I recently found out that my earphone is making some buzzing noise on one channel, even when it isn't plugged in. Here are the variables I ruled out: - low battery on both the earphones and broadcaster After charging both units, I still get the same sound in the same intensity - outside...

I came across this performance of a Handel sonata on the viola by Olga Goija, whcih has 90k views and 150 comments. The beauty of her tone notwithstanding, it's quite out of tune. If I were the performer, I would not want to have it posted in public space. However the comments do not reflect...

Any? Thanks in advance.

I'm in a terrible audio limbo: I'm not entirely satisfied with my Sennheiser MXW1s being my main and only "good" headphone. It sounds nice, but I terribly miss the Edition 9 bass that is about 1% present in my wireless earbuds. I'm also dissatisfied with the smallish headstage that has yet...

There were a few threads on this, but they were really old, all of them by at least 3 years. This is a thread for the new generation of HF'ers, whom I can only assume play more games, given its age group Please let me know if I've missed recent threads with the same topic. The game music I...

Albeit being very low quality for use with headphones. I understand I can find almost every single piece of work on YouTube, be it an amateur performance or a 30 year old concert. I have two questions: 1. Is there a similar website that was better sound clips instead? I don't mind...

There are several hundred DVDs that I want to archive and digitally store them in my computer for future-useage, with deteriorating DVDs being my biggest fear. I have an old X-Files DVD that just stopped playing for some reason, possible because of some freak incident with age, etc. What are...

I've read some reviews on the 271S, but I couldn't quite find its right comparison with higher end headphones. I have an MS-Pro which I use for almost everything, running from a Pico or my 53R amp, but I need something more suitable for larger orchestral/symphonic works that is closed (for...

I've lost an HTC Touch (I was very satisfied with it), with a long way to go for the plan: Option 1: Keeping the contract and plan, and to buy a new Touch/equivalent would cost $400+ Option 2: Canceling the contract (so I can start a new plan + new HTC Touch for $100) would cost $200 ~...

USB DAC -> Pico -> APS 1/4 to 1/8 > headphones Since parting with the ED9s, I've been (hifi) headphone less for a long time. I used to have a PK1 but lost, possibly stolen, on my 5th day of possession... so shucks :| After an hour warm up, here are my initial impressions: Chamber music...

In my months long observation, it seems like there are many "newer" forum members who recommend top notch equipment, and speak of a whole variety of headphones... often praising them and saying "yeah you can't go wrong with AD700 for gaming," "the D2 is totally awesome," and so forth. Some of...

This is a really simple and addictive, turn based strategy game with a setting in the 1997 Middle East conflict -- don't worry it isn't politically biased (save for several historically significant events) each country has random characteristics each round. They need to make more games like...

I just found out that I'm beginning to love radio. My current radio rig is the iRiver H10, and I am sure I can get better than this. My question is, are dedicated portable headphone radio players superior to the one's built into MP3 players? Is there a way to optimize radio reception (thicker...

As some of you may already know, I heavily practice the viola, and the risk of hearing damage is high. Every session I get a very prominent tinnitus about the mid-range, fluctuating between 2 ~ 4 kHz, which is probably a foreshadow to hearing loss in that particular frequency. Of course...

I've had some inquiry regarding buying/selling and shipping the equipment overseas, and I discovered that a good percentage of people wished to have their item prices declared considerably below the actual purchase, and to always mark them as "gifts", even though they were purchased. After...

background: I ordered the PK1 from HeadRoom, and there was a minor accoustic defect on the right channel (definitely not HR's fault before conclusions are made), so I ended up using their exchange program, which by the way, like everybody says, is speedy and excellent. This might be a factor...

Don't get me wrong, it has the best in-front-of-you presentation with textured bass, all smooth (perhaps too much so) sounds related to gaming. But when reverting back to my EW9 with a much smaller stage, SE420 with the lack of depth but excellent horizontal plane, and even my Bose QC2/various...

I couldn't find a specific "thanks" thread in in HF (which I am certain I saw a few last year) because: 1. "search for titles only" in HF search function doesn't work, and 2. "thanks" "gratitude" etc. were too general terms to find using Google. So I'm just going to open a new thread, mentioning...

I'd like to explore the world of Star Wars. Is there any "complete collection" which has all of the episodes/movies, and preferably with commentaries and other special features?

There must be something in them to make one man so truly obsessive. They're aren't ridiculously expensive like some other tweaks out there, so I think it's worth a shot. So if it doesn't work, at least I haven't dumped my life savings on it. I'm going to order a sheet from Parts Connexion in...

I have my Pico with my ED9s, and while they are great, I feel that I could get an un-constricting, and tighter bass. Is it possible to achieve this while staying purely portable? Any advice is appreciated. I was thinking the Lisa III... but that would be a last resort, since it's huge and...

Let me cite one of the Head-fi TOS/Rules: Quote: Considering that our member base is made up of people from a wide range of ages, from pre-adults to senior citizens -- and also a great variety of cultures, beliefs and social standards -- swearing on the forums is not allowed. Our...

I've read numerous threads on portable power supplies, but those were mostly discussing those small, passport sized batteries meant to charge iPods and PSPs. What I'm looking for is a portable AC power supply that is good enough to power my 8 lb laptop. I was thinking along the lines of...

Any suggestions? It could be either an: - educated audio talk - downright bashing/fanboyism for a certain product - huge debate on certain sources/amp being better, portable vs. home - a really sad thread that shows how stupid online discussions can be You could tell that I'm quite...

By recommendation from many expert members, I've narrowed my equipment "upgrade" choice to balanced HD 650+K701 with an HR Desktop Balanced DAC/AMP, which would all together cost approximately $2000. But for just a $1000 more, or used for around $2000, I can get an O2+007ta system. I...
