I have recently noticed an issue with my AKG k712s in regards to rattling on the left driver while listening to low bass. So after inspecting the driver for loose hair (none found), I emailed AKG customer service and received a response from one of the reps. He stated he forwarded my email to...

I have always been interested in the background music from movies, games,etc... Unlike most people that I have known, I do not enjoy the sounds of vocals in music. So this leads me to believe that I would benefit in diving into the world of Classical Music.   As a novice, are there any...

Hello,   I have been thinking of upgrading my audio setup for the use of music listening. I do like gaming on my PC (though at this point SP games only) so I have bought a soundcard months ago since their features were better suited for gaming. However, a few weeks ago, I decided to expand my...

Hello,   I have recently purchased a pair of AKG k712s and the Star Wars:The Music of Star Wars: 30th Anniversary soundtrack still shrinkwrapped from Amazon. My goal is to listen to loss-less files with these headphones since I have been told they are sensitive to the source of the music...

My father's old headphones at work need to be replaced, and he is looking a purchase a new pair within a few days on Amazon.   He is not an audiophile, and as a 60 year old cranky man, he just wants them "to work" so to speak. He is not very picky.   So here are the specifics he is looking...

I have seen The DIY Headphone stand thread on this forum, and I was intrigued with many of the various designs shown in that thread. Now I am unable to work with wood/metal pipes, plastic, etc... tools due to nerve damage/muscle control issues, so I asked a relative of mine to build one for me...

Hello,   I am looking to make an upgrade to my computer audio system. While I enjoyed the DT-990s, especially its sound quality, my sensitivities to uncomfortableness prevented me from fully enjoying the experience. I often have to adjust the position of the headphones every 15-30 minutes due...

As the title suggests, I plan on purchasing a couple of soundtracks for home use on my computer. I also plan on getting a higher quality pair of headphones for music and gaming soon (the k712 is my early favorite atm) Since I am a newb when it comes to music, should I download the soundtracks...

Hello,   I am your typical newbie who does not know much about amps in general. So I have researching, asking questions, etc... on here and other forums for advice. So here is my dilemma:   I currently have a pair of DT-990s 250 Ohm Pro that I use for gaming/movies. Now I am interested in...

Hello,   I am relatively newbie in the world of quality headphones and gear. I have already purchased a pair of DT-990 Pro headphones and a SoundBlaster Z for gaming. I know that a dedicated amplifier will increase the SQ from the DT-990s. However, I also have an interest in listening to music...

After spending 30+ minutes trying to place my new SoundBlaster Z into the PCI-e x16 slot, I cannot make the sound card fit into the slot. It seems that the slot and card itself are slightly misaligned with each other.   My case is a Thor v2 black version and my MB is an Asus Z87-plus.   This...

I posted this question in another forum (newbie mistake) on this site but I feel this forum would be better suited to answer my question:   A week ago I purchased a pair of HD 558's for gaming purposes for my relatively new gaming PC. These are my first pair of quality headphones so I wanted...
