I like it angled forward on your head about 20-30°, you can spin the cups freely. and one extra click on the adjustment bigger than you think it should be, the clamp force is sufficient to keep them in place, don't rely on the headband.

They are engineered leather super soft, but still leather, so keep them clean wipe them down with a good leather cleaner every week, and use a conditioner every month, like leather honey. And they will last for decades.

did you try tilting the headband forward 15-30 degrees and rotating the earbuds accordingly? a lot of people find that to increase comfort dramatically. or maybe you would like some moleskin padding stuck to the part of the pads touching your head something like...

It's quite warm, but accurate and has a really low noise floor. Seperation is nice, it's not fatiguing in the highs. It's very much a classic sabre sound. To be fair some of it might be the mqa. Though I have a hard time telling the sabre dacs apart. I can tell more between my amp cards on my...

If you like the dragonfly red, it's kinda old-school and last generations tech. Zorloo makes a little dongle called the ztella that's a sabre chip, a newer one I believe than the dragonfly uses. It's a little cheaper 99USD. And their customer service is amazing. I had one of the channels go...

I use an ibasso dx220, plug in amp for computer on dac mode and can unplug it for an dap. If you want something smaller, zorloo ztella is a great little dongle if you like the sound of the ess sabre and mqa support

A lot of people tend to rotate the ear cups so the headband sits closer to the front of your head. It's more comfortable. Also others and I found it more comfortable because there's enough clamping force that whatever setting I thought I needed for my fat head on the band to give it one more...

USB C right? i really like the zorloo ztella. https://www.zorloo.com/ztella its a sabre 9281cpro for mqa version and 9270c for not mqa. 120dB SNR, THD+N @ 0.0006% kinda expensive 99$USD, shipping is a bit slow comes from china I was kinda rough with mine, and broke it, i sent them an email...

I use them almost exclusively with my ibasso dx220 with amp9. They are so easy to drive, they ain't even that bad with a little dap dongle

hand made, they are just tightened to a different torque. most people probably wouldn't even notice. phrase i use is perfectly imperfect.

I bought a 9200 without hearing it, and I've never been happier

Good luck, I can't imagine a day without mine

only if your traveling like 100+ feet, and even then just get a lower AWG, (thicker copper)

yeah, of course great amps sound great. in my opinion the 9200's are not hard to drive. some headphones require a lot of amp output to get the volume up high enough to enjoy. With a good high powered amp, your not pushing the amp 80-90% of max with the 9200's. it takes a lot less power to...

mine is ibasso dx220 with amp9, its a great little dac, I have a sweet spot for the sabre chips, and the little amp9 with nutube's. the little amp9 imo pairs so perfectly, it smooths out the harshest parts of the 9200, if you can even call it harsh, and lifts some of its weaknesses, if you can...
