What's the point of stealing 1 cent?

These are pretty good for the price, no amp needed. DAC is just for better sound quality, but onboard is good enough. An amp is useful for headphones that aren't efficient or have a high impedance. Maybe look for Sennheiser HD598 if you can go with open-back, it has better soundstage.

I think it's a faulty cable connector in the headphones. You should return/exchange them.

Did you try using the other cable that comes with the headphones?

Too bad I can't join the crew after I purchased a pair of Angie's. I signed up twice and emailed your customer support only to get a few replies that got to nowhere and left me hanging, as if JH appreciates their customers.

A month ago, I completed the JH Crew signup form (which said JH will contact you within 24 hours). A week later, I didn't get an email so I submitted the form again. I waited 3 weeks, then decided to contacted customer relations, sending them an email and attached my receipt. I got a reply that...

Are they age-restricted?:underage::underage:

To start, you can take a look at the AudioQuest Dragonfly DAC/amps, they're cheap yet they make a nice upgrade than straight out of your device. It'll plug into your MacBook and you can use an Apple Lightning to USB Camera adapter or buy a Dragontail to plug into your iPhone.

I agree too. There's too much strain on the ends of the bass pod cable, and those are solder joints, even weaker than a flexible wire. A half-inch increase in diameter would be a lot better.

Same. I already finished the form on the webpage but didn't get an email.

Is JH Audio no longer collaborating with Astell & Kern?

They have pretty long metal strain reliefs on the bend points (and they're really springy) and the rubber is thick but not stiff. It's good enough to not be detachable IMO.

Yep. Literally nothing. Wrong thread.

The listing only had stock photos, so that only works if OP bought them already.
