I just updated my galaxy nexus to 4.1 but I have no USB-Cable to try. I'll see if I can get my hands on one and update accordingly.

Looks like golden times for audiophiles: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html   USB Audio USB audio output support allows hardware vendors to build hardware such as audio docks that interface with Android devices. This functionality is also exposed with the...

Hi Raleigh, in the end I bought the AD2000 and I couldn't be happier. Especially when reading the gripes some people had with the HE-400. After using the AD2000 for half a year I can say that I think it's built like a tank. I would have no problem throwing it in a backpack to carry around all...

Has anyone seen this: http://www.raspberrypi.org   Basically its a fanless, creditcard-sized linux PC that is powered via usb only. It has a network plug and a usb 2.0 plug. The OS goes on a SD-Card. It also supports Video playback up to 1080p. Now the best part: its 25$. I believe there...

People who like the "music" of Hans Zimmer have no clue about classical music whatsoever.   I met this guy and I know how he "composes" his "music". He will be "working" on about 10 movie soundtracks (on his synth rig) at a time and piecing together bits and fragments of kitchy 19th century...

FYI Here is the answer from nuforce. This was the last time I bought anything from them:   We cannot replace the item because you purchased it used on E-bay and the warranty is not transferable to any third party.  If you require further evidence of this fact we would refer you to the...

This was not just static buildup. After I was zapped it smelled like someone was smoking outside the window before I realized that the uDAC 2 was emitting the smell. So much for build quality on nuforce products. I just hope they replace it as soon as possible so I can sell this piece of crap.

Hi, I just literally got shocked my the right driver of my Audio Technica ATH-AD2000 cans that I just bought a month ago. I was listening to Music via a Nufore uDAC 2 when I felt my right ear recieving an electric shock after which the right driver stopped working altogether. Now I really...

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Since I'm living in Osaka I bought them from here: http://goo.gl/CwEMr   The product code seems to be HP-L3000. They go for 5000 yen at the moment.    They also have the W5000 pads here: http://goo.gl/SnLm1   They are just a tad cheaper and I was...

BA stands for balanced armature. Basically the technology that in-ear monitors employ.    Regarding burn-in. I know it might just be the different signatures, but I recently bought an ATH-AD2000 (mostly unused?), a W1000X (definetly unused), and a pretty used ATH-AD900. The used AD900 did...

This was easier than I expected. Since being at work I didn't even use my higher-end setup, just the ATH-AD900 and the crappy headphone jack from my Thinkpad X220. Even then it's not that difficult to tell. It was becoming pretty obvious in the lower frequencies I think. 128k mp3 tends to sound...

For those of you looking to exchange the pads: I actually replaced the pleather pads with the L3000 lamp leather pads without a problem. They are a pricey upgrade (60 dollars) but worth every penny as I can listen to the W1000X without problems for hours now. They comfort has definetly improved...

So I was just watching this old movie with Gene Hackman called "The conversation" and there is a surveillance guy in the first scene that uses quite a nice pair or on-ear cans that I haven't seen before. Can any of you retro-headphone specialists give me a clue on the model or at least the...

You could probably get away much cheaper with something like this http://www.amazon.com/Radians-Custom-Molded-Earplugs-Red/dp/B002XULPSQ   I recently bought some and they have quite good isolation while being perfectly comfortable. Just remember to knead them thoroughly and keep your mouth...

Update: I can confirm that the L3000 lambleather pads so in fact work with the W1000x. They are called Audio Technica HP-L3000 and I bought mine here: http://www.soundhouse.co.jp/shop/ProductDetail.asp?Item=158   Considering the steep price of 5000 yen (70 Dollar) I didn't find them to be...

Hi, I just got the W1000x quite cheap for 28.000 yen. Now I have read in earlier posts that it's possible to use the L3000 pads for a W1000X headphone. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any of those here in Japan.  I have however found this website: http://torapo.com/other/hp.htm#l3000...

By the way I have found a massive collection of retro japanese headphones for sale on Yahoo auctions. Interesting stuff although it's quite hard to get infos on many of them.   http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n102766312  ...
