I stumbled across the description of the USB standard and there it stays clearly that it can provide 5V/500mA at most. Hey...that is enough for a portable little amp for an IEM. Anyone already tried it?

Hi, I think the title of thread speaks for itself. My ex71 just gave up and I need a new phone for the travel. I am not a ctritical listener on the road, the ex71 was kinda enough sound quality wise. The isolation could be better however, since the train or the subway was just to much noise...

Hi folks... I bought more than 2 weeks ago a set of 701 earpad for my 501. I was hoping a bit more bass since there were comments about this effect. Well, after two weeks earpad swapping and listening I can honestly say that I can not recommend this mod to anyone who "knows" the 501 well...

Hi everyone, I am on a hunt after a good closed can and I could use some advice... I hart draws me towards and AKG271S, but it seems no one has experience with the recabling of this phone and I can't go back from balanced operation, so this is a must. As for my preferences I had a...

Hi everyone, my father-in-law use his TV rather loudly so I thought of two preventive steps: 1, He gets a wireless phone for his birthday / this weekend 2, I buy a closed phone Step 1 is organised and about to happen, but step 2 is still a question. I am AKG follower and therefore I...
