    I screw** up my HD580 drivers where do I buy replacements?

    long story short I was going to clean hair off of some used hd580s I bought after having my HD600's die and the Membrane got damaged on the left side and somehow the right side became distorted because the foam in the spider cage disintegrated and one thing (one thing) led to another and here I...

    Hello everyone. Yesterday I entered the "midrange" with my "new" HD580, but I have some questions.

    I finally entered the "midrange" with my "new" HD580 for 170$ which is from a guy who apparently used it for 15 years. He almost sold it for 17$ as a mistake (I had to pay for it when it got delivered) but I corrected him later and he got the full asking price after I noticed him about the...

    Headphone Driver (speaker) Covers - How To Minimize Acoustic Diffraction ?

    Starting last (2022) summer I began watching eBay for used Sony headphones in the 'MDR' family. I've had an MDR-V6 and MDR-7506 for years (most people consider them almost identical except for the 7506 being slightly 'brighter') and wanted to see how some of the other Sony headphones (in...

    There are quite a lot of choices for dynamic drivers on Aliexpress. Are there any drivers to avoid or go for? Looking to make a pair of custom headphones.

    [SOLVED] Loxjie D10 DAC/amp with lots of issues - no driver worked so far

    SOLVED by using Windows 10. Was struggling with the graphics card (drivers didn't want to install, so I updated the OS first), so my response was a bit delayed. Both D10 drivers worked. I was looking for a new desktop DAC that is better than my xDuoo Link and FiiO M3K and found Loxjie D10...

    Do headphones sound better when the drivers are further away from the ears?

    Do headphones sound better when the drivers are further away from your ear? I'm developing the sentiment that headphones sound better when the drivers are further away from the ears. When the clamp force is strong the pads seem to push hard against your ears and the sound feels "forced" and...

    Lots of questions with no answers

    I've recently become very interested in sound systems, especially how everything works. (i.e. How digital to analog works, how do analog sound look, etc.) The main question I could not find any answers to was how do speaker drivers understand analog data sent to them. Are there any specific...

    Driver updates for the Fostex HP series??

    I hear the drivers are bunk on the Windows 10 content creators update. That's been out for a long while now. I'm in the market for an amp for my new TH900s and was looking hard at the HP-A8MK2 or HP-A4BL, but with support like this, I'm not so sure. Has there been any word on a fix? Any...
