You meet new people every time you change jobs, and every job has different people. At my current job, there's probably only two staff members who I'd peg as caring about sound quality.   Anyway, Yesterday I went to send my K518's to Forza Audio Works for recabling and people kept asking why...

There's Russ Andrews Audio if you're in the UK, but it's rather pricy. My second hand K701's were recabled by them before I bought them and it's a really decent job.

Hi head-fi forums, I'm looking for a new portable media player as my Zune HD 64GB died a sad death a month ago. Currently I'm using my phone (Nokia 510) as a replacement, but I want something more. What I'm looking for is a PMP that: Small/Light/Compact with good/decent battery life Has an...

cut the cable down to the size you want! If I remember, it's just Mini-XLR, so EK300 or EK500 may be more to your needs, if you need shorter or wish to have a non-stock cable, then I'm sure you'll also find customer cables in a variety of lengths.

Is this just a cable breaking, or complete failure? I've only had one headphone ever just "fail" on me in my time. Me and cables don't get on well through, Usually the cabble starts to break at the jack, and I have to replace it. Most cables last me for daily use about 2-6 months. when I use...

Hey there, just got a soldering iron again after moving house (lost my old one) Looking to replace the cable on the ATH-EM7's I have, and figured it was better to bump this thread than to make a new one. Anyway, looking at the headphone itself, I see no real way to open it. It has three screws...

Quote: Stop your trolling ! Budget IEM's are nowhere near from the S2/X1's i recieved today, there's a large gap between that sound signature out of the box and some budget IEM's, if you listen to a band like Tool or Isis you'd understand the large gap, as the mids are hella muddy in...

Quote: Yo !, sorry to sort of hijack this thread, but...The K450 are my favourite portable, anyway, he answered it above, but the true answer is! The cable is a 2.5mm -> 3.5mm, but the barrel is much longer and thinner with the bayonet at the top to keep the lock in...It was a hard...

I need a little help. Payday has hit..and last week the cable on my K450 started to die...not so much of a problem as I have a few headphones as backup but I love the K450. The only problem with the K450 is..the cable is not so easy to find and thomann.de sell one...with a minimum order price...

not much help... In college they taught me one thing when using a mic...wrap the cable around your hand at the top... I always used the same theory for headphones, However, not so possible... similar to the shirt clip.. I simply place the cable under my shirt/t-shirt...rarely recieve any...

go here for the W2893...You should be able to get a large bulk of it from here...Don't know how much shipping will set you back though... The thing I couldn't get from there however was techflex, and I'm getting a feeling I may have to look elsewhere for it, but I got cable/jacks from there...

I'll say ZHD. Use the K81's myself with it, personally not used a touch with a LOD, but love the way the zune sounds, and love the UI + Usability more... Apps also meant nothing to me...either that or Sony X series...got to try a few at work, but I personally don't like the UI...

Hi, This is my first post, so I hope it's in the right section, I'm looking for some advice and help. I have a pair of K518's that have a broken cable where the jack used to be, thanks to a friend of mine. However I'd love to fix the cable (as it's intact) or recable the...
