Oh dang, those look great

On ear would be ideal I think, I'd probably get a bit too warm if they were over ear. Ideally under $200 as I've already got some noise cancelling ones for travel

Just using my phone, pixel 7 and YouTube music. Slight blasphemy to say but I'm not majorly concerned with the quality for working out

Hey guys, does anyone have a recommendation for good on ear wireless headphones for the gym? I've been enjoying using my old koss porta pros since they don't make my ears sweaty, but the cable is becoming annoying. I do see they make a Bluetooth version now, but figured I'd check here first

might be able to swing a meet, hard to say at the moment.

any chance someone has a tube amp kicking around still? would love to try the sextetts with tubes at the next meet if possible

Now that'd be something. A dude did something similar a whole ago and apparently it sounded incredible

@Armaegis do you remember what amp you used to drive the sextetts back when you had them? I'm reading that something like a vintage receiver can drive them in a way modern amps don't, but of course my old technics is acting up so I can't verify lol. They do sound quite good already with the...

woah. those look rad. bit much on ebay though haha

Haha yep! Did some digging on all the various versions. The DF sounded really cool but maybe not the most enjoyable? Ep I think had too much bass and they toned it down from there, MP may be the sweet spot, lp the most bass light if I'm rembering correctly.

Sextett, haven't opened it to confirm but should be mid production

Well hello there

ahh, i think it was the helmet thing. although i do remember those electrets being super neat

speaking of old meets, did someone have an akg1000 at a meet like 8ish years ago, or did I imagine that?

Yup!

Don't forget this absolute unit

Ah ok

Any interest in selling that? Sextetts seem pretty interesting, was eyeing them as a potential replacement

Rifi is an absolute wizard, k702's are back in action! Thanks again dude

:beerchug: woot woot!

anyone tried the hifiman 400se? hifiman has b stocks on sale for $79 right now, which is a tempting backup in case my 702's are toast.

Might be, yeah. I'd prefer fully open but they sounded great today

sounds good. hope all goes well!

That'd be awesome, thanks!

Thanks again for hosting Nathan! Was great to get back into it and see some familiar faces. I did some more testing with my k702s when I got home and it doesn't seem to be a cable issue, but something with the connection point, or cable between the earcups. If I twist the left cup there's a...
