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...

turn up the bass and tape mod a pair of bowls--or better yet, get some flats.

60i+comfies similar to 80i+bowls? my guess then is that the 60i are real harsh. reminds me of someone who thought the rs1i was no different from the 60i. haha. i forgot exactly what, er, i think it's in the cable, but otherwise considering the similarity of these cans, i'm still under the...

Ah the perils of compressed audio formats... VBR's supposed to allow a higher bit rate... but at 320 you can't get any higher (MP3). Or not? I just checked the wiki and found out AAC goes up to 529kbps. Anyone have AAC on VBR going higher than 320?

My noob ultraportable setup. It really is my first rig. Baby steps! Shuffle 3G White chocolate for my ear food. I can live with my music on /b/ (random) E5 for the bass+volume control. '09 PortaPros to get jiggy with it.

ESW9s at the arcade in a posh mall. Looked pretty smug when Skullcandy boys were staring at his cans. Smug enough to keep them around his neck the whole time he was there.

At the end of the film Brüno, Cohen sings with Bono, Sting, Elton, Stevie, etc and I think I spotted a 7506. Then there's that golden AKG I'm not yet familiar with. If you've watched the film, tag those 'phones here! Bonus points for identifying OJ's cans.

Ever since I picked up my first pair of headphones a couple of months ago, I unknowingly stepped into a void we here at HF all know too well. It's a void that's very thrilling to be immersed into, at the same time one that induces wallet anorexia. Now this would be all happy happy save for...

AFAIK those are supposed to minimize microphonics (sound when the cables are knocked around) So if you don't have a problem with that ^ then you don't need to wear the hooks all the time.
