    mdrv6 wiring help

    After a few years of sitting in a box as parts, I finally decided to put back my mdrv6.  Sound is fine, except it is now reversed (right is left, left is right).  Anyone familiar with the wiring?  Possibly have a picture of yours lying around?   t.i.a!

    AT ES7 or AT A500/700 or Sennheiser HD280 recommendations for closed cans please

    i would also rule out the hd280s for portability... they're quite bulky and larger than what they seemed in pictures. (they're not the smoothest sounding cans either, not bad.. just not that great) but they do isolate rather well (comparitively). i also own the a700, and while i highly...

    The lightest and most comfortable headphone

    i love my ur40 - though i have to admit, it took awhile for me to get used to the sound. by far the easiest to wear for long periods of time.

    Open air headphones + Speaker system = amazing?

    seems to me like the headphones would interfere with the surround effect. or vice-versa. on the other hand, i know people have discussed using a sub to compliment headphones. i sometimes use a closed phone over my iems for more bass and isolation- which sounds pretty incredible. i use my...

    DT880 Pad Mod, Is There A Way?

    if you're brave and sure you want to do it: find two suitable "plates" that the pads will lie flat between. put the "sandwich" in a pot, fill with water. put something heavy enough to compress the sandwich down and heat. dont boil. about bath water hot should be sufficient. the amount of...

    Sennheiser HD 280

    i have to go along with most everyone here. unless you plan on doing some modding to them, the bass doesnt have much impact - but overall it does extend quite well into the lower, sub-bass freqs. personally i struggled with their comfort for awhile. had to do some rather extensive modding to...

    audiocubes sent me free headphones!

    just received an airborne package from japan. audio-technica ath-f55 - no other documentation or explanation packaged with it. but i do remember filling out a review on my a700 awhile ago. i just checked audiocubes.com and saw my name on the front page! how exciting.

    How many headphones do you *actually* use?

    i use four at work. all four are hooked up to my presonus hp4 (4 headphone outs). if it weren't for the presonus, i'd probably just use one. just 1 at home. just 1 for portable.
