    Anker Q30 not charging properly. Is a replacement battery available?

    My Anker Q30 is not charging properly. No matter how long I charge it, when I turn it on I get the message "Battery low" and it is less than a year old. Is there some way to replace the battery, or will it be easier sending it to Anker for a fix? I think it should still be under warranty.

    I recently got an ASUS Celeron N3350 based mini notebook which I want to use as a more personal stuff related computer, such as playing music etc. Will the 1.1GHz Celeron CPU on it run Equalizer APO well enough? Spec is similar to this:

    FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Quote FiiO really dropped the ball on this one. Mine developed the same problem and the dealer said I had to return the whole package to get it fixed, so the cable is still languishing around. The Fiio guys said they would handle it themselves if the dealer insisted and I am yet to take up...

    Softer thicker earpads required for Beyerdynamic DT-250.

    I need some earpads to go with the DT-250. Their clamp force is to high and I need thicker softer earpads which will push the drivers farther away from my ears. It will be good if they are also larger which means less pressure and more comfort. What third party earpads should I be looking at...

    I need some earpads to go with the DT-250. Their clamp force is to high and I need thicker softer earpads which will push the drivers farther away from my ears. What third party earpads should I be looking at? It seems that earpads made for the Sony MDR-7506, the MDR-V6 and some other...

    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    Are there any videos showing how connectors are soldered to the cables, and wiring diagrams? I suspect that soldering cables to MMCX, 0.78mm and all the other connector types is a quite fiddly process, delicate error prone process.

    Do headphones sound better when the drivers are further away from the ears?

    Do headphones sound better when the drivers are further away from your ear? I'm developing the sentiment that headphones sound better when the drivers are further away from the ears. When the clamp force is strong the pads seem to push hard against your ears and the sound feels "forced" and...

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    It is not the earphone jack. It also gets disconnected in pavucontrol. That shouldn't happen unless the disconnection has been continued for a number of seconds. The same fault also occurs on the balanced connection.
