    HiFiMan Susvara

    Hifiman did no justice to their setups at RMAF, they sounded like rubbish running low quality files off those portable players

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

      I actually liked the Ether C more than the open back Ether.   Both were phenomenal, it was just a little different presentation.  The vocals were a bit more forward on the open backs, while the bass was a little fuller on the C's.

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    The Ether C was one of my favorite cans of the show, I love everything Dan has done with this one. I cannot believe how well it isolates and the comfort is exceptional, this one is definitely on my short list of new cans to get.

    Audeze LCD-4

    I'd probably still own a set of audeze's if I had known about this headband retrofit!  I've bought and sold about 3 pairs thinking I could just deal with it.

    Audeze LCD-4

    The guy in the labcoat told me they would be offering the carbon headbands as a retrofit to any of the existing LCD series, somewhere in the $150 range in the next month.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    A Valhalla 2 would be a good option for a factory built OTL amp.  It's in the $350 range and perhaps cheaper if you can find a used one.

    Ultrasone New performance Series: 840, 860 & 880 (First post last update : 2014/12/07)

    I bought a pair of the 840s to be a portable, closed solution and they fit the bill.  My only complaint is my ears actually touch inner baffle and I don't have large or protruding ears, it may bother some but I don't really notice it.  I find the 840s to be bass-heavy but that's perfectly fine...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Loud and sounding correct under tight control are not the same thing.  A 300 ohm headphone needs to have ultra high sensitivity, this is similar to a 92db headphone at 50 ohms.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Re-joined the HD650 club, too hard to pass up at $313!  Can't wait to hear them on much better equipment this time.

    Ultrasone New performance Series: 840, 860 & 880 (First post last update : 2014/12/07)

    Has anyone with the 880 tried the velour pads vs the stock pleather and it's sonic differences?

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

      They were $2k when they first came out, retail is now $1500 but you can get them for a bit less than that.

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

      TH900s are my closed bass cans, very happy with them!  Super comfortable and easy to drive.
