Hi guys. It's been a while since I've been on here, but I recently picked up a pair of Beyer DT770s for work. Does anyone know where I can pick up a real leather or lamb skin headband? Thanks ahead.

Hey HF,   I'm in need of a new set of headphones for use @ work.  It's been a while since my last headphone purchase, so I'm a bit out of the loop.   Criteria are as follows: - Under $300 total (preferably around $250) - Closed - Around the ear - Amp not necessary   2...

Been looking at some DACs...It seems like the weakspot in my chain as I'm no longer using the ThinkPad as my main computer source, thus no longer using the Indigo DJ as my DAC. My current home setup consists of iMac --> Cardas HPI --> MisterX SwitchBox w/ CrossFeed --> Monster iCable -->...

Just came back from the Infiniti dealer. Ordered a 2008 Ivory Pearl on Graphite Leather 6MT G37 Sport with Premium (24 bit Burr-Brown DAC with 11 speakers )/ Navigation/ Splash Guards. Looks like money will be diverted back to my car modding habits. This is going to be the longest 7-10...

I bought a sheet of McMaster wire mesh and I can't figure out what to cut it with. i tried a diagonal cutter, but it didn't work very well. What did everyone use to cut the wire mesh with? Thanks ahead.

Is the Equinox cable made of copper, silver, or mix? I tried searching for an answer and I didn't come up with anything. Edit...nevermind. Found it. But now I'm more curious. Most people say the HD650 really needs a bit of silver to pick up speed and sound its best. With the Equinox being...

I know I've read that the HD6X0 cables will fit the HD25-1 (although some say the early early versions don't fit), but will they fit the HD25-1 II? The stock plugs seem ALOT smaller than the HD650 cable. Just wondering if anyone has tried this before I try forcing them in.

I tried searching, but I didn't find anything more than a small comparison. In any event, I'm seriously considering some Darth Beyers w/ BlackMax, but I'm wondering if I'll be disappointed. After all, the "core" of a Darth Beyer is still a $145 headphone. Too bad the stock DT770 looks like an...

They finally figured out why it sounds so good. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/...T89yYSKfcDW7oF Now who is gonna get Larry to make a set of headphones out of limestone?

My Miova power cable came in yesterday. I knew it was big, but holy crap. The plug easily trumps both my RCA plugs together! For reference, I took a picture side by side next to my Cardas HD650 cable as well as some pics of it plugged into the G-Lite LE and Belkin PureAV. I'm still stunned at...

The Gilmore Lite LE arrived today. Its #10 of 15. First impressions: "Holy crap this thing is small!" I really thought it would be bigger. Its a beautiful piece of equipment...very well made. I had no idea it didn't come with a power cord, so all initial impressions are made using a generic...

I made a thread a few weeks ago about being unable to find a quality switchbox to hook up both my headphones and speakers at the same time. So I contacted Marshall to help with designing a switchbox to fit my needs (2 outputs, 1 input...all 1/8th female plugs). Along comes my intent to take...

Anyone know the story behind why the ALO Copper Dock isn't on the webpage anymore? Was it too good of a bargain? Was it discriminated against b/c it didn't carry the well known clear covering which everyone relates to ALO? Is it inferior in some way? Did it simply sellout?

February issue of Stuff, page 54... Fabio is talking about his $2,000,000 audio/video setup and it has a picture of him holding what seems to be some Grados. Its really hard to tell what kind they are, as he has his hand over the earpiece. I'll try to get a picture of it in a sec...

So in anticipation of building a desktop, I was wondering what would be the best way to connect both my headphones and speakers. I want to be able to select them just by turning the power off from each instead of having to unplug and replug all the time when I want to switch. Does the Juli@...

Just wanted people's opinion on it that have gone this route. If it was worth it...which cable did you go with and why? **already done alot of searching** Edit: Guess I'll be finding out soon. I have a cable enroute. Curiosity got the best of me and I've hardly had my 650s 3 days, lol.

I'm contemplating getting a home amp for my HD650s (I think I finally found the sound I'm looking for ). Being as I'm running them via an M Hornet (very pleased with the sound I'm hearing btw), how much difference can I expect vs a home amp such as the Heed, Gilmore Lite, or something of the...

Now that my boards are over, I feel I should treat myself. Gonna finally give in and order HD650s tomorrow morning. Found them for $265...Does anyone know a place that will sell them for cheaper? Thanks ahead. **I swear this is gonna end up with me buying a home amp...**

So I'm at a dilemma and I wanted some input. Would most of you work out with an expensive IEM at the risk of breaking them...or would you buy a pair of cheapo IEMs that you don't care about to work out with? Granted the expensive IEMs will be backed by warranty incase something goes wrong...

Oh man...What a crazy review. NSFW (language). Review

Has anyone heard anything about these? I'm really interested to see how ATH does with IEMs and how these compare to UE and Shure.

Out of 7 trades, 5 were with Asians. Maybe its cause we like to trade? Or is there a disproportionate number on head-fi vs other forums. Or...Maybe its my choices in equipment!

I was wondering if anyone made a right angled 1/8" female to 1/8" male adapter (not cable). I have an Echo Indigo DJ on the way, and the output jacks are on the side instead of straight out like my Audigy ZS. So the way my desk/setup is positioned, I kinda need a connector so I don't have to buy...

I noticed that the Indigo has a headphone amp in itself, so I was wondering how this might affect the sound if I connected it to a RSA Hornet afterwards (if at all). Also, if anyone has used the card with ASIO, and how much improvement that gave vs going thru the windows kernel. Is there a...

FedEx ended up coming 3 days early! Equipment: 5G iPod --> ALO Copper Dock --> M Hornet --> E500/HD595 IBM X41 --> Audigy 2 ZS --> Zu Pivot --> M Hornet --> E500/HD595 Build: Holy crap! This thing is SMALL. I really underestimated its size, even with looking at pictures. Thicker than...
