    DT770 cable has developed permanent twists; how to fix?

    I have a pair of DT770's that I use during the workday and store in a drawer when not in use. I wrap the cable in circles around the headphones. While in use, I keep the headphones plugged into a laptop on a standing desk, with the bulk of the cord dangling off the desk. After owning the...

    DT770: possible to tighten earcup adjustment mechanisms?

    Is it possible to tighten the left/right adjustment mechanisms on a pair of DT770s such that more pressure is required to move the earcups up or down a notch? They seem to require very little pressure to adjust compared to other headphones I've used, which causes me to have to readjust them due...

    ER4PT microphonics: are the cables supposed to be this sensitive?

    I exchanged my old, dying ER6i's for a new set of ER4PT's through ER's official exchange program.  I read about microphonics in the reviews before doing the exchange, but I didn't realize it would be this noticeable.  If I barely bump the braided cables or the plastic junction piece that...

    Didn't like any of the eartips that came with my ER4PTs - are IEMs just not for me?

    I bought a pair of ER4PTs and found that my ears always feel sore after wearing the ER4PTs for only 30 min - 1 hour.  This occurs with all of the included eartips - foam and flange.  Given that I bought these mainly to use on long flights, this is unacceptable.  I see that there are other brands...

    Bandcamp takes a very long time to play next track on mobile device

    I'm not sure if this is an appropriate forum for this post, but since bandcamp doesn't have a help forum and a lot of members here find music on bandcamp, I thought I'd post this to see if anyone has any ideas.   I find that whenever I stream music from the bandcamp website via my android...

    definition of a headphone's "noise ceiling"

    I was reading reviews for the DT770 Pro 80 ohm on Amazon and came across this:   If you want the best "dedicated amp-less" listening, then the 80 ohms is the best balance between low noise ceiling for listening devices like the iPhone, but not low enough to introduce unwanted noise...

    general question about headphone sound quality and amps

    I have never used an amp before, so I'm sure there is something I am missing here, but - I always read on here when people compare cans, they will comment on the bass, treble, mids, etc. and say things like "the mids are lacking". Why not just build/buy an amp with an active filter in...

    Need recommendations for ~$100 closed phones

    I was looking to spend ~$100 or so for a good pair of closed headphones. I mainly listen to rock music and will also be using these when I practice guitar (also rock). I'll also probably use them to watch movies. I say closed because I don't want to bother my roommate late at night, but how much...
