Alrighty.  After some research and mulling over whether or not I want to do the work on my new cans, I've decided to pull the trigger.    If I want 6-7 feet of cable, I only need to purchase 6-7 feet of this stuff, right (and not double)?  Also, I plan on using nylon techflex for the part...

Quote: I have a ringke case for my cell phone and don't like it very much.  Although it feels nice and looks good, it's so thin that I don't think it offers any protection if I drop it.  I like the noreve case because when I don't need to see / touch the screen - even though I have a...

Does anyone have an opinion on this plug?  And what's the difference between gold plated and rhodium plated?    I'm thinking about getting the right angled one.

Reviving an old thread, but if people wanted to see the Noreve case in action, I have it!  I'm also the Trident who reviewed the screen protector on Amazon and it's on my J3 in these pictures, if you can see it.    The price tag might be a bit steep for some of you ($50 shipped, with coupon...

Quote: Great, thanks.    One more silly question, is a right angle plug "better" than a straight plug?  Personally, I prefer the right angle because it seems more compact, but maybe that's just me....

Quote: Let's talk logistics here.  Cable upgrade is 95% for durability and better overall cable and 5% sound improvement (pseudo effect?).   I'm going to purchase the following:   12 feet of audio cable. 12 feet of nylon sheathing (1/8" is the smallest they sell). One sexy...

OP:   What type of techflex did you use? 

That's all I need?   12 feet of cable (6 for each side) and a plug?   No sheathing or anything?  Which would you get, the 26 or 28awg?   Thanks for the reply!   EDIT:  That is one sexy connector!   EDIT 2: Sexy J3.  I have the same source for music and love it!

Hi, I'm thinking about re-cabling my brand spankin' new ESW9's.  I'd like to get a more durable cable that is less tangle prone and at the same time, potentially increase the sound quality.    I'm looking for recommendations on cables and connectors.  I'd like to say under $100 total. ...

Quote: I had one too many beers last night and dug in though my old electronics collection.  There is no way in h*ll I'd use that iPod; the J3 is far superior all around.   I also ordered the Audio-Technica ESW9.  I'll get them Monday and will share my experience after some...

Quote: Ahh!  I've done some reading on these and they sound marvelous.  After all the reviews, I only have one concern - how is the sound quality with classical and jazz?  I've heard mixed reviews and maybe you could give me your direct input?   I'm inclined to just listen to you...

Would it be a bad idea to buy the Sennheiser HD25-1 ii used?

Thanks for all the replies.   Still mulling over the AudioTechnica ESW9 as well as others.  I guess my main question (and yes, I've watched the head-fi tv show comparing the two headphones) is how much of a difference is there between the DT 1350 and HD 25-1 ii.  I can get the latter for $150...

Quote: Awesome, thanks!  Do these sound better than any of the ones I have listed above?  And what would a good portable headphone amp be to pair with them?  I appreciate your input!   Quote: After some more research (pretty much all I've been doing the past week) I...

I'm looking at getting my first pair of over-the-ear headphones + amp and am looking for suggestions.   I'm a college student and these will mainly be used while walking to class as well on family trips (planes), general listening, etc, so portability would be nice.   I am looking to...
