Ok this may sound like a strange question given that were compairing full sized cans and non budget EIMs but Is this the same balanced plug that you find on the hifiman Re -Zero (limited ones with the balanced plugs)?   if so would this be the reson that they released those phones with that...

I had better put my 5.5 on ebay soon so its still worth something. I would love to have a classic mostly because of the aluminum case, the screen would be great also.

Is there any news about the release of a Hifiman 802? I was hopping for a better screen and possibly a little better battery and gapless if that is possible. ohh yeah might as well include a gane card to begin with and just have a switch to switch back and forth for all us IEM users who want...

ok so apperently you need to open the back by peeling the ruberized plastic off the back of the player and the screws are under that. and for the record It is similar but not identical to the samsung however the screen is compatable with slight modifications to the mounting bracket. 

SO the screen on my BEO SOUND 6 went out, no problem I just bought the samsung and am going to change the screen. ONLY PROBLEM the samsung has 4 littl screws on the side and taking it apart is strate forward the B&O has nothing on the sides at all it smooth not a screw can anyone tell me how to...

I'm using the lower lamp on my bead side torch/reading lap style lap. it works allright. I do have a white rock paper towel holder maybe thats not such a bad idea. the holders with boxes in them are not a bad idea however I am thinking most of us have headphone amps so a classy headphone amp...

OK I just want to quote the website with the last 2 comments in mind .  I will take out the awards and just list the things that stand out to me.    Variations Between Grado Headphone Models     Prestige Series SR60i: This headphone has gained “LEGENDARY” status. The SR60 has received...

  "The official word from Grado, and the unofficial word from the Grado surrogates on Headfi, is that each driver in the Grado lineup is different. What they mean by "different" is some kind of state secret. Having taken apart the iGrado, the SR60, the SR60i, the SR80, the SR80i, the SR225...

Sense we are talking about the philosophy of economics and sociology instead of headphones now I will throw in my 2 cents and say that the world as a whole has come to expect less and less of the younger generation. If I am not mistaken one (possibly more) of the founding fathers of the united...

  1 It is true that the other mentioned thread was not so old I could not have put my 2 cents in there. 2 The other thread is not listed in "do it yourself" the resign for this post was for do it your self enthusiast , you know the type of guy that is making a kit car in his garage and has...

This just is a lesson mess with one of us and you mess with all of us head-fiers. I was going to get some edition 8s and 10s and because of this thread I decided not to. Then because of the good response I changed my mind.  

Good pint about the ear candling I will remove it from the post or at it to the not recommended. As far as doing this on a regular basis I neglected to mention that in the post and it will be amended forth with. For the comments about having a doctor do this for you that is obviously an option...

MOSTLY Cheap junk IEMS that I dont have any more because they broke (probably from having the cords pulled out from having the things in straight down. I am curious how the extream isolation ones do with sound stage. mabe it would work to put the foam on the out side of the can and sort of...

    After looking around for a wile I was surprised how many people were doing things to get 3% better sound like washing there pads with special soap, drilling holes in driver backs spending ludicrous amounts of money on gear just to plug it into an mp3 player and just about everything else...

I have some muffs like the ones in the link. I was wondering if there was any advice about what pair of drivers I should try to stick in something like that? would the hd 25's really be better than the "extreem isolation headphones" for drumers?  I am almost positive a normal headphone will...

I have been Looking all over for some nose isolation headphones that really have audiophile sound. Here is my situation.  I walk behind or stand behind a Lawn mower or use out door equipment many hour a week (at this point at least 20) During this time I listen to music while wearing 35 dollar...

I did the hole mod 5 on each side yesterday (used hairdryer to open them way faster took 3 min for both cans) then I dampened with the back side of some calf skin on the back of the button. As far as I can tell they do have more "punch" to the base but I doubt that I am getting as much as some...
