I'm mainly looking for a Sony ZX300, but I might have an interest in a few others as well depending on the offer. Some wear on the casing is not a problem, but no dents/scratches/visible damage on the screen, please. The AK's would be secondary in favor of a ZX300 as I'd prefer something as...

Hi, is this still available?

Is this a one-time thing only ? That's really something really awesome for a manufacturer to do, I'm just wondering if maybe we'll ever get a chance to do this in the future (to possibly save up some cash until then). I think it would be something worth considering, since we already have Warren...

Wow, that is just a whole new level of customer satisfaction! Thank you for the clarification as well, I will definitely look up the website for contact details as soon as I gather the documents.   Edit: x Relic x, of course, this already is a privilege offered by the manufacturer !

Wait, I've also read the other thread, so the lifetime warranty only applies to original owners ? And if it's transfered, do you get only 1 year of warranty ? Sorry, I'm a bit confused :D

I'm not an expert in technicalities, but I can at least offer a lot of advice some others told me. I think if you're going with something like vali2 or a magni (I would say vali2 as a lot of people have said the K712s greatly benefit from the tube sound, magni makes things brighter, and these...

@Rico613 I bet they would ! I wish I knew how to recable anything though. Thanks a lot for the feedback !   @Wyversnake I think the Vali2 is a great value product, and also fit for K712s, a lot of people seem to be pleased with it, so I think you should definitely not exclude that off your...

This might have been asked before, but what is that second port on the side opposed to the one with the 3-pin xlr port ? Is it actually ready for a balanced cable ? Would really like to know! I've also been wondering, do you guys find the mids forward with these or are they more like the K701 ...

Yeah I've seen them, most of them have been only in U.S. I doubt anyone in EU would sell such a thing if they had it, but anyhow a lot of issues/slowdowns are prone to happen if one is buying overseas.

Yeah, the chances look pretty unfavorable now. So do they usually announce it exclusively on HF when they're planning another set ? 

Alright, thx for the info ! I hope there will be at least an official announcement soon, their website doesn't seem to hint anything.

Will there ever be any more of these ? Gonna have to excuse my lack of info, I don't really know how their business plan works. From what I've read about older models, it does seem like it might be discontinued.

Wah...that really sucks :(. Seems some things never change... and I personally think it's such a shame! Chose them for the outstanding build quality (at this point we're probably both thinking about the chassis and the driver coverage), comfort and pleasant sound even when underamped. Sadly the...

Hope you can keep us posted k4rstar, I was really hoping Philips would improve their customer service when I started with the X1s. I'd been really glad X2 improved a lot of aspects of the former, but hearing about these things is kinda disappointing... I remember having mailed them for...

Agreed, at that price it definitely was ! That looks pretty interesting, reminds me of the one from Bravo. So from what I can make of the picture, is it called Indeed ? I'm gonna look it up on ebay, though I'm afraid Paypal might just troll me again and cease any attempt of ordering it if it's...

Still doesn't seem to show the auction. I'm guessing it might just be something regional ? Or maybe if he set his auction only in U.S. it won't show me the listing since I'm in EU, otherwise I have no idea why I can't find it !

I wish there had been clarification from Philips...this makes the whole issue look as being handled quite unprofessional. 

I'd been quite reticent about the former T1s, although their price has gone down significantly from 1k, I've been afraid of what people claimed about excessive treble and V-shaped. That's how I stumbled upon some K712 reviews, it seemed like the controlled bass + good midrange reviews pointed...

I just can't understand how something like this can ever happen. They clearly knew the major downside of the X1s were the glued earpads (really stupid idea, idk how a big brand didn't consider this), yet this happens again. And I must say reading this a while back immediately tipped me off, I...

Welp, looks like I'm checking out some violectric threads next! Btw, the vali2 seems really nice, at least judging by their specs, looks like low impedance issues should be gone. Gonna try checking out some reviews, I've been interested in Bifrost mb vs Gungnir USB2. I guess I have to add V800...

Well first of all I should say it might have been a specific model which I've omitted mentioning (hpa-3u) and that was a 500 eur amp. Then again, I haven't tried out many of them, I just felt like that's pretty costly for what I've heard from them. Anyhow, I don't know what chip it is, and I...

@kid vic thank you very much for the detailed suggestion. I've actually attempted to order it like last week or so, but it seems PayPal won't accept payment from my homeland in US (Eastern EU), don't quite know what the deal was as their feedback was rather poor and superficial (and I mean...

Hello HF !   I've been pondering a lot and I think the AKGs are probably the direction I'm leaning towards. So anyway, I've gone through like 200 pages of the aforementioned product's thread and it seems that most of the discussions are just centered around the differences in the K7xx line, I...

Hi @Tyranids , seems like I'm in the same dilemma. From what I've found through reviews, I would suggest that you do take a look at the Project Sunrise III, Solstice or Ember thread, maybe it gives you an overview. I personally think it's really hard to find anything better than that in that...

First of all, thank you very much for the feedback, find it really useful !  The Bottlehead piece would indeed be a good acquisition, even if I add the import tax. However, I don't have any tools (maybe beside some screwdrivers) that would aid me in assembling it. Soldering tools have hefty...
