I never noticed changes in SZ1K or 2K after burn in. They still sounded bad without EQ

The shipping date has been pushed back a few times because of problems with shipping parts they need from China and a few other reasons. At this point, their claimed date means nothing unless they have products already made and packaged IMO

A lot of people saying something needs to be added to the list without doing a paper shake video... at least read the whole first post before you start recommending things be added to the top 10

The tactic driver is controlled by a volume knob type deal so I believe you control the volume and bass separately.

I have a modded TH900 coming my way soon. I have a feeling it is going to smash everything but the SZ2000 in terms of impact, and especially overall fidelity. If I end up not selling my SZ2000 (only $150!! buy now!!!!!), I will do a paper shake video comparison.

They play sub 20hz sounds louder than any other headphone I've heard (with EQ and an amp).

You can use them on the bus. They are big but wearable. Cable is pretty short so you shouldnt need to mess with it, but if you do just don't tighten it too much.   SZ1000/2000 absolutely require an amp and EQ. If you can't do both of those, just don't buy them. Without amp and EQ they are very...

I agree with Sham, the sz series can be used with other genres, but obviously they aren't the best for that. Sham - sz2k hits even harder :)

Imagine an HD800 with a Taction driver.... wew boiiii

Trying to sell my sz2000 because I don't have the juice for them anymore. Wanna give someone here who hasn't tried them a good deal, PM me if interested. No liars please! Only sz2k virgins

ZMF JOE   my name is joe and im a good guy, really having a good time, just likke ur headphones

1) 187,521 2) 148,839 3) 114,957

So I got a brand new SZ2000 from amazon yesterday, and i applied this EQ to them using the Magni 1 straight into MB:       and they are distorting. did i get a lemon? i thought these had  a much higher tolerance? using hm5 pads

Problem with bluetooth is the technology legitimately isn't there yet. It generally causes the bass to roll off and the highs to get all jumbled.

Oh man that sounds nice. One of the big problems I had with the SZ1000 is I could get it to distort before I was sick with bass. And since then I think I've gotten a bit better at pinpoint EQ so I'm quite excited.   Time to scour the classifieds...

Gotta say, after selling my SZ1000 to Vap I've been using the XB500 and they aren't even close to SZ1000 in impact...   Might have to pick myself up a pair of SZ2000 to see if they are even better. 

I used the cayin c5 bass boost with 20dB EQ on everything below 80hz and they didn't distort unless I turned them up all the way on high gain

This is just false. As you can see the TH900 are #2 on the impact list - they do shake your ears with the right amp and EQ.     To be honest the SZ1000 certainly can move air like non other, but the rest of the frequency range sounded worse than a PortaPro.. I'm looking to buy a th900 soon so...

Looks great

anyone interested in a JVC SZ1000 with HM5 pleather pads? they're a couple months old but in perfect condition.   i love them and am not really sure i want to sell them, but if someone here really wants them i will let em go. wont post on the classifieds because i'd rather have someone who is...

Don't worry, the 7550s are going into good hands - mine :)

Why is this a thread?

Alright, so about a week ago I came to yall and asked if I should get the Pioneer CX8 or XB90EX. Everyone said XB90 but I went with the CX8 instead and it turned out to be a mistake. The vibration is fun, but at high volumes it rattles against something which makes an annoying noise and the...

Sorry, I meant the vibrating on the table is the IEM equivalent of the headphone paper test.
