the left driver of my DT770 pro 80 Ohm started buzzing around. i assume some hair got inside between the foam-cover and the driver because the buzz changes with different pressure. i also had the same effect with my old koss porta pro. first i also thought the driver was broken, but then i found...

well, i am looking for some speakers for the garden, for the beach etc. that are small but with big sound. i know the high rated jbl on tour and this is not what i am after. they should produce a bit of bass too. i have already lots of portable speakers at home. tivoli ipal, logitech mm50...

i want to record some DVD-tracks for my mp3-player. although i have line-in and recording-function, i would prefer to encode them to ogg vorbis (my player only records mp3). so i thought there might be some tool that can rip audio from a DVD. does anyone know such a program? either freeware or...

first of all i cannot claim of myself to be an overexperienced headphile, but i have already heard a couple of headphones that i liked or disliked and i have various headphones at home, that i still use quite often, amongst them sennheiser hd25-1, sennheiser px100, koss porta pro, koss ksc35...

today i wanted to try the akg k 24 p and had a short listen inside the store and bought them. the akg k 24 p and k 26 p belong to the new series of akg's street-phones. the k 24 p is an open-type headphone, whereas the k 26 p is closed. to tell the truth i don't like the sound of the k 26 p...

can someone explain to me acoustically why the bass disappears as soon as you lose the seal with your tips. what is the physical explanation for this? is this some kind of acoustic short-circuit? that means that the backside out-of-phase sonic waves kill the in-phase waves that go inside the...

here the Porta75: here the 75Pro: the story behind: today i got my brand new koss KSC-75. i already had the koss porta pro which i like very much for portable use and i prefer it over the px100, because it is easier to drive than the sennheiser and has a smoother sound, that...

Yesterday as i wanted to test the IE3 at a local distributor they told me that the sennheiser IE3 (which is actually the same as the FutureSonics EM3) has been dropped and a new model will come out soon, so after requesting more information about it, this is what came today from them: edit...

as i am looking for some nice portable headphone, and i don't want to walk around with my HD25 on the street i wanted to test the new AKG K 26 cans, that i saw some days ago for the first time. an old guy, maybe around 50 or 60 was wearing them and i thought they could be nice, so yesterday i...

i have a sony ex71sl now which i use because of the short cord, that is perfect for use with a remote control. but i prefer the sound of my sennheiser hd25 much more, unfortunately the wire is much too long for portable use even when using it directly from the source. now i find the hd25 also...

hi! i am looking for a suitable recorder for field-recordings and thought about the new Hi-MD minidisc recorders from sony as they also can record uncompressed now. i like NH900 best, so would choose probably this one. i read in the manual that you can choose either manual recording level...

i bought the sony mdr-ex71sl some time ago, because i was looking for some earphones that don't fall out of my ears, and as i am used to ear-muffs because i sometimes sleep with them when in loud enviroment, i liked the fit of the sonys quite a lot. i had a short listen in the store where i...
