Hey dudes and dudettes, haven't been here in a minute. Was changing earpads and for some reason decided to yt how to vids. I see people using a full on hairdryer setup and what not. I've been using a technique for years and they go on in under 30 seconds flat like so:

Hey! This thread shall be used to share music that has unique or awesome effects, or sounds really cool. The song should make you go: "Oh cool!!!" when you listen. I'll start, but I really want to hear your "sounds cool" music! The bassline will test your sub bass, the vocals are so wide and...

Venturing out of the Science Forum for a bit here, to let you all see the latest article. Of course this article does not talk about the finer things like ergonomics, cup resonance or riging, but how important is stuff like that anyhow...

We all know how basically ANY new product here is hyped to the heavens, huge threads, three months later people are saying "meh, not that great." We have a spec war going on (kinda like in the late 70s and 80s), which leads respected, old manufactures to state crap like: 5Hz to 50KHz response -...

After 15 washings and around 4000 hours of use (3 years @ 4 hours per day average music and gaming) my earpads where toast. They smelled even after washing and had broken down to about half thickness. Soundstage had suffered and bass, as we all know the 770 to be, had increased even more. So at...

So as it happens, I'm pretty dumb. Washed my earpads. Taped away the crud from the driver covers. Thought it a grand idea to very carefully vacuum them off. Went around the sides on lowest setting. Was thinking: "Don't go over the middle where the driver is!" Went over the middle and heard a...

Hi, do you strive for a neutral reproduction or are you more of the "colored" sound type of guy? If you want to, state why. I am trying to reproduce a life performance or studio sound, so I prefer a neutral, flat type of sound. I want to hear everything balanced. Sometimes I'll bump the bass...

Am I late to the party or is this an original thread? http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57591530-47/abyss-ab-1266-headphones-run-$5495-but-theyre-worth-it/

Ye all shall post yes on this petition if you feel the recommendations thread should get stickied at the top of this subforum. Maybe the mods in charge would consider this petition. It will really clean up the first page and all threads asking for recommendations can instantly be greeted by the...

Inpired by the "Do Grados Look Ugly? Or Do They Look Cool?" thread:   Does the design of headphones influence your buying decisions?       I am affected by the design. If they look ugly to me I have a hard time liking them. I do appreciate the sound for itself, but most probably...

OT in another thread made me think about making a thread on this subject. Probably 99% of us know how drivers and amps work, but for those that are not clear on the subject I want to write a simple answer:     DC, modulated or not, will only move the cone into one direction. This doesn't...

I searched but failed. Can someone help me identify the headphones used in this clip?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5gBiTaYOZs       Thanks! If there isn't a thread like this already (which I highly doubt but I couldn't find one in 10 minutes of searching) maybe we could make a...

Well? A cable is basically a resistor, right? So I understand changing it alters, changes the sound sig of cans. So the shorter the cable, the purer the sound "should" be. Right?
