    Ear impression in Montréal, QC

    So it looks like the only option have the cable replaced on my q-jays is to have them re-shelled.  So be it but now I need my ear impressions.  Could anyone recommend an audiologist in the Montréal area?  How about diy kits?  How much should I expect to pay for ear impressions?

    Recabling q-jays

    My trusty q-jays, after a few years of very good service, have started glitching when I move the left cable.  I can see a small crack in the insulation so it's a no brainer to tell what the problem is:     http://ygingras.net/gal/l/misc/q-jays-cable-2.jpg   They are out of warranty and...

    New eartips for Q-Jays

    Hi, I have a pair of Q-Jays and I love them. But my love for them is not without it's share of problems since I wear them so often that after only one month and a half, I killed my memory foam tips. I'm now looking for a replacement. I prefer memory foam since I get the best balance of...

    From DT-770 pro 80 ohm to balanced DT-700 2005 250 ohm

    It went like that: I sold my DT-770 pro in order to get a pair of Ath-ESW9 but I didn't like how they clamped my glasses between my ears and my head so I traded the ESW9 for a pair of balanced DT-770 2005. I guess was a bit under of a rush to get back to 770 because I didn't even noticed I...

    Looking for audio benchmarks

    Greetings Headfiers, since I joined this forum, I went through several combinations of audio source, amplifier, and headphones. It seems that most people in here will test a pair of headphones by listening to music that they like with them. That makes a lot of sense if you want to know if...

    Ath-ESW9: not for a noisy office

    Hi, I work in a bull pen, the worst kind of cube farm setup that you can imagine if you need any concentration, that is, unless you know about headphones. I loved how my DT-770 help me survive that setup then I asked in here how I could upgrade them. I was recommended Ath-ESW10 JPN but as a...

    Headphones for noisy office

    Hi, a few months ago I ask in here for recommendation for a noisy office. I ended up buying DT-770 and I love them. Now that I'm convinced that high quality headphones are a tool that I need in order to do my work properly, I want to invest in an upgrade and possibly sell my DT-770s to a...

    Bluetooth headphones with lots of isolation?

    Greetings, since I bought a netbook, I listen to music almost exclusively on my laptop. There is something nice in having a single device with a huge hard drive, a huge music collection, and unified song ratings and play-lists following you all the time. At home and at work I usually...

    Recommendation for usb-powered amp

    I recently received a pair of DT770 Pro 80. I use them exclusively at work where I plug them into my laptop's dock station. Nickchen from this forum strongly suggested that I use them with an amplifier. Not knowing enough to make the right choice, I ordered a fiio mini amp just to see what...

    Beyer DT770: great for noisy offices

    A few weeks a ago, I asked for advice regarding a noisy cube farm. Thanks to your recommendations, I'm the proud owner a pair of Beyer DT770 Pro since last Thursday and I finally can enjoy tranquillity at work. Before the DT770, my only options were to offset my schedule so I would be...

    Recommendations for a noisy office

    Greetings, I work as a programmer in a noisy cube farm and I'm looking for a source of portable tranquillity. I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 435s and I really like them. I can wear then for hours without discomfort and their big red discs serve as a warning to my coworkers: if you kick me out...
