I have a pair of Earsonics SM64 earphones. One shell has a crack in it that is developing and also one of the BAs (in the other channel) is potentially failing as there seems to be a channel imbalance in the L and R channels (causing an image shift). I'm in US and could potentially send to ES...

Hi, i have been reading this really helpful forum since a while now, but this is my first post here :) I am (was) a proud owner of a new Audio GD R2R-2 DAC, bought in February 2018. It has played music flawlessly for 2 months when it decides to stop producing sound, no matter the inputs used...

We’ve all been there. We put in our earphones and either one side doesn’t work, or it cuts in and out while you’re moving. Repairing earphones is a real pain. In most cases it’s better off to buy a new set. But sometimes you just get bored so... Recently I picked up a pair of Sennheiser...

Hello all, Some people trying to convert their MKI units to MKII with ASUS DSD upgrade kit or via reflashing their DIP8 EEPROM chips with appropriate firmware face the issue of inability to update their MCU chip. Updating MCU firmware to version 0.64 is essential to complete transformation to...

Emergency! My JVC HA-SZ2000s had the right channel go out a month ago. No visible damage to cable as far as I can tell. I was wondering if anyone had the PCB pin outs that handle the L&R channel wiring harness, or repair resources for this model? I can post pictures of the PCB and wiring if...

Greetings mates The right ear speaker of my HiFiMan HE-400S makes a buzzing sound like an electric razor at lower frequencies when sufficient volume is pumped into it. No issue whatsoever for the left ear with the same input. It was like this immediately after receiving it back from repair for...

Hi HF - I have a set of ultimate ears UE6000s. One of my earliest forays into nicer headphones. It, of course, has that shoddy 1.8" connection in the right ear and I haven't been able to keep them working well. I like the cans, but they get no use, so I am in to try a little headphone surgery...

*please delete* - question moved to the DIY area. Thanks! Hi HF - I have a set of ultimate ears UE6000s. One of my earliest forays into nicer headphones. It, of course, has that shoddy 1.8" connection in the right ear and I haven't been able to keep them working well. I like the cans, but...

Remember having some IEMs from Ultimate Ears back in the 2013, and they failed right after my warranty ended, after 3 warranty repairs. My friend, who have headphones store, told me he never had so much warranty claims as with UE. Are UEs more reliable now? I'm considering buying new...

Hi. I own a Sony 2.0 Wireless Headset. I know they're not mind-blowing, but I had to acquire these a few years ago due to technical reasons. Long story. Anyway, the headband is pretty much made entirely of plastic, and due to my big head the piece that provides tension has began cracking...

Hi, Ian here Am a new member, not used to posting on hi-fi forums, but find the threads informative & educational. As such I need some help on finding someone/company who can replace a shattered screen on a Astell & Kern AK240 in the UK. Thanks.

Hi, All I have the TFZ series 5 which I really like, however, the cable is faulty every time I move it I get interference or one side cut out, I can see the wire coming through the plastic right next to the 3.5mm jack. I have experience soldering and so would happily do it myself. Is there...

Hello, I recently damaged my beautiful ebony TH-X00 (combination of an awful case and clumsiness) and am really hoping there is some way I can repair them / have them repaired. There are some scratches and chips in the earcups, ideally I would simply replace the full earcups and get a Pelican...

So this is a part rant and part cry for help. One of my earpiece was jammed with the connector wire and when I disconnected it, the pin in MMCX on the earpiece broke off and got stuck to the wire. For comparison I think this is not a serious damage and when I asked Shure Asia to help me get...

I recently purchased an early model Austrian Q701 on eBay. The trouble is this, every so often, the Left side will fade to silence. I have checked the continuity between the mini-xlr terminals and the terminals that I assume lead to the driver. They are connected. The odd thing is that it...

A relative of mine had a pair of triple fi's and didn't like the comfort (just my luck) and passed them on to me. After a few weeks with them i noticed the left channel would cut out occasionally. Ive tried flipping the cable to see if it's an issue with the connector but it doesn't seem to be...

Have possibly a bit of an odd request from a head-fi peeker (rarely post, on/off viewer). So a relative of mine swears by the ATH-M70x's as of this moment for his own personal music mixing/editing ventures, doesn't dabble in full on monitors due to living with other folks in the same house. He's...

I have a XIaomi Piston 3 that I'm trying to replace its audio jack. This headphone has mic and remote control. I bought a new TRRS male plug with 4 connectors, but the headphone has 5 wires (red, green, white, copper, copper). I've searched a bit and I'm assuming the following: Tip of plug...

I found a pair of Koss K-6 at an antiques store and impulse bought them. Now I'm trying to refurbish them. There is a crackle when the cable is moved and they only work when the cable is in one particular position, so I will be either redoing the connections or the entire wire, but I digress...

Not very familiar with headphone sound issues. Is this something that is DIY fixable? I get the feeling that it needs to be diagnosed by a technician, but wanted to see if it may be an easy fix. If not would a regular electronics repair store be able to fix it?

Hi there, I am new to this community. I had genius hs-g500v for 4 years, which stopped working recently.though m buying superlux hd681 evo(are they good?) For future use,i wish i could fix my dead headset. So here's what happened.an year ago,the wire insulation at the end of jack started...

Hi, My Trinity Techne's left headphone stopped playing audio yesterday. If I fiddled with the wire as it runs into the headphone at the time I could get little moments of audio, which I guessed meant something had gotten loose inside. Now jiggling it does nothing. I've pried my way into the...

About a year ago, I tossed a pair of these IEMs in a drawer because the right channel went out, no sound at all, no amount of bending the wire will get it to work. I've since learned how to solder and have been itching to fix these, but I'm not sure where to start. Any tips?
