As different from each other as the HD650 is from the HD6XX I suppose.

You're aware that the HD-58X are $150 new, right?

People were also 'hearing' the difference between the JVC HA-FD01 metal inserts. And then someone measured them and they were all exactly the same. If people are permitted to promote something, I believe people should be permitted to challenge the claims. And as stated, I would bet my entire...

We're discussing the plating on the headphone jack I believe, not cables.

So someone is able to reply to me with a sarcastic meme, but I'm not allowed to reply in kind and state the facts? People who spend money on snake oil audiophile trickery are spending it on nothing... they simply like shiny things, similar to a fish.

Keep spending money on nothing.

I'd bet my entire life savings that not a single person on earth could truly tell the difference.

That'd be great news if this were a site dedicated to computer components I guess. I personally don't give a crap about computers, and really love the headphone section of Drop... not stoked about the acquisition.

Haven't talked to them about the Cascade cable. Got my Vega tuned up with some E6000 industrial adhesive. Seems like it'll hold. Looked at the CA website and am foolishly considering buying some Mammoths. I'm an idiot.

Like I said, I've got several other pairs of headphones that are cheaper and older than these, and none of them have broken. I don't think I'm the problem here. Plus, the Cascade cable is horrible, and ALO began as a cable company if I'm not mistaken. CA said mail them in. Pretty inconvenient...

I've got multiple headphones that cost under $500 which sound good and have lasted eight or more years. A $1300 pair falling apart in a few years is downright unacceptable. No excuses. I may try to get them repaired. Just a huge hassle and costs money I'd rather use on other stuff.

Original Vega owner. Nozzle is detaching due to the crap glue they used to affix it to the metal housing. Shipping from Germany plus repair costs isn't too appealing. Cable on my Cascade is terrible too, super glue repair jobs because the plastic was breaking. Cloth is all kinked up. I'm put off...

Hi, Where can I get a battery replacement for the x5 second gen and instructions on how to replace it? Thanks, Jon
