    Are the JVC HAR-X700 and 900 still the best budget cans?

    A few years back these were very popular as budget headphones under $60. Is this still the case or have they been dethroned?

    1/8" Stereo Plug Question...

    Those of you that solder 1/8" TRS plugs, do you use the included plastic sleeve or use heat shrink? I have found the body is very hard to thread on to the tip when I use the supplied clear plastic sleeve. Any pointers?

     Can anyone help me find some decent TRRS jacks? I need to replace a few shorts on my headphones and all I can find are really low grade jacks with large diameter bodies-which stink if using them with iphone, etc. I did find some on ebay that are nice, but they have very small soldering...

    Strain Relief??

    I bought some OEM 3.5mm Sennheiser jacks to redo some of my headphones. They are really nice, but they have no strain relief. I tried tying the cable in a knot, but it did not work. Any idea on what I can use for relief?

    Slim or Small 3.5mm Jack?

    I am having trouble finding small or slim profile 3.5mm stereo jacks for my recable job. I am talking about one that will work with cell phone cases, similar to the Apple earbuds jack. Most standard jacks have too wide of a base to allow it to seat properly. Anyone know of any? Thanks.  ...

    AC/DC Back In Black!

    I just wanted to see others who have this-what red blooded American doesn't? ;), and see if you are also disapointed in the recording quality. I have listened to the original CD, Remastered CD, iTunes Remasted release and all have a bit of warble if you will. It almost sounds like a low bit rate...

    Panasonic Customer Service!

    So I sent in a pair of Panasonic HTF-600 headphones for repair to Panasonic service center. The right driver was blown-would cut in and out, distorted etc. A week later I get a letter saying you did not include your receipt-which I did-so I faxed it over again. The next day this arrives from...

    Help with M50 Plug

    Just got my Audio Technica M50's today and am enjoying them except for one little issue. The base of the 3.5mm jack is too big for all of my phone cases and prevents the jack from fully seating into the phone. Other than not use my case, are there any options for a fix?

    Do the Panasonic HTF-600's and Audio Technica ATH-M50 have a similar sound signature?

    I currently have the Panasonic HTF-600 and have been eyeballing the M50's for a while but wanted to know if they are in the same ballpark as far as sound signature goes. I can't do really bright piercing highs-like the treble tone of the the Pannies but maybe just a tad more clarity- and would...

    Am I going nuts?(soundstage)

Many times with my headphones-JVC HARX700 and Panasonic HTF600's the vocals would appear to be coming a bit from the left side on all recordings/sources.  12 oclock being dead center they sound like they are coming from 11am. Flip headphones around vocals...
