Thanks again, good post!

Thanks. Some thoughts. That much bass might be too much for me with alot of EDM as they put so much bass in that music it rather overpowers all the other stuff. Which is why i like older trance. By the sounds they would be great for movies. My DAC/amp unit is a NFB10 if that means anything...

If i could try i wouldn't ask, not practical in this day and age. You seem to own these so can you say about the clamping force or anything that might give me some idea?

Does anyone know if the USB drivers will work on windows vista? Looks like no as the driver documentation simply mentions windows 7 and up. But hoping yes.

Because if its really made in Japan it will be some decent scratch resistance that can take a microfiber cloth to clean the figer prints. Would hate for it to be like a cheap dvd player front plastic that scratches with dry tissue.

Is the front face just glossy plastic or something else like glassy scratch resistant?

Hello. Looking to move from HD600 to the Z1R for all general purpose listening. Will the insides of these headphones be damaged from long term headbanging? That is being exposed to the sudden forces with headbanging. I ask because by the sounds they have delicate high precision insides, like...

For typical music listening part of me can't help but wonder & also is curious if I could get pretty close to a Pair of Grado sr325's or something mid range that is bright just by adjusting the software EQ. My thinking is after a while you will get use to the sound anyway & most typical music is...

If you have some amp/dac gear thats 5-6+ years old & something needs repairing inside, do you usually ask the manufacture to repair?   What manufactures from your experience do & do not offer this kind of service?   This isn't like a generic LCD screen, There are a handful of reasons to keep...

I have the Audioengine A2+ for watching movies & they put out too much lower bass for my taste in a small boxed in area, the result is the lower bass tends to muddy the highs. The settings in audio don't allow any tone adjustment where you can just turn down the bass a bit by a few db.   So...

Looking for what people use when listening to trance for enjoyment? I can't see under any circumstances using a stock store brought chair even with a $1000 price tag. Nothing I have seen is suitable. Doing some online searching shows just comfort mixing style chairs that don't actually address...

I'm looking at painting the housing of my amp & this means losing the names printed on the front like the power button symbol, volume + -, etc.     Just wondering if you can get anything in a sticker form that would look really good? Don't think I have any other choices & just leave it naked...

Does anyone know from long term experience at all? Could the back & forth forces damage the drivers or make them sound different?   Also bit off topic has anyone had neck issues long term?   thanks

I assume there is no sq difference between the 600 & 800 unit? amp wise   Why is the ch800s cable so expensive? Because they know people will pay for that awesome subjective sound? These cables are getting out of control, just profiteering madness.

With 325e, wouldn't you still need a top dac? I cant see an iphone quality being good enough.   second, do you need an amp for older electronic music? the music is already pretty loud.   just thought id ask, thanks
