Yeah, I figured as much.  I'm planning on selling it anyways since I pretty much never use it anymore.  Just thought I'd throw it out there since it's still sitting around.

Yeah, wishing I'd tried them on my amp at the meet.  Oh well; maybe I'll make it to another meet before I buy.  If not, the Polaris is definitely on my radar.   The Mini should have enough juice (one review I just checked said it was able to power the HE-5LE and HD800), but the question is how...

After getting to hear mrscotchguy's HE-4s at the Lawrence meet-up, I'm thinking about picking up a pair for myself when I actually have money again.  My puzzle is amps - i.e. am I going to need to pick a new one up as well?  I'm currently still running the Matrix Mini I picked up from...

Gah, stop it with your enabling!   Quote:   Huh, I thought I'd seen somewhere that they'd been discontinued.  TIL... Interesting.  I'll have to see if anyone's tried them with what I have on hand.

HE-4s are surprisingly inexpensive given their performance level.  Not easy to find anymore since they've been discontinued, but the listings I could find for them ranged from $350-$450.  They've tentatively moved to the top of my upgrade list, though I think I'll need a better amp.

Great meet-up!  Lots of cool setups and great headphones.  I think I was most impressed by the HE-4s and the Ghettofabulous MS-1s.  The HE-4s because they're something that you don't hear much about, especially given the hype around most of the other HiFiMan phones (which, at least in my limited...

Isolation with the stock post-facelift pads is excellent.  I can't hear people talking right next to me while I'm wearing them.   And a note on pre- and post-facelift models: either pads make an enormous difference, or there were some driver/enclosure changes with the facelift.  I went to a...

Lol, the HD650 is actually one that I don't really care about.  I've heard them on several occasions and don't especially care for them.  I actually prefer the HD600.  I am curious to hear the LCDs, HE-500s. Alpha Dogs, and TH-900s though and I'd like to play around with some balanced stuff - my...

Dang, this really blew up.  With all the updates, you can change me from a maybe to a definitely.  There's a bunch of stuff on the list that I've been wanting to hear.

Not sure I can make it, but I'll give it a shot.  If I do come, this is what I'll bring:   Headphones Denon D2000 (MarkL modded with angled pads) Beyerdynamic DT1350 Koss Pro DJ100 maybe some original VSonic GR07s if I can get them cleaned up   Amps HiFiMan EF-2A Matrix Mini-i ASUS...

Liked and followed!

If you own Amperiors and are ok with the comfort, I think you can ignore any comfort complaints for other headphones.  The Amperiors are the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever worn.  Period.

I've seen the email from AKG that says  they use a different "capsule" (whatever that is), but people who have heard both generally say that they sound basically the same.  Heck, some people have also said that they have to try hard to hear the difference between the K712s and modded Q701s.  I...
