help

So my AD900x have been great to me ever since I bought them but the only issue was that the wire was so damn finnicky and would twist on itself. Well my wire finally started ripping because of it twisting so I searched for a way to replace it and found this thread on here to replace the wire. I...

Hi All, Looking for some help here.. Googling has been driving me nuts. I want to pick up playing guitar again, but I'd like to play quietly with headphones. This is something I've never done, though, so it's all new to me.. Is it possible to run the guitar into an audio interface, hook up the...

Hello all, I have been suffering from audio imbalance issues for quite some time now, the left channel is slightly stronger/louder then the right one. at first i thought it may be a faulty pair of headphones so i bought a new pair of dt990 pros and im running them through a fiio k5 pro dac/amp...

Posted a duplicate thread by accident please ignore this one https://www.head-fi.org/threads/recommendations-for-me.956516/ is the new post. Sorry for the mistake.

I am having problems getting my JDS Atom to work with my Denon AVR-3802 that I've had for years. I use the Denon for the phono-in to listen to vinyl and it's also doubling as a DAC in my setup here. Ultimately, the goal is to play records through the Denon through the JDS Atom and out to my...

I bought a pair of AKG K240 like 2 years ago and I'm not satisfied with the sound, I regret investing in the whole open back thing. I always used cheap closed back headphones so I thought open back weren't going to be such a problem for me, but I was wrong. I can't focus on the music and every...

Long story short I wasn't paying attention and plugged a single ended cable into the 3.5mm to 4.4mm adapter I used with my Zen Can. I noticed when I was only getting audio out of the right ear piece and it sounded like crap. What are the odds I've damage the amp? It seems to be working fine but...

Long story sort I wasn't paying attention and plugged a single ended 3.5mm cable into the 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter I use on my Zen Can. How likely is it I have just damaged the thing? It is currently still working,

As the title states, I'm looking for recommendations for my audio setup. PC's main purpose is gaming, with light movie/music on the side. Current Set-Up: Sound Card: Creative Ae-9 Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium (600 Ohms) Somewhat cheap (but great) XLR microphone. Both mic and...

This is not so much to do with sound quality for once ( though i do want to address a little thingy about that too). and its not about a single pair of headphones. This is about issues across the board that I stugle with and have done so for years- given my sensitive nature to such things.:- So...

I have this bizarre problem, and after a lot of trial and error I’m not sure how to fix it. Basically on only the right side of my Focal Elegias, at high frequencies, the sound distorts the higher you crank the volume. This only happens on my Windows 10 computer, and not on my iPhone or laptop...

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read this! I just received my Rose Mini3Pro and they don't have any mesh to stop unwanted debris from entering into the IEM. Is this normal? (first time I've seen it) Any advice or tricks to not accidentally get something in there. I'm open to modding if...

I was using the ATH-M50X but wasn’t satisfied with the sound and gaming performances so decided to make an upgrade. My total budget is about 1700$, both for gaming and music listening. About music, I usually listen to hip-hop, r&b, EDM, pop, and rock. It needs to have great imaging and...

Hey, I recently bought my first headphone amp (Fiio e10k) to use with a pair of audiotechnica M50x and I noticed three types of noise: A high pitched sound that lasts for some seconds after I pause any sound. I can also hear it during quiet moments in musics. An even higher pitched sound...

Hello, I bought my little brother an SMSL SP200 a while ago as a gift. I recently found out that whenever our mom cleans his room she unplugs his amp. He said that every time she unplugs it or re-plugs it back in, she wiggles the head of the power cord a lot instead of simply pulling/pressing...

After many years of production and being a mix \ mastering engineer - I realized my love for darker headphones IS for music listening, and because my ears are sensitive in the high frequencies area, BUT when it comes to production and mixing; I benefit so much from MY FIRST bright headphones...

Hello everyone, Hopefully this is the right place to post this.. if not I apologize in advance - thank you for understanding. I'm a proud and happy owner of an MASSDROP X ALEX CAVALLI TUBE HYBRID AMP and I'm loving it so far - have had it for about two months. The only "problem" I've...

Hello everyone, First I would like to apologize because I mistakenly posted this on the wrong thread. I don't know how to delete the first one. It was posted on "Headphone Amps (Full-sized). So, if anyone can help me with deleting my 1st post that would be wonderful. Anyway, I am a home music...

This a brand new Sennheiser GAME ONE headset. It seems that the left speaker grille cloth is a little bit loose, not quite tight. I could even overlap it if I tried. It makes an annoying rattling noise on lower frequencies. If I gently press down a bit, the rattle's gone. Is there any way I...

Can someone please help me with installing spotify onto two sp1000m's. I've managed to install the apk file of Tidal onto one but not the other. When I drag the Spotify APK file into the Openservice folder then go to services on either sp1000m's, nothing shows up. I am downloading the apk files...

I know this post should be in the DIY thread however I can't seem to post in there yet! Sorry If i'm posting this in the wrong place. I bought a pair of beyerdyamic DT990 Pros second hand from eBay. The guy said nothing was wrong with them but it's partly my fault for being that gulluble he...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new pair of closed back, wired headphones. I've been doing my research, but I keep seeing contradicting opinions and I'm kinda lost. I'm looking for and everyday pair that I can use for music and games. I'm looking to spend less than $300 USD and as I said above, I...

While looking for a TWS to listen to music/podcasts while jogging I found the S101 and it seems like a decent one. My question is that if there's something better at the same price range since the S101 is kind of an 'old' model. If I had to rate what I prefer on a TWS it would be like: Sound...

Hi guys, I own a pair of HD600 that I am very happy with, I then decided it was time to treat the headphones with some new upgraded cable, and since my RHA DacAmp L1 have a balanced 4-pin mini xlr output, I went with a Mini-XLR cable that came with some adapters for other types of plugs. The...
