most comfort and the largest reduction in outside noise. I live in the loudest dorm on campus and I can't sleep because people are really noisy at 2 AM. I'm not looking for ones that go inside your ear. I had...

    Highest quality DAP with lots of space

    Or would the O2 be worth looking at? Is the sound quality better, worse, or the same? What are the differences? I noticed the objective sound quality tests at Audiophile MP3 players, by the numbers | MP3 Insider - CNET Reviews show that Cowon deliberately colors the frequency response curve a la...

    Highest quality DAP with lots of space

    Well how does the Cowon A3 compare to the Cowon U3 or the D2 in terms of sound quality? Is it any different?

    Highest quality DAP with lots of space

    What is the highest sound quality DAP with lots of space? I'm looking for high signal to noise ratio, flat frequency response (with good EQ options esp bass boosting), low harmonic distortion, among other things. I listen mostly to electronica but I also like stuff like classical and jazz...

    Pushed canalphone too far into ear

    Well, it turns out there is a good deal of bleeding in there and that there is a small tear in my timpanic membrane. I also got an audiogram, and I can't hear nearly as well for any frequency above 6 kHz in my right ear compared to my left ear. Is there any chance of this hearing loss being...

    Pushed canalphone too far into ear

    ****. Was there some sort of warning label in the manual that came with it?

    Pushed canalphone too far into ear

    I accidentally pushed one of the canalphones of my Etymotics Er6i too far into my ear. I didn't realize it was too far in until I tried to take it out when it HURT like crazy. I had to pull it out very slowly and the whole time I was pulling it out there was a sharp pain in my ear. After I...

    Noise isolation headphones

    I got stuck in the loudest dorm on campus for college next year so I'm looking for some good noise isolation headphones. Something with lots of isolation would be nice. I'm not sure which kind I want to get (in ear, closed, etc.) so I would like some help deciding. What are some good pairs of...

    sony mz-rh1 or kenwood hd60gb9

    From what I've read, it looks like all they did was add an extra filtering capacitor in series within their amplifier circuit. This serves as a better low-pass filter for removing noise from the line. You're going to end up with a cleaner signal. I don't see why any of the other DAPs couldn't do...

    Best sound quality high-capacity MP3 player?

    I lost my Creative Zen Touch 40 GB today which makes it a very sad day for me because I loved it. I just don't have any luck with this kind of stuff -- my two pairs of Sennheiser PX100 headphones both started only playing sound out of one ear, and they had the best sound quality of any portable...
