in case nobody has mentioned this, the 0404 has recently gotten linux support through alsa, so have fun with that.

Hmm, my sound is backwards but the phones are on right and the cables are right and plugged in right... hmm... Software doesn't seem to have a way to flip it. I changed the cables around for now (senn 650 has removable cables, so i moved right to left and vice versa), but I would like to know...

I need a right left test sound. I'm playing a game and I'm pretty sure it's backwards, and I can't find a test sound on google. Thanks, Kyle

I bought a pair of these used recently and they have a buzz in the right earphone. Can anyone tell me if they've experienced this and/or know how it can be fixed? I assume these can be opened up easy enough since the headphile guy does mods on them. I'm not worried about popping them open if...

Hey I'm here in mpls, at the U. If you wanna stop by you can hear what I have. It's below in my sig.

headphones? $300 for senn 650s which I woodied for next to nothing, $70 for hd-25-1's. Amp was a bit over $200, soundcard was $80.

how would the isolation compare with the hd-25-1? I'm actually considering IEMs now cause they isolate so much better, but I would still prefer circumaural if it can get the job done.

So this comes with multiple impedances? Which is the one I want considering the setup in my sig? I can't really remember the details regarding the differences any more, so if someone could send me to a link of the correct one, that'd rock. Thanks again, Kyle

I don't think the a900 does as well either. I'm not worried about "vice-grip" since I have hd-25-1

Hi, Looking for recommendations on isolating circumaural phones, but nobody could say anything, so I'm taking a guess at some phones that I would like. The purpose of this set ofphones is isolation and comfort. Will the 770s deliver? Isolation is the most important factor, moreso than sound...

Come now... Someone must know something. Even if it's hearsay I don't care I guess--I just need some ideas at least.

Hey, Been a while since I've been here. I actually managed to get in and out of this hobby with a total cost under $500 and a complete setup, and I've put tons of hours on them happily, but now my needs changed a little. I need more isolation cause there's too much noise around me. I have...

I get some static out of the headphone output jack on my Sansui 4000, which is somewhere around 20-30 years old. Is it fixable or just a product of the fact that it's made for speakers mainly? The static isn't something I can live with--it's far too noticable. No static on the speakers...

I thought these were older than the 90's. Mine are slightly different than that picture because they have a logo on them. Also the wood is nicer on mine. Not sure about the price though. I read somewhere that someone paid $380 for them sometime in the 80s. I only thought they were 70's or 80's...

Looks like I just solved my own problem... I found a Sansui 4000 and it's well received here, so I can't believe the Technics one is better than the Sansui. I'll use the Sansui unless someone has evidence why I shouldn't.

I'm reading some good stuff about Legacy on this forum, too, so I guess that must be the one. But then my next question is: is my amplifier good enough for it? Now the answer from a head-fier must be "no, spend more money", but seriously, are they OK at all? If not, how much would a suitable...

Edit: I solved my own question... I found a Sansui 4000 and I'm pretty sure now that the Legacy II is the best pretty easily. Thanks though. So I can choose between any of these speakers with a Technics Integrated Amplifier SU-V96. I doubt many if any people have experience with all these or...

I actually like the bowls. They don't bother my head at all, and they sounded great. Granted, I had no flats to try on that particular phone (the RS-1), but I'm sure I would have liked them too.

I don't even listen to my cans before burn in. As for the pads, use the SR-80's. As for the headband size, looks like you're SOL on that one if it's a serious issue... that is, unless you're skilled enough to rig something up yourself .

Why? I can get the microphone into the sound card no problem... I'm doing this on the cheap, so a mic amp is out of the question. I'll never use that thing for anything near its intended purpose. I'll use my onboard sound before I have to buy something, but I really do want this thing to work...

Don't you mean, "I'm quitting head-fi "?

I have a mic that has a 1/8" plug, so I had to build an adapter (which is tested working), and I'm putting the dual monos in the analog inputs. However, when I try and use this in games it doesn't work. I'm guessing something is wrong in patchmix, but I can't get it to work. I read the manual...

Well if you play games and don't prefer AMD, you're ignorant/dumb/crazy/combination. They clearly come out ahead in all recent benchmarks I've seen. For pure applications processing, though, I believe intel is quicker. I don't care too much about computing long processes, though, and I play...

Sound quality never came into my mind in the sense that you are talking about. When I say "sacrificing sound quality", I mean being forced to put on a pair of headphones that have a mic built in, such as the $50 logitech pair. Anyway, I solved my own problem. If any of you are in the same...

Thread starter, apparently you understand my sig then? I put this thing on a year ago and I haven't gotten anything new since (actually I sold one pair--my MS-2s). I'd rather listen to new music through a pair of $20 PC speakers than the same old stuff every day through the 650s. In fact, half...
