    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Arya ❤️ … I use my HD650s 99% of the time but I felt like using my lunch time to just chill and listen to music. Always such a joy putting these on and being wowed each time.

    Focal Clear headphones

    I think you’re totally right to be frustrated and it’s some real bad luck that this happened twice in a row. I understand dougms3’s pov that it could be an easy fix and I’ve taken that position before too with other things. But at the same time, you’re absolutely right that no amount of DIY...

    Focal Clear headphones

    I’m hungry and want to make food but I don’t want to stop listening to these epic headphones. Just a few more songs… I swear that going between Arya and Clear it’s impossible to get bored. They’re so different to each other. I don’t see myself ever getting another headphone. Well … “ever” is a...

    Schiit Jotunheim 2 - Impressions Thread

    Jot2 arrived today! This is my 2nd Schitt product after a Valhalla 1 about 9 years ago. I spent the first 30 or so minutes trying to compare it to the amp I’d be replacing in this setup, a Garage1217 Polaris. I was using an Arya and honestly not super obvious of a difference. If anything though...

I have it paired to an HD650 that I got at around the same time. The reason I got Polaris to begin with back in 2016 is because I read that tube amps play well...

    New from Garage1217, the solid-state Project Polaris!

    That's exactly what I'm saying haha! I feel like I have great volume control with Polaris and I'm wondering what the point would be of upgrading to a more powerful amp if I don't need the extra volume / power. ....other than the fact that gear like Topping A90, Schiit Jot and the like often get...

    New from Garage1217, the solid-state Project Polaris!

    Hey everyone! I got my Project Polaris back in 2016 to help drive the HE-500s that I had at the time. It's served me really well. Fast forward some time and in the last year I got what I think will be my last / endgame headphones: Arya & Clear. When I got Arya I remember reading a lot about how...
