UPDATE: Solved the problem! Ignore! Can't find where the delete thread button is. Got the AKG D5 mic the other day, and as an XLR noob, have only been met with problems. First it wasn't producing any sound at all - then I got a phantom power device even though it's a dynamic just to see. And...

Hello everyone Today i got a new pair of headphones ( fidelio x2hr). The sound is great but I can't tell if something explodes nearby or further away. When you are wearing the fidelio x2hr you are supposed to get sounds around you, that is not what I get. The sound is more in my head like a...

I'm looking for a good sounding gaming Headset, my top two picks are the Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X (119$) and the ATH-AD500x with mod mic (~110$). I play mostly FPS games like PUBG, Battlefield 1 or CS:GO. Which headset would you pick? Thanks for you help Deichgrav

Selling my Verizon V20. It's carrier unlocked so it will work with any similar. It also has root access. Has one very minor scuff at the back of the phone, though you really have to look for it to notice it. The phone will be factory reset when I find a buyer. Shipping to Canada/USA only...

It's my first post in Head-fi, I don't know if it's right here, if it's not right which forums should I post, maybe it's a silly question! I have a device that has only one set of analog audio out signals that are amplified for headphone usage. I want to be able to use these signals to output to...

Sorry there's no TL;DR because there's just too much details to leave out IMO ): I apologise in advance for the long story, just thought I should flesh out the details so people can have a clear story of what I need. I have recently decided to replace an old & cheap Sades headset that has a...

My Sound Blaster Audigy Rx/5 came with a default of 16 bit, 48,000 Hz, but I changed it to 24 bit, 48,000 Hz. I was just curious if there was a piece of software that would know what settings were best when. (BTW I know little about sample rate and bit depth so I apologize if this was a stupid...

Hi! I am looking to buy the HMNSound MicroLav, however, the only place I find it is on B&H and they say it will take 3-5 weeks for me to get it :/ Anyone know of another place to buy these? Thanks!

Hey all, I have used Head-Fi for years to increase my knowledge of headphones and to figure out what I might like. This is my first post, so thanks in advance for any assistance. I am at a bit of loss right now about what to do. I was very happy with my ATH-AD900x headphones, but they let me...

Just had this thought go through my head today: it'd sure be nice if you could buy a portable music player (or have software on your computer, or a smartphone app) with an AI program that could take crappy-sounding MP3s, analyze the music data, make "smart" guesses about what sonic data is...

I have this old audio extension cable that I bought from ebay a long time ago. It seems to work fine with earphone connectors that have two bands (the circular rings). With three rings (earphones with mic have these), it has a hard time finding a proper connection, audio keeps cutting out. So, I...

I don't know if this is the best place to ask because it's more of a headset than headphones but I've been using the kraken 7.1 for at least a year or two and it seems that whenever I'm on windows 10 the audio starts clipping when I have them on high volume ( ) The odd part is that when i'm on...

I want to connect my Devialet sound system to my computer (sound from computer to sound system to speakers), there's no USB input in that sound system but there is RCA (referring to digital). So i thought that I might be able to use some kind of adapter from USB input to digital RCA input, but I...

Hey guys, Just thought I'd start up a thread for this product, as I feel it's not getting enough visibility. https://www.bluewaveaudio.ca Meet Get by Bluewave Audio. This is a portable amp which now couples as a DAC since their latest update! Here's a rundown of the specs off the site...

Greetings! I just want to listen mp3 (128 kbps to 320 kbps) via my android phone. So 70-80 $ bluetooth headphone (on/over the ear) can give same quality like ( 20$ chip wire headphone) ? My current headphone (happy with quality)...

Hello all, So I am currently considering buying a new pair of earbuds/IEMs and don't know what to get. There are numerous options out there and so many of them seem to just barely fit what I need while others not so much. I currently use a pair of RHA MA750s (no "i") with Comply foam Sport tips...
