I have been reading head-fi reviews and forums for quite some time now. I am planning on buying full sized headphone around the $100-150 mark.   Here's what I mostly listen to - www.last.fm/user/adityashevade Apart from what is there - I also listen to classical (both western and Indian) a...

Hi guys, I received my DT880 this weekend, and I discovered a problem in the connection between cable, and headphone:     When I touch the cable the right speaker get muted, and if I put it in a certain position, both speakers works, but its so boring keep holding the cable...   Any...

I just read this on Stefan AudioArt's site    Quote: http://stefanaudioart.com/Equinox%20HEADPHONE%20Cable%20Tips%20.html     This is very interesting since everywhere I looked, people said the HD 650 cable is better. I just received my HD 650 cable today (I've been using a HD...

Tonight I conceded to the fact that I wasn't going to get the amount of money I really wanted for my RS2i's in the FS forums... so I took them back out of their box, pulled the bowls off them and was considering a re-cabe and refinish project on them. (the poor finish really drives me nuts). I...

At first, I didn't like them, but after some testing I've found what these are capable of!   First of all, I started out by testing them out with a very wide range of music. I tested them with everything from Pop to Classical. They had an overall lack of bass and didn't give me much of a...

Hi everyone,   Been around here for a few days doing some research on my next pair of headphones for use when I'm in airports/airplanes. I've decided on the Sennheiser HD 25's. I have now gotten this question in my head about how I could include an iPhone microphone and button, or even...

How much improvement are you getting when going with say a Cardas cable over a stock cable?  I'm looking to pick up a pair of these cans as my second pair for classical music and vocals.  I'm just not certain which one to look for.  What's the going price that's acceptable for these cans these...

Hey what's up guys,   Not a frequent poster here but i'd like to share my recabling experience with you guys.   First and foremost i must say that i was quite a bit skeptical about the said benefits about using higher quality cables. I figured as long as the thing carries the electrons...

Hi, I recently purchased a set of HD25-1 II's and I want to know what method would be best for changing the cable colour. I don't really want to recable, I only want to change the colour (at this stage anyway). I want to redden the portion shown below. Do I just need cable sleeving? Or do I...

I am a relatively new customer at Meelectronics and have purchased several types of in ear headphones from them.  My latest purchase from them has been a big disappointment.  I purchased a pair of "wooden" head phones with a cord/cable that produces so much cable noise the product is unusable...

I've read on here several times that the AD-700s have replaceable cables. I'd really like to shorten up the cable on my paid without having to cut and rebind the cable. So where do I get a replacement cable, and how do I go about installing it? 

Hello, I've owned SR 225 for a few years now. I am not sure why, but there is like a static sound when I listen to anything. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I have seen these for like 450 AUD, but the price now has jumped to like 600 dollars. Are those jump purely due to the Aussie dollar or have the MSRP (400 USD) of these in the states have jumped recently? Do they have any known problems?

I would be interested if someone knows if this has/can be done and where?

Hi, I am making my first high-end IEM purchase, and I am stuck in a dilemma right here: Shure SE535 vs. Sennheiser IE8   My main concerns are (arranged by priority): 1. Durability 2. Sound Quality (I prefer a more natural sound) 3. Comfort / Fit 4. Compatibility with a 32 Ohm...

Hey guys, I was surfing around and found these Sennheiser IE8s for $200 refurbished, does that seem about right? http://www.buy.com/prod/sennheiser-ie-8-stereo-earphone-connectivity-wired-stereo-over-the-ear/q/sellerid/23907370/loc/111/210402632.html   I checked out Sennheiser's site and...

Nearly every audio or home theater enthusiast knows about MonoPrice.  They're the go-to source on the Internet for A/V cables at rock-bottom prices.  And most people who subscribes to the "cables don't matter" school of thought have probably bought cables from them at one point or another...

i just got the m50's, the coiled cable version is $40 more where i live so i just got the straight cable since i plan on only using them at  home. any tips on how to tie, shorten and generally just deal with the cable? 

thanks :)

I just received my replacements for my E500 since the cable was shot on it.  I was a little bummed to see that the cable is now just a single piece and very long.  I really liked how the E500 had a cable that you could hang a shuffle or nano right around your neck like a necklace and didn't have...

I am trying to set up a new audio system for myself. I'm planning to purchase an Oynx Reciever and a Sennheiser HD598. I want to listen to music through my computer and ipod. Does it matter than my computer has stock soundcard? Also, do i need anything to connect my ipod to the reciever? Thanks...

So I have a pair of MTPG and the left earpiece stopped functioning. I remember reading somewhere in the head-fi forums that there's a Monster Cable UK rep around here. Or was I hallucinating...? I tried to do a search but there's too many irrelevant threads for me to trawl through. May someone...

I recently got the ALO RX MKII (just paid, waiting restlessly), and am thinking of having a nice full-size pair of cans for them.   I am looking primarily to have this for home use (getting a portable amp so that I can roam from room to room), so size of the headphone is not a huge concern...

I'm looking to get more (upgraditis) from my Grados, was looking at the apuresound v3 cable or just selling the RS2 (currently already for sale in FS forum) and picking up a new RS1. OR recabling them... Opinions??? Edit: looking for more clarity, better bass, less twisted cable would be nice.
