Thank you for your answers guys. :)

How is the Poly working with Roon? That’s the only connection Method I care about. Do these problems everyone are having apply to the Roon integration as well? Thanks.

I have a question for Poly owners. When I use my Mojo with the OTG cable from my iPhone and iPad, the sound is actually noticeably inferior to using an optical cable to the Mojo from my mac. It's flatter and not as smooth and clear. The Mojo from my iPhone doesn't actually do that much to...

I wouldn't recommend it. They do run just fine out of my iPad but out of my iPhone they just don't get loud enough to my satisfaction with most recordings. Compressed, pedal-to-the-metal loudness-war mainstream pop works, Patricia Barber not so much. Portable amp is recommended.

STAX Omega 2s aka SR-007 :-)

Don't know about K7XX specifically but I've never heard a single AKG headphone that I liked, and that includes the 812. The HD600 is a nicely balanced headphone and great at its price but that driver has gotten really long in the tooth and can't compete with the superior driver performance of...

Just received mine. Thank you MrSpeakers! Packaging is top notch. Really good presentation with a nice box, certificate and a storage case that is more compact than I expected. Headphones are solid and really comfortable. The foam inserts are a must. They went right in, before that they...

If anyone who couldn't make the introduction batch is interested, contact me through PM. :)

Couldn't resist...  Will be my first experience with MrSpeakers. I hope they will deliver. 

  I agree! Why am I even coming back here... this thread is so full of ignorance and lacking in knowledge and simple reason that it's not even funny. If you need clarification, just read JaZZ's post or several others further back by me and other non-biased owners with actual insight in how...

*facepalm*

2000 usd or anywhere close below it wouldn't be reasonable either. The ~$700 price tag the IE800 carries is quite extreme as it is. It's just an inear after all.

Yes. Carrying around both a phone and the (quite heavy) HA2 was too impractical for me, but I enjoyed the combo. Bass boost is great on trains/loud commute. 

My Comply's fit very firmly. You actually have to put some work into getting them into place when they're new because it's so tight. So it's obviously not true with all tips. The sound does indeed change, however. So you're just gonna have to choose for yourself what is the lesser of two evils.

Unfortunately the stock tips don't fit many of us well, hence the discussion on third-party options. The best sound in the world won't do no good if the stupid little buggers keep sliding out.

Mediocre cellphone pic. But there you have em.  No idea about the 500s, only ever used these ones. 

http://www.complyfoam.com/products/sen-isolation/ These are the Comply tips I use with my IE800s! It doesn't say on the page that they're made for the IE800 but they fit them that's for sure. It's a really snug fit so no chance they're gonna fall off. 

What roll off?  I didn't hear any hiss by the way. 

Measurements aren't there to tell you what you like and not like. But measurements can be very helpful, can serve as a somewhat objective complement to how we hear things and can provide a good understanding of why a headphone sounds the way it does. Due to natural limitations with measurements...

  Well... that didn't help... 

Very much agree with these statements. Big like! 

I never claimed how measurements are the only thing that matters, but I did say they do not lie. :) I'm not qualified to make an in-depth statement of how the measured data corresponds directly to perceived sonic performance. But if there is a problem with a headphone, in all cases in my...

I got em too and I agree. Absolutely no problem with tips falling off of the earphones (rather, they fit almost too snuggly) and now they finally stay in my ears, which they never did using any of the supplied tips. But unfortunately sound is indeed degraded, there is some weird muffling in the...

The Abyss certainly has its strengths (impact, dynamism) but the treble disrupts the coherency of the sound, and the comfort/build is absolutely awful for a $5000 headphone. Hard, stiff, heavy and just an abomination to wear. But I can certainly understand why some like it, it is a unique sound...
