I am glad my appendage is not that small. That being, said I do worry that the rotating mechanism might break if I detach and reattach the cable frequently. The 3m cable is coiled around my the leg of my table for optimal length, so it cannot be removed and carried around easily (aside from it...

I recently purchased a shorter replacement cable for my ATH-R70x for use around the house. I plan on using the stock 3m cable at my desk. How durable are the recessed connectors on the ATH-R40x? Do they tolerate frequent ejections and insertions?

They were on an EU tour until recently. I myself saw them in France. Definitely a very unique experience.

Thanks for the highly detailed write-up. Do you think the 6xx is less detailed than the R70x? I have read and heard on multiple occasions that the 6xx is more detailed than the R70x.

Thanks for the opinion. I also doubt the other two are substantially better. My next upgrade will hopefully be something more for dedicated listening. How so? Just curious.

I unfortunately have not had the opportunity to try the HD600 myself. I was hesitant about Sundara due to bad experiences with Hifiman QC. I also got the ATH-R70x for longer sessions and desktop use. For that it's lack of technical chops might actually be an upside. That being said, do you...

Lucky that you were able to go to a GY!BE concert with your son. Must have been a very nice father-son experience. I have found it difficult to take people, because it's just not the most 'easily digestible' bands. I also think speed and layering might be helpful. I had the chance to briefly...

Welcome to the Godspeed You! Black Emperor Appreciation Thread You likely would not have found your way here without knowing about Godspeed You! Black Emperor in the first place. But by way of summary, Godspeed You! Black Emperor (also known as GY!BE or simply Godspeed) are a Post-Rock and...

What is that neat notebook stand?

Is there a broad consensus on whether the HD600 (or Sundara) are worthwhile side grades or one should rather use the money towards a proper upgrade toward the next tier of headphones? A review on headphones.com states that [...] all three headphones are very good for the price. Though I may...

My first post in literally years, so I might be a bit rusty. Finally received my very own ATH-R70x. It is a headphone I have been eyeing for so long I do not even remember whether I have ever heard it before (I might or might not have heard it years ago at Audio-Technica's old showroom in...

  I find this intriguing. One of the few cases I have seen where the headphones themselves feel vastly out of proportion from the rest of the chain.

  Just don't forget to format it to FAT32.       According to my knowledge the AK100 is only a USB DAC (and not, as you might have thought, a USB DAC/AMP). You have to connect an actual additional AMP to the AK100 to make it produce sound.

  I wanted to ask the same thing. In terms of output power and driving versatility. I would be pairing it with a output impedance modded AK100.   Thanks.
