    Earphones for my mother?

    Hey again, Head-Fi,   I haven't been here in a while.   I'm in the UK, budget's around £40.   Kinda out of the loop with regards to what's new, what's a deal, etc.   Anyhow she's looking for in-ear headphones. She's new to them so I'd like to put comfort first, and decent...

    Weird Rockboxed Sansa Fuze V2 issue

    A recent issue with my Sansa Fuze has been causing me a little confusion.   Disconnecting it seems to disable some of my USB connections including my external hard drive, DSLR, webcam, mic and DAC (but not my wi-fi adapter/keyboard/mouse).   I've never experienced anything like this...

    Need to choose a DAC: MF V-DAC vs. Audio-GD FUN vs Musiland Monitor 02 US

    I am currently considering DAC options for my Audio-Technica ATH-AD2000.   In various threads I've found both the V-Dac and the half as expensive Monitor 02 US described as equal to or even better than the Cambridge Audio DACmagic (I owned one when I had a balanced HD650 setup a few months...

    Can I replace the satellites in my Edifier S730 2.1 system with other speakers until I get a dedicated amplfiier for them?

    I currently have the Edifier S730, and I want to replace them because I want more powerful left/right speakers.   What I was considering (until I got my hands on a speaker amp), was running some Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 speakers from it.   The left/right stock speakers are replaceable...

    I need a replacement for my Nationite S:Flo 2

    Hi I currently have the Nationite S:Flo 2, which I use portably with my Pioneer HDJ-2000. I am looking for a replacement for this as while the sound quality is decent (and it was good value for money) a few things bother me:   No lock function, I have to wait a minimum of 6 seconds for...

    Wire getting hot on headphones?

    I know this is technically about a pair of portable headphones, but this would apply to headphones on the whole. The thing is I've never heard of this happening, and never personally had this issue, but my friend recently purchased a pair of KOSS PortaPros, and is complaining that the wire is...

    My Audio-Technica ATH-AD2000 need the 3.5mm plug replaced because the connection is loose. Can anyone help?

    Hello Head-Fi.... I've started to have issues with the 3.5mm plug on my AD2000s. When the strain relief of the 3.5mm plug bends, the signal crackles and/or cuts out.   Pretty much all I need is for someone to replace the plug with another 3.5mm somehow..   I would replace this myself...

    PC isn't picking up my DACmagic->>>headphone rig inactive :O:O help?

    I used Windows 7 professional 64-bit, and connect to my DACmagic with a USB cable. Everything was fine till just now when it decided it would delete the default driver "C-Media USB Speakers" or something along those lines....it's not on the list anyhow. I've tried restarting. It's not...

    How to upgrade from Little Dot MK VII (balanced amp) for my Audio Technica ATH-AD2000s?

    Now that I no longer have my Sennheiser HD650s, I now longer have any need for a balanced amp. Running AD2000s single ended is using only half of the amps two channels. It occured to me that I now have paid $440 for 4 amp channels, and would be better off selling it and buying a higher-end...

    What is the cheapest place to buy the Ultrasone PRO 900 in the UK?

    What is the cheapest place to buy the Ultrasone PRO 900 in the UK at the moment? iHeadphones had them for £260 a little while ago but I couldn't get them at the time. I'd like to try some :3

    I just needed some advice on what to do with this guitar speaker cabinet I plan on selling.

    So I bought a PRS on eBay, and the seller said he'd throw in his speaker cabinet if it went over £200, which it did. I want to sell it as I already have an amp. I don't really know anything about speaker cabs for guitars, or parts or anything. Some of the plastic corner things are cracked, and...

    What's wrong with my HD650s?

    The bass and stuff seems to be to the left instead of the center. I put them on backwards and it's centered more to the right, so it's not my ears. I was going to sell them (and keep my AD2000 because the bass seems to extend lower) and assumed it was just my ears/imagination until I put them...

    Where do I go from here?

    I currently have the Sennheiser HD650s (balanced), and the Audio Technica ATH-AD2000s which I bought out of curiosity about a week ago from MarkyMark. The problem now is that I bought them as a possible upgrade, and yet when I listen to one I can't stop thinking about what I like in the other...

    I found this strange image (kids toys thread)

    As a fan of both Transformers (particularly Beast Wars) and Thomas the Tank Engine as a kid, I was fairly confused when I found this image. I thought it might be interesting to make a thread about unusual toys.

    Not sure if this is an official picture or not

    Skullcandy are already known for making overpriced headphones, so they shouldn't encourage the wearers to further decrease the SQ. She's wearing them over her hair?

    Could my amp be picking up radio static?

    Static+something that could be a voice is quietly audible since I plugged my Audio Technica ATH-AD2000 into my Little Dot MK VII. It could just be static, but I was wondering if anyone else has got radio on their amp before. It's only on the left.

    Dragon Age: Origins

    There have been a few threads on games..but this one is a question, not a review. Anyway my rig is in my signature. I wanted to know if anyone else gets the harsh distortion in DA:O Especially with Shales attacks, like when she punches the floor.. I've decided to stop using her because...

    Closed equivalent of HD650?

    Lookin for a portable set I can use with my T51. Ideally it wouldn't have a high impedance, otherwise the battery won't last long at a good volume. Closed because I like isolation, and don't want to broadcast my music. For the record: I really like my balanced HD650, I liked the Grado RS1, I...

    Is my Little Dot MK VII actually single ended? What's going on??

    I have a Little Dot MK VII which I bought from Worldwide Chinese Headphone Amplifier Dealer, who are an authorised retailer. I believe I read somewhere that only 1/4" out is active when using input 2 (RCA in). I hadn't done any direct comparisons between balanced and unbalanced input until...

    DT770 vs DT990 (250/600ohm? Consumer? Balanced?)

    I have a DACmagic and Little Dot MK VII and am trying to choose between these two headphones as a second, to go with my HD650. Both the DT770 and DT990 are said to have a lot (or too much) of bass, and I've read descriptions of both being sibilant. From reviews I can tell the consumer...

    My Cambridge Audio DACmagic is making a weird whining noise. Is it faulty?

    It's making this vibrating high-pitched squeal which only goes away when I turn it off or momentarily when I press the filter change button. Having to hear this whenever sound from my HD650s isn't blocking it out is really getting on my nerves.. Is it faulty or am I going to have to get a...
