Eureka! I tried again with the blob of solder, it kind of worked but not 100%. Anyway I get sound out of both sides so I'm happy :) Probably the worst soldering job in the world though. Here's the end result:  

I'm attempting to solder a new plug onto my old ES7. After stripping the cable, I get 3 colored wires. I untwist these one by one and cut off the fibers. How am I supposed to remove the colored coating from the wires??   I've tried using a lighter but then the copper wires break and/or get...

It probably doesn't belong in this topic but I have a quick and easy question regarding soldering a new mini jack to a cable, since I just bought a Neutrik NYS231BG for my old ES7.   The cable of the ES7 is really thin. Will soldering and using some heatshrink make the connection strong...

After my ATH-ES7 broke I stubbornly bought the Beats online after spending hours on this forum thinking I love bass and I don't care what people say.   Spent the money, received the package, opened it and listened to the phones for about 10 songs. Put them in the box again and sold it 1...

Hahaha awesome :)

Sorry jjinh, I was talking about my last questions. And of course I'm trying to upgrade the prestations.   Been using the search for hours but cannot figure it out.   Quote:

Anyone?

Those ES10's look really attractive! First topic I see somebody mentioning them.   How is the sound leakage compared to the ES7? I expect similar? (very little to none) What are the sound differences between the 2? (Or why is it better?)   Also, will it have the "goofy" look like the...

Quote: Yeah I took a look at them already and they look more comfy but I really don't like that wooden look... Else I would have insta-bought them.   I am willing to spend $350 and it's important that they have superb "no-sound-leakage". (Like the ES7) It's for daily outside use.

Thinking about replacing the cable with APureSound cable... And why is nobody interested in my topic

Sorry to bump this topic but I have a cable problem with my ES7 and looking for a replacement.   I have no idea what or which one to buy on their site. Advice? Also take a look at my other topic while you're at it please

Okay lol, despite all the bashing of the Beats by Dr Dre headphones everywhere around this forum, I went ahead and bought them anyway. I thought "what do I know about sound? If everybody who isn't an audiophile loves it, I'm sure I will too...". The reviews on youtube make them look amazing.  ...

Oh yeah and I listen about anything. From psytrance to metallica, classical, hip hop, drum n bass, etc...   I know they cost too much but if you don't care, it doesn't matter I just want something I love   En dag landgenoot (Antwerpen)

I like the ATH-M50's and they seem to be popular around here, although I noticed on a pic that it has a long iron plug? Wouldn't be handy since I use a BlackBerry for music which sits horizontally in my jeans pocket, so that wouldn't fit...   Also, is Beats anything compared to this...
