    Shanling M6 PRO - New version coming Summer 2021

    To follow up on the m6 (21) overheating issues I was having...I didn't replace the battery myself, even though I was prepared to, I did order one (delivered but not used) but opted instead to return the unit to Shanling for an 'Out of Warranty' repair/replacement of battery just in case any...

    Anyone ever had the OLD Koss K-6?

    Good on you for taking the time to breathe new life into them. I'm a fix it if you can fella too! Mine were stolen along with other sound and photography gear in the very early 80s. The thieves must have had a truck or van because it was way too much to carry. We got well and truly cleaned out...

    Anyone ever had the OLD Koss K-6?

    Well Lou apart from making me feel 'Old'. I AM so no offence taken, those Koss cans were quite good in their day and perhaps the best sounding I'd ever owned at that time. They were not the best I'd listened to but the best was well out of my reach financially. I had to make do, live within my...

    Shanling M6 PRO - New version coming Summer 2021

    Hi Holsen, Can I please ask you? when you removed the back of your m6, did the rear panel of the device itself (not any protection that may have been added) appear to be made of metal or another material, perhaps glass or a polymer of some kind? I ask because I was reading yet another glowing...

    Anyone ever had the OLD Koss K-6?

    Thankyou and the Walkman thing is completely coincidental, I did run with the concept though and possibly after the real 'Walkmans' had emerged. I never had one and can't recall when they were first released I'm a tragic for a Stereo Sound and having been a motorcyclist for decades wanted to...

    Anyone ever had the OLD Koss K-6?

    Goodonya! Hope you didn't have to wake her up! In their day and for those on a modest budget they were a good pair of cans, the Sony tape deck drove them pretty well too! My Hifi journey/adventure started well over 50yrs ago as a teenager and there's been a lot of water under that bridge and...

    Anyone ever had the OLD Koss K-6?

    Sorry to drag up an old thread but I had a pair of these way back in the 70s (early to mid)I bought them new in Singapore ( I was living there then) and thought they were great at that time... The KOSS electrostatics were incredible but well out of my reach financially. Several thousand...

    Shanling M6 PRO - New version coming Summer 2021

    Thanks Howard, I'm fence sitting till Shanling let me know about a replace/repair (if needed) I mention the repair because Zeguym reported a significant swelling of the old battery and his tech guy thought that may have exerted some pressure and cracked some caps. Pulling and replacing...

    Shanling M6 PRO - New version coming Summer 2021

    My first Post on this site and thread. I think I have the same battery problem and have contacted Shanling re the cost of an 'out of warranty' repair. No reply to date, likely down to the Lunar New Year Holiday. My DAP is only the m6 21 not the pro or the ultra but was still a tidy sum of...
