    Audio fuzz white noise with USB powered X12 headset

    I have a Turtle Beach X12 headset with a little built in USB powered amp. I've tried multiple USB sources, even plugging it into a separate outlet with a cell phone charger. No matter what it is plugged into I hear a soft fuzz, like white noise. Adjusting volume doesn't make a difference, in...

    Another help choosing IEM for iPhone 3G

    Thought I would post a follow up since I've had these for a few months now. I commute 5 days a week by bike. The ride is short but these things have been through snow, sleet, rain, etc and held up fantastically. They sound great and are great at drowning out wind noise on the bike. I use them on...

    the nuforce sound great. unfortunately the shipping was horrible, they threw the box in a USPS envelope so it came crushed. they turned out ok though and I'm enjoying them a lot. very nice balanced sound.

    I ordered the NE-7m's, I hope they're as awesome as the reviews state. Sounds like I can't go wrong and the controls should come in handy.

    I'm leaning towards the Senn CX 400 now because of their price and good reviews. Plus I have a pair of Senns I really enjoy.

    Another help choosing IEM for iPhone 3G

    I'm looking to buy a decent pair of ear canal/IEM for my iPhone 3G. I jog and cycle so something that stays in place would be nice, but I want it to sound better than "sport" models usually do. I like bass to accompany my music not over power it. I could care less about sound controls but I have...

    IEM under $50 for iPhone 3G

    Thanks, I like a pretty full sound from all ranges, not particularly bassy or heavy. the price is certainly right though if they put out that kind of sound. Great-Sounds.com

    IEM under $50 for iPhone 3G

    I just got a new iPhone 3G and what better to compliment it then a new pair of IEM. I currently use a really cheap pair of phillips I got in a pinch because the buds that come with the phone are horrible. I listen to a lot of electro (Justice, Danger, MSTRKRFT), dance, house, nurave/newrave(?)...

    PC -> Live! 24bit -> what receiver?

    I recently moved and my PC went from connecting to my TV to down stairs in the basement. I used to have my PC connected to my receive a Pioneer VSX-815 through my Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit. I used the SPDIF connector (Vista drivers do not work for optical out) and listened to flac at...

    Live!24 external & 24/96?

    I used the SPDIF on the rear to my receiver. the drivers in vista aren't setup to use optical out, or I need an updated driver. but you have to use SPDIF or Optical and you need to set that as your default in your OS as well. 24-bit/96kHz will only output from digital. you can configure it for...

    Live!24 external & 24/96?

    yes u can. I use mine thru my PC and connect to my receiver which has a digital input for 24-bit. I get 96kHz sound out of it. Flac sounds amazing! depending on your headphones though you'll want to use some sort of amp or receiver. I didn't know my lil HD555's were this good until I connected...

    where to test headphones in Denver CO?

    I saw the meet but its a limited venue, 20 people isn't a whole lot. I bought my Senns at Ultimate Electronics, but the HD555's we're the best ones they had. I love them, but I want to listen to some closed vs open as well.

    iGrado vs KSC75 vs ?

    my thought as well on safety. I ended up getting the Sony MDR-Q22LP for now, but I really like them and think I'll just keep them till they die. Great rich sound, a lot less tinny than the KSC-75's. they also fit better, and still clips so I can hear well. I keep my volume down as well. the...

    Sony MDR-Q22LP

    I haven't found much on these little clip ons but I really like them. My KSC-75's fell apart so I said screw Koss and bought these. They were cheaper, actually sound better (to my surprise), and fit my ears better. I hear more bass because of the tighter fit, but without being over powering. The...

    iGrado vs KSC75 vs ?

    where do I take them for the warranty, don't I have to mail them? I know Koss used to accept them at any Koss retailer like monster cable but idk if that holds true today.

    iGrado vs KSC75 vs ?

    My KSC75 got all tore up and now one side doesn't work. (The cable just split around the wire in various places and I never taped up the tears so eventually the wire frayed and broke) I used them A LOT with my Dell DJ and I liked them. But I could never get them close enough to my ear so bass...
