I know virtual simulated surround isn’t for everyone. If you are team stereo, perhaps give it another shot after checking out this video which highlights that one of the reasons you may have thought it sounded bad was more due to the poor implementation of the processing rather than the...

Hey All, As a new recruit on Head-Fi I wanted to introduce myself and open a thread so that someone might push me in the right direction/threads. I have owned and whittled down over the years many headphones and now have some great options, getting the best out of something is where I find joy...

Hey all i recently got some e2c's...they seem to sound quite good and all and i am quite happy with them, but i would like to know if i can get more out of them. I am currently trying out the silicon sleeves and have given the foamies a bit of a go. Basically if i have inserted them...

Hi. I recieved my md33's about 5 days ago now, after tossing up between them, the e2c and the ex71/81... Basically i got many recommendations about these phones and so i decided to try them. They are also my first high-end (ish) ear buds/phones, and all i can say is what a difference...

Howdy, Just wondering what you guys reckon here. There seems to be good support more or less for both phones. I'll be using them for some travelling...plane/train...and also at home, cause i dont have any higher end full sized cans (just got some sharp Md33's....i rate em too btw :P)...but...

Hi, I am interested in getting involved in building a few cables, infact i've done a few, but only with some cheaper jacks and 4-core audio cable that i found at my local dick smith....they aint bad, but.... Just wondering if anyone in Au (i'm in Sydney btw) has bought Canare products and...

Hi, This is a DAC i picked up...USB, i didn't build it and it has a MONO output :O...wondering if anyone who knows anyone about circuitry can help me. Basically in the attachment you can see there are two outputs marked L and R (on the opposite side of the board)...but underneath (i dont...

Howdy, Just ordered the Sharp MD33 hearbud's...and i've heard the 4 to 3 pole adaptor is 1 metre long, which could become a tad annoying in some situations....so does anyone know where i can find an in-line 4pole 1/8" socket. I've found one site here If anyone is interested, But i...

Look, i have NO idea really with electrical components and circuitry...lol All i can say is that my brother has 3 of these logitech headsets. They plug into the USB slot of the PC/PS2 and have a speaker and microphone attached...2 of these have broken so i opened em up. THere are a bunch of...

Hi, I have recently ordered some MD-33s and will most likely be using these for my travel usage, however at the end of this year i am going to england from australia and around europe so that is a MASSIVE total of like 48+ hours flying i'd say. So, although MD33s may well be the best option...

Hi, Currently i am using my laptop headphone socket..and it sucks (surprise surprise)...so i'm going to be buying some md-33s and maybe some full cans down the track, but probably nothing really really expensive, not for a long time. So bascially i want a cheap external sound-card. I've...

Howdy, I posted a thread before between the Ex-81 and shure e2c...basically i've decided not to go with e2c, because the majority said that without EQing decently (i have an ipod btw)...they aren't the best out there. Then again maybe that is wrong..but at this stage i wont be trying the...

Hi, Wasn't sure whether to put this under DIY or PC-as-Source....its kinda both...here should be ok. I just wanna know, that say if i get my hands on Guzzler's USB DAC or the like, what else i need exactly. As far as i am aware, i would need a headphone amp kinda regardless of what...

Hi, i am looking at purchasing some new canal phones, and i'm probably going to go with the e2c's (because of price and from what i've read a lot of ppl think they're O.k....with the right eq etc.) However, i was reading the ipod buyers guide and it rated the e2c's a B....fair enuf, compared...

Hi, Basically, i usually listen to my laptop through speakers, but plugged some heaphones in that i had lying around when i started reading though this site. I play to upgrade, but firstly there is 'hum' rather badly on the heaphone jack. I've read this is only cause when the AC jack is in...

Hi, My iPod headphones are starting to break, well one of them anwyay; cracks like u wouldn't believe with any sort of bass. SO then i started looking around and found this and some other sites, and now feel a tad ashamed to have ever used the iPod phones :P (buds i suppose). So i'm...
