I think it is physically impossibility for the diaphram *not* to vibrate a lot when playing bass heavy music loudly...

 

[montanari]

Yes but try to take the headphone off from your head meanwhile the music is playing
It is vibrating much more then when you have in the head

How do you know? How do you see it on your head?!

Note also it will vibrate more off your head due to the lack of damping.

2 easy fixes either way. 1) don't play the music so loud and 2) don't take them off your head when the music is playing-I mean why would you anyway?

To go to the bathroom
I don't see but I hear the vibration
Oh
My
God

If you don't know what to answer please don't answer

But he did answer it, very well.

it is normal, when the cans are on your head the driver is "loaded" on the ear side (i.e. the acoustic resistance is higher), while if you take them off the driver is in free air and so it will move much more. and yes, potentially could be dangerous if the level is very high. suggestion: when you go to bath switch off the music 

PS it happens on every open cans, maybe with HEK is more evident given the very large membrane

 

[montanari]

ok thank you Phaeton !
 
with jazz no problem

Before i jump on an ALO continental v5, what are other good amps for the 1000 that are less than 1k?

 

[dannybgoode]

Said it before - Trilogy 931. Speak to High end Headphones here in the UK about shipping you a 120v version.

I have it and its utterly brilliant with the HEK.

How did the MDR-Z1R Compare to the HEK V2 and Utopia at recent Canjams???

 

[tunes]

Trilogy 931 versus Jot Headphone amp comparison with HEK V2? Wonder if any amp will be needed when pairing Hugo 2 with HEK V2??? Real question is whether the Hugo 2 will have enough to fully power the HEK?

 

[dannybgoode]

I've demo'd this trio extensively at home.  The Z1R for me isn't in the same ballpark so it comes down the Utopia v HEK v2.  That is purely a matter of personal preference...

Oh for sure. It's a lovely, lovely amp. It's my next upgrade.
