I'll be honest, i've found these at a thrift store. Unfortunately, the audio jack is a 4 pin one and i have nowhere to plug them in to test them. The cable is removable, and can be replaced if needed with a regular audio jack (they can be found on ebay). They are in good shape overall, given...

Do they ship from Hong-Kong? How long did it take to arrive and did you payed any import taxes?

If i'll decide to buy these, they will be my first IEMs with detachable cables. How good are the MMCX connectors in terms of reliability? If they break, what is more common to break, the female port on the IEM or the male one on the cable? 

Anyone knows how these compare to some full size open headphones like Philips X2? :)

I'm curious about one thing, if using custom made cups and earpads, can they be tweaked to have a wide soundstage and 3d feeling and still have the isolating nature of a closed headphone? What are the best mods for this? Bigger cups? Angled drivers?   And one more thing, has anyone used Sugru...

Ok, so, i have recently bought some unmoded Fostex T50RP, that i listen to from the onboard audio; i haven't yet decided on an amp and dac for them. They sound decent (though i don't have anything to compare them to), but sound isolation is pretty poor and they are uncomfortable (really sweaty...

Are there some specific mods that increase sound isolation AND comfort (anti sticky sweat)? I was surprised they don't offer much sound isolation with no mods, despite their close nature.

Quote: Are custom (or replacement) cables available for these? Can't seem to find any, maybe because of their proprietary jack. Regarding isolation, can't it be improved with foam tips or something similar?    Any other options with detachable cables? I want detachable cables because...

I'm sorry i didn't see this thread earlier. So i'll post here as well, where i should have done in the first place.   I'm looking for IEMs that are very good for games and movies, so they have to have very good soundstage and 3D imaging (will use Dolby Headphone).    Price range...

Hi, i need some good in-ear monitors for using in a relative noisy environment, primarily for low-competitive gaming and movies with dolby headphone virtual surround (provided by my sound card). So they need to have as good as it can (in my price range) soundstage and 3D imaging. I know these...

Quote: I've heard that AKG K550 has good soundstage, i wonder how it compares to some modded T50 (Mad Dogs, for example).

Hello, I need to make a quick buy decision regarding an amp+dac for these, i hope this is the place to ask. I must make an order this week (a relative of mine is visiting US and can help me) and i really don't have much time left for digging through hundreds of posts (i will gladly do this...

Anyone has any gaming experience with "DTS Ultra PC II", found on some expensive Asus motherboards (with realtek sound)? It's advertised as capable of virtual headphone surround and i'm wondering how good the effect is, compared to Dolby Headphone, for example, in modern games.

I'm sorry for asking again, but maybe my question was missed among other posts. Are there any mods that are tailored for increasing the soundstage and 3d imaging?

Btw, are there any mods to specifically increase the soundstage? 

Quote: Wonderful! But the pictures are so small, hard to see any details. And aren't them too heavy now, with the alu cups? How much did all the mods cost?

Quote: Chat is not a priority. And if i need it, i will use a bluetooth mic. How will you connect both the PC and PS3 at the same time, thru USB? USB splitter?  Quote: As far as i know, only Gigabyte boards have this feature.       Thru HDMI this won't be a problem, all...

Not sure, yet. I'm just counting my options. Recon3D could work, but i think it would be a pain to switch the USB cable, from pc to ps3 and vice versa, every time i want to use one of them. If i go the receiver way, i think i'll go with Yamaha and hope i will be satisfied with their "Silent...

Quote: No, but thanks for the offer. 

Quote: In the last years, many mini ITX motherboards come with a full 16x  PCI Express slot, and you can use any video card you wish. For example, in this current generation of intel chipsets (Z77), currently they are 5 or 6 mini itx motherboards like that. One example: Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe...

Can't, i use a mini itx gaming system.

Quote: Yes, but it only supports Dolby Digital, and i don't have DDL on my onboard realtek.

Would you say Silent Cinema is better sounding than Dolby Headphone? Some Marantz or Harman Kardon receivers have Dolby Headphone support, but not every one and they aren't many (at least in cheaper ones).   The only thing holding me back from buying a receiver is their big size and the fact...
