i have a goldring dr150, and the cable it uses is a 3m mini-to-mini interconnect. the stock one is supposedly pretty good, but i could use a shorter cable as a spare. where do i start? i was thinking of just using 22 or 20 awg copper speaker cables and terminate the ends with $5 gold plated...

thinking about changing the cables on my sennheiser hd201 and goldring dr150. don't know much about cables, but what are your thoughts on just using thicker gauge speaker cables? would this be a step in the right direction, or a step back? TIA

do the hd570/hd590 earpads fit the hd580/hd600/hd650 series? how about the hd5x5 earpads? TIA

Hey, The HD201 is highly regarded as the Triport killer, but IMO it lacks a lot in isolation and comfort. With the stock pads, they don't hug around my ear as well as I would like (not as circum. as my HD555), and they also don't have enough space between my ears and the driver (I feel like...

Sorry guys, but I just got my HD 201 in the mail today. The reason I feel compelled to start another thread is that, straight out of the box, I am very impressed with them. Few notes: -They were way lighter than I imagined they'd be. -The "leather" pads were not as soft/plush as I...

the e268 are those $50 fontopias that were out ~5 years ago. can't find info on them anymore, but are they pretty much the same as the e888's (minus the fontopia earpiece, of course)?

looked at a bunch of sites, and the HD201 seems to be out of stock at many of these. The ones that do have them don't look too legit. Where should I look to go pick up a pair? TIA

So, I have an HD555 sent to me in error by Digitally Unique. I thought I was ordering an HD580 (see infamous thread). My question is simply this: should I keep the HD555 (which I've read, are great headphones), or should I return these and get the HD580 (which I've read, are a world of...

similar to other thread, but with a pocket amp 2. i know the hd580 will outshine the hd555 with better amplification, but all i have is a pa2v2. likewise, i know that the hd555 should outperform the hd580 unamped from any portable source... if you've had experience with both, coming from a...

Hi, I've been browsing and searching the forums hoping to find a decent USB soundcard. The reason I want USB is to switch between notebook and desktop use. I am not a professional musician, but having read about the resampling issues on some cards, I think I want one that does not resample...

i don't mean to beat a dead horse, as there is a plethora of ksc75 vs px100 sound quality comparisons, but i'm concerned with which is more portable and which is more durable? i'm new to the world of clip-ons, but my friend's sony clip earbuds tangle quite easily and is a mess to sort, while...

i found the ex51's superb while sleeping (well, more like laying on my side). the e2's are acceptable, but far from being comfortable. i just wanted to know how the ex81's stack up in this category? from a first glance, the ear-loop thing appeared obtrusive. TIA

mine just came in the mail, i ordered two sets of the quietspot inline fit kit. i love the comfort and the sound- it sounds "cleaner" than with the foams IMHO. i seem to get more isolation, too. however, the first drawback to be noticed is the "microphonics" effect. whereas with the foams...

been reading about electrostatic headphones, and wanting to try them out. several concerns: -i just got the e2c's, will stax sr001mkII or sr003 have dramatic improvement over the e2? e2c's are the best earphones i've ever tried- compared to e268's, ex51's, and bose triport's (i know, don't...
