Okay so now I'm running Viper4android, but have no idea how to use or get the best out of it, any tips / pointers? Hardware : Samsung s6 edge plus, SZ2000, oppo HA-2. Thanks! :)

Definitely not afraid to root! All my phones until my current one have been running custom roms so it's nothing new to me :) I'll check it out this weekend! I'm using a Samsung S6 edge +, first non HTC phone. The Battery is starting to get a bit poo so I may pick up an LG v10, or see what next...

This is from inside Spotify on Android? Poweramp @Startreker I purely use mine out and about, so I'll likely never use a hardware equalizer for mine .. My home listening setup is a $15,000 Paradigm speaker setup with a Yamaha amplifier and two Velodyne SPL1200 ultra subwoofers ;)

It's one hell of an amp!! I'm not too fussed about battery life as 8 hours is enough for me, and if I go on a long outing I take a 10,000mah quick charger for my phone and the amp :) I'm running Android, so should I look at installing Viper4android (rooting my phone isn't an issue)?

The amp is an Oppo ha-2,its a dac/amp.. Can a few people share their poweramp / Spotify EQ? I can't see a pre-amp volume in Spotify, maybe I'm missing something? Or is that just the phone volume level. I'm new to EQ'ing :o [/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

I do, a pair of Yamaha Pro 500's which I can use .. but I don't have a spare amp to hook up for 200 hour burn-in however :-( I guess I will just have to use my Yamaha's without an amp for 10 days? :(

@olddude Thanks! I'm looking forward to being a member ;)   @Pharmaboy   Damn I did the pad swap already, managed to figure it out after watching youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxYxgo_PMVs I don't think I'm going to bother putting back to stock just for the burn-in. Surely...

Any tips for replacing the headphone pads? Never done it before!

Christmas time everyone!!! Jvc SZ2000 Oppo HA-2 DAC/Amp HM5 replacement pads What's the best way to do a 30+ hour break in? :)

Gotta admit, I'm looking forward to EQing some vibrations to the skull :D

DAC/Amp.. Check! Brainwavz MH5 pads.. Check! Now to wait for my SZ2000`s, hopefully within the next week! :D

Is my Oppo HA-2 going to have the grunt to make the sz2000 play well? I sure hope so, it seems pretty grunty from what I can tell but I'm fairly new to dac/amp for headphones

  Thank you , I've ordered a pair of those with free shipping, gives me time to shop around and find the best place to buy the SZ2000's from. I'm already frothing in anticipation

holy **** LOL   A quick question regarding the HM5 pads, is there difference/advantage between these two ?   Angled ones - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brainwavz-Angled-Memory-Foam-Earpad-Suitable-For-Large-Over-The-Ear-Headphones-/122061626967?hash=item1c6b709e57:g:-B0AAOSwARZXmMG4 Flat ones -...

Thank you!   I'll look into ordering a set, and it seems I'll benefit from replacement pads, the Brainwavz HM5 it seems!  Now, to try and find a place which sells both so  I don't have to fork out for two lots of shipping to New Zealand :-)

Thanks StarTreker,   your enthusiastic post is probably the kind of thing I want to hear!  I will admit I haven't really played around with EQ'ing much before, and looking at the EQ Settings in Poweramp (android full version) it doesn't seem to match the options you've given me, and has 31...

Hey all, My Yamaha Pro 500's have broken, and being a bit of a basshead, I'm kind of drawn to these! Now unfortunately I'm from New Zealand so I can't just pop into a shop to demo them, i'll have to order them blind. I've read well over 100 pages of this thread and I think i'm sold! DAC/Amp I...

  Flick me $20USD and pay for postage from New Zealand and you can have them if you like? They still work perfectly, I'm thinking of using two-part epoxy + Duct tape to secure them until I can get some replacements.   Is there anything else worth considering that you are aware of that gives...

Woe is me :( I live in New Zealand where these headphones don't exist anymore, so I'm considering importing a new pair from ebay. It does seem a shame to not "upgrade" though, however I do absolutely love the sound signature of these headphones!! Are there any recommended sellers people can...

Oh I'm definitely a bass head.. In my bedroom I have two Velodyne SPL 1200 ultras for example :o I think the classical expression was to just find a wide range of example, you know for those days where people give you a track to listen to, I guess I can just restrict that to my hifi setup...

anyone? im a little hesitant to spend this kind of money without some input :-)

Hey all, its time for me to get back into fitness and i need some new headphones ! I've never owned a pair of IEMs before, and unfortunately living in new zealand my options of being able to listen to them before purchasing is virtually non existent.   Im looking for some decent IEMs for...

After a bit more research ive seen a lot of people mentioning good things about the m-80 and m-100 .. i can only assume they are talking about the v-moda crossfade m-100 (http://v-moda.com/crossfade-m-100/)   Also the Ultrasone Pro 900's ..   sadly nowhere in new zealand stocks either...

Quote:   Thanks for your response .. i saw the Amperiors on one site, they are based on the HD25's ?? are they the same , just with the volume control and mic (i dont remember if they had a mic, sorry!) .. if they are indeed the same as the HD25 in terms of driver etc, i would look to...

perhaps the SHURE SRH940 ? Although there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews around bass, or lack thereof
