    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.

    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...

    I need a mod for the AKG K371 terrible microphonics.

    I am experiencing terrible microphonics with the AKG K371. When I wear a shirt the cable rubs against the collar too much. I think I need something like a right angled mini XLR male to mini XLR female connector, some other jig which turns the cable slighlty forward away from my collars. I've...

    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...

    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.

    There is a fault with my BTR5 which causes it to disconnect too easily when touched in DAC mode. It makes adjusting the volume so frustrating. The problem was present when it was new but because I didn't use it in DAC mode at the start I thought it was just the Bluetooth being flakey. Now I'm...

    Looking for headphone with sound signature of Yamaha MT5 but with more detail and top end clarity.

    Hi guys, I' m looking for a closed-back headphone with sound signature of Yamaha MT5 but with more detail and top end clarity. I tried a few so-called closed-back studio headphones, eg Beyerdynamic DT-770, AKG K371, and they have a kind of "cupped" "boxy", "horny", "hollow" sound which seems...

    Any supplier of extra small foam eartips?

    The way ear tips suppliers layout their products on their website is so confusing. Even stating the exact measurements such as bore width, the length, and the widths of both ends seems beyond them. The bore is fine, it is the actual width I'm concerned with. It needs to be smaller than the...
