I took pictures of my Sennheiser HD 800s when I opened the box, so I can compare to other unboxing videos to see if they were authentic and new. I paid VERY close attention to my DT 1990s when I opened them, and the 2nd pair I got off Amazon was the exact same down to the color of the tape on...

I searched the web pretty heavily for a A/B comparison of the DT 1990 Pros and the HD 800s. They aren't in the same class ($500 vs $1700), which is why there probably aren't many comparisons. Background for what my use case is: I'm a gamer, and I work from home. I'm a partnered Streamer, and...

Follow up #3 for those interested: Got ahold of Beyerdynamic customer support on Wed (6 days (4 business) after the initial call). The same person (they called her receptionist on the voice prompt) answered the phone as the previous Friday. Politely I reminded her who I was, and of our...

A little update for anyone interested: After the phone call with the Beyer rep Friday, per her instructions, I submitted my return request (instantly). It's now Wed without any response from Beyer. I called around 4 pm Monday and left a message, I called around 2 pm on Tuesday and left...

I've been eyeballing Open Back headphones for a while. I purchased my JH Audio 16v2 IEMs 6 or 7 years ago, I love em, but now that I'm working from home I've been wanting a larger sound stage and higher resolution. I don't have to worry about audio bleeding out, or volume levels. I decided to...

Not sure how unique my situation is, but I prefer to do all my gaming on a computer monitor. I have a nice Crispy 4k LG monitor that I use for my PS4 Pro, and PC. I ran into an issue where I couldn't get my computer audio and PS4 audio to go through the same set of speakers. I needed a Mixer...

I've purchased 2 pair of the HM5 (By Brainwavz) both angled and non angled for my M50X, and Logitech G933. Fits well on both (surprisingly even on the G933). It's just not QUITE large enough for my big ol ears. They list the width at 50mm and height at 70mm (inner dimensions). measured with...

I have a set of M50x that I got around thanksgiving for a a steal (IMO).   I love them.  But the ear cups don't quite go over my ears.  I have a large head, and semi large ears.  If I could find a replacement pad that was slightly larger opening it would fit perfectly.  There is more room...

Enjoy my Book:   Recently I purchased a Null Audio Arete Series MKII Cable with Apple Mic from Null Audio.  I’ve had the cable about 3 weeks now, and finally took some time to make a write up for anyone who is considering purchasing an upgrade cable.   I consider myself a closet audiophile. ...

Anyone out there with a clear pair of JH16? Help me confirm?

  Thats the problem.  With normal speakers, i 100% agree... you can hear it out of phase instantly.  I could walk in a room and tell you that a speaker was out of phase... but with the iem's in your ear, isolated.. you can't tell that much difference.  I  A/B switching the right IEM's cable...

So, I bought my JH-16 back in October of '12, and the very first day I received them i replaced the cable with the cable from my TF10vi.  I have a few pictures of them with the original cable.  I'm pretty sure the cables had never been taken out in those pictures, and they show the dots facing...

Talking with my brother about how to test polarity of my JH cables, he gave me the idea to measure the resistance on the original cable, then I could match that up with my replacement cables... such a simple idea, yet I never thought about doing that.   I did have my cables out of phase.  ...

  I'm quite aware that it's the source's issue, not the IEM, it's just something to note, that with some laptops the do produce a hiss, or are sensitive to the hiss output from the laptop.  The Mac Book Pro is a very common (and expensive) laptop, I'm disappointed there... but at the laptop...

  I picked up a pair to TF10s for a gift to a family member for $150 about a year ago off Amazon.  If they are still around, they are probably dirt cheap.
