Sony has new headphones, MDR-1R
Just got the 1-RNC last night. I only had a couple of hours to play around with them, so these are just initial impressions: - Comfort: these are incredibly comfortable cans, I can easily imagine where these for hours on international flights. They migh be the most comfortable headphones I've...- yoshixb

HD800 or LCD2 - questions about long-term comfort and longevity
Sure, I'll try. So, the first thing you notice is that the pads are covered in a suede-like brown material rather than leather. It's a type of vegetable suede. Quite soft and comfortable. Second, the pads seem, at least on the ones I compared, to be a little softer than the standard leather...- yoshixb

Schiit Owners Unite
The Lyr is my first tube amp, and I love it. It replaces an old Creek OBH-11 I've been using and I love it's sound. Still using the stock tubes though. If I was going to roll in new ones, any recommendations on the first ones to go with?- yoshixb

HD800 or LCD2 - questions about long-term comfort and longevity
I realize I'm jumping in quite late here, but hopefully this is a little additive. I've had the LCD2s for about six months now and find them quite comfortable. The slight difference is I ordered the "vegan" version with the brown fake suede ear and head pads. This wasn't a political statement...- yoshixb

Ortofon e-Q5 Impressions Thread
Hi guys, just wondering...I've had the EQ-5s for a year and absolutely love them. Bu now, I'm getting the itch again. Are the EQ-7s so similar as not to make it worth it? Any others I should consider. I don't plan the get rid of the 5s. Can't imagine ever getting rid of them.- yoshixb

Yes, opened a ticket with the help desk. They then shot me an email and told me to send them back. I got the replacements 24 hours after they received my return. Very quick and relatively painless!- yoshixb

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce NE-700X earphones / IEM (non-mic version) - post your thoughts here
Hey, yeah, my first 700Ms had recessed mids, the bass and the treble were fine but the mids were nowhere to be found. I sent them back and got a replacement within three days. The replacements are outstanding, a clear step up from the NE-7s. I use a Headstage Arrow every now and then...- yoshixb

Update when you get it! I shot him an email last week and he said it would "definitely" ship this week. Well...haven't heard anything yet. I'm almost considering going with a TTVJ Slim...because I'm impatient.- yoshixb

Got my replacement pair today and...I'm thrilled. A clear step up from the NE-7Ms. Cleaner bass, much more detailed highs, better sound stage. There was clearly something "off" about the first set I got. The bass is strong but not overwhelming and the detail is very good. If...- yoshixb

Now you've got me seriously wondering if I got a defective pair, because these do not sound as either of you describe. Think I'm going to send them in and exchange them for a replacement pair to give it one more shot.- yoshixb

The build quality is what's held me back too. They're beautiful and feel great. It's too bad the sound isn't clicking with me. If you figure out the right replacement, let me know.- yoshixb

My first post here, and I'm only doing so because I'm a huge fan of the NE-7s. I've had the NE-700Ms for a week now and have decided to return them. While the bass response is amazing, I find the sound to be disappointingly hollow. The mids are very ressessed. The highs are very detailed, but...- yoshixb
