What are your favorite genres of music? Do you ever switch out for another headphone?

    I heard about this. Which is why im wondering if a leather alternative would be any good.

Would I be correct in saying that velour pads alter the sound of the 668b?

How do these phones pair with a fiio e17?

Really these things are falling apart and I should just look to get some other headphones. There are breaks elsewhere in areas that support the speakers. I just want to hold off having to do that for a month or so.

Sup   I have some aurvana live 2 that are broken by the hinge which is plastic. What glue can I use that wont eat away at it?           Picture for reference.

    Clean! Thats a pretty creative(no pun) mod :P         Welp, my stock cable finally went out in the left ear. It went bad at the volume slider.

Any info on what's suppose to be improved?

I imagine it would work if you used a 2.5 - 3.5mm adapter to connect it.     FYI Steren 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable doesn't work with these headphones.

Are the hifiman pads a direct fit for these?

How are you guys liking the cable for these? Looking for one for my CAL! 2 headphones and these are suppose to be compatible.

    True you're right, im still curious though. The E17 is my only frame of reference when it comes to a dac/amp.

Has anyone here been able to compare these to a Schiit Magni+Modi combo?

So what changes sound wise between using leather hm5 pads vs the velour ones?     Also, what cables can we use with these headphones? From what I've gathered from posts in here we can use ones for the Sennheiser Momentum and the Sennheiser HD598 headphones. Are there any others?

Balances?   One thing I def don't want is the sound to get darker.   I'm curious, how common is the sound signature. It just seems odd to me to lead off with the sub bass the way these do. I guess ive become used to forward mids.

Got my CAL! 2 in yesterday. I'm not sure how I feel about them just yet. I've never had a headphone that has the presentation they offer. It seems a bit odd to me, I imagine it was done this was to increase the amount of bass (compared to the CAL! 1) without negatively affecting the mid range...

Are any of these variants still available in the US for less than $100?

What's considered a good price for these?

Nevermind, figured it out.

Yes, its the latter. The television is question doesn't have an output specifically for headphones.   Thanks for the reply.

I currently use analog out, the hdtv It has an s/pdif out. Using an Fiio E17, would I experience a noticable different using s/pdif instead of analog audio out or are we talking a minimal difference?

Whats the easier way to repair a break at a 3.5mm termination?       I'm merely using these headphones as an example. Circled in red is the area where its broken. Only difference being on my phones its a 90 degree male 3.5mm termination. At first if I moved it downward I'd get sound out...

I do recall reading a review or two saying that the synergy between the e09k and the e17 was not very good. Don't know if you came across those. Something to consider.

Thanks again, the hard reset fixed it. Hopefully that's something they fix.

Thanks for breaking that down Agent, appreciate it.       Just an update to my previous post, I'm still unable to turn the e17 on, regardless of whether or not its connected or disconnected via usb to my computer. Hold is off.
