Included:

- Headphones, pouch, 2.4mm stock cable and 6.3mm adapter.

Issues:

- Some paint chips as is usual with these

- Strap might be bit loose. Maybe. For me it's perfect.

- Adjusting mechanism is quite loose. I've used a piece of paper between the frames to add friction. Works perfect. Don't know screw could be tightened somehow.

- Gray mark on one of the pads. Propably just something natural with leather. I can't imagine how it could be a wear mark on the side because top parts are perfect. See pictures.


- most unfortunate problem is bass distortion. I think headphones distort more than they should. It's not a issue with low/average listening volume or non-bass heavy music. Couple of people have tried this unit. One heard nothing odd and another person heard it only on occasion in very specific conditions. I bought the headphones from a reputable head-fier and he had not heard anything weird because I think it would have been mentioned on the listing. So distortion might or might not be an issue depending how and what you listen. Loud listener of EDM/rap/ bass heavy pop? You will likely have problems. Rock/metal on average volume? Should be ok. Classical? Should be perfect on any volume.

Bass problem does not affect frequency response or bass quality. Best bass I've heard.

See here for measurements of this unit: https://kuulokenurkka.squig.link/?share=Harman_2018_Target,AB-1266_Phi_(Air_Gap)

Real kicker is this: Abyss can fix these headphones with TC drivers for $500. I have confirmed this with abyss.

So this is a change to get TC like sound with much less than normal used TC would cost. Abyss also has warranty for repairs.

Trade offers are welcome but money is preferred. Trafomatic Head 2(preferably not Black) and Final D8000(Pro) are on my to try list.

I can ship anywhere but EU takes priority. Shipping fees vary depending on location.

New Head-Fier
Hi,
I’m Huang from Taiwan. May I humbly ask if it’s possible for you to sell at the price of €1450(including shipping)? I know I am asking a little too much but that’s the best I can offer.

Best regards
