Painful. and they are incredible headphones.

Sold. Selling my awesome Hifiman HE1000V2's. Completely agree with Crinnacles list playing the He1000v2 in the very top grouping on his list. I'm the original owner. Purchased from Hifiman. Gently burned them in. Stunning. Mint in factory box. I'm a touring musician (they did NOT tour with me)...

Sold!

Still hoping to find a new home for these guys.

I bought a set of Layla's intending to use them on a 2 year national tour that was covid cancelled last year. I also had a set of JH13's for a few years but sent them in for remolds at the time time as I bought the Layla's. JH lost them during the early mess of covid shutdowns and made me a...

Amp TBD depending on which phone. But certainly appreciate any suggestions on portable amp/dac + headphone combos!

Stunning headphone. My use case is for mixing and mastering on the road and in hotel rooms. (will be spending most of the next two years on the road). Two issues with the he1000v2 - bit of a spike at 9k, and too much sparkle above 12k. Just a smidge but enough to be at issue. Tad lack of mids...

Thanks for that. Appreciate you taking the time to post the chart.

No question U18's at least have a more complete response. ie - any high end and upper mids at all compared to my Layas'. I found the 18's to have a significant bass boost that while desirable to many, is more than my taste. But I certainly appreciate the reply! (and the reminder that IEMS can...

My questions about Layla's was answered below by a kind member who posted the graph. Love this forum thanks for the input.

Gang, Have a set of older sony's that the cord seems to be crapping out on. Anyone have a good recommendation for a repair/re-cabling service? thanks!

Gang,   I'm looking for a small, lightweight amp to drive HD800s. Needs a Toslink input as that's what I need to feed it.   Also need the power supply to be light.   Touring musician. Every ounce matters on long travel days.   thanks!

Babylon5 -  are we talking about the same thing?   I've never run into any situation where latency was that high. I'm assuming we are referencing drastically different situations. The application I was referring to in my post was studio/composing with a daw type work.   Pro Tools HDX...
