Hi Jaytee, did your RS2e come with that tan headband as stock? The local shop sells it with a black headband.

Nice new panels there tomb. Looking forward to more refreshing updates on the MiniMAX. :D  

Quote: None taken at all. I've had my own share of chuckles from myself and from others who've seen this. They say it's a unique production error that could be one-of-a-kind, so I started this thread just to make sure.

Bump! Anyone?  

Just wanted to have a general inquiry among Grado owners if this kind of alignment error is more widespread than I would have imagined.   The misalignment in question is on the right headphone.  

Here's a link from their Hong Kong site: http://register.shure.com.hk/edm/launch/srh1840/en/edm_live.html   Is it just me or did they just give away the official name of the new Shure?

Quote: I have. As an amplifier only being driven from the line out of an iPod Classic, it struggles even after 12:00. As an amplifier+DAC though, things get better, but only by a little. It gets loud enough for me at 12:00 and can go up to 3:00 comfortably, but not at 4:00 because past...

Awesome, and to think this was the first time I listened to an RS1 (vintage) after being a headphone nut for more than a year.   The Omega was simply bliss, but I moved on to the Koss Stats because I felt it was more realistically acquirable financially, LOL. The drop in performance compared...

The Toucan and Boomslang are 22mm shorter than the Anaconda, so pairing it with the Classic or Touch will make the IC stick out less.   I just tried out the Classic (6th gen) + D12 + ATH-ES7 combo on a 1 hour plane ride this morning. Since the ES7 is poor in isolation vs. engine noise, the...

The D12 has good synergy with the HF2s. Less muddy and the highs a little more extended. I haven't owned a D10 but I'm elated at the battery life this thing's got.   RF shielding on it sucks.  

Got mine in black a couple of days ago. Second batch.  

  pre-wired pcb   Count one MiniMAX living in the Philippines  I'm not aware though if there are any other MAX family owners here.   This is my first ever DIY build. I've had about three electronics classes back in high school and practiced soldering for a week before building this...

a lot of explaining has to be done to these "inexperienced" ones if they want to understand our hobby. especially if they're the type that try to justify the price of mid-level cans but can't even distinguish lows, mids, and highs. what makes it futile at times is that they look for a short...
