My headphone cable length is insufficient. I'm looking to get an extension cable to plug into my computers headphone jack. Does the length (say 3 meters vs 1.5 meters) negatively affect the audio? There is no amplifier.

The music of the last 15 years has had some great tunes, unfortunately instrument seperation for some reason has been ditched. Is there a reason for this?   If you listen to Mr. Mister - Broken Wings, Roxette - Salvation, Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence, you can make out each instrument...

This headphone is falling apart on me apart more than a decade of use.  It was quite inexpensive (under $40), but the sound quality is great. I am a basshead, and have bought other basshead cans, but I always come back to these for crisp (non-bassy) sound.   Unfortunately these cans are OOP...

I have seen this issue on these forums here several time, of the compatibility of  headphones with spectacles being an issue. I just take off my glasses, put on the headphones, and then rest the glass arms on top of the earcups (it gives a mild tilt to the glasses, but does not compromise vision).

Are there any mods to make IEMs and/or Headphones more durable? Eg, using duct tape?   Some IEMs have very thin wires, and with these connections break over time.   I have a headphone  Panasonic  RP-HT710. It was an inexpensive phone, about $35 or so several years ago. It has excellent...

I have this headphone: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-RPHT710-Basic-Headphones/dp/B00004TZJJ/   Old, but works very well. Unfortunately both the cans are falling off --- the plastic inverted U  connecting the can to the headband is seperating  at the U-headband junction (where the headband...

How would these two cases compare (on a laptop)? How would the bass fare?  The reason I am asking is that the 80 ohm version appears to be more expensive on amazon.com, and it there is a benefit to the amp, I might get the 250ohm verson and use the saved money towards an amp. Maybe a ZO2

Electriq was recommended as an equalizer. Unfortunately it doesnt work on linux. Are there any linux altenatives to electriq?  

Can headphone amps increase bass and allow other frequency tweaks without the distortion that occurs in the equaliser in winamp? I guess by working in the analog domain?   If so, what would be a good amp to use with  laptops?

 How do the two compare to each other Right now I can get (in Europe) the HAS4x for $32 and the HAM5x for $48. Is the HAM5X worth the $16 upgrade?

Cost (in EU):   JVC HA-M5X Xtreme Xplosives: $48 Sennheiser HD 449: $96   Is it worth getting the 449?   Another option is to get the  JVC HAM5X now for $48, and get  ATH-M50 for $100 or so when I visit US in a few months. I need some headphones in the meantime as my current ones...
