I was thinking of getting the DT 770 PRO-80, but much to my dismay the cable is not detachable. Looking on here, as well as the Internet, it looks like this can be easily remedied if you're willing to make a little project out of it. My question is, does it matter the quality of the jack...

Worst thing happened to me this morning...  usually on the subway with my earphones plugged in, but today since I was with a friend I did not need any music so I had them clipped to my collar.  As I got out of the train, the earphones dropped to the floor and my foot stepped over them pulling...

Looking through on eBay there looks to be two different packaging used for the Koss KSC75 earphones and I was wondering if there's a difference between the two or if one is bootleg or not.

I want to cut out a hole in the Sony MDR-V150 ear cups and was wondering what the best dremel bit to use would be. I know getting a hole saw would be easier, but I prefer going the dremel route. Should I use discs to cut or those drill-like bits? The ear cups have a small dome shape so I was...

Looking forward to this weekend when I'll be implanting the Koss KSC75 earphones into the Sony MDR-V150. There's three possible solutions that I see for the cable from the KSC75. 1. leave the cables dangling out of the ear cup 2. cut a slit into the ear cup and slide the cable through 3...

I'm currently thinking of getting a pair of the cheap Sony MDR-V150 headphones just for the headband so that I can stick the Koss KSC75 earphones inside. The only issue is leather breaks down and I know the type Sony uses is crap so does anyone know if it's possible to replace these pads either...

This morning my coworker asks me to put on these earphones and plays the Transformers movie for me... the sound coming out of these Koss clip ons sounded really nice, but neither of us could figure out the model. Hopefully someone here knows which one these are. Sorry for the quality... all I...

I have a friend who's really looking forward to an upcoming concert and would like to be able to record the concert using the iPod. Anyone have any suggestions?

Currently I have a Dell notebook running Windows for iTunes inside VMWare under Linux and the notebook's soundcard is connected to my receiver. iTunes, Windows, Linux and the receiver all have their own volume controls so I was wondering what do you guys do with all these volume controls?

I currently have two pairs of the Etymotic ER4P earphones and the original one I purchased back in the day seem to have stiffer cables than the second hand pair I purchased recently. The cable below the green pod feels similar, but the thinner cables that go to the left and right ears seem to be...

Anyone out there with a pair of these? I've had mine for a while now and while I do enjoy the sound it produces I'm not too happy about getting the pads on them replaced so I'm wondering if anyone out there with these headphones have found ways around replacing these hard to find pads.

Is it possible to print out a thread that's more than a page long? I've got some serious Head-Fi reading to catch up on and what better time to do so on the train and for my upcoming jury duty.

Currently I'm using the Cambridge Soundworks DTT 2500 speakers with my ONKYO receiver as I'm on a budget and they seem to be doing fine. Problem is the subwoofer that came with this speaker set is non-powered so it won't work with this receiver unless I get an amp for it. What I'm wondering is...

Been reading up on the burning in of headphones and it seems like an interesting concept that I would like to try out especially since I have a new pair of headphones on its way. Because the time it takes to properly go through this process is a lengthy one I was wondering if it's okay to stop...

Recently I made a 75 ohm P -> S cable for my Etymotic ER4P and I would say that I've been paying a little more attention to the details of what I'm listening to. That said, I'm wondering if I'm beginning to experience other details or is there something wrong with my hearing/equipment. Some of...

I mistakenly cut off the RCA input connector to expose the two wire leads for my subwoofer until I realized I could have just used the RCA connector. Instead of going to Radioshack and picking up a new RCA input connector to connect it, I was wondering how I can figure out which wire lead to...

Attempting to connect computer speakers to my receiver I had to cut off the RCA jacks at each end to expose the positive and negative wires so that they could be connected to the receiver. Got a little hasty and did the same with the subwoofer jack before I realized I could have just inserted...

Before I go ahead with using mp3gain on my iPod library I decided to run a test by first making a backup of my library to another drive. Then I had mp3gain go through my entire library, undo the changes and remove the tags and then compare the mp3gain'd library with the original. For the most...

Has anyone tried out the cable that APureSound is selling for the Etymotic? Wondering what this cable entails...

Recently I've created a cable with two resistors at the end of the cable right before the 1/8" jack, aka the Etymotic P->S cable. I've used shrink tubes to isolate each resistor and then another to keep them all together. Is there something else I can put over this to strengthen this area so...

Looks like I finally made the Etymotic ER4P -> S cable with the help of a coworker, shrink tubes, 2x 75ohm resistors and a gold plated RadioShack headphone extension cable. Tried to duplicate what Xin did, but it looks like RadioShack changed up their cables and so I had to cut the cable in the...

Plan on checking out the world of amplified portables so I stumbled upon this on eBay and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this particular cMoy off eBay... http://cgi.ebay.com/CMOY-MICRO-POCKE...QQcmdZViewItem

I listen to music of all types and today when I was in my car I was playing this hip-hop song that sounded like it was clipping at some points throughout the track. I have my 80GB iPod 5.5G connected to the cigarette lighter with some cheap dock connector that charges and plays through the...

I was wondering if people can attest to the quality of the Grado builds. I was over at J&R in NYC and they have headphones on display for testing and it looked like the Grados were in bad shape. The pin that holds the headband to the earpiece fell out in one of them and it looked like the...
