    Hey out there. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a good long coiled headphone cable with a 2.5mm male and a 3.5mm male on either side. I'm having a hard time finding one online, maybe some of you have recommendations? Cheers.

    Sennheiser HD-558 at Best Buy

    In getting acquainted with headphones, I bought a set of AKG-K240 semi open headphones for not much. I really liked the sound and decided to try out some other open back headphones. All my research, for sound quality and price, led me to choose the Sennheiser HD-558s. The only place I found that...

    August EP650 Bluetooth headphones - a good bargain!

    What is going on in my head?

    Every time I slip on a pair of headphones I try to engage in a hallucination. My inner mind seeks rhythm, melodic lines, poetry, all delivered as if I were witnessing the creation of it all. . The fact is that I am eavesdropping on a moment from the past while trying to reproduce the illusion...

    Any Thoughts on Fixing These?

    I just got a set of Realistic Custom Pro headphones for free at an estate sale. They indicate they were made by Koss. They work if I hold the cord in a certain position. I assume this means there is a short. Are these worth fixing and how do I do it? Your expertise is welcome.

    Carver C-2 Headphone Output Reversed?

    I recently bought a Carver C-2 preamp on ebay, in slightly rough cosmetic shape but purportedly good working order. Having used it for a week or two now that seems to mostly be the case, but there's one really weird issue: the stereo on the headphone output is reversed. That is, the left...
