Are you boosting bass or attenuating everything else? It makes a difference with some EQ not properly handling clipping.

I forgot I even made this thread. I guess I'll update by saying I fixed them by gluing the plastic cap back on with this stuff. I highly recommend this adhesive for just about anything. I also noticed the creaking plastic sound when rotating the cups disappear, so anyone with that issue could...

So I broke the hanger holder on the left side.       It looks like I can buy a replacement part at B&H, but do I need both front and back parts? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Shop-by-Brand-Fostex/phd/4291439885/ci/4/pn/2/N/4294255798   Also, it seems kinda hard to get to the...

i just noticed "bleed" isn't on here.

I'm also curious about these.

Quote: Mine move easily but don't feel loose. They don't move unless I touch them and when they're in my ears I don't notice them wiggle and they don't lose a good seal for me. imo the sound is a little thick and smooth but still has good air to it. everything comes out very clear but it...

Am I the only one who wears these straight down? The only headphones I've tried over my oddly-shaped ears that don't fall are meelec m6's. like it's the shape of the housings. even with the guides. I get an equally good seal worn down anyways. The more I listen to these headphones the more I...

I think I wrote it wrong. The red wire seems to do nothing while the striped ones are tied to ground. either that or I cut my red somewhere up the wire. the green and blue are definitely left and right tho. too bad I messed up the soldering and might have to get another plug xD again I don't see...

i think the seal is fine. yea its just a more forward treble than my other headphones which were mid-centric. After more listening I think the treble is ok. I actually like the warmer bass and mids. I just wish the treble was pushed back a little. I never use an EQ but that might actually be a...

no mic. the old xcape plug is so solid that I can't check how its soldered, sadly. unless i take like a sledgehammer... also its not worth me buying a multimeter unless it's really cheap. I wouldn't know what to get either.   I sent an email to sunrise audio (which i didn't even know had...

I really wanted to fix my xcape ie and compare the two but i'm having the hardest time repairing them myself and getting no answer from head-fi for my problem here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/593788/xcape-ie-6-wires-in-headphone-cable#post_8164170 among other problems like soldering really tiny...

so nobody knows or no one can help me?

Quote: I know lendmeurears.com has em. pretty sure they ship anywhere. if you're not comfortable buying overseas I can understand, but guys at head-fi will easily recommend them. gl with your purchase btw :)

bump with mysterious picture.       edit: I got a reply from Sunrise about the cable. They told me this:   - Right channel: Blue + yellow  - Left channel: Green + Blue combine with Yellow   not sure if by "yellow" they meant the copper wire. it didn't seem that way when I...

I saw it on the "recent feedback". I can't really link it but i'll quote it.  "I bought "Sennheiser CX 500-B In-Ear Stereo Headphone (New)" from this seller and unlike so many other sellers in the online market the Sennheiser's where genuine. I would definitely purchase from this seller again...

get a sunrise aodia i100. reviews around say they're real good for $22 and they have an iphone mic. I don't know if bass monsters are your thing considering the choices you had in mind, but if you're happy with tight punchy bass at medium quantity you might like these even better than the...

cx series headphones on amazon are always a coin toss but I just looked at the seller reviews of BV lady and a user confirmed they are indeed legit. I got a pair of cx400s a few years ago for $35 and was amazed at the sound quality for the price. There are other options though and you might want...

Yep. I had to replace those filters too. I used cotton from the ends of q-tips though.   And since we're bumping this thread...maybe someone can answer me in this thread. Why does the xcape ie cable have 6 wires inside? There's always red, green and ground so what in the world are the extra...

I thought I'd make a new thread instead of bumping an older less specific one.   I'm going to replace the plug to my Sunrise Xcape IEs and they have a total of 6 wires in the cable rather than 3 or 4. They are colored red, green, blue, striped red (copper), striped blue, and copper. Can...

bump. I haven't bought any plugs yet as I've been enjoying my full headphones lately.   Today I stripped the end of the xcape wire and found SIX wires unlike the 4 I expected. There are red, blue, and green wires, then red striped/blue striped wires, then a copper ground wire. I'm...

My xcape ie is broken. I kinda liked them but wish they had more bass. Would I like the gr06?   also do they get loud enough? I listen out of my Droid Razr at max for the xcapes. I don't wanna bring an amp with me while I'm out. I'm looking for a good easy-to-drive portable.

The left channel on my xcapes stopped working because of cable damage at the strain relief on the plug. The build quality on these did not seem so bad but the problems I've had say otherwise.   Can I replace the plug on the xcapes? (does it have painted enamel like my cx400 did?) and what...

omg that looks awesome! pretty sure there's some cardboard lying around my house and I'll try this if i find some. currently I have paxmate in the bottom of the cup and teased cottonballs around the sides of the cup. (thanks to Unwise for that suggestion!) With transpore it's the cleanest...
