If it has a unibody headband, and it does, it really should have a degree of freedom for adjusting to the sides of your head if you want it to be comfortable.
-
I keep my hair short, though there is usually a big depression in the center of my hair where the headband usually sits. I've noticed a lot of DJs wear ball caps under their headphones and I'm guessing that's to keep their hair from looking weird like mine.

Well, I got it to work without rooting it. As luck would have it, my stock firmware already supports usb audio, but neither audio player I was using supported usb playback, which is the other missing link besides an OTG cable. The other major issue is POWER which my phone obviously doesn't have enough. So you need a powered usb hub as well, which makes using it with my phone infeasible. Now a Note 3 on the other hand...

I like music too. Let's be friends!

I believe you can use any usb class 1 device, like an ODAC with the usb on-the-go "otg" protocol, but you usually have to root your phone to enable it. I think my galaxy nexus is old enough I can try rooting it now. I'll give it a whirl this weekend and see what happens.

Contact your country's customs and see if they have it. USPS just puts it on the plane.

The AKG k240 or 242 would be my pick.
-
If you're asking, then you are probably fine with your onboard.
-
Are you saying your DAC is non-linear? Can you obviously tell vs say an iPod or some other sort of DAC? I've never been able to tell two DACs apart since the old iPod gen5, and that was still pretty hard to do. Or is it the amplifier that sounds different?
-
Use the line out on the onboard audio not the front/headphone outputs. Set the windows volume to 100%. That'll "skip" the amplifier.
-
well, in the HD650's case, with that 300 Ohm impedance you can plug it into just about any soundcard or external AMP/DAC you'd like with a decent headphone amp and get them pretty loud. A Xonar DG or a FiiO E10 is fine, but something a bit beefier like an O2 is probably better considering how much juice they need. yeah, this.
-
oh yeah. you and the rest of /a/'s figure threads are a singular horror story on the entirety of international shipping. Most of the time, sellers just put a disclaimer that they're not liable for lost international packages. My best advice is if it's something you don't want to lose, get insurance. And, yes, it can take up to 3 months. I've even seen issues where packages got mistakenly routed on shipping containers and took up to 6 months to get there. Not kidding.

HELP! Not just anybody It's a cable. As long as the connections are good, it will have no effect until it becomes VERY long.
-
http://www.headnhifi.com/02-front-panel You can just buy one and stick it on a stock O2 I would imagine
-
>Monster I'll buy their crazy marketing and idiotic designs arguments, but comparing them to MONSTER is a bit much don't you think? It's not a gee whiz HDMI cable for crying out loud.
-
It doesn't have a gain switch and doesn't come with any cables. It sounds about the same, no matter what head-fi says. It tends to be a bit much volume for some headphones. I think Jason posted in the subforum that the gain was 5x. W/e it is, it's still too much given the O2 is pushing a ton of volume at 2.5x.
-
It would need to be much longer than that.
-
It will not improve the sound. You can always turn up the volume for a "cleaner", "punchier", more "vibrant" sound.
-
The PRACTICAL REASON for not putting tubes on computer circuits is the fact we have silicon transistors now. Technology marches on. Audio, however, flies like moths to glowing tubes. Thus we Computer Scientists "debug"
-
About the same as your onboard or a decent portable music player. If you want an HE-400 I'd wait for the version with the new headband coming out soon though. The HE-400i or w/e.
-
1. It'll play music 2. Once again, they don't really CHANGE much about the signal, so there's not much to compare 3. O2+ODAC. That iFi thing is more desktop-sh, but a bit more I believe, and it's two units (the iCan and iDAC). Your onboard is really the best though since it's free with your motherboard. 4. There's no such thing as depth in music. Sound is one-dimensional and a discrete function of time. If you want more information, there are free MIT classes, blogs, and videos on youtube. There are some good links in the FAQ.

Headphones first. Then amplifiers. Then DACs.
-
Convince yourself you've done the foam mod and try them again. I bet they'll sound different to you.
-
I have no good reason. It's an entirely irrational hatred. They're just headphones.
-
Sana Clip on a pair of HE-500s, actually. It gets loud enough at about 99% of the clip's volume. Not ideal, but illustrative of the vast gap between actual volume and what the majority of accepted logic considers loud. Oh look, they fixed their damned headband. Bout time.
