On the Chinese largest shopping website TAOBAO Hifiman actually states that Ananda's sound signature was made closer to HE1000's, I wonder if that is true. Anyone compared HE1000 and Ananda?

Thanks for the reply. The hifiman store states that the warranty is only for 1 year. I guess even if I can get the proof of purchase from the previous owner, it will still be no good. :triportsad:

I bought the headphones used 1 year ago and was pleasant since then. Yesterday they were working fine as usually. Today when I put them on, no sound is coming from the right side. Tried to switch cables and changed source, still no sound from the right. The right driver is obviously dead. Could...

I really don't know where I can try out the XM3.

ANC headphones are the ones to go if you would spend long time on transportation every day.

I would say XM3 has the most comfort among all these. Put this into consideration if you will wear them for a long time.

I can't make up my mind between XM3 and QC35, I need a pair of NC HP so bad. Could someone give me some advice? Thanks!

I think Bose is the choice. Good all rounder.

Tried both, bought the HEX V2. The HEX V2 is the true all-rounder in this price range. The elear can't handle rock music imo.

  thx man. Do you think he560 is a good all-rounder?

  thx man. Would it be a bad idea to mess with amp and dac to reduce sibilance?

  Thx for the reply. Btw, what amp do you use with he560?

How bad is the sibilance on HE560? If it is bad is there anyway to reduce it?

Did anyone listen to both mdr1a and hp50 before? Which one is better?

To me the HP50 sounds kinda blurry as a 250 usd headphones, maybe it is just me.
