I think a very small amount of most any light lube that would not attack the plastic would be OK.A dielectric grease would not affect the connection.   I had mine a week and am very impressed. Against my Q701s that cost me about 5X the price, there is little competition. But just looking at...

Interesting. You certainly seem to know more about the ad than what PhatB posted. Did the ad have a return policy? None of that has anything to do with it being legitimate or grey market. But everything to do whether he has any action through Ebay or not.   It appear we have our answer now in...

Not a good sign. Is there anything on the ad that says you can not return it? If not, ebay will support a claim against the seller if the product was misrepresented in the ad and would not honor a return request. They can't do anything about the serial number. It should have been on the box as...

I've always found the sound of the SE215 very easy to get used to. Very easy to forget the phones and just hear the music. A relative recently gave my wife some Shures buds in the little round case he had laying around for a coupe of years. Turns out they are E2s. So of course I had to listen to...

Interesting... well, not sure what is going on there. You could stretch them by putting them over a box, etc. overnight. It does feel like there could have been just a little more clamping at the bottom of the earcups so they fit more flush against my head. But with the pads there seems to be...

I just received a used pair from a reputable merchant. I am very pleased overall. I previously had a pair of ATH-AD700 which have been highly regarded. I have to say the 990s out do them on clarity (not by a huge margin) and depth. Soundstage is incredible! Like limitless. So far I have not...

I can see by the photos, not a whole lot of room in there. Just seemed curious that no one (that I know of) has tried it.

I take it by all this discussion there is no way to install a connector in the housing for the single entry cable?

Am I to assume it is not possible to install a connector at the cable entry point, and not have to deal with rewiring the drivers? Naive question, but still waiting for my recent DT990 purchase (in the mail) and wanted a plan for the future.

Do you have the link for those?  I don't know why I have so much trouble navigating the Fiio website. Thanks for the info!!!

I am talking about what they publish to users. I don't find that anywhere on the website, maybe I missed it.

Unfortunately, you can't really tell what changes they make from time to time, if they don't document it. This is not unusual among many mfrs. Unless there is a change that you think will really be a benefit, maybe it's best to always be one rev behind until they stop making changes.

And that's probably a good thing! I was checking this one out:     http://headwize.com/?page_id=699     I would not try to incorporate it into the headphones but use it as an inline mod using a small box with 3.5mm jacks. Maybe even add a bypass switch for comparison. It would only be a...

Why release firmware that is not stable? Must have some improvements. They should call it 'beta' like Oppo does, until they have a stable change, with a note of caution.
