It's both a hum and a hiss.  The hum is the same sort of hum you hear at power stations, or the hum coming from the subwoofer/amplifier of computer speakers (except much louder).   The tweeter itself makes a significant hiss when I put my ear up to it.   I'm not picky, and understand...

So I just got a pair of Audioengine A5's... they sound superb, but I hear a buzzing/humming (like an electrical hum) coming from both speakers.  It's OK when I first turn it on, but if I play something on the iPod and pause the music, the hum starts.  It is really noticeable even several feet...

I have the w810i, and the main problem is a really loud hiss in the background (I hope they've fixed this for newer models by now). But aside from that, I still think a good mp3 player sounds a lot better in terms of the range and soundstage, and all the other things.

I first bought a pair of EX51LP's, and felt so guilty for spending $65 on earphones

I have the white, but black ones may be better for people with wet earwax... the black triflanges aren't as obvious when you pull them out in public after deep insertion...

Who knows, you may have been saving some money! Looking at their website, their prices seem a lot higher than US online places. We non-Americans always get pillaged if we buy locally

I hope this contest will make up for all the times I lost $$ on scratch cards

I thought the finale was superb. I'm tired of the shock and awe approach they've taken with all the other finales. BTW, for the record, Jack did not kill himself: http://youtube.com/watch?v=OttiDqyc72U

I find the orange foams tend to give the music a little more bass, but maybe it's just because it fits better for me. I have wet ears, so when I push the triflanges too deep into my ears, they pull out a bunch of earwax, which is disgusting to deal with when in public

Yeah... but I want to include it because it will actually help my presentation. It's the students who are marking me anyways, and a portion of the criteria is how interactive/effective it is, so I'm thinking it might help a lot. EDIT: Binaural's a great idea, do you have any suggestions on...

Regarding passing around the SR60's... it's definitely going to make whoever listening not listen to me speak at the moment, but do you think I should pass it around FIRST or at the end? (I'm thinking neither, because I want them to listen to my opening hook, yet also the conclusion) BTW, I'm...

Haha this might be a dream come true for many headfiers... For one of my uni classes I have to do a 10min presentation on any topic (they suggest doing a hobby), so I picked headphones! I'm not really sure how I should go about it, so do you guys have any suggestions on what I can do and...

The plug is a 3.5mm (1/8") plug that comes with all computer speakers. ie, the Logitech x230's

Thanks for the advice!

I should be receiving my PA2V2 in a few days, and was wondering which jack of the AV710 I should be connecting to. Right now, I'm using the black Wolfson DAC jack connected to my SR60's unamped. With the PA2V2, should I just connect to the green jack? Also, I was wondering whether a better...

If anything, I think this "study" is reassuring (if valid, but I have doubts). I assume they used iBuds going out of the iPod, since that's what everyone uses. 80% with that combo is deafening! But i guess this study is aimed at teens who actually DO listen at those levels. I don't think...

thanks guys, for all your help! I know I should've used the search function, but I was panicking because I was told when I bought these that they could not be returned due to hygiene reasons. angler, your suggestion really helped, I was able to get the left one for the first time! But I...

Help!!!! I bought a pair of e2c's last week, used the flex sleeves and really good and comfortable fit, but the earphones as a whole sounded terrible. SO today I got er6i's, but no matter what I did, I couldn't fit the triflanges in my ears. If I press REALLY hard and force and twist them in...

haha, I've never tried that before
