Would using the 3.5mm adapter with the Sennheiser HD 598 degrade the sound quality compared to when using the 6.3 mm plug?

I have had Westone 3 for 2 years and the cable is already broken. In fact there is a default at the exact point between the end of the cable and the section of the cable that is bigger before entering the earplug. That point is being flex all the point when you listen to your earphone (because...

So I sent my Ultimate Ears 700 to be replaced as I had broken my cable and to my surprise UE had redesigned the cabling on the new IEMs (My replacement was brand new and sealed in retail packaging)! The cabling is much better and greatly reduces one of the issues that I had with the UE700 which...

  I recently shipped my mtpc to monster cable in brisbane for rma. And apparently monster lost the delivered airmail! What the heck really.. Mediocre seriously. There wasn't even any reply from monster through their website email. I had to go to their facebook page to seek help..   Anyone...

Hi Guys, Could somebody tell me all the options for upgrading the Hd600's cable? Thanks, Mat

Are the HD650 stock cable a perfect fit onto the HD600/580? In terms will the plug fit all the way in and what not for the drivers, because the plug caseing/housing seems to be bigger so I assume it might not hook up due to slight different size/shape.

A few weeks ago my headphones started cutting out while using them on the go. When I use them with my phone that's in my pocket the right earphone's audio cuts out when the part of the cord near the jack moves around at all. I don't have issues when I use them with my computer because I'm not...

A little help needed please.   Instead of buying a headphone amp, I put all my allotted money into 2 new headphones (Grado 225's, and soon to buy the Beyerdynamic 770-Pro 80ohm or the DT 990 32ohm/or/250ohm).   I have a Denon AVR-810 receiver that I'd like to plug my headphones into and...

I got a used set of VSonic GR07 on here and I am trying to recable them.  The funny thing is when I opened up the wire that was broken from the original GR07 cord, it was only one wire.  I have always worked with 2 wires going to one earphone.  I could have sworn when I took off the right...

Is there a plug in converter that makes it possible to plug in mic and speaker plug (or whahtever you call the part that connects to the computer) of a headset and connect it to the computer as USB?

Dear god, does anyone know of a triple.fi 10 / super.fi 5 cable replacement that's not Ultimate Ears and that has a microphone / button?   I go through the UE VI cable every 2 months. I've literally went through a dozen. It's driving me crazy. They quality on the UE brand cables are...

Well my cables on my ue-11 pro and my ue-5c need to be replaced and I am wondering if the jhaudio cables will fit. They are a bit less expensive than the ue replacement cables and Jerry invented the ones I have.

Hi guys I'm new to this forum, so try not to flame me that much.   I've just got my TripleFi and notice that the left and right earphones sounds different, the left sounds muffled whereas the right sound treble-like. Is this the way it suppose to work or faulty?

Well I've got some mild scratches on the headphone 3.5mm male plug bit, very light scratches and some small scratches on the black bit (you can't see them in a photo with a 12 megapixel camera if that helps)   I'm wondering if I should be worried if the jack is going to break any time soon...

I'm getting a pair of ATH-M50's soon, but I don't know if I should get the straight or the coiled cable.  I'll use them at home for monitoring, but I'm also going to use them walking around such as at school and in the car.  I was thinking about getting the straight cable, but I think I'll have...

I was wondering which of these phones would better suite me. I've owned the HD650 on two separate occasions but didn't have an amp for them either time. So they were, like everyone says, slow, dull, and kinda boring with out proper amplification. Will running them balanced make them fast enough...

So, my re-262's had their cable go bad very shortly after purchasing them so I sent them back to hifi man.  They send me a new pair, but this pair came unbalanced and with a less flexible, MUCH longer cable.  I contacted them and they said they only have one version of cable, which is obviously...

Hi all, I've been lurking these forums for several months now and a few months ago made the first step to hearing my music. I bought a couple pairs of over ear headphones that I love, but decided to get better iem's for on the go. I was (and I suppose for the moment, still am) using Bose in...

Is there anyway to change the plug to an angled one? My straight plug is losing connection. Edit: Found a tutorial. http://andreasodegard.com/2009/05/tutorials-how-to-fix-audio-jacks/ Would this work for the B2? It has a braided cable.

one of the speakers stopped playing so i need to recable. the think is i dont have any experience with stuff like that so i have few questions. What cable would be good to buy in uk, i dont have much money to spend. Also would be possible to do it at home, i have screwdrivers but nothing else...

Hi, everyone.   I study Music Tech and my lecturer has recommended we buy Beyer DT100 for studio work. I recently got mine and have just unboxed them. The connection cable doesn't want to find in the headphones though. The pins line up and stuff, but it's putting up a lot of resistance when...

So just having paid for a pair of used lcd-2's from a friend I need a dac/amp to go along with them....I want something I can easily move since these cans will be traveling to work/home a lot....after looking around I thought a good rig would be an ibasso d12 dac out to the sr-71b for the amping...

Hello Head-Fi,   Today I started listening to my Sennheiser IE8s and I noticed that the right channel sounded much too quiet. After checking to make sure that they were properly inserted into my ears, I realized that the right channel seems to have lost almost all its volume, although there...

Hi All,   I've just started into the whole world to headphones and all of your posts have been a pleasure to read.   I recently bought a pair of JVC FX-33s and I wanted to replace the cord because the microphonics are just too much for me.   Can anyone please tell me how to remove...

Hi guys! I'm new to the forum so if I wrote this in the wrong place or am not allowed to start buying threads, I'm sorry!   So anyways, I've got one SE420 which only the left earphone works. If anyone's got a SE420 with only the right earphone working, I would love to buy it and try to fix...
