I have a similar set of speakers a model up (the X-530s) that do the same thing. As far as I know, there is no way to use the volume control to adjust the headphone volume. I was disappointed with this fact when I got them, but just lived with it. If you can find a way to "fix" it, then go for...

No problem, just hope that whatever's wrong is cheap to fix

Given that it happened just out of the blue, I'm unsure. I'm going to hope you have a Digital Multimeter and know how to use it. I can think of a few possibilities for what might be the problem. It sounds like a big, clean break somewhere: First off, check for continuity on the actual plug by...

I've yet to get an actual price on fixing the Missions. I did, however, find out the model of the Clements. They're the 208di model. I'm still wondering which would be the better buy, as aside from the damaged woofer and tweeter in the Missions, both pairs are in good condition. Still no...

I've been looking around the local stores lately (I don't really have the option of online buying) for a new set of speakers to replace the Sansui SFX-9s I have now. I can't seem to find much. There's a $175 set of Clements that I don't know the model of in a pawnshop. They look exactly like...

I've had a few good deals: Sony MDR-V500: Retail $100; got them for $20 (Had to glue right ear back due to bad design [owners of these will know what I mean.]) Also, if anyone knows, how do you open these to get at the drivers? AKG K130: Retail $80?; got them for doing some work for a...

...bassheads (adjustable for those of us who are not) and have overall fairly clean sound. At low volumes, however, I find them extremely directional* (and while this could be the room I'm using them in, I doubt it.) The rear speakers are also fairly quiet. They're not exactly bad, they're just...

I have a set of the Logitech X-530s. Got them at the local futureshop (Regular: $119CAD) and won't buy them again (you can't replace the cables on them either.) Just yesterday I listened to my friend's monitors (Celestion 3 MKII) with a song I THOUGHT I knew well, having made it myself. In one...

Really I'm looking for something that will provide a large improvement over my current setup. More or less, something I won't have to upgrade for a long time (I don't yet have MIDI, but if I decide to put time into learning to play the keyboard, I very well might.) If the 192 is a cut above the...

Which card would work better for me? I do a little bit of audio production, so the MIDI-In of the Audiophile would be useful. I currently have my headphones and some 5.1 speakers (ditching those soon for some monitor speakers.) I am currently using my onboard sound. I have the output of my...

Heyy... they've got the E2C's now... on sale for $110 today... I've been wondering for a while if these are any good, and have been tempted to get some for a while. How do they compare to the Sennheiser HD545?

Getting a copy of this would be greatly appreciated!

Don't have a Stax setup, but it'd be interesting to see what my cans can do. If at all possible, please provide the link, it would be greatly appreciated. ~Merry Christmas~

...and pitiful treble. For $60, they're junk. 2. Sony MDR-V150: Similar sounding to the V300s. For $30, they're also junk. 3.. Apple iPod buds: *Shudders* I used to think these had decent sound... but after not hearing them for several years (and getting my V500's and later my HD545's) they're...

Surely someone must know...?

I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD545s, and the left ear is a lot quieter than the right. I once read a manual on how to open up the HD580/600s and fix the jack-spring problem that way. The problem is, that way requires having the metal mesh on the back, which the 545s do not have. I am trying to...

It's weird, I'm only 16 and yet I'm the most paranoid person about hearing loss around where I live. I've always listened to music as quiet as possible, not knowing how loud is too loud. My friends, many of which listen to loud music, think that I'm insane. Plus, at the recent dance (at a...

I'd imagine that's fixable, but either way, get it done fast. I had a pair of speakers where the whole foam part (same are as what you're indicating) was ripped. A sock was holding the driver in place and it eventually got the point where I couldn't stand the sound. Granted, I got them that way...

you can probably find stuff on ebay if you trust online buying

Broken link. you have updated version?

Yeah I'm interested in this too. I got a pair of hd545s used and while there's no intermittency, the volume is more prominent in the right ear (irritatingly so.) At the moment I'm wondering what the best way to go about this mod would be on them (can't peel the back grill off like the one...

Something I've noticed with a lot of songs is that they're rather quiet, and instead of playing around with the volume of the sound output (which can be quite irritating as my playlist is often on random [quiet, quiet, OWLOUD]) Are there any programs that can boost the volume of said quiet...

Similar case here, I've lowered the gains (AC'97 EQ) on everything but the 100hz frequency to -1 and -2, but my Senns (HD545 Ref) just don't have much bass, so I've changed the 100hz band to about +7 and it still doesn't feel like it packs much bass if at all. I everything else sounds great though

Alright, thanks, sorry for not being clear enough (I meant is it the connector on the cable or the connector on the headphone itself) but thanks again
