    Didn't think I'd ever sell these, but I think we've all said that about a headphone or two in our arsenals. This being my second time owning Atrium Open, I definitely thought it would be a permanent entry in the stable this time, but here we are with me gradually downsizing my collection in...

    ...route (vs DCA's path towards neutral); how's the impact, texture, and clarity of that bass, especially in comparison with the notorious sub-bass thump of AC? (I ask about AC only as a frame of reference, I'm explicitly *not* asking "hey would you expect a T50rp mod to replace AC in a...

    New Beyerdynamic Pro X line: DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X

    ...Tuning reminded me of... some fusion of Caldera and Verite, honestly. Deftone's White Pony sounds great, though the hi-hats in Digital Bath are *right* on the edge of piercing. Could probably EQ that range down if I cared. Now on to Foo Fighter's The Colour and The Shape, which needs a +5dB...

    Audeze MM-100

    Anyone know of an ADI-2 friendly EQ profile for these? (namely, 5-band PEQ plus bass and treble shelves). Most of Oratory's lineup expect EQ to be done computer-side with semi-infinite bands.

    Avantone : Pro Planar

    I agree. My old set (which formerly belonged to plmon, and in turn I sent along to rudbeard, both of whom had great praises for this can upthread) was generally excellent - one can agree to disagree on whether the sound stage being about 2 inches wide is a problem, or whether a studio tuning is...

    Has Anyone Else Gone Up Then Back Down the Audio Gear Ladder?

    I've been all up and down the mountain over the past couple of years. DACs and amps: I mean, look at my signature. I've had ten-tube beasts on my desk, and yet my happy place ended up being a (used-market prices especially) reasonable piece of pro-audio workhorse gear. I can't tell much...

    Introducing HIFIMAN Susvara Unveiled: Elevating Audio Excellence!

    Yeeeee hawwwww. I sometimes ponder whether I *really* need $8-10k in headphones *total*, across the several that I own. HFM asking $8k for a single set of cans, during a huge economic downturn that is impacting everyone from the burger flippers to the director and VP levels, is - dare I use the...

    I hadn't even noticed that was there, neat find. Anyway, it appears to be smudges from some light patinaing of the brass (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patina) - the camera picks it up far more than my eyes in person do, and it's a bit of a blueish green. The greenish coloring in the top right...

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    I didn't realize (1) this product existed, or (2) that it was vaguely within the realm of affordable (it's currently $300 US it appears, but compared to the cans discussed in this thread...). Thanks for sharing - I might look into this depending on ability to use it with a Linux machine.

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    ...With a very imperfect measurement from a phone SPL meter, I tend to listen somewhere in the low-mid 70s. Maybe towards the mid-upper 70s if I'm *really* jamming, but I can only do that for so long, and only with open backs (my Atrium Closed would probably put my ears out too far over 80dB)...

    So **you're** the one who snagged these out from under me last winter when I was eyeing them and woke up the next day to see them gone :P GLWS. AC is awesome - I ended up with Purple Burst Shou Sugi Ban. Love these cans, whoever snags these is in for a treat.

    You might be within return policy timeframe still, it's potentially worth a look if you "just received" these! https://headphones.com/policies/refund-policy Either way, good luck with return or sale!

    ZMF November // 2023 // MEGATHREAD!

    Now that all three of my ZMF November selections have arrived, what's planned of my over-ear collection is complete. I'd spent much of the past year trying all sorts of gear at all sorts of pricepoints and from all sorts of manufacturers, and yet I ended up right back where I started my "nice...

    Comment by 'klardotsh' on listing '(Price Drop!) ZMF Eikon (Padauk). Offers welcome!'

    My ACs don't seem to have much in the way of leakage at all. I can't hear the space heater in the background when wearing them. I haven't had anyone around in my time owning them so far (couple weeks) to let me know if they bleed to the environment while I'm wearing them. And they'll rattle your...

    These amounted to a catch-and-release for me. I got them in a combo deal over the winter with my Verites, enjoyed them, but not enough to keep, and so it's time for them to find a new home. - They weigh in at about 525g according to my janky kitchen scale. - Pads are fresh ZMF November B-stock...

    Sorry for the necro-reply but I don't think I see anywhere in thread: what are those stands?! I'm sure I'll go slightly distant-stare if I see the price on them, but wow those are stunning.

    Hearing imbalances that change through a listening session?

    Last December (not long after this saga originally started) I went and had them looked at by an ear cleaning specialist up in Bellingham, she ironically said the right side (good sound quality) was worse for wax than the left (dim sound quality) at the time, but that neither side was...

    Hearing imbalances that change through a listening session?

    You're onto something here. I've spent the past few days treating myself as a medical testbed of DIY sorts and trying all sorts of stretches, pressure normalization (something I already have to do all day every day because the pressure in my ears never feels right; maybe this should have been my...

    Title basically says it all, yeah? Price isn't completely fixed, but is a general ballpark. As with my i4 WTB posting, I'm not really in a rush, and may allow a week or two for offers to come in / see what's available, etc. I am especially interested in aluminum frames - I didn't have the best...

Heck, I don't care if it comes with *any* cables at all, as long as the drivers and housings are in good working condition. Send me your offers. Anything you see up for sale/trade...
