Hello! You're looking at a listing for some beloved Noble Audio Savanna UIEMs. I've had them since April 2018. I used them for hours each work day since then. So the Pelican case has wear on it. The monitors themselves, and the vast majority of boxes and accessories, still look mint. The IEMs...- neochikara

*Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*
Currently at about 12 hours with my Schiit stack (see avatar) and I have some quick impressions. Opinions are based on switching from an iBasso D7, which I used constantly over the last couple of years. Headphone used were my stalwart companions over many years: Denon D2000, unmodded save for...- neochikara

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
Just got my Comply T-100's in the mail today. Rolled them in my fingers and then inserted. And... Incredible sound! The sibilance I was hearing is significantly diminished (though still present in a lesser degree in certain songs--I'm beginning to think I'm listening to terrible recordings...- neochikara

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
Just received my DBA-02's in the mail awhile ago. Coming from Denon D2000 cans (with J$ pads), the bass was, as you might imagine, seemingly lacking at first. It took me a few songs to realize that the exact opposite (as most people have). I'm incredibly captivated by the clarity, detail, and...- neochikara

Nuforce uDac for my Denon AHD 2000s?
I have the D2000's and the K-Money leather earpads paired up with the mighty, little uDAC (look forward to trading up to the uDAC-2!). I love the combo. While I'm sure these cans would sound better (albeit different, possibly) with a more expensive amp like something from iBasso or RSA, I find...- neochikara

Seeking closed, neutral cans for approx. $200
So I got the Denons today! Some quick impressions: very nice build quality, though the headband isn't as nice as my Sennheisers (which is odd, considering the Denons retail for double my HD555's). My lightly used D2000's arrived exactly as my seller described and with only a few dozen hours on...- neochikara

HD555 Stress Cracks
Quote: Yes, that specific foam mod. I think there's one other one that isn't reversible. You'd have to look it up, though. It changes the sound signature in a different way than the mod I did (the "555 to 595" mod). I used my 555's for two-thirds of my time with them simply...- neochikara

HD555 Stress Cracks
Quote: I would still get them. You can get them for a fantastic price--sometimes less than $100. After doing the adhesive foam mod (seriously takes only five minutes and totally reversible) and having owned them for almost two years, I love these things. The crack means nothing and if...- neochikara

HD555 Stress Cracks
I've had those cracks for months on mine. I wouldn't be too concerned about them. Like NapalmK said, it's just cosmetic damage that--I want to believe--comes from regular wear and tear. I was freaked out for awhile when I first saw the cracks on mine because I handle my audio gear very...- neochikara

Seeking closed, neutral cans for approx. $200
I ended up going with the Denon D2000's. bluntman offered me a fantastic deal. I couldn't possibly have refused. I've done a lot of reading on these forums the past few months, but I spent a number of hours today researching and reading up about each of the models you guys suggested. I know...- neochikara

Seeking closed, neutral cans for approx. $200
Yeah, I'm liking the Shure SRH 840's, and I just discovered that Earphone Solutions has a promo code to use on them that saves 18%, making them $163.18 shipped to my address. That's a pretty killer price, I think. I'm also interested in the Fischer Audio cans, but the distributor's only seem...- neochikara

Seeking closed, neutral cans for approx. $200
Whoa, a deluge of information! Thanks for the information, assorted folk. The Denon D2000's look fantastic, but a little outside of my budget--which I have to unfortunately be pretty firm on. I know that audiophile gear is a vicious space where wallets get obliterated and credit cards...- neochikara

Seeking closed, neutral cans for approx. $200
Thanks for the input so far--especially the detail opinion, revolink24! You are correct, though, I am looking for naturalness, not neutrality. And yes, the high impendance Beyerdynamic cans were very tempting (Amazon has some stellar prices on them right now!), but I read a topic on these...- neochikara

What is currently the best gym IEM for +/- $30 ?
I just bought a pair of Sennheiser CX-250's for use at the gym. To my ear, they are like a more refined version of the CX-300's which I used at the gym and during commute daily. While I'm still burning them in, I should note that I wasn't looking for accurate buds to use at the gym, just...- neochikara

Review! Fischer Audio's FA-004
I'm incredibly excited about many of Fischer Audio's products. Is there anyone here that's heard these fantastic cans and either the Sennheiser HD555 or 595 and can comment on their similarities and dissimilarities? I currently own the 555's and love them, but am in the market for an additional...- neochikara
