    Is the Aeon #padgate finally coming to an end?

    The Aeons (all models, as far as we know) have a well known issue with the pads. The foam under the leather of the pad rolls out of shape, causing the pads to bulge in unexpected ways. If it's not clear what you're looking for: look for the sharp seams in the leather that don't line up with...

    How to repair Fostex TRP50 gimbal suspension slider?

    I'm trying to repair my Mad Dogs / Fostex TRP50s. The left connector between the suspension and the cup has snapped. I've bought a replacement "1412000501 Fostex Headphones Slider Holder" part, but now I can't figure out how to separate the cup from the suspension (first image). Does anyone know...

    What are your minimum (physical) requirements for a great headphone?

    I'd expect these to be pretty universal, but maybe there's some differences? Let's leave out in-ear headphones for now, which are custom mold or bust. Must be circumaural for comfort. (I own two on-ear Grados and they're unwearable for long periods (the Grado rattle doesn't help). And none of...

    Please implement a fixed width layout :)

    Many people are browsing on wide screen monitors. Having the forum reading width stretch to 100% of the width of the page lowers reading comprehension. I think this point is obvious and doesn't need anything to back it up, but I guarantee you some people won't understand why. Just consider that...

    "Best" way to store 8+ full size headphones for easy access?

    I'm working on organizing my workspace. I have between 8 and 12 full sized, over ear headphones. I'd like to implement some sort of setup to have all 8 be easily available to me at my desk. I have room under the desk to attach things, and plenty of desk space to put stands on. Because of the...

    Momentums are Beats

    I've tried several pairs of Momentums, including the newest ones. They sound bad. They very obviously distort the audio signal with a poor frequency response. From a marketing standpoint, Sennheiser is trying to compete with Beats, apparently so much so they're willing to sacrifice quality.  ...

    Are there any headphones / mods that let you switch between closed and open backed?

    I was looking into the custom one pros and after trying them out in a store, it's incredible what the size of a little hole in the bottom can do to the quality of the sound. Really stunning change! And since so much of headphone preference is your own personal tastes, it got me to thinking...
