I had their electrostat earbuds and one channel was cutting in and out. I had contacted them last year say November but never sent the product in (I had a brain tumor and was a mess). The product's 2 year warranty ended in June and still hadn't sent them in. Got out of the hospital early...

Really liking the 846 but you know, it might be time to upgrade. Any options? I like the bass on the 846 and the clarity and its pretty wide. The Westone W80 is heavily reduced and was mentioned when I searched earlier. Also is there an iem that competes with the Hifiman Arya ( I know its a...

I have struggled with this iem. I tried the stock hooks and it would just fall out. Then the earfin or whatever it was. That would kind of work but there was always one ear that it would just fall out of. So i gave up on them. Then the other day I was looking at the LCD-I4 manual and there...

I reluctantly got into headphones a few years ago, and I think now I am starting to get happy! But its been a journey that is for sure. It kind of started with the Monoprice cans like the M1060. I bought them and modded them, mostly with damping. I did that to my maggies and it was worth...

They have been good but i wanted more. Was running them out of the pre out on the headphone amp. Plugged them into the headphone out and they are totally better! Guessing Shure designed them for a headphone out and not a line level out. This will save me some dough

Current gear: Amps- Hafler ha-75, liquid platinum (hardly use the platinum because the 1/4 sounds worse Headphones: ultrasone sig pro, ultrasone edition 11 ( best sounding of the 2). Though i listen way more when working and now have a stand up desk with a tread mill so the over ears are...

I went through the monoprice planars and heavily modded some 1060s and M1060cs. At that time I bought some m350 in ears. I didn't use them that much but thought they were ok. I ended up getting the Ultrasone Edition 11 and the SIg Pro. I dig those and really my #1 desire is soundstage and...

It seems like the headphone manufacturers are saying balanced is not a big deal because lots are SE. But my amp for instance The Liquid Platinum basically says dont even bother listening single ended. But my best headphones are only se and I doubt I will mod them. What gives?

So I have been playing with some footers and just doing diy stuff. Did some diy roller balls first with 1" wood balls and furniture "cups" for furniture legs. Then some steel balls. And finally some more practical and maybe better sounding options. System sounds the best it has. Detailed it...

I bought this and man it really worked. I thought my power was pretty good with a regenerator feeding 3 Ps Audio Ultimate outlets that fed the components. I have it so things like the switch and I phone charger are using one Ultimate outlet, and the Dac and Big ben are on one, and the Amp and...

If so what was the result?

So I was talking to my buddy and he was saying while I had great credit (over 825) it was basically from one source and he suggested I try to get a few other sources so when I buy my house in the next year or 2 I will have even better credit. Well I was thinking about some headphones to buy and...

I will be doing this too with the M1060c. Basically I got around to treating the front of the driver and just treated the front of the driver with some 3m dampening sheets. Damn. This is a fantastic and easy mod. The sound is soo much clearer. I knew the resolution would increase but the...

i say open because I have already removed the outside grills and foam and am running without that stuff. Even then the soundstage is not as wide as the M1060. So i did a mod to fix it. I call this the “Kitchen Drawer” mod because you take that stuff they sell in the grocery stores to line...

Sonarworks has a test. Even though my m1060s are supported I couldn't select them for the test. Anyhow this was the curve it came up with based on my responses. https://preference-research.sonarworks.com/

Just got a pair and right out of the box they sound great. That has to be a first for me. Pretty amazing for the price. Pretty good build quality for the price and comfy. Seriously good sound and I can't wait to mod these! Tons of potential! Though omg I could live with these stock I think...

Which ones do that?

made some cables this weekend that are 3.5mm to 2.5mm to run balanced for various headphones. Based loosely on an Allen Wright recipe. 26g magwire with cotton string and techflex. Senheiser 2.5mm tip and 3.5mm from neutrik Very clean sounding and worh the effort

just got a 2nd pair and will be doing some mods Here is the velcro removed: 4 little screws attach the drivers to wood cup. The 5 big screws hold the driver together. Best not to remove them because its somewhat dangerous to reassemble and there isnt much to do there anyhow: The first...

Been an audiophile for 20 years but new to headphones. Bought the M565 then the M1060 mkii. Having had Magnepans for most of my audiophile days the M1060 is the kind of sound I like. Lots of negatives about the highs but maybe they really did fix it because while I had to upgrade other parts...

Have seen some reviews of mastering cans that are described as great for mastering but 'you wouldnt want to listen to music on them". Can anyone explain that? If your upstream is good wouldnt you want your headphones to be as neutral and detailed as possible? Does that mean audiophile...

The $100 balanced amp market only has a few options like the SMSL or Loxie but none afaik are dual mono and battery powered. But one can buy 2 of the Behringer P1s for $100. http://i66.tinypic.com/flm49z.jpg They are battery or supply powered and with 2 of them that should be dual mono. I...
