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...- Special K

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...- Special K

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...- Special K

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...- Special K

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...- Special K

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...- Special K

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...- Special K
