yeah, I did it with epoxy resin glue. The hinges can no longer fold and I can only adjust the length on 1 side now though. Not ideal, and they look ugly as hell, but they'll do for now

I guess I'll just have to hold out hope that the 840's undergo some kind of design revision then. I certainly got used to their finesse, and I wouldn't want a harsh sounding replacement

That's a shame.. ah well To be honest, aside from the build quality, I'm really happy with the SRH840's. I would just be satisfied with an equivalent that won't break. Any other ideas, or will the M50 suffice?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I have the SRH840 - both hinges have eventually snapped over a period of two years. I really liked the sound of these headphones, but I'm unwilling to buy Shure again because of this obvious quality control issue that others have also experienced. Can anyone...

To be honest, if you are just using them at home, and you take care of them, they should be fine. They are worth it just for the sound, which is better than many of higher end headphones I was testing today.. Honestly nothing really came close.. Also, as you aren't interested with being...

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=srh840-broken   Mine broke today - the plastic snapped above the left ear, so I did a little research, look like these cans are a bit weak in this area as it appears to be a common fault.   I've contacted Shure, but since I got them (albeit new and...

Title says it all really... Got a pair of old Sony MDR-F1's that have a busted unimatch plug.. I'd like to snip it off and replace it with a similar style of plug (that has a screw on/off jack plug as standard) and I now notice several manufacturers employ the same style of plugs on their...

thanks for all the great info guys, I'll have a look into what you suggest...

on-board sound I'm afraid.. I don't intend to get a soundcard

well, whatever is coming through my pc I guess... but if I was pushed... then gaming..

Hi thanks for replying... Yeah I forgot to mention that I have a budget of less than £100 (approx $150ish) I hadn't thought about using a usb middleman thing... sounds interesting, but I wonder how it would alter the sound (if it does at all). I assume the Sennheiser ones (which are made...

Hi guys, I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask this, but hey I thought I'd try anyway... I'm looking to get some big full size headphones to be used with a pc. The connection must be USB, as I get too much inteference through a normal jack connection at present. I have quite...

got my x3's (black with silver ring) the other day, burning them in as I speak. Got ue tips. using them with a Meizu M3 (ace!) Early impressions are very good, but then I haven't tried any iem's before, they beat the living $hit out of any buds I've ever tried however. Yes, I'm scared...

hah, nah I meant I didn't want to procrastinate for ages over this, I just wanted some people who already knew their $hit to tell me what to do.. Usually when I want to buy something I take way too long. Its all done now. Looks like I'm gonna be a member of the Mylar club Cheers...

hmm looks like I'm leaning toward the MylarOnes. That Jaben website is pretty damn poor though.. Doesn't give much info. Can I request black ones? Thanks for everyones help

cheers guys for all the info.. Hey Claus-DK, the prices are £GBP, so the D-Jays are a bit more than $50 Thats worrying about the Etymotics, I wonder whether anyone else had this problem? Cheers

So are the etymotics worth getting, even the low end? Where should I be buying (uk or abroad), and how much would they be? Just checked ebay, how reputable are the ones on here?

I tried searching, but I thought this maybe a bit more specific and to the point, also I don't have a huge amount of time, I need to be getting them in the next few days. Sorry dude Hmm the etymotics may be stretching my budget a bit.. If enough people gave it the go ahead, maybe, but I...

thanks for the quick replies and welcomes, Yeah I'm using £Sterling, I'll add the mylars. How reputable are Xtrememac, and whats the comfort like? Ok, I'll remove the Skullcandys from my list. Here are the websites I'd be buying from (click to view): Shure E2G Shure E2C Goldring...
