Shure SRH1540 Review
I might have to try that! I don't wear these headphones outside of my home so appearance isn't all that important. :beyersmile:- matt27

Shure SRH1540 Review
What are you using for your headband? Looks like foam taped to it? Does that work well? The two "pads" on my pair have completely come off. I tried super gluing them back on but that didn't hold for long. I am kinda desperate to find a new solution!- matt27

Philips Fidelio X2?!
I've had these headphones a few months now and I absolutely love them. I haven't used my other cans at all since getting these. However, sometimes I really need a closed back because of noise. Also, with summer coming up, my air conditioner will be going full blast, so there may be times where...- matt27

Shure SRH1540 Review
I just remembered that I had a 15' Canare headphone extension cable in my closet. I seem to remember it degrading the sound when using with another pair of headphones, but I can't tell a perceptible difference with the Shures.- matt27

Shure SRH1540 Review
I just picked up a pair of SRH1540s, and I was worried because I have a large head, but they fit just fine. Being bald probably helps. The cable is too short for my needs though. Can anyone suggest a longer replacement cable that won't cost an arm and a leg? I see a lot of cables on ebay...- matt27

Beyerdynamic DT-1770: Product Info, Discussion and Impressions
sorry to bump this but I would really like to know if anyone else has this or if I have a defective set. You can barely press on the right earcup and you can hear it creaking/flexing. The left earcup is solid with no creaking or flexing whatsoever. I can hear a creaking or crackling sound...- matt27

Beyerdynamic DT-1770: Product Info, Discussion and Impressions
I'm trying to decide between MDR-Z7 and the DT-1770. These would be used primarily for blu-rays and PS4/PC gaming. I've demoed the Z7s and was very impressed, but I've not heard the 1770s in person. If anyone happens to own/owned both what are your thoughts? I currently use the dt770 pro 80 but...- matt27

dt770 pro - 80 vs 250 (mostly for movies)
I currently use Ultrasone pro 900s plugged into my Yamaha rx-v371 receiver for blu-ray watching and pc/console gaming. They sound fine but they really become uncomfortable and fatiguing after wearing them for an extended time. I recently tried my nephew's dt770 pro/80s through my receiver...- matt27

Headphones you regretted buying the most
Denon D2000- Not because of the sound quality, they sounded great. but they broke in less than 6 months, and I treated them like a baby.- matt27

Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!
here's a pic of my broken D2000s There must be a screw inside there that holds the metal part of the headband onto the earcup holder. I can hear it rattling around in there. However, when I tried to remove those two screws that the blu arrows are pointing to, I stripped the crap out...- matt27

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
I'm guessing you're liking these cans with silent cinema eh? I feel your pain on the short cable. I haven't bought an extension cable yet. I don't want to spend a ton of money on one but I also don't want to cheap out and get something that will adversely affect the sound quality. Quote...- matt27

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
unfortunately it doesn't look like I have pure direct mode on this AVR, but I do remember reading in a manual for a different model that silent cinema doesn't work with pure direct on. Quote:- matt27

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
I've got the RX-v371BL which I believe is the entry level model of the 2011 series of yamaha AVRs. I am pretty much only using it for silent cinema so thats why I got the cheapest model. I also have an astro mixamp and to me personally silent cinema is much better than dolby headphone, but I...- matt27

I had a brief power outage at my house earlier, and my computer was on at the time. Now, whenever I use the USB audio input on the maverick I get popping and clicking sounds. I have tried multiple usb inputs and different cables and I still get the issue. My usb mouse and keyboard still work...- matt27

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
sorry about that; my comment was about the D2000s, not the 900s. The 900 build quality is definitely top-notch. My D2000s broke and I treated those things like a newborn. Quote:- matt27
