Thanks guys. Agreed that the finish is especially important on an expensive, limited edition product. Mostly curious to see if I was just unlucky. I worked with my shop already to get an exchange, hoping for the best!

Got mine in today, 104/750. As mentioned by others, the color is even nicer in person! Sound is great as expected and as a sucker for collectors items, I'm very happy to have this version of the headphones. The HD 800 holds a special spot in my equipment collection—certainly one of, if not the...

Do you have a volume limit set under "Music" in Settings? I am able to replicate your issue if I do that.

Perhaps it's your travel case. If I turn the earphones off in the app and leave them on a table, there is no issue--they stay off and my phone is no longer able to connect. However, if I put them in my jacket pocket for instance, they will come back on. My guess is that the sensors on the...

I picked up a set of these WF-1000XM3 about two weeks ago and overall I am quite impressed but have one major problem. My main portable setup is a pair of UE18 CIEMs with a Radsone Earstudio but after using a set of cheaper TWS for the gym these past few months, I decided to revisit TWS to...

Is there any possibility of adding the ability to disable buttons via the app? For instance disabling the volume or next/previous buttons. Not a big deal obviously but I think it would be a cool feature. Sometimes I trigger a button when trying to pull it out of a pocket, bag, etc. and it can...

Phonitor e is on its way to @gzone3lement !   If anyone is interested, I updated my previous post with my thoughts a couple nights ago. 

Phonitor e is set up on my rack now. I haven't listened to it yet -- will update this post once I get some time with it.    Thanks for sending it up to me @humzebra, and of course thanks to @grizzlybeast for coordinating! __________________   After getting some good time in with the SPL...

The Phonitor 2 has been one of the few amps I still have a lot of interest in trying, but just never got around to. Now with the improvements on the X, I'm more interested than ever and it would be awesome to get an extended test.   earthpeople Seattle, WA I don't have any recent...

This was briefly discussed a few years back, but I wanted to check consensus on disconnecting headphones before turning off electrostatic amps. I've done it a few times in the last couple days just to see if anything happens, but it seems there's been no adverse effects.  I ask just to make...

Nice giveaway, thanks for doing it!    My guesses are 1) 168,247 2) 124,888 3) 183,950

    I just checked the website and noticed it doesn't mention pre-amp anymore (except for one of the quoted reviews), and the picture showing the rear of the WA2 has in the caption "pre amp output (discontinued)", so it must have been changed at some point between your order and now.  ...

Very awesome, Will!   Massdrop name is "andrew.a"   Audio products I would like to see more of... I'd probably say speaker amps. 

I almost couldn't believe it when I got the email saying I won, haha   SE has been my #1 place for car audio going back almost a decade now (though I haven't bought much in the past few years) so it was exciting to see them start selling headphones and get involved in the community here. And...

I love the TH900 precisely for its powerful bass and wide, open sound. I haven't heard the AD700, but I think the Fostex keep up pretty well with my T1 and HD800, especially for being closed.    Also please keep in mind that your transducers are going to be the most important part of the chain...

I've started getting into scotch lately. The two that I've had most so far are Macallan 12 and Laphroaig 18. I'm still inexperienced but I find the Macallan 12 to be very easy to drink. The Laphroaig is nice too but it took me a little bit to warm up to it, probably because of the smokiness. 

Wow, I actually received a message from him regarding the Noble 6 that I had up for sale -- glad I didn't continue forward with that.    Sorry to hear about your situation though. International deals are particularly difficult when things go wrong, unfortunately. 

I wear contacts and glasses regularly to see further. You definitely shouldn't have blurred vision while wearing contacts, are you sure the prescription for your contacts is correct? You might have to do a contacts fitting to find out if there's a particular type/brand that works and to ensure...

  What about when you take your 24/96 and convert it to 16/44? Make sure your lower res copy is created from your higher res version and compare those two. 

In college I used to sleep about 5 or 6 hours a night and then take a 2 hour nap when I got home from class/work (usually around 3pm). It was really nice and I always had plenty of energy. I wish I could maintain a schedule like that again but working full-time makes it tough. 

Paypal is acceptable, it's just highly recommended not to send as "gift" because that leaves you with pretty much no protection if the other party tries to rip you off.    The majority of transactions are performed using Paypal. 

  He's making a joke, presumably with respect to the cables made with dozens of braided silver wires that are available nowadays.
