It seems like almost everywhere I turn to, the results are different. But usually, Bose QuietComfort 2 and Airpods 2nd gen are the top two results. The third place is always fluctuating. I ended up ordering the JBL Live Pro 2 earbuds because of how close they were in ANC performance to the...

Wow, thank you for that quick and easy answer.

I don't have a budget and want to find an IEM that has the best ANC possible. Sound quality in terms of calls/music is not as important. I've checked the RTings website and saw that the Bose QuietComfort II earbuds are on the top of their list. But, is there anything better, maybe...

I want to plug my phone in (android, usb c) what would be the best way going about this ?

I'm interested in a pair of headphones for their noise cancelling ability, the Bose 700. Found a reseller on a local market place but the picture they posted seems a bit strange, as the labelling is different on some of the Bose 700 boxes. (Some labels cover the whole top and bottom of the box...

Hello, I'm looking for a soundbar that's cheap but good. My budget is within the $100-130 (CAD) range. Thank you!

I have a pair of Sony MDR-XD200 headphones: https://www.amazon.ca/Sony-MDRXD200-MDR-XD200-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B0007N55NW They feel cheap as hell and don't sound like anything spectacular. I was wondering if I could "mod" them someway/somehow... Does anyone have any ideas? (I don't really...

Thank you all for the replies. It appears that there are different methods of going about this. 1. I should keep the copper shielding (screen?) and solder it to the plug (along with the black and clear wires) 2. Only ground the shield at the source (I'm assuming this means keep the copper...

Hello, Is it necessary to keep the copper shielding as part of the ground connection to the stereo jack? Can't I just remove the copper shielding and keep the clear and black wires as the ground instead ? I have used this cable before for recabling and used the clear, black and copper...

So I posted a thread on re-cabling a headphone (I was ultimately successful) but I was left feeling like an amateur (which I totally am) after a post in that thread that as super technical and detailed. 1. What is 3 conductor/4 conductor cable ? How do I know when to use what? (Are there 1-2...

Ok, the issue has been resolved. It looked like it was a matter of solder points touching each other when I wrapped everything up. So I wrapped those points (wire connections) up with electrical tape and all is well now.

Wow, thank you for such a detailed reply but I did not understand any of it at all unfortunately. I replaced the cable but seem to be having some issues with the right channel... (no sound comes through unless you wiggle the 3.5 mm jack...) So I guess I have to open up that jack connection and...

Hello, I've decided to learn how to re-cable headphones and for fun I'm trying to re-cable an old pair of Sennheiser HD 449 headphones. I bought a new cable for them, a Mogami W2893 recommended via this guide I'm trying to follow...

Thank you for the hint. Is this technique something you've seen before in repairing small drivers like this? If so, I don't suppose you know of a guide/pictures I could reference.

Hello, How can I reattach the driver membrane back onto the frame (ring)? I accidently tore it off trying to fix the wires... Any tips ? Thank you

"Earphones (also called in-ear headphones or in-ears) are inserted into the ear canal. Earbuds rest outside the ear canal." I was wondering if such a product exists on the market today? From what I've seen, only earphones do. Why am I asking? It's because I would like to be aware of my...

Thank you for the replies. Would anyone know an approximate value (worth) on these if I were to sell them? I have no idea how to price them/whats appropriate.

Doing some spring cleaning and found these from looong ago. "psb SPEAKERS HW-1 (Architectural Flush-mount Loudspeaker)" I can't find anything regarding them, are they worth anything? Any good ? Should I sell ? Thank you

I use a Matrix M-Stage amp: https://www.headfonia.com/matrix-m-stage/

Hmmm..... The thing is, i do like the signature grado sound. (But i want it to be "better") So what am I trying to achieve here with an amp then? Why do I need one ? Sometimes I feel like the more I dig into this world of hifi, the more confusing it gets...
