I'm having fit issues with the AirPod Pro2 where I can hear the sound of friction between the tips and my ears when I'm walking around using multiple types of tips. Sounds like a "swish" in my ears every time I take a step. So I am thinking of picking up the XM5, but I was wondering if anyone...

I'm having a weird issue with the fit of my APP2. There's no danger of the buds falling out, but I think I'm hearing some friction between the tips and my skin whenever I do any type of movement. It's hard to describe but it sounds like that "swish" or "woosh" noise when you rub fabrics...

Yes. I switch between headphones and speakers a lot and it's significantly more convenient to toggle a switch than remove&replace the headphone jack.

Already have something like that. The goal here is to reduce the number of boxes on my desk.

Can I please pay you guys to make a Magni Unity with an OUTPUT toggle switch on the front instead of an input toggle switch? My wallet is ready 💵💵

Would love it if the Midgard had a toggle switch for “headphones on, preamp off” and “headphones off, preamp on” as I often switch back and forth between headphones and speakers. With that being said, I’ll probably still convince myself to order one!:relieved:

Ordered a Piety thanks to some of the recent inventory availability. So far I am 1 hour into ownership and I'm very impressed so far using Arya SE. The other amp I have now is the THX AAA ONE and there is quite a difference in favor of the Piety with these headphones.

I guess I should reply since this thread got revived :wink: I actually did end up with the ZMF Atticus around early 2017 but kept the HD650 for the long haul. Then took a break from the hobby but now I've got the Arya SE on my head right now.

I am thinking about ordering a MM2 but have a question about the clicking with sampling rate changes. I use Amazon Music on Windows 11 and listen to a variety of playlists. How can I see what the sampling rate is from song to song? I’d like to gauge how much potential clicking I’d encounter as...

I wonder if there is a Jot 3 on the horizon, since it's been just over two years since the 2 released. It's a small thing but I really wish switching the Preamp on would cut off the HP output since I frequently switch back and forth to my desktop speakers. Wonder if that would ever get...

I'll be doing some experimentation with the fit and placement of the Arya on my small head today. Had a couple instances the last few days where my jaw / TMJ area on the right side was sore and felt a little like my jaw was not opening comfortably (felt like popping). Haven't had this sensation...

I'm currently using Amir's EQ with a few extra db on Band 1 Link

The Arya Stealths arrived today! Got a little worried at first when the outer shipping box said "Arya v2" on them but the actual product box has the Stealth sticker. Having plenty of fun tonight listening to a bunch of my favorite Steven Wilson / Porcupine Tree tracks.

After a lot of indecision, I finally placed an order yesterday evening for the Arya SE to ring in the New Year! Over the last two months, I purchased the Edition XS and LCD-X (2021, b-stock) but ended up returning both. I preferred the sound signature of the Edition XS but the headband was not...

Can someone confirm this for me: with the preamp switch on the front of Jot2, are the headphones on all the time? Or does the headphone output turn off when switching to Preamp?

Is anyone familiar if HifiMan offers Chinese New Year deals? I'm ready to order but could wait another month if deals are on the horizon.

See this post: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hifiman-edition-xs-mods.961413/#post-16749279 and this one: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hifiman-edition-xs-launched.960155/page-112#post-16958983

What contributes to the Arya being more comfortable than the Ananda? Is it the shape of the metal headband or something else?

Over the last couple of weeks, I've had the opportunity to try out the Edition XS and LCD-X (2021). I haven't had the LCD-X for very long but my early impressions are that I prefer the XS/HiFiMan sound. Unfortunately the XS headband created a hotspot on the top of my head within an hour even...

After being on the fence about purchasing these for months, I finally made the decision to order and they arrived today. I have small head so these have practically no clamp and all of the weight is focused right on the top of my head. Caused me enough discomfort after an hour that I needed a...

I am looking to add my first planar headphone to my collection, currently trying to decide between the LCD-X 2021 and Arya Stealth. My top 3 favorite bands are Porcupine Tree (or really anything from Steven Wilson), Opeth, and Dream Theater. I do listen to about 90% Metal/Rock and 10% Movie...

Does anyone know any audio shops in eastern Virginia USA (between Richmond and Virginia Beach) that has these available for demo? I’d really like to put these on my head before ordering. I know I could simply use Amazon but would like to see if there’s another alternative. Also willing to trade...

Hello all, I am considering picking up an Ananda while it is on sale but worry the cups might be too tall(long) for my small head. Can someone do a quick measurement of theirs? From the top-most part of the earpad to the lowest point where the jaw would be. Thanks in advance!

I am on the fence between the 3DT and Blessing 2 Dusk. Most of my music listening leans towards metal and hard rock, but I've been on a big bluesy kick recently and was recommended to try posting in this thread. Anyone with these out there willing to do a quick listen to this song as a point of...
