coming from he-560's, Just got my HEX V2, first song, interstellar - mountains,  jaw drops.

    Just an update on resolving My He-560 broken headband thru Hifiman support.     Quote:     Needless to say, I'm going ahead with this deal. That couldn't have gone any better in my opinion    Quote:

  Well It took less than 30 minutes to get a response this time   Alas, that's a definitive no for replacement headbands. But something better might come out of it...

so I just got a response from Mark of hifiman customer support with regards to replacement headbands for my he-560's:     So with this option, I'd be looking to spend around $100 just for replacing my headbands, well It will get swapped with a new unit after all, but just can't justify the...

I've had my He-560s for the better part of 2 years, and today, the headband finally broke. I'm not exactly handling these with utmost care so I'm not totally surprised and bummed about it.    My question is, has anyone dealt with fixing or replacing the headbands? I've already emailed...

Well if its any consolation its either I get to try the v5i's full boat and get my proper replacements sorted out, or get to keep the v5i's and save a couple $$   Now we need a more comprehensive comparison between the two so I'll know if I'll keep these, let's say if its about 95% of the V5's...

The thing is they didn't even offer me that option. They just went ahead and sent me the V5i's. needless to say I already sent Dennis an email regarding the issue.   Now with regards to V5i's full boat, I had these burning in for more than 2 days now. I can't exactly remember how the V5's...

just received my replacement for my full boat v5 17v. They replaced my opamps with the v5i's plus the heatsink. currently burning-in. We'll see how they stack up with the v5's. I feel these should last now that it has a metal casing.

Shipped back my opamps to burson for replacements a couple days back. paid about $13, not bad considering i was expecting to pay much more. now back to stock h10.

Dennis just got back to me about 2 days ago. I just have to ship back the opamps to them then they can process my replacement. planning on shipping both singles and duals by tomorrow. I wonder how much the postage will be from here in the U.S. Apparently, per their new post, they are also...

affirmative. I've also just contacted them, and requested to replace the singles upon their discretion as well. hope to hear from them soon.   Here are pictures of my 17v V5s full boat. Duals are bust, Singles, while visibly melted, are just working fine.

after some troubleshooting, the V5-d is indeed the culprit. There are visible signs of melting on the opamps. needless to say, I have already swapped out to the stock ones. The V5-s also shows visible signs of melting but they are still working fine. Now I'm not sure if i should ask for...

my headphones started crackling on the right earcup a few days back as well, thought it was my cables,  bought some cheap replacements on amazon, the connectors on my old cables are getting loose anyways.  popped in my new cables, still crackling. started to think the driver was damaged...

my full boat V5s was shipped on the 8th, should be arriving any day now.  this would cure my upgraditis for at least a couple of months   on another note, I wish audio companies could find a way make this upgrading thing more "modular" like a couple hundred bucks worth of upgrade every few...

so its the last day of the campaign and i've been on the fence if i should get the "movin' up perk" ever since it went live. i'm currently backing the base pulse and ive decided to stay where i'm at for a couple of reasons.   i'm not exactly what you'd call a audiophile head-fier and still on...

hello fellow headfiers, so awhile back i asked this thread for suggestions a headphone amp/dac that i could incorporate to my home theater setup, and received a lot of very helpful suggestions.  after some time researching, i decided on this setup; laptop(usb)>headphone...

Pooger, to answer your questions   1) I listen to lossless files as much as i can but use mp3 if it cant be helped, amd based on my recent listening habits, id say its 70/30 lossless/lossy, 70% of the time listening to music and the other 30% researching for them    2) its more of a...

as with anything i have the faintest the idea of, i do tend to over complicate things  anyways, thank you for explaining and clarifying things for me ^^ , and so my journey goes. and on the interest of contributing impressions, coming from a denon d2000, the he560 is simply a revelation in...

My ears have had the pleasure of listening to the he560 for a month now and have been accustomed to its sound signature coming from an "entry level headfi" denon d2000 which have served me well for over 2 years. While i usually do my own research and read countless threads when seeking for...
