My trusty daily-driver Sennheiser HD201 has pads that get used every day for years and years and years and they're fine. My Grados -- I have a bunch from SR60 to SR 325 -- seldom get used and not only do the pads rot but they poo sticky dust all over everything when they do. If Sennheiser can...

Hello. Where do I post to ask about wireless headphones (900mhz)? Here? What's the good one these days, that doesn't cost as much as a car? And, if there's a step-up distancewise from 900mHz I'd love to hear about that too. Thank you kindly.

Hello.   What do you like for small buds that cost almost nothing?  When I run power tools and lawnmowers I try to put my Sansa Clip buds in and then industrial ear muffs over them but the Sansa buds have long legs that lever the buds out when the muffs come on.   Mostly podcasts, no bass...

I've never used an ipod so maybe this question has no relevance, but it appears that ipods come with equalization presets.   Presumably, one of those presets is "none".   Is "none" actually a preset eq intended to equal-ize the earbuds that are provided with the stock ipod?  Or is it...

Hello there.  I hope that you are well and enjoying life in general.   Does anyone have the manual for the Advent / Recoton 900mHz wireless headphones model W500 or similar? The ones with that flying-saucer-like antenna on the transmitter...   If you do, would you care to share the...

I need a respectable pair of general-purpose headphones, and one of the Sony MDR-RF985RKs that people are unloading on ebay seem to be a perfect choice.  I've never been really stiffed by Sony.   Although, that's not to say it couldn't happen.  These cans apparently have non-user-replaceable...

It appears to me that the ghettoizing of recommendations into a single thread has killed the service of requesting and receiving recommendations.  It doesn't work.   I could see designating a forum for recommendations, if you want to take them out to the stream of everything else.  But...

Major advance today.   I had been using Audio-Technica ATH-M20 for a monitor for recording vocals.  Why?  Decent price, covered the ears and didn't leak too much, no knucklehead bass, just a plain ham-and-eggs set of isolation cans.   But today I just got tired of that tangly coil cord...

Hello.   I use Audio Technica ATH-20 for tracking -- it's cheap and it's closed.  But unfortunately it has a curly cord, which I just don't like.   I can easily get any kind of cable I want but if anyone would be so kind as to help me with some advice on how to get inside these things...

Some while ago, I was casting about for some headphones that I'd use mostly for voice:  Radio, tracking vocals on recordings, podcasts and books, and so forth.   Everything that I tried or was recommended to me had some kind of ugly bass boost.  Maybe when I was 13 I would have wanted bass...

After several years of brutal abuse and several pad and plug replacements, my trusty Sony lightweight phones finally expired.  I can't even tell you what they were, they went out in the trash already.   And goshdarnit, I can't find anything like them to replace them with.  Everything now is...

Hello,   I just searched a few dozen threads here and it looks like I need to ask my own question.   I seldom miss things that I lose but I really miss my wireless headphones.  I could live with them on; zooming around the house, in the shop, on the porch, streaming radio or music or...
