    These are basically brand new. I purchased them when monoprice first released them in 2017 and hardly ever used them so they’ve lived in the case since then.

    MDR-7506 and Magni/Modi V1 Noise Issue

    Unfortunately I have no idea. I purchased used.   Results of test with DT 770's were so close to being perfectly ok (which would have confused me more). None of the quiet-but-ever-present sound like it wasn't grounded, but there was an ever-so-slight scratching sound when turning the volume...

    MDR-7506 and Magni/Modi V1 Noise Issue

    The magni v1 doesn't have any high or low settings. Just on or off. I tried it with every pair of headphones I own and no issue with any others, just the 7506's.    My conclusion has boiled down to this: There is something wrong with the Magni that only shows up when it's having to push a pair...

    MDR-7506 and Magni/Modi V1 Noise Issue

    The first thing I tried was swapping out adapters. I grabbed the adapters from at least half a dozen other pairs of headphones, some that screw in and some that don't. No matter what nothing changed. Honestly it sounds like something electric. The noise it makes constantly changes in frequency...

    MDR-7506 and Magni/Modi V1 Noise Issue

    So I have the Schiit magni/modi originals. They work great. M50s sound great on them, AD-700s sound great, K240s sound great, heck, all my headphones sound great on the stack. Except my MDR-7506s. Plugged into the Magni/Modi they create a phasing static and the volume nob is very noisy. Plugged...

    AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp

        Perfect answer. I currently have Superlux HD 681, Sony MDR-7506, Audio-Technica AD700, and Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones, so my next step is to buy a $400+ headphone. But that wont be happening any time soon, so I figured I would get the best out of what I have. I have a Fiio E11 for...

    AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp

      Believe me, I would love to do that. Unfortunately, right now I can't quite make that happen financially. So if one were a betting man, what would you go with?

    AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp

    So, my question is this: If I can get the v1.0 for $50 or the v1.2 for $100, which should I go for? Taking into consideration the price/quality ratio, would it be worth the extra $50 to go on ahead and get the v1.2?    As a side note/question, would it be better for me to get the Fiio E17...

    Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 : fit and comfort mod!

    ^^^ Nevermind.    I got a hold of what I needed. Instead of using masking tape I decided to use some Heat Shrink on the cable. I reinforced the area where the two ends touch with electric tape just to make sure it doesn't tear. Just another option.         Certainly a...

    Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 : fit and comfort mod!

    I'm looking to do this mod in the next few days. I was wondering about the Open Cell Poly Foam, though. Any kind I find online has the adhesive side to it. Am I supposed to get the kind with the adhesive or is there somewhere I can get the foam without the adhesive?

    The "Headphones That Significantly Perform Above Their Price Point Thread"

    Quote: Funny you mention half of my circumaural collection in one post.     The M50s were my introductory pair into the world of Hi-Fi. I got them for $120. As far as accuracy goes I absolutely love them. Bass heads wont be disappointed, but by no means do they go overboard. Without...

    Beginners Record Player Setup

    Quote:   Hey now! Don't knock them. For the price they are pretty sweet!... But I do agree. I intend to get a pair of Adam Audio A7X Powered Studio Monitors. However, due to the fact that I listen to the vast majority of my music on headphones I have never had a very urgent need to...

    Beginners Record Player Setup

    Sorry if I was unclear! I most certainly know of all the shortcomings of vinyl records. Having been studying the industry for 3 years now as a Music Business major I have learned a thing or two about the pros and cons of all types of recording methods and media storage methods. My goal with...

    Beginners Record Player Setup

    Quote: Right now I am just getting into vinyl music. Over the last 3 years I have become more and more obsessed with high quality audio. From high sample rate and high bit depth digital music to high quality headphones, amps, and DACs'. Now my next step is to learn more about the vinyl...

    Beginners Record Player Setup

    Oh, yes, I do very much understand that quality costs. However, before I dedicate my hard earned money I like to test the waters first. When I am testing the waters, I don't want to do so in such a way that makes me think "Well that was a waste of money." If my purchase ends up being worth the...

    Beginners Record Player Setup

    So I am looking at buying the Orbit Basic Turntable. (http://uturnaudio.com/) I need to purchase a Phono Preamp to go with it. I am trying to stay on a budget, but I do prefer the biggest bang for the buck. I prefer to spend as little as possible while also sacrificing as little quality as...

    The Monoprice MP9927 PG 208.. MP8320 (MEP-933)..The $7.11 club..

    Thanks!   I got them about 36 hours ago and have been listening to them at various stages in their burn in. So far, I couldn't be happier. I have been suggesting these to my friends without ever having had a pair of my own. When I saw they had a new model I decided to grab it. I changed the...

    So, I'm trying to find a frequency response chart for these. Does anyone know where I can find one?

    SMS Headphones by 50 Cent

    As a fairly new audiophile I have become majorly curious about every pair of headphones I hear about/see. I have been having a hard time hearing a true head-fi review of the SMS headphones by 50 cent. I expect they are garbage, much like beats, but I am still curious. Does anyone have a response...
