Hi guys, a good thing just happened to me today and I thought it could be a nice idea to share! Some time ago my dear wife accidentally broke the cord on her Portas for the fifth time in a non-repairable place near the plug. I bought her a new set the same day but I hate to throw good stuff...

I'm calling upon the expertise of you all on what to buy. What I would like to have is: - Excellent line out quality, this is the number one priority. - Line in and line out without awkward adapters. - On-the-fly encoding from line-in, with good quality. I have no soundcard that is good...

Hello everyone! I'm calling for some advice which is most awkward since I have such modest references in the headphone arena. The best headphones I have encountered so far is my old koss portapros... I still find those cans quite entertaining but I really want something much more detailed, less...
