Sent an email to their customer support team and they’ve mentioned it appears it is normal. Hoping others can confirm too but it is relieving to hear from them Cheers

Hi all! Quick question. When I turn my TA-22 and logo turns orange (meaning it's now working), I can gear some background noise, as if a fan was somewhat moving. Is this something you notice too once you get closer to the unit? Video:

It's just super interesting to read comments about this, because I've also read comments such as that "Apodizing made headphones sound so terrible whereas Brickwall made it shine", but also have read viceversa. Looking forward reading more opinions! I'm like you. I personally don't see any...

Hi friends, have a couple of questions. Bought the TA-22 with HD800S - Is there any general consensus as to which filter might bes best and why? - How does the filter change its sound when you change the filter? I mean; how the mechanic? Can you scroll over the filters or do you need to hit...

Nope they arent, and its a notebook, i mean, there are no "3 jacks" :'(... theres only a (headphone jack) and a (microphone jack)

Hi ! first of all, i hope i did well posting this here hehe, i looked for a "better" forum and didnt find it First of all, i'd like to state that im SO NOOB, this means, i really appreciate your help, and well, i'd like to ask for "normal" words, since i wont understand any kind of specific...

hmm im sure they must be removed in order to connect the others, since one of the sides of the jack that isnt connected (currently the 3m one) is the SAME as the one that is connected BTW: While they are being burning, they are just increasing sound quality !!! they are just INSANE atm ...

Guys really, thank you very much for all your advices ! I appreciate your help as long as i'm just a noob that really loves listening to music ^^ I'm getting HD 438, i'll hope that they send them to me as soon as possible

omg, so i must put the heaphones 1week non-stopping 24h/day they gonna burn but in real, fire etc. ^^

i can buy another kind of headphones 1Time, but i'd like them to seem like those in appearance, i mean, solid, non-portable, etc. i can spend almost 100-180€ for them. For the moment i think i'm taking the 438's

Since i've searched and searched, and i haven't found this kind of topic, i'd like to know your opinions about those 3 kind of cans. I got another post in which im searching good headphones to buy, and well, i'd like you to help me and other people and compare those 3 headphones If...

Ohh!! sry first of all for double posting, BUT i must say sthing i said wrong before I HAVENT tested DT1001 !!! I watched another time the model of my father's headphones, and they are DT501 !! so maybe i can see about this. BTW: im searching for sthing similar to what you almost all are...

so as a conclusion it seems that there's now way to get "good headphones" or "good headphones +amp" for less than 200€ ... i dont know what to do, since i wont be able to spend more than this for so long hehe

so then you recommend me getting Senn HD 595 with an amp? is that your "last word?" :P!!! BTW what's the difference between any amps? i mean, for example, what differs "AMB Labs Mini^3 High Performance." from "RSA Shadow" or "the Pico Slim" ?? which should i choose? does this depend on...

Quote: Originally Posted by KONAKONA If you don't like the D1001 then I doubt you will like the Q40s. They seemed to lack some mids and definitely had overbass. That's why I sold mine. The HD595s, IIRC, would really need an amp to shine. The HD448s don't get mentioned much around...

and not in mind Sennheiser HD 595 or 448? BTW: i'll search about all the headphones you mentioned before this post, some of them look nice! ^^, but i'd want to know your opinion about what i said now :P EDIT: I've tested the D1001 and i don't like them so much. They seem to have...
