    The Universal IEM with the best soundstage?

    I have been using my Head-Direct RE-0 for three years now and I like their detailed and clear sound, but I have grown tired of their flat soundstage. Moreover, the RE-0's housing keeps breaking. To find a replacement, I auditioned the sennheiser IE8 and I instantly fell in love with the...

    Reparing broken iBasso t1 minijack in

    My iBassos “minijack in” does not make a good contact with the headphone minijack and only plays one stereo channel sometimes. I think what caused the problem was when the headphone minijack was moving from side to side in my pocket causing the metal inside the minijack in to get loose. Is there...
