Black Sheep Braided B&W P5 Headphone Cable
Hi, Phil! I'm ready to replace my now-janky P5 cable after it caught an accidental tug; I'm looking for a cable with iOS compatible mic and remote, and most crucially, a right-angle plug. Can you handle something like that? Thank you! :)- Chrontius

Anyone listen with Nokia Phones?
Actually, I've been using a Lumia 520 almost exclusively since my iPhone went on the blink. My problem is the in-line remote and mic on essentially all of my headphones quit working, and I've become quite spoiled. Anybody know of a good replacement cable for my Incase Sonics that uses...- Chrontius

What do I need to get a decent headphone surround sound setup with my motherboard?
Vlad, welcome to Head-Fi, sorry about your wallet. :D The Mixamp is used for combining VoIP traffic and game audio through a set of headphones - unnecessary for PC gaming or music. As I recall the G930 licenses the Dolby technology; when games implement their own positional audio, you can turn...- Chrontius

Headphones for Electro? ( dubstep, Dnb, hardstyle )
It's amazing how much better a USB sound card can sound than integrated audio. Welcome to Head-Fi, sorry about your wallet. :D- Chrontius

Looking for headphones/headset for gaming only! No budget.
My gaming headset of choice is the Logitech G35 and the wireless version, the G930. The G930 has recently stolen the show; it has a control pod on the left ear, with a digital volume control - it talks natively to OSX, sending the same keypresses as the keyboard's volume up/down, rewind...- Chrontius

iPhone 5 Line out?

Noontec zoro mods
I'd say the first step would be replacing the cord with one with a mic, if this is to be an on-the-go pair of headphones. Monster's should work nicely, however.- Chrontius

Yeah, I ordered the P5. I'm desperately hoping I don't regret it; it's been years since I auditioned them, and the UE 6000 was awful good. Fingers crossed.- Chrontius

Incase Sonic
Quote: One's a spare; you can also pick one to match your outfit this way. ;) I suggest looking for a company making Android-compatible headsets, and buying their replacement cable - there's no universal standard amongst Android makers; some use Apple's pinout, some swap mic and one...- Chrontius

Reply to review by 'chrontius' on item 'Logitech UE 6000'
In my experience, the UE 6000 is flat-out a basshead's can. They're awful comfortable, but I found them a little too bassy for my tastes, at least with the noise-cancelling and built-in amp turned on. If that's what you're looking for in a headphone, you might enjoy them. I found the V-Moda M-80...- Chrontius

Reply to review by 'chrontius' on item 'Incase Sonic Headphones'
Very much my experience with the Sonics. They hit way outside their price class, and look pretty sharp, too. I'm impressed by just how hot they could be - but they're not. Comfortable in Florida summers they are.- Chrontius

Beats Executive... Another disappointment
Quote: They may be better served by the Ultimate Ears 6000, which if boomy, goes very deep. I discovered a new bassline on a favorite song while I auditioned them. :D- Chrontius

$300 Gift Certificate
Distressingly, I got to audition only the B&W P3, Harmon & Kardon, Beats, and Ultimate Ears. Everything else had dead batteries, damaged extension cables, or was just broken. Or just not there. I like how deep the UE went, but sometimes it felt like my ears were getting sloppy seconds...- Chrontius

$300 Gift Certificate
The *tax* on $300 is stretching my budget to the breaking point,</deadpan> so unless I can talk someone into floating me a few extra bucks, the Sennheisers are, sadly, going to have to wait. The Momentum looks nice - really nice; I dig the retro vibe - and durable, but they don't look terribly...- Chrontius

$300 Gift Certificate
I just got $300 to spend at the Apple store. I think I want headphones, and they sell what have been my Holy Grail, the B&W P5. But I'm going to open this up to anything the Apple store sells in the same price range. Audio source is an iPhone 4, and I have no interest in keeping an amp...- Chrontius

EarPods - Apples newest entry into IEM

EarPods - Apples newest entry into IEM
Let us not forget that the much-derided iBuds are still the best sounding courtesy 'phones I've ever used, and that I and others have (in years past) purchased iBuds as upgrades over other headphones. Let us also not forget that the Apple dual-driver IEM also sounds significantly better...- Chrontius

Incase Sonic
They arrived this morning - my first impression was "light", followed moments later by "comfortable". Though strictly speaking, my first impression was how attractive, and easy to get into the packaging was. I'm not having any issues with microphonics in the cable, unlike others. I've only...- Chrontius

Calling all Head-fi elites (Modding HD280 PRO to HMD 280 PRO)
I dunno about the rest of you guys, but I'd love to see an HD-280 mod with a cheaper mic, a shorter cord, and an Apple-compatible TRRS plug. And a five-button remote on the earcup with the microphone. The Logitech G35 has about ideal controls, actually. I love these things, but they're such a...- Chrontius

Noontec Zoro
Does anyone know the best aftermarket iPhone cable for these? I'd like something with an L-plug, or at least a flat anti-tangle cord. The V-moda doesn't do either. I'm inclined to buy a Beats cable on eBay.- Chrontius
