The thing is, visually, there is nothing wrong with them. It's inside that they're broken. I take very good care of them.    I have a few $20 IEM's that I've used for many many years and treated like ****, and they're still going strong. 

**** this. I've had 4 pairs of these in 3 years because I love them and kept hoping the next ones wouldn't break. But they did.    I'll have to look elsewhere, I guess.

It has now been two weeks since I drunkenly but carefully took apart my Yamahas, cleaned them and got rid of all the wax that was stuck inside. The issue where one side goes quiet almost daily hasn't been an issue since then even though I've been on long train, bus and plane rides and have...

Glad to hear that I wasn't crazy and started imagining things. They do sound better. The problem hasn't come back yet. Good news but we'll have to wait and see.

Yea. There should also be a small piece of plastic poorly glued to the black screening.

Sorry, no before/after pictures.    I've had them in for a few hours now and still no problem. I'm hoping for this good run to continue. 

Not sure if this has been discussed a lot already but I've been experiencing the same problem as many others; one side going quieter. After leaving that one side out of my ear for 10-20 minutes, problem gone.    Yesterday I decided to dig inside and once the tips are off there some kind of...

  I enjoyed the Ed-8 while I owned it but, except for the obvious isolation situation, the HD800 is better in every way. They are barely comparable. 

  I've owned 4 pairs of EPH-100 and they've all broken down in one way or another even though I'm careful. I take more care of these than I did with my HD800s since they're a lot more delicate. 

Just experienced the problem with the volume on one side going down noticeably. It went away after 3 minutes though. This is the first time this had happened to me after about 2 years with EPH-100's.

The consensus seems to be: wait until there are headphones between the LCD-2 and HD-800 but aren't quite the LCD-3.    Maybe Audeze's next pair will be the ones we're all looking for.    EDIT: I haven't been on here for a while, I'll go read the thread about the LCD-X or whatever they are...

Long time no talk.    I finally got to listen to the Audeze LCD-2's and liked them very much. If only there was something perfectly in between the HD800's and LCD-2's. I enjoyed the lack of sibilance with the LCD-2's and enjoyed the bass a lot but the magical soundstage was missing.    I...

Everyone has different definitions in this hobby, but in my book, bright and warm are basically opposites.    What do you mean by warmer and brighter? Quote:

I must have listened to a defective pair then.   I went back and forth between these and my EPH-100, which are far from bass light, and the Pros were very clearly taking away from the mids in all the songs I tried. You are obviously right about not being too quick to judge and that's why...

If you could explain what you mean, that'd be great.  Quote:
