Hey guys,    I'm looks for a cable to replace my UE Super fi 5 pro cable, last time i replaced it with some silver teflon cable off ebay, good cable but its sheath was a thick plastic that was quite rigid and not flexible. Not only did sound travel up the exterior of the cable, i also had to...

Hi,    I recently got some Grado 325s and while i love them i find that the earpieces aren't all that crash hot. After a few hours of use my ears start getting sore. Perhaps this is a good reason to take a break but i'd like them to fit better.    Are there any mods on the ear pads? to...

Hi Guys   I bought these koss sporta pro headphones for my wife, this is literally the 3rd pair she's had (with the other two having cord problems/channel drop outs). This time around they snapped at the plastic arm for the left phone. I assume no one has ever repairs something as drastic as...

Hi Guys   I know this is a common thread but i want to make my own cable given that the replacement cable i just bought busted after 3 months. I'll be getting the pins from the discovery global place in Hong Kong (http://www.discovery-global.com/ProductView.asp?ID=123&SortID=174).   I'm...

Hey guys,    My clear cord for my UE Super.Fi 5 pro's needs to be replaced now that it's too short to repair. I'm considering going with the black version as i wasn't happy with how much memory the clear cord had. I wrapped it up and placed it in the case and this just led to the cord acting...

Hi guys My left channel for my grado sr-60 was dropping in and out and finally never came back so i decided to open it up and see what's what. After blow drying the plastic to get them open i found that the cord was twisted. So i thought i'd just cut it off and re solder the cord a bit...

Hey all, I recently replaced my old er6's which died with the UE Super fi pro which i'm pretty happy with. The one thing i'm concerned with is storing them in that small metal case, i have to wrap the cord around my fingers to get them in there and i'm worried that doing this over and over...

Hi, i'm going to replace my filters on my etymotic er6's soon to see if that fixes a problem with them. I've now got the filter tool, does this tool ruin the filters in getting them out? i take it by the pointy tip it does. Someone was telling me to swap the filters over to opposite channels...

hi, i want to take the filters out of my etymotic er6's but i don't have the tool. I know that you can pop the filters out of the er6i's with your fingernail but it doesn't seem possible with the er6's. Does anyone know of a make shift way? thanks orfeo

Hi, I recently got the jack on my er6 replaced since both channels were dropping out due to the wires at the jack end being damages (i expect from pressure and repeated bending). So now that i have a new jack on the the end both channels work but i am getting a harsh clipping sound when i...

Hi, I was just wondering why headfi doesn't have a search function for it forums? Obviously it can be quite processor intensive for the server but i think headfi definetly needs one. It would save you soo much time and reduce the ammount of posts since all the newbie questions could be...

Hi, I recently got my er6's repaired (new jack) and they now have some bad clipping or something (scratchy distortion). I'm pretty sure they never did this but i thought i'd ask if anyone elses er6s do this. It happens on my 3rd gen ipod when its turned up to 7-8 mm bellow max. Obviously...

Hi, I recently got my Etymotic ER-6's repaired at a store in Toronto Canada and i'd said before that i'd let any other torontonians know how it went. So my pair had a problem with the jack end of the cord resulting in the right channel dropping out. So they replaced the jack with a straight...

Hi, I'm looking into buying some second hand grado sr60s and i was wondering if i should be worried about them having too much wear and tear on the drivers. i know its good to break in speakers/headphones but is there a limmit to how long the last (ie: i know speakers with foam cushioning -...

Hey, I recently asked a question about where to repair headphones in Toronto. So i found a place and here's the details fyi. I'm taking my er6's there to get the jack plug replaced, i'll keep you posted about the price i get. Ring Audio 416-693-7464 742 Queen Street East, Toronto, ON...

Hi, My er6's have died, one channel drops out cause the wires near the jack are bent and close to broken and i can only get both channels to work if i hold the wire in a certain position. I asked Etymotic about a repair/refurbishment option but all they could offer was a $70 pp for a swap...

Hi, my etymotic er6's have gotten a damaged cord due to the way they've been stored and now the jack connection is broken or on its way to being broken and i can only get both chanels if i hold the cord in a certain position. I could cut the jack off and solder a new one on myself but theres...

hey, does anyone know of a place in toronto, canada which lets u audition the porta pro's before you buy them? I went to bay and bloor radio but they don't stock koss. Any ideas? orfeo

Hi, I'm in toronto and want to buy some grado sr60's. Is there an online store that ships to canada (perhaps one that is already in canada as i don't think any of the american companies will ship to canada due to grado distribution policy). I could ship some to my friend in LA and then up...

Hi, The cord of my er6's have been thrashed through constantly packing and unpacking them away in the carry pouch by lightly wrapping them around my four fingers. The cord is permanently warped now and the jack (which i avoided wrapping) has got a problem cause only one channel works unless...

Hey, just doing some quick research into the 5pro's and i'm worried that the cord would die in a year or two. I currently own some er6's and the cord is permanently warped after being stored in the carrying pouch. I would wrap the cord lightly around my four fingers and then place them in...

Hi All I'm sure you've heard this all before so i'll keep it as short as i can. My etymotic er6's (which i love except for the lack of bass) are on their death bed so i'm switching back to headphones. I use my ipod to listen to all my music atm cause i'm travelling and away from my NAD...
