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...

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...

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...

I am going to buy the STAX SR-009S earspeaker, but am a novice in the high-end audio world, and need some advice selecting a full setup (amp + preamp) that won’t limit the performance of the SR-009S. My reason for this purchase is that I used to have a STAX SR-L500mk2 with an SRM-252ii amp...

I'm very new to all of this but have been doing a lot of reading on new headphones but can't decide what to buy. I don't have a DAC or amp. I will mostly use these headphones for gaming (often times competitive shooters like csgo) while on the call with friends and some light music listening or...

Saw a review on amazon of someone complaining about it. Can someone confirm if this is true for these speakers? Or maybe this person just got a defective unit?

As i was doing some research I came across a post (Which I can't seem to find again) where some people said uninstalling OEM drivers (If I remember correctly, in this case they were talking about the Audio Drivers that came with a Dell laptop) and just using Windows Audio Drivers gave them...

My audio setup consists of the tin t3 connected to the fiio M11. I was wondering whether spending money to buy a 4.4mmcx cable is worth it or not. Thanks!

So I have been reading that the HD 6XX works without an amp, (Source: A guy talking about that here on reddit), can some of the knowledgeable people from this forum confirm me this please? It is a big deal to me because I play rhythm games, so I need to avoid dac/amps to achieve the least...
