But my old sansa player doesn't support Bluetooth (also it's probably outdated) , and I don't want to run with a smartphone.(Mine is...- extrabigmehdi

Below 500$, upgrading the srh940 (closed headphoone)
hi, the headband of my srh940 has cracked, and I'm looking for something better in built quality , and that keeps some "aspect" of the srh940 sounds. What I really liked on the srh940, is a bit some "aggresivity" on the sound, which seems perfect for some fast-paced psytrance (or...- extrabigmehdi

How to “create” a crossfeed (the steps).
I didn’t like much the existing crossfeed solutions (software-based only). I found they damage transients and when I listen with my hd800 it becomes obvious. Curiously when I try to perform the crossfeed myself, using some high qual eq , the result is more convincing. I will explain here how...- extrabigmehdi

mx980, for the bed , worth it ? missing my k317.
hello, I'm really missing my akg k317 ear buds ( broken ) . I loved their treble, and wide soundstage. In the online store I plan to buy, I only found the k318, and that doesn't seem a good replacement : the k318 look thinner, so I guess the driver is smaller; also I don't want an apple...- extrabigmehdi

Improving srh940 experience with M7 reverb (and perhaps other headphones)
I'm using a reverb effect with my srh940, and I found it improves the experience in many areas (so much for a single dsp effect...). It's not that the srh940 are not enjoyable without the reverb, but I found the sound more neutral & relaxing & with increased soundstage. Every time I tried to...- extrabigmehdi
