    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    Been a long time since I posted here. Time for an update on the stuff I use the most. Rankings based on a bit of everything. Sound quality comes first, but also comfort, build quality, ergonomics and frequency of use. • Kaldas Research Conquest RR1 + STAX SRM-313 • STAX Lambda (modified) +...

    Trio KH-0.5 The world's first flathead earbud. Amazing how the fundamental design of these drivers has barely changed at all until today. Notice the exposed voice wire. In modern buds, these wires are entirely coated in some kind of cement.

    Who likes unicorn-level rare stuff? Here's another internet world-first. Pioneer SE-A8 36mm Ceramic Titanium Diaphragm Four rear vents!?!? I'm very tempted to peel off this purple disk......

    I just had a thought. Sometimes specifically these types of planars get 'stuck'. You might only need to wake it up with a very quick loud blast of thumpy/bassy music. I had a U70 that had one 'sticky' driver. After a sudden blast of relatively high volume it would wake up, and then I could...

    Cheers ;) Don't forget to like and subscribe :P I actually don't mind opening up the DX1000 again, it's relatively simple and stress-free compared to some others. I do plan on reviewing EVERYTHING I own ... eventually... so it could be in the next month or so, or in a year :sweat_smile:

    New headphones for D-777 Discman?

    How did the e888 die? If the cable is broken, just get a replacement cable, or send it to someone who can repair it. I would be happy to offer this sort of service.

    It did not. The concept of a silicone/rubber suspension is a relatively new 'innovation' for headphones. AFAIK Sony has only ever made 2 'headphones' with drivers that have suspension surrounds. • VIP-1000 • PFR-V1 Although, realistically they both use something more like 'normal' miniaturized...

    Sineaptic SE-1 - World's First Wireless Dual-Ribbon Array Driver Headphone

    Do you know what colour the ribbon driver housing is? I think the order goes... • Blue = Very Early Production / Product Samples • Orange = First Revision For me the latest revision totally fixed the volume issue. I can crank mine up to very decent levels now. I mean... unless you REALLY like...

    Hmmmmmm, interesting. Looks about the same as the M9X. I wonder what the differences are.

    Kaldas Research INOX: The World's First Consumer Closed-Back Electrostatic Headphone

    I'm pretty sure the marketing hook here is that it's the first closed-back e-stat designed and intended for 'the consumer masses' whereas the 4070 was specifically targeted at studio-use only. Its semantics but still an important distinction for some people. Personally I'm very hyped. Two of...

    I can't comment since I do not have any Asian heads of any size, especially not in my basement, and definitely not preserved in jars of formaldehyde... The metal is bendable...

    Edited - I hilariously didn't realise the foam in the box was just packaging material. Removing this foam makes for a beautiful display piece. Photo added above.
