bowei006, When I went across the border to ship them back, FedEx wouldn't offer me insurance on the ground shipping Justin asked me to use. Shipping was $22.11 to you. The guy literally said "We don't do that" but also said "We will cover damages for the lowest cost possible for replacement"...

Quote: I'll be honest with you, I cheated a little bit because I live in Canada and border on Michigan. I asked Justin initially if it was ok to ship to a US address, bring them back to Canada and he said it was. I shipped it to a photo and art studio where one of my mom's best friends...

I sent the LCD-2's today guys via FedEx ground as instructed by Justin, it's on it's way to bowei006 now. Sorry for the misunderstanding and what not. 

No, I actually just think the material involved makes them sound that way to a point. I do want to hear the 500's though. It was between them and the LCD's when I signed up for the demo so I chose the one that was most out of reach. From what I have read I think I I'd like the sig of the 500...

I'm not sure this carries over to the HE-500's but the 400's literally sound plasticky compared to the bamboo LCD-2's. At first I didn't know what it was but then I realized it sounded like hollow plastic and that's exactly what the HE-400 is. (Aside from the drivers, grill, etc)

Believe me, I'm glad it got resolved too, I was panicking because I knew everyone was going to get mad/upset and at the time I couldn't do anything about it. It doesn't feel good to have people looking at you like you are a thieving a-hole especially when you aren't. It'll be a good day when you...

I wouldn't have given up the spot if I was them. The wait really was worth it. Don't worry guys. You really have nothing to lose.

Got the demo pair of LCD-2's from Justin and I've been driving them out of a pitiful E11 and my fathers Marantz home theater amp. I think even out of these sources they are worth it over the HE-400's. I will be buying a pair, just go for it when you can. Also, about the Stax, this is head-fi...

Those concerned about "missing or "stolen" LCD-2's, please read: Ok guys I am really sorry for what happened with the confusion on shipping. I'd do nothing to screw anyone over, I've been screwed over before. What happened is the person I sent it to got two packages the same day and they got...

They do indeed have a blurb about burn in as well.

Just get the HE-400 and get some J$ Beyer pads, tames the brightness a little bit, bass is improved, lower and more volume to it. If you are very sensitive to it though I'm going to have to recommend you stay away, or try it and buy it. I really love these cans, resale is pretty high as well...

Hey just letting you guys know I'm selling off the remaining stock of Jeremy's Grado headbands as well as b-stock (slight imperfections, lower price) pads for Denon's and Beyer's. If anyone wants something just drop me a PM. 

He is in France at the moment. I have a box of b-stock (slight imperfections) pads that I am selling for him if you are interested. 

Guy's, I totally freaking goofed. I got a notice today from the post office about holding my package until the 1st. Since my mom brought me home a package (my personal pair) from the mailbox about a week and a half ago and I had a packing slip, I figured she picked it up for me from the post...

x3 on headamp, Justin is great to deal with. Happy shopping. 

Still pondering the sexy as hell Lyr, I love the look of that amp... just calling my name all the time now. I wan't it so much...   EDIT: Living in Canada drives the price up a fair bit, $535 total from Headphone Bar, $551 from Schiit if I get charged duty...

This right here shows the excellent quality of customer service Justin offers. Justin is such a good guy, if you want HiFiMAN products, ordering from HeadAmp is a no brainer! Awesome service man!

Quote: $20-30 to "rent" $999 headphones? Just pony up so as long as you have the amp for it, beg your friends and family. 

Currently I'm using nothing but I might try and use the screen from my pleathers once I pick up some super glue.

I got my J$ pads today guys, not the bulk shipment, based on when I usually work and when Jeremy messages me I was in bed so I may have gotten back to him a little to late unfortunately. Anyways, the J$ pads are brilliant, comfy and the sound is fantastic, bass got a nice bump, the highs and...

I believe as of now I am the only Canadian on the list to demo pair of any of the headphones since I'm lucky to live so close to the border, I'm going to receive and ship them in the US. But hey jtinto, it's not all bad, you got Bay Bloor Radio, they have that really nice Peachtree amp set up...

I'm not sure if you got the USB version or not but it won't be as satisfying from your iPod into the Biforst, 3.5mm-RCA or dock-3.5mm-RCA or whatever you are doing. If you plug it into the computer it bypasses the sound card in the computer, essentially it's own (I think I'm correct?). This is...

Quote: Take it from the other Mat (yeah I got one T) in this thread as well, depending on what the source is and what's in between the source it can make a very large difference. Straight out of your iPod touch it will sound pretty mediocre for something you payed $400 for, take your...

Quote: I have to respectfully disagree with you, while the bass is not as loud if you will, it certainly is accurate IMO and I'm using a puny little E11. I love the HE400's for all ranges of electronic music. While I don't own the IE8's anymore I'll be honest with you, the HE400 blows them...

Just so everyone knows I'm in a conversation with Jeremy right now as well, he had way more than anticipated. Some of the J$ pad's will likely be shipped to me along with some b-stock (small flaws in the product so I can sell for cheap) and some Grado headbands. If you are ordering from within...
