I've had microphone problems on my PC for years. At first, I thought it was a PSU issue, then a room noise issue, now after some testing I think it may be due to something about the computer in general (perhaps the PSU). I tested the same microphones (MEMS headset mics and an electret...

I am looking for an alternative to the Panasonic Ergo-Fit earphones. These are the only earphones I have tried that actually fit my ear canals. Everything else doesn't seal well or is uncomfortable with frequent use. Unfortunately, Panasonic's Ergo-Fit earphones don't have great sound...

For years I have been trying to calibrate headphones or equalize them to sound relatively flat. Years ago I used a Radio Shack SPL meter and just placed it against the earpiece of a on-ear headphone, and that worked OK, though not great. Recently, I got the idea to try an in-ear microphone...

I'm looking for some frequency response measurements for newer Koss headphones like the UR23i and UR42i. But mostly all I see is Sennheiser stuff... Koss does not seem to get alot of love.

Koss has several different lines of headphones with different impedances. What difference does this make?

I have a Status CB-1 I was given for free. It has no bass in one ear. We looked at the electrical wiring and it appears fine. Could it be a damaged driver?

My impression is that open-back headphones just aren't as good a value for the money as closed-back headphones? Does that play out in your experience, as well? I have used mostly inexpensive headphones over the years (less than 100 dollars), but I've also listened to some more expensive ones...

I own several headphones, mostly closed-back types. I do however, have a Sony MDR-210, which is similar to the on-ear headphones that were popular in the 90's for hooking up to portable music players. They have 30mm drivers, and the sides of the driver enclosures have small ports, so they...

I've been doing alot of reading and youtube surfing and became aware that alot of headphones have elevated bass and treble relative to the midrange, the theory being that this will sound more like a loudspeaker listening experience in a typical room. However, it seems to me this could be...

I watch Z Reviews and one thing I noticed is that one of his headphones seems to have widened somewhat from sitting on foam yoga blocks for so long. I do not have enough experience with full size headphones to judge so I was wondering if this also reduces the clamping force on the head- my...

I got some replacement foam pads from Amazon today, and I put them on some old headphones I had lying around just to test them out. I put the headphones on just for kicks and listened to some music with them and I was shocked by what I was hearing . Music sounded great through them. I thought...

I have been using headphones a long time, mostly inexpensive on ear headphones (Sennheiser, later Panasonic RP-HT21) or earbuds (Panasonic Eargonomics). I prefer listening to headphones using some kind of acoustic simulation. Usually Creative CMSS, Yamaha Silent Cinema (on my receiver), Dolby...
