My K506 switches OFF when (some minutes) no signal comes from my PC sound card - but does not swichtes ON when the signal comes again!

Then I have to unplug the power supply each time - not nice !

Hi,

It is normal, that your headphones will switch off, when no signal appears for some minutes, but ist should switch on again, when the signal recovers.
Thus it seems to be very likely, that your headphones are defective and should be send in for repair.

Some weeks ago, there was a posting, saying that a a solution was found to prevent the headphones from shutting off by using a short signal generated by the PC avery minute or so.

I recently have bought a K 506 AFC, and I have been surprised to not find a way for regulating the signal level compressor built in in the headphone ( or in the transmitter, dont know ). In my opinion this limits very much the usage of such very nice headphone out of the simple "music listening", for which, however, can have some difficulties on songs with lot of signal peaks.
Does it exist a way for modifying ( manually ) the percentage of compression of the input signal ?
