    Removing broken cable pins stuck in IEM sockets (How To)

    I accidentally snapped off the pins to my 64 Audio CIEMs yesterday which was particularly inconvenient because the pins got stuck in the socket. This is one of the issues with IEMs with flush (non-recessed) sockets as constant bending of the connector (from lack of reinforcement) will cause the...

    Review by 'sniperwill0' on item 'beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Headphones'

    A truly fantastic headphone, especially at its price point. The sound is very airy and open while providing superb, detailed imaging (jazz and blues really shine on these). It's really amazing how easy it is to pick out individual instruments. Bass, mids and treble are well behaved, although the...

    Hissing sound from headphone?

    It could be interference. There is quite a bit of cabling around my computer (speakers/sub/monitor cable/extension board etc.)    I can't really try them on another device as they have a quarter inch jack unfortunately. Although, when I plug in my IEM's, the noise is gone.

    Hissing sound from headphone?

    Hello all. For a good while now, I've been hearing this hissing sound coming out of the right ear of my HD 558s. It gets louder when I turn my volume knob on my amp (Schiit Magni) down, and is the loudest when the knob is turned down all the way. The hissing goes away if I turn my volume up to a...

    Jazz listener, how old are you ... ?

    Huge jazz fan. I'm 20 now, but I've been listening since I was 11. I also play trombone in my university's jazz orchestra and have been playing jazz trombone since 7th grade.

    Removing ear wax deep in sound tube?

    Just tried the cotton and a it's a bit too soft. The wax is a rather large piece.

    Removing ear wax deep in sound tube?

    Mine is also the flaky kind. I might try the cotton swab, but I'm hesitant about using alcohol. Thanks!

    Removing ear wax deep in sound tube?

    Hey all. I was trying to clear out some ear wax that built up on one of my CIEM's sound tubes today. While I got some of it out using the ubiquitous cleaning tool, the rest got lodged deeper into the tube (almost touching the driver). I've been looking around for a viable extraction method but...

    Anyone tried the 1964ears v6 or v6 stage eims?

    I just got my Stages today and have to say that I'm quite pleased. I haven't tried the V6 so I can't really compare the two unfortuantely. From what I'm hearing right now, the Stages definitely have a bassier sound; the low end is extended and has some punch, especially with bass heavy genres...

    External speakers for Galaxy S3 phone?

    Hey guys. I'm looking to get a set of basic, quality speakers that I can plug-in to my Galaxy S3 for home use. Connection can be via cable OR bluetooth, although preferably bluetooth. Price is NOT an issue. Any recommendations? Thanks!   EDIT:  I will have to bring these speakers overseas, so...

    New Shure SRH1540 closed-back headphones?

    Hopefully these really perform. After all, if the article's expected price is accurate, they're charging just over $500, which is twice as much as the 940.

    If you're using Chrome, you can translate the entire page. It's not 100%, but it gets the basic idea across.

    New Shure SRH1540 closed-back headphones?

    Glad they're using metal headbands. The 940 headband is notorious for cracking. Looking forward to a review.

    Cable corrosion from sweat?

    Ok I tried wiping them down at both the jack and connects, didn't work unfortunately. I also tried listening via my laptop and another phone; the short was still there. I think problem is in the last bit of cable leading up to the jack; the part that tends to experience a lot of bending when I...

    Cable corrosion from sweat?

    Also, I removed both monitors and found some black grease looking stuff on one of the interconnects =/. No clue how that got there.

    Cable corrosion from sweat?

    I see. Will alcohol wipes work? Alcohol is hard to come by where I live.
