    Resolved: Where is my draft?

    I've been working on a draft for a post for a few days, updating and saving it over multiple days. Today, it's gone. Only options I have is "save draft" and "delete draft", but the reply window of the thread just says the standard "write your reply..." Where did it go and how can I get it back?

    Travel light, yet with great bass?

    I'm used to Ultimate Ears Triple.fi from way back when, but they always fell out, regardless of tips. I'm prepared to accept molded recommendations, but unsure if I'm willing to invest in that right now. Otherwise, I also have both Ultrasone Pro 900 and Fostex TH-X00 Ebony for the bass, but...

    Comfort straps/headband protectors?

    I remember seeing a leather sleeve in a picture in one of the threads here that wrapped around the headband of a headphone.   Anyone familiar with these types of things? Are there several different manufacturers? What is the proper name for them, what do I search for?

    Smallest USB dac/amp combo with full size audio jack?

    I ask here because I don't want a battery in this thing, but it's going to be hooked up to a PC in an open office environment so it needs to be discretely sized and preferrably be powered by USB as well (but not necessary). Full size jack is a requirement, though, and that has made things...

    Which full size headphones leak the LEAST amount of sound?

    I have a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900 and they are closed but still leak a considerable amount, and thus not suited for office use.   Has anyone hear come across a quality pair of headphones which leak surprisingly little (or perhaps no) sound?

    The coolest, most mindblowing sounds in music?

    I want recommendations, not for short, one time sounds like the boom in Pink Floyd's Learning to Fly, but rather continuous things like the echo in the background exhale in Puscifer's Queen B...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3D0TbOP-wk   ...or the incredible three dimensional...

    Modern/contemporary jazz recommendations with electronic sounds?

    We all know the timeless classics I guess, Bird, Parker, Monk, etc, etc, and the innovators, Hancock, Davis, etc, etc, and the "new" stars like Corea, etc, etc...   ...but what has happened recent years?   When I browse iTunes all I find are acoustic trios and quite a lot of walking...

    Instrumental music to go to sleep to

      Background: I'm used to having dead quiet around me, but I currently live in a place with quite a busy street outside my (poorly insulated) window. Listening to cars passing by at random intervals when I'm trying to fall asleep drives me crazy, so my solution right now is to have some music...

    Ultrasone lost their massive bass... due to burn in?

    I got a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900 a while back, and was first taken aback by their absolutely ridiculous amounts of bass.   However, after listening for a while, I found that the bass wasn't muddy, distorted or anything. There was just a hell of a lot of it, and I grew accustomed to it...

    How to check if my headphones output the same volume across all frequencies?

    It's either because I'm currently feeling sick, or I'm beginning to suspect that the bass is stronger in my left ear than in my right on my current pair of headphones. The problem is that it's only on certain frequencies of very deep bass. Is there a way I can test this? Either via some...

    Ultrasone cable, where???

    I'm considering buying a replacement cable for my Pro 900 to try to get rid of the metallic and sibilant treble, and also try to get more audible effect from my DAC/amp... But when I went to the qables.com website, I had no idea where to go. I found the shop page, but all I saw where stock...

    Ultrasone Pro 900 + DAC/amp = fizzle :(

    So I just got my first DAC/amp and plugged it in. Using a pair of Denon AH-D2000? World of difference. My god, blew my socks off! Using a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900? Nothing. Nada. Same sound, no difference, and on top of that, there's a high pitched "whine" when no music is playing...

    Best produced music that blows you away?

    First let me explain where I'm coming from and how I describe "blown away": When I was younger, I went quite a bit to the Opera and even Ballet. Growing up, I saw my share of live shows, but always smaller, intimate venues (to this day, I've never been to a stadium gig). These days, I tend to...

    Cable replacement for Ultrasone Pro 900?

    The Ultrasone Pro 900 comes with a 3m cable that screws into the headphone on one end, and has a 1/4 inch plug on the other end. Can I buy a cable online that is shorter AND has a 1/8 inch plug, which will fit the Ultrasone Pro 900 headphones? I've never seen the plug with the threads...

    UE Triple.fi owner wanting a pair of circumaural cans!

    As the topic says, I currently have a pair of Ultimate Ears Triple.fi and am quite satisfied with them. But for sitting at home listening to them for prolonged periods of time, they do get rather earsore... So, I've just now begun researching what to get instead. The trouble is, my "home" is...
