I used the Takstar pro 82 for a while, but now one side had stopped working. So I'm looking to buy open backs now. Any good chi fi open back options that punch way above their weight? I bought the Philips Shp 9500 and sold it. It was good but somehow I didn't like it that much. Else I'll up my...

I was planning on buying the hifiman he 4xx from massdrop but after reading the reviews on their horrible build quality, I am having second thoughts. Almost everyone has a problem the earcups coming loose. Is it advisable to stay away or go for it ?

And suppose i increase my budget to somewhere around $100. Would that get me something good?

I have been a long time member here and i frequently keep reading up on the headphones and iem section. I have bought a few. Something that i have no knowledge of is Dac and amp. I currently own Creative aurvana live ( 1st version ), Takstar pro 82, Vsonic vsd2s and a few other iems on the way...

Can anyone share the link for the pro 82 on aliexpress. I can't seem to find the TakstarAudio store listing.

I was not planning on buying these because i intend to use it straight out of the phone and i was told that i need an amp for them. I just realized that i have a fiio e6 lying around somewhere, so can those power these headphones to a decent level? The music i listen to is mostly classic rock. I...

What about the nvx xpt100. Do those have an old and new version as well ?

Well that rules hm5 out. And how would these compare with the takstar pro 82.

Can anyone give me a comparison between the Brainwavz HM5 / Nvx Xpt100 and Bosshifi B8.

I've owned the takstar hi 2050 earlier and i thought they were quite good. The bass could be a little tighter and the mids a bit forward. But i loved the airiness and clarity in them. How do the pro 82 and boss b8 sound compared to that.

Any idea how these compare sound wise to the Hifiman He4xx which are available on massdrop. I read that the 4xx is similar to 400i. I was looking at either the Pro 82, 4xx or the Bosshifi B8. The music i mostly listen to is classic rock. Bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple so i like...

The e10 will definitely not work for me because it uses USB for input and neither my nexus nor cowon have that option. I can't even go for the used amps because I stay in India. The amps I mentioned are the ones which are locally available. So just wanted to know if the e11 would improve the sq...

I am using the Cowon D2 player since years and i am quite happy with the sound quality. Recently i bought a nexus 5. The sound quality on that is quite good but the volume is very low. So i have been thinking of buying a portable amplifier for that.    The headphones i use are Takstar Hifi...

I am looking for a headphone in the range of $ 50-60. Currently i have a cyclone pr1 pro iem which i had bought reading your review.   I want good detail and soundstage but i like bass too which is controlled and doesn't extend into the mids.   I have read about the superlux hd 668b and...
