I noticed some channel imbalance in my 990's and decided to disassemble the drivers to see if there was anything wrong. Noticed there was quite a bit of hair in there and started plucking that out but the more layers I removed there was always yet more hair. After a while of dicking around I put...

The greatest argument I have against myself when I want to cheap out on audio equipment is that, unlike computer equipment, audio purchases are never truly lost. They can be resold, rediscovered later, used for decades, etc. I'm realizing now how horribly treacherous that is. The equipment I...

+/- $50, need to replace those AD900 with something closed.

Full-size cans are ok but I need isolation. Was using the AD900's but my computer is making too much noise and it's distracting me/giving me a short attention span. Put the RE0 back on (cable up) and it was a revelation. any ideas?

I cycled through way too many headphones. I honestly tried to like them. Keep going back to my cheap and reliable hifiman RE0's. (Skip to the bolded part if you don't wanna hear about my experience in audio ) From K81, to MS1i, to SRH-840 in a very short time. At first I loved the...

Is there anything good in that price range? Neutral if possible, for use with a computer.

Is travagan's red still a good deal in terms of power and transparency? I'm also looking at Headfive, Maverick D1, Cute Beyond and maybe others I'm forgetting. Talk of the travagan red is mostly a few years old already so I wanna know if there's a flaw that's been discovered, a better deal...

When I use the uDAC with my windows 7 machines, I get this strange clipping/crackling sound like every 10-20 seconds or so. No matter what media player I use, whatever protocol, it doesn't go away. Now I tried the uDAC on an old XP computer and the glitches just went away. Anyone have any...

I wonder what the sophisticated people at Head-fi are reading.

150-200$ used would be cool. I rather closed all things being equal. I do not want anything that comes close to being muddy. I like my mids and highs. Kind of like a full-size equivalent of the hifiman RE0. I'm looking at the Shure 440/840, AKG K240/K271 and Alessandro MS1 for now.

Help me put a model name to my description. A headphone that has articulated and controlled bass with sufficient quantity. It should present honestly the booming riffs of an electronic tune but it should also play the soft notes of organ player with due sophistication. A headphone that...

I have heard someone complain that his right channel is louder than the left one and I think I have found the culprit. I think it may also be the cause of the "bass disappearance" cases. The new "L" plug for the cable seems very shoddy. I received mine and it was already broken. When I mess...

Since I lost my Creative Zen V to the washing machine, I've been "stuck" lugging around a (still sizable) PSP Slim. I can't really compare the SQ against other portable sources and don't really have reference headphones yet. I know that the PSP fat is largely documented as having mediocre...

I need something that isolates just a little bit for use around the computer. I'll be doing some skype conferences on them so I need to hear myself talk a bit. Not too open or the sound will bleed onto the microphone. I just got the AKG K81's for portable use and I really like the sound of...
