I've got a couple of working (tho dead battery of course) MZ-N10's left and I'm wondering what I should do in terms of making sure they continue to work without messing with them too much. Any ideas?

I really want an updated Nokia BH-111 type headset, and my main complaint with what Fiio (I own a couple) has to offer is that they put features first and usability dead last. The clip design where there is one, the controls (or lack of), etc... they're terrible, even without the smartphone...

I was thinking V-Moda, but maybe there are others. Let me know if you have any input on this, thanks.

They've been getting thinner on the ground I fear, but I really like bluetooth headsets with 3.5mm jacks. One problem for me is juggling multiple phones... I want to listen from one but be able to take calls on another.     I've been using the Nokia BH-121, but it's been discontinued and...

After 6-ish years of use my older MMX's have started to give up the ghost. I'm not seeing any other major changes in high-end headset-land and was wondering if there was a better candidate.     I'm sure some will come steaming in to say "oh you can use a Zalman or Antlion on x headphones' but...

So 'tis coming up to time for me once again to hunt for a set of dual-purpose headphones and ear warmers.     As old and decrepit members may know I have had, and continue to have despite not posting actively anymore, rather a lot of headphones... so making a new choice remains just as hard...

My main dynamics (used on the computers) at the moment are the Tesla T1 and the HD800. Not as fond of the Senn as I am of the Beyer... the HD is just a tad too 'attacky' for me and reminds me a bit of the Qualia 010, a phone that I ultimately found a bit unpleasant, though the Senn is nowhere...

I've been interested in makiing a snap-on case for a while, just have not got around to it due to it not being exactly high-priority... but to make my life easier I'm wondering if there are people who may already have taken the time to model any of these PCDP's to save me the trouble of scanning...

What I'm looking for is, on the surface, pretty simple. - I want to be able to create playlists based on what I've played (or not played) when across my devices. - I'd like my progress in individual podcast episodes synced across my devices. Either in the cloud, or if locally then using a...

The phone's clearly equalised as default... there's no way that a driver natively sounds like it does. Looking at the box, it does identify itself as DSEE, Sony's own equivalent of the crap that Cowon throws in to make their sound consumer-friendly. And while it's OK or even desired for some...

Unfortunately it looks like I got water in my W4's. They're sounding 'wrong'. I'll have a go at drying them out but I have a feeling they're toast. I also bought a 4R more recently which I'd hoped would give me cable options for phones, but got rid of it as I also have the SE535 which I...

Finally decided to keep an Audeze around as I'll have a second living room. Ear time vs bang for the buck is the issue here so I'm wondering which I should pick.     Ear time can probably be measured in minutes per year. I've had the HE/V90 for years now in my existing living room (under a...

Is there a utility out there which can switch via a hotkey between sources based on specific names as they appear in the Playback devices screen, e.g. "Speakers, RME Fireface UFX", "Realtek Digital Output, Realtek High Definion Audio"?  

Question as title. I'm interested in what is currently the best-regarded closed headphone (with some degree of isolation from external sounds) for US$90 or under.The price excludes 'clearance specials' but does allow discounts from major retailers. It is, as you may surmise, for a test. I'm only...

I've seen cables, but I haven't seen anything that I really want... which is like a riser that sits on an iPod dock and gives me a Zune (HD) dock instead. Does such a thing exist?

Doesn't need to have a management interface... as long as it has auto folder scanning I can do management in j.River for example.     The problem I have is that the most popular players have controls either too small for touch operation (mediamonkey, j.river''s main view, etc), others...

So I've been sitting on my SACD collection for a while. They don't get played often because the universal player is in storage and the transport for my main living room stack has also been put out of the way, since almost all my music now comes directly out of the HAPC. However recently I've...

I’ve been reviewing my everyday audio gear as of late, and as much as I like the T1’s for their speed and overall precision without overwhelmingly trebly performance, I’ve been feeling generally that they are, well, high-end DT880’s… i.e. a bit antiseptic. They are also really heavy on the head...

Question: How safe is it to wash the Head-Fi messenger bag? I've just found it, but it appears to have wood dust over it.     I'd hand wash it if OK. 

I need to secure a Shure EA650 (their inline volume control) against clothing. Any ideas for suitably sized clip arrangements I could glue on?

I'm liking the fold-flat feature. And since the AE has been a fixture for the last few years I've thought about upgrading it. Any notes of differences? Improvements?

Question as title.     I have a perfectly functional SE530 but am sorely lacking a full wired remote + mic. I realise that you need the new IEM's to work with the new cable. But I haven't been able to spot an iPhone 4 friendly wired remote + mic with a 3.5mm jack.     Is there such a...

Hi all,     I have a question regarding alternative sleeves for Shure earphones, specifically in this case the SE530. It's something that's been mildly bugging me since the E5 days, but long-term use of triple flanges particularly in my Ety days left my ears really irritated, and my...

Just a matter of interest…  

Question as title. Thanks
