This is some nightmare scenario for any head-fi'er :astonished: Sorry to hear that. Hope they at least replace the A90.

I miss Tyll, he was the only reviewer I really trusted. There are too many sponsored reviewers now, and albeit much better production value but little to no substantive / credible info. Everybody uses graphs now with the typical audiophile jargons but it's amazing how it still leaves me so...

Cheers mate :)

Someone in this thread found a headband cover designed for the M50 on amazon. It was relatively cheap. Looks like this:

I haven't heard the 789 so take this for what it's worth but the general consensus seems to be that the difference is not significant enough to warrant an upgrade.

Thanks! That blurry picture is my original Lyr, with adapters and TS 2C51's. I get no hums for any of the headphones including the Clears, but it depends on the tubes. I do get slight humming on another orange globes I own, but had pretty good luck as long as I get matched pairs. Even without...

I had mine custom made by customcans.co.uk They use paracords so it's very light, flexible and coils easily when you put them away. You can choose the connector types and the color of the cables.

Yeah the Clears are efficient headphones and sound good out of most gear (I don't care what everybody else says). My regular Dragonfly's drive them just fine and they still sound superb. My D90/A90 stack sounds better but was it worth the cost? Nope, but then again this hobby is a rabbit hole

Welcome to the club! I'm sure you'll enjoy them, they're true gems that has stood the test of time.

This was a $10 mod and it works really well - It's a headband cushion replacement for HD650/HD600 from amazon (non-oem). I just use a strong 3M double sided tape, and it's stayed in place without a problem. IMO it looks a lot better than the dakoni nugget pads, and it's very comfortable. I can...
