Looking for suggestions for some headphones under $100 for my girlfriend. Right now she uses a crappy logitech headset but her birthday is coming up soon and she has expressed desire for some headphones that aren't complete crap.   Since she doesnt really have a particular taste I will tell...

I've had a pair of DT770 Pro's (60 ohm I believe) for almost 9 years now, best pair of headphones I've ever owned.   Problem is, just the last few days the sound on the left driver cuts out when the cable is bent a certain way, almost certainly needs a recabling.    I'm just curious if its...

I need some decent quality speakers to run from my record player. I have some DT880's (600 ohm) and DT770's (80ohm) running from a Littledot MK3, but I want some speakers just so I can relax in my room, drink some beers and crank some Metallica/Dream Theater on vinyl.   You guys really...

I am not quite sure what I need, but I need to be able to run 2 computers into 1 set of speakers (computers with standard 3.5mm jacks, speakers have standard 3.5mm jack). Do I need a special sort of amp/dac that takes essentially 2 inputs with 1 output? With the ability to be able to switch...

My friends mom came to me asking for advice on a headset for Christmas, and she only wants to spend around $40 bucks. I was wondering what the best option would be for gaming (I know a $40 headset wont sound the best, but this guy isn't exactly an audiophile)? Should be comfortable first and...

Its that time of the year again, time to spend tons of money.   Anyways... my siblings and I bought our father a hot tub for fathers day, and hes really taken to it. He has built a little sort of enclosed space around it so that he can enjoy it in the winter time. I know he likes to chill...

I picked up a pair of 600ohm DT880's off of ebay for $230 (including shipping) that were slightly used. Very good condition actually, pretty much brand new. The guy told me they had less than 100 hours.   My question is, I'm going from Xonar Essence STX through line out to a Littledot MK3...

I just got my LD MKIII, and was listening to it last night from my record player (Rega RP1 > CA 640p > LD MK III > DT770). I am not through the burn in stage yet, so it didnt quite blow me away, but it will get there I am sure.     My question is, I have a Xonar Essence STX on my PC, that...

Somehow theres some sort of bobbing to my records. I just bought this thing and had it configured by the guy who sold it to me. I have it playing on a level surface, and the slipmap is flat.   The record is brand new, it definately is not warped because it happens with multiple records.  ...

My setup is:   Rega RP1 >> CA Azur 640P >> AMP >> BeyerDynamic DT770's.   I need a good amp for around $150-$400.    Would be nice if it supported more than just headphone and could do speakers too (as I want to get a good pair of speakers down the road).

Ive got my TT, and just received my Azur 640P in the mail today, now I need to be able to hook them up and listen.   So I dont have a "proper" amp in the sense of the word, something that I can plug my headphones into (DT770).    I currently listen through my PC with my Xonar Essence...

Just got my RP1 and forgot to pick up a few accessories.   What do you guys suggest I need?    I was looking at this and wondering if it would be good or if there is something better?  ...

So I just got my Rega RP1 today, and should be getting my CA 640P Monday or Tuesday. I want to be able to listen to it before next weekend, so I need to order some decent cables.   The guy I bought the RP1 from wanted to sell me Nexxtech cables, but ive never heard of them, I was a little...

Im going to my first ever concert next Thursday (Oct 6) and I am wondering if there are some ear plugs that would block out the loud noise but still allow me to fully appreciate the music.   I just dont want to go home with a head ringing, but I still want to fully enjoy the concert.

Going to be getting an RP1 soon with a Cambridge 640P. Mostly going to be listening through headphones, but was thinking I may pick up a set of speakers down the road.   Probably would have a budget of $400-700, wondering what would go well with this setup?

So I am buying a Rega RP1 soon, and I was wanting to go with the Cambridge Audio Azur 640p to go with it, but the guy I am buying it from is recommending "the Tonar" (didnt give me a model #) for 50 bucks less.   Any thoughts? 50 bucks is nothing to me, and ive been looking up the 640p for a...

So I normally listen to FLAC through my PC. Running a Xonar Essence STX + DT770 Pro's (getting a little aged, about 4.5 years now).   Anyways, thinking about picking up the new Dream Theater album A Dramatic Turn of Events in the Deluxe Collector's edition set. Comes with 180-gram vinyl. ...

So I currently listen to my music in flac 16-bit/44.1.   Space is not an issue for me. Should I re-rip my music to 24-bit/192? Is there any point? I want the highest quality sound, and I only plan to rip like 10-15 albums this way, so I could care less if the album is ridiculously big.  ...

Is it possible to use a Y splitter to input an audio signal from an MP3 player or something similar and a mic signal at the same time into the line in? My predicament is that I am trying to get my PS3 sound to go through my PC so I can use Steam to voice chat to a buddy of mine while we play PS3...

All Ive ever used was the HA-FX33. I saw them on sale at a local retailer for like 10 bucks a piece in Canada here, and bought like 5 pairs of them. I use them to listen to music when I go to bed so these in ears don't last me more than 3-4 months a piece, and Im down to my last pair.   Been...

Just curious if anyone else owns the Xonar Essence STX? What settings do you use (I know it has 2,4,6 and 8 channels) for various settings?   For music I use 2-channel, I use the Music Preset and then switch to DH-2 with Dolby Headphone enabled. I find it to sound the best for my DT770s.  ...

Can someone please give me a summary of the types of pads for the DT770 Pro? Ive been trying to do research but every thread is at least 6 months old and nobody has really said where to order from in Canada.   Had my DT770s for a few years now and the Velour pads are falling apart, I wanted...

So ive had my DT770 Pro 80 ohms for a little over 4 years now and they are starting to show their age. The drivers are crackly, the earpads are breaking (even though I can simply get those on ebay for 15 bucks) and altogether they are just starting to wear down.   I absolutely have loved...

I have DT770 Pro 80 ohms right now, but they are like 4 years old now, getting to the end of their lifetime, old and rattling (ive cleaned them out, I think the drivers are dieing).    Anyways, I plug them into my PC, through an Asus Xonar Essence STX audio card, which has the option to...

Does anyone know of any mods or what not out there for the Siberia V2 headset that would make the ear cups have more pressure on my ears. Currently they sort of tilt out at the bottom of my ear, so that some outside sound is getting in. Compared to my DT770's, I think these things sound like...
