Nothing insane at all, about having a backup of the best flagship of all time from the big 3. It’s as good and in some ways better than many headphones at over twice its retail price.

Same as both of you with my beloved K812, only two in-strokes in its 3-pin LEMO connector history lol. I have taken great care of it like a newborn, and have zero problems of any kind with it. Hoping for decades more use from it.

D8000 Pro is really the best reference Planar IMHO, with *almost* as much frequency-response-neutrality in the most important areas as the AUDEZE SINE, but quite obviously worlds better in all other regards. And the area where the frequency response isn’t “engineer neutral”, but makes things...

Crickets from Andreas Rapp lol

I own & love both the T90 Jubilee 90th Anniversary Chrome edition, as well as the 600ohm version of the DT990, limited chrome edition. Sincerely hoping they wow us all this next year, with some truly gorgeous LE’s Hopefully in bright white, bright platinum/silver, with plenty of chrome or...

AKG K7 & K8 series are still some of the most underrated open back gems in 2023. Customization looks like a luxury euro whip ! 😎

Ohhhh, and THIS AF. For any hobbyist aiming to use these at home in a shared area. People two rooms over will hear what you’re listening to, quite clearly lol… even at a relatively sensible volume. That’s part of the trade off for having such a massive soundstage, that can only be bested...

Pros: - Frequency response from 10hz - 1khz is the absolute best from all the open back, wide/deep soundstage flagships. Some other open backs come very close, but none of the super huge soundstage competitors come close to extension this far and flat, and thru the most important frequency...

To celebrate 100years in business in 2024, I expect BeyerDynamic to release some special edition models of their most iconic headphones. What will they look like ? Perhaps a diamond white ? A cool silvery platinum ? Polished or matte ? Remains to be seen! I, for one, strongly encourage...

Really interesting and simple mod. Props. Since my balanced have sat completely unused in the box since the day I got my 1990’s, this gives me good reason to pull em out and do this and A&B them to the analytical pads (which I think give a really great FR). I tend to like bright, very...

I feel like 3d polygon games like Red Dead & Ghost of Tsushima, Breath of the Wild etc are FINALLY truly showing that the “realistic/semi-realistic 3d games can be truly beautiful. Before the last several years, I felt like the only 3d games which looked truly excellent were Cel-shaded 6th &...

Did you ever pull the cups far apart to adjust them/break them in ? I was always very gentle with mine and kept them on the stand for years. I never once let the thin ribbon cables in the cup mount / gimbal get smashed or pinched when putting them on or off. After 8 years even the cups still...
