I have a pair of vintage shelf speakers hooked up at my cottage similar to the picture below. They're currently hooked up to a stack of stereos that are all blatantly broken in one obvious way or another. Some of them only have one channel, some of them are casette players that will not even...

I have a pair of HiFiMAN RE-400 IEMs that probably don't see as much use as they could because I find them at present very uncomfortable, although I like the sound. My main problems are:   If I leave them in my ears normally so that the cord points down, I get horrible microphonics and the...

Just received these IEMs in the mail, and I have to say that right off the bat they sound like ****, complete ****. Not just lacking bass, but no bass, extremely tinny, for some reason the sound sounds excessively distant / weak as if they aren't even in my ears, basically all the telltale signs...

Listen to many different and opposing genres, classical, heavy metal, techno, classic rock, blues, country, so neutrality is important. Occasionally I play games with headphones so I would like as big of a soundstage as I can reasonably get for this price. I want to use them primarily for...

Not sure if I'm alone in this but it has been bothering me for a long time. I normally use a standard 2.1 stereo speaker system for listening to music, and open-back headphones for listening on the go. I want to switch to in-ear monitors for casual listening, but I find that as soon as I put...

I spent a good solid month looking for and trying out over-ear headphones in the ~$200 range, and ended up discovering that there is no headphones in that range that are closed back, very comfortable, and sound good, they all have some major draw back that turn me off, so I'm thinking I'll just...

A little while ago I purchased a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50s, and although the sound quality was decent the mids sucked, the ear-pads didn't go all the way around my ear, and the headband clamped way too hard on my head causing jaw cramps during long sessions, so I took them back. I am...

Long story short, earlier this month I purchased the popular ATH-M50 set of headphones. They clamp on my jaw too hard, they don't even come close to fitting my ear inside so they rub on my ear lobes, and the mids are awful, despite the very good lows and highs.    I can still return them to...

After being recommended to these headphones by a large amount of people I just went to amazon.ca and queued up an order for them, only to notice right before checking out that they said they were DISCONTINUED. These caught me completely by surprise because not only are there really easy to find...

I don't even understand what is happening so I'll just explain the situation. I've been fixing headphones for friend of mine for a few months now, and yesterday a friend of mine came to me with a pair of Monster DNA earbuds (they look like...

Here's the rundown of my problem, I am recabling a pair of headphones for my friend, the headphones involve a Y-Split with one cord going to each cup, and I did it the wrong way by cutting the cable so that there is 1 long cable coming from the jack, and two short cables coming from each cup...

I'm recabling a pair of headphones for my friend using Mogami 4 conductor microphone cable and an Amphenol KS3P stereo mini jack, but I ran into a glaring issue with this jack that I have never seen before. For some reason instead of having a hold drilled though the sleeve for you to put the...

To start things off, I have a lot of experience repairing electronics in general, I have a very nice Hakko soldering station, and I have repaired headphones quite a few times before, but this time I want to do a high quality job so I have some questions for the DIYers here.   What cable is...
