headphone-cables

So, now that AmpCity have stolen my money and are no longer replying to emails about my order, I need to get hold of a replacement cable for my custom TF10 that they remoulded. Cost is an issue as they've already taken money off me and there is no sign of getting it refunded. I would...

Hey! I've had my AKG K702's a while now and have taken the stock cable out a few times, although I tried to to take it out before and it just. will. not. come. out.   I've pushed the little button right down and tried to pull it out hard and nothing happens, I've tried to pull it like...

Why do my gold plated headphone plug bits get scratched by simply inserting and unplugging from headphone jacks? I see they start to form a faded slightly purple ring or rings around the bit, or have a slight scratch on them. Is this normal? Look at your plugs and look to see if you see...

Hey all!   My Sennheiser's cable is busted and it makes listening to music an excruciating experience. I need to change them, but before ordering the replacement I wanted to ask you if anyone knew an alternative to that cable which I find to be a tad too long sometimes. Is there a shorter...

I know i know, but I need a cable sooner rather than later, and i'd like it to be 90deg and fit the MrSpeakers MadDog. Will this be fine? I realize cables are a topic like religion, but are these going to seriously degrade performance vs. the stock Mad Dogs cable?  ...

Hello!! I have been browsing the forum for quite some time and I have received a lot of helpful information. =) I have a couple of questions regarding the Westone UM3X RC please. I will be purchasing a set of these soon. 1) If I want to upgrade the cable, who makes them? 2) portable amp.. Can...

I'm wondering, would it be hard to DIY a custom cable for the Sennheiser HD25 to include an inline control for iPhones and android phones? Do they already sell this?

Hello,   I purchased a brand new pair of Ultrasone Pro 900's less than one year ago from ebay. While they sound amazing, I started having an issue with the included 3.5mm headphone cable about one month ago. Sound will only come out of one side of the headphones. I know it is the cable...

Does anyone have a pair of SM3s that they know are hooked up properly? I'm trying to figure out where the blue and red dots go.   (TF10 problem fixed :) )

I just received a <beautiful> pair of Pioneer SE-700s. I am absolutely in love with them, both looks and sound.   However, merely one day after I got them, the headphone side of the cable began going out. I desperately need someone to recable them, but they're so hard to work with I can't...

I have a set of fidelity custom duals that I have had for around 3 years or so (before they started stealing money ;)) and the left side of the cable started shorting out.  Due to the company not being reputable any longer, I obviously didn't want to order a replacement set from them.  So I...

I recently purchaced a pair of edition 8.... I wanted to recable it with a better cable... but after recieving the headphone, I could not dare to open them up..... SO I was thinking about buying a extension cable... When I use a better extension cable, is there any chance of the sound...

Well, I use it on RCA connectors, ICs, tube pins and sockets but have never tried on the headphone plugs.  Some of my phones have the Furutech FP-704 plug which is huge and for some reason they like to seat too nicely in the amp...lol....Nothing wrong with the plugs, just looking to lube it up a...

I think mine need it. The cables are super thin and subject to constant static and interference from my computer whereas my Grados with their thicker, better shielded cable do not suffer from the same issues. I was wondering if anyone has recabled these headphones and if so, could you shed some...

Did some Google searching as both my P5 cables have been worn up. I found what looks to be a decent cable. Looked up a forum or two and they mentioned a "Marantz PEC/P5 cable" which led me to this. Some more quick searching and I found the Japanese (It's Japan Amazon!) Amazon page for the PEC/P5...

Am thinking about buying this amp; wondering if anyone else out there is using it and what your thoughts are...   TIA - Rich

I am considering buying the Audeze LCD-2's however they are very expensive. If I got them, I would only be able to spend $300 on a Desktop Amplifier/DAC. Which Desktop Amplifier/DAC do you think is best for the Audeze LCD-2's for under $300?

Hi   I please forgive my complete ignorance on this matter.I recently purchased a Sony D25 along with Sennheiser hd 595 headphones,everything sounds great but I would now like to get a Slee Novo headphone amp. My question is how will this work? presumably the amp is connected to the D25 via...

Hi guys, just bought a pair of fostex T50RP. I wanted a pair of headphones to keep for a long time and mod. After reading a few reviews here I was under the impression that they come with an 1/8" jack and have a 1/4" as an adapter. Mine came with an 1/4" input. Any idea if there are two...

Intro   Frank from Toxic Cables has been kind enough to let me audition his 8-wire hybrid IEM cable. My ears were pleased, however, my wallet was not as I ended up liking the cable so much that I had to buy it. Much like the one released by Whiplash this cable is also a hybrid cable...

I bought a pair of Sunrise Xciteds a few months ago, and when I have them plugged into my computer via a 3.5mm extension, I am hearing popping, and it feels like static between my IEMs and my ears. I'm thinking that the problem might be buildup of static in the extension cable, which is then...

Hi, I want to ask you some advice, I would like to rewire my HD 600 with cables Toxic Cables, currently on my HD 600 I as a Cardas cable. In particular, I would ask you, if there is a big difference between the Viper and the Silver Poison in listening, and if the difference with the Cardas...

At first it was my oldest pair, the headphones that started it all for me, the Sennheiser HD212 Pro's. He severed both left + and - wires. Fortunately I could fix those (but the OFC doesn't really apply anymore, so there's that nagging in the back of my mind), and what a PITA that was!  ...
