I was going to say go for open because you already have a good closed. However, I see that you sold the Denon. I don't know what headphones you've had before, but if you're listening in a place that won't bother anyone, then I'd say go open this time. You're after comfort. So, be sure to...

I have some Hifiman headphones in a drawer of several other headphones that I have but don't really listen to much (sometimes I'll listen to my German Maestro headphones, though). Don't recall which model the Hifimans are, but they aren't very expensive. The HE1000V2 looks pretty nice, though...

Don't really know? My IEMs have been good so far. :ksc75smile:

All but one of my IEMs come from China and they're great. It just seems to be a little more higher risk that I'll land a unit with an issue. I suppose it goes with the turf considering the good performance at a lower cost. I would think that even the "expensive" products from China would cost...

The thing that worries me are the quality control threads that seem to pop up for this brand. I tend to see people having issues with Topping than other brands. For just about every product you're going to have some people who have issues and some that don't. However, it still makes me a bit...

Thanks. I'll take a look at them.

I’ve decided to spend around $1,300 +/- $100 for some new equipment. I’m going to have about $800 credit at a store (Bloom) and would like some help with what to buy. The choices I have listed below are available at the store and look nice - but I don’t really know THAT much about them. Music...

Honestly, I couldn't really say. I went straight to the guide right after I received my WM. So, I never really gave myself the chance to listen to it enough before I made the changes.

I don't like cases and I don't use screen protectors. I enjoy the tactile sensation of handling the product with nothing on it. I used to use cases and screen protectors until I realized that I don't tend to scratch them and would have enjoyed them more by themselves. There's always a first...

Already been all over that guide. :relaxed::thumbsup:

Yes, it's weird how much I love that thing. I thought "that's such a smart thing to include" when I first saw it.

Light grey pad on left:

Something like that. At least, that's how I'm using it on my desk. It's 7 inches by just over 5 inches and about 1.5 milimeters thick. Light grey. I set my Sony DAP on it and I can sit it or slide it around on the desk without scratching anything. I'm looking at industrial merino wool felt...

Hello. First post on this forum. I bought a WM1AM2 a couple of weeks ago and I really love it. The other thing that I really love is the small desk pad that came with it. I just bought a second DAP (just to have a second reference for a DAP with a different sound) and would love to get a...
