    Apple AirPod Max

    I’m thinking about getting them because I have an Apple ecosystem at the house. Most of my headphone listening (sadly) is now with some kind of video. On the iPad or AppleTV. My question. If anyone has any experience with eBay sellers that specifically sell the refurbished headphones...

    Durable headphones

    looking to get my kids some headphones. They need to be able to take a beating, with sound quality being secondary. Especially the cable, they seem to always break the connection. I don’t want wireless headphones, don’t want to deal with charging them. Yes, I know. Blasphemy.

    Sony headphones.

    I like the Sony sound. I currently have the SA5000. Bought them new. I've been out of the headphone scene for some time. Concentrating on blue tooth gear for simplicity. Just looking for the new production flagship Sony headphones. The key is if they are available in the USA. Full warranty...

    Hifiman Headphones disassemble

    I'm looking to remove the plastic ear cups and the matching circular piece that houses the adjustment arm.  Any reference on how to safely remove it?  The ear cups should be pretty easy (I'm going to recable them at the same time) but the adjustment arm piece doesn't look straightforward.  ...

    Hifiman and comfort strap

    Curious if anyone has done it and if you like it? And how did you do it? I have one on my Fostek and it is very nice. Currently I have a padded headband on my hifiman and am looking into this option.

    Hifiman connection change

    I am going to change out the ear cups in my Hifiman headphones and I think this will be a great time to completely eliminate the mini coaxial connection that is there now.       Mainly because I really really don't like them and I am having issues with them.   I can directly connect the...

    Work out iem

    Looking for a durable pair of iems with a less tangly cord. Sound quality has to be good but not necessarily great. Currently I am using some monoprice iems. They sound good and are really cheap (sub $5). However they are kinda microphonic and super tangly wires. Too early to tell about...

    Fostex T50RP replacement cable

    I'd like to replace the stock cable on my Fostex T50RP.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, and I do not think I'll "gain" any sonic improvements.  My desire to replace them is purely aesthetics.     I don't like the look of the thin cable nor the 1/4 inch connector.     Is...

    nuForce Icon HDP upgrade?

    Been pretty pleased with the nuForce HDP dac/amp combination. I do everything with this unit. Music, gaming and movies. Using optical, found USB was hit or miss with certain games. Using Beyer 770&880s. Also using Sony 5ks. I'm not that experienced with dac/amp combos and was wondering what...

    Hacking a USB Bluetooth dongle

    Is it possible to provide power and signal to a USB Bluetooth dongle and pair it to headphones? Basically supply the 5 volts and then the stereo signal (left / right). Or does the USB dongle require a computer signal?

    Looking for a used watch

    If I was looking for a great community and used head phones, I'd be here!   Now if I was looking for a used watch, were would you recommend I lurk?  Not actively seeking anything in particular, just window shopping and will buy something that catches my eye.  New retail, $2-7k, so looking...

    Looking for a specific wireless headphone

    Looking to get some wireless "surround" headphones.  I know, I know, believe me.  Its only to watch movies.   I've had a Pioneer set for years and I really really like them.  We moved and have a dedicated AV closet to have the main viewing area very minimal.  What that means is I need a...

    Headphone drivers

    For full sized (not IEM) headphones, where to get replacement drivers?  I would love drop in replacements, but I know that is not going to happen.  Specifically looking for 50mm drivers.    Eh, its an experiment and a chance to learn, so I'll take the plunge.

    Sony SA5000 versus HE-400

    Comparing these two specific headphones.  I'm not going to deny it, I'm an addict and looking for a reason to buy more stuff.  However, this time I am asking, well, because I have too much stuff.  No need in getting more stuff just for the sake of getting more stuff.   At any rate.  I listen...

    Anyone know where I can buy AKG 701/702/271/272 headphone connector

    Looking for a place to buy that connector for the AKG.  Want to make my own cable, but I don't want to destroy the factory cable just to get the connector.

    AKG 701/702 ear pads

    Are there after market or official replacement earpads available?  Looking for real leather.       I am looking for 271 replacements but they are the same size as 701/702 which more people are familiar with.

    Looking for spare 50 MM drivers

    Destroyed a driver in the DIY phase.  Is not a serious loss since I was trying to fix them, the left side completely was gone so I was thinking a recable would fix it.  In the process I destroyed the driver completely.   I am looking for replacement 50MM drivers.  No necessarily the exact...

    Gah! Need to buy closed headphones.

    So the heater and then the a/c is driving me crazy.  Of course not at the same time!   Most important feature is they must be comfortable.   I've used the Sony MDR-F1 as a reference to the most comfortable headphones ever.    I can't stand on ear headphones.  Too much clamping force and...

    USB versus optical

    I have a NuForce HDP connected via USB and it drops connection with my pc.   I have to disconnect the cable and reconnect it for it to reestablish connectivity.     This only happens when I am switching rapidly or playing certain games.  Never with musi players.     I did some research...

    Looking for some closed headphones

    I understand there are a so many threads on people looking for closed headphones.  I did read many but I do have a specific question that hopefully someone can answer.   I totally love the Sony sound and comfort.  I generally game with the MDR-F1, listen to music with the MDR-SA5000, and...

    Reverse polarity in IEMs

    I replaced the cable on my UE Triple.Fi 10's with a Westone cable.  A dramatic improvement in comfort, but also more expensive.   Now, the Westone cables are not labeled as the UE cables (nor do I have experience with the Westone cables).  How can I conclusively tell if I got the polarity...

    Looking for a speaker dock system

    Well my Griffin Amplifi died. Owned it for several years. It was perfect to play while cooking and when eating outside. What I liked about it was it was all inclusive. Just needed to take the box and speakers were included. Sound was good to decent for what it was. Wife could...
