Hello, I was wondering how would I go about connecting a pair of Sony MDR-Z1R headphones to a Oppo UDP-205 via the dual 3-pin XLR Balanced Stereo Out? If that's not possible, is there anyway to connect the MDR-Z1R headphones via a balanced connection? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I just purchased the Sony NW-WM1A dap but I realized that this player focuses on it's balanced output but the headphone/earphones that I have are unbalanced (Fidelio X2/Periodic Audio Be). Would the WM1A be able to power these headphones efficiently through the unbalanced output...

So after a more than a year of owning the Opus #1S I've gotten the dreaded battery draining issue and after replacing the battery I'm still having the issue. Not willing to wait for a possible update to fix this I've decided to upgrade. So what I've been looking for is a dap that focuses on 4...

So today when routinely cleaning the headphone pads I noticed on my left headphone driver that there is a hole in the screen in front of the driver. It looks to be the size the tip of a 3.5 mm plug. Could this affect sound at all? My Fidelio X2's are from early 2015 so they are out of warrenty...

Hello, I need a pair of earphones for my iPod Touch 4g and was wondering if anyone could recommend me a pair that sells for $20-$60 and has an emphasis on build quality. Sound quality is not as important to me as build quality.

So my cat recently urinated on the floor and my part of my cable for my Fidelio X2 happened to be near that spot and caught a little of that urine. What should I do to get the smell out? Would using Silica gel packs within my headphone case work to get rid of the moisture and the odor of the urine?

Can this possibly damage the driver in any noticable way? Such as softer treble or sound on the side was bumped? I just bumped my Fidelio X2 on the right side while moving though a narrow hallway and I am worried I might have damaged them... I don't think I notice and change in sound, yet I am...

I was listening to my Philips Fidelio X2 while opening the dishwasher just after the cycle was finished. I stood back after opening it and just leaned in enough to grab a fork. Could this exposure to steam permanently damage my headphones?

Hello I was just wondering if binaural beats (such as those found on youtube) are safe to use on headphones at a low volume. The reason I ask is because binaural beats tend to use very high and very low frequencies and I don't know if the frequent use of binaural beats would damage the headphone...

Hello, I've been using the NuForce NE-700x as my primary earphone for private listening but as with my previous pairs of this earphone, the cable inside the jack is degraded and I was thinking about getting it repaired. Thing is, I have a budget of $100 for new ear/headphones but can't decide...

I got my pair of 700x's in the mail yesterday and while the sound is phenomenal, I am a little uneasy at the fact that the end of the left earphone cable that connects directly to the earphone is "loose". What I mean by that is that I am able to move the cord up and down inside the earphone. The...

So I took the plunge and bought a pair of Precisions off of amazon from a seller by the name of SilverBerries. I received the earphones today and the package didn't seem tampered with and looks genuine, but the there are a couple differences that these have from my other cx 400 II's. I first...
