I'm sorry; the HA-1 is sold.

I’m clearing out some rarely-used gear and my silver Oppo HA-1 fits that description so I’m offering it for sale. I’m asking $900 OBO including UPS Ground shipping (within the USA) and PayPal fees. This amp/DAC needs no introduction – it’s typical Oppo; as such it has outstanding build...

I have the PSBs and think they sound great but I notice a lot of hiss / background noise. There’s a noticeable but tolerable amount with either ANC or Bluetooth active, but with both active, there’s almost twice the hiss. I’m surprised no one has mentioned this; in fact, I exchanged my first...

Quote: Once I receive mine I'll do just that (although mine are the Bluetooth version but I can run 'em in wired mode).  You can see my sources in my sig.

Quote: That's got to be the same headphone.  The bluetooth headphones on that site also look identical to the new Monoprice premium Bluetooth headphone.

I didn't see any info posted about these headphones yet; sorry if this is a dupe.  Anyway, the links to the new headphones are:   http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10823&cs_id=1082302&p_id=10243&seq=1&format=2...

I'm really pleased with the Incase Sonics.  For $80 they're hard to beat.  Read some reviews and try 'em out -- you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Quote: By all means!  Just don't crank the volume.  Any loud noises can cause hearing loss depending on their volume and duration, not just noises coming from headphones.  There's no need for him to get out of the headphone hobby.

I've had tinnitus as long as I can remember (I think from having tons of ear infections as a little kid) -- mine sounds like a quiet high-pitched ringing in my ears.  I've had it so long that I really don't notice it unless I focus on it or I'm in a dead-quiet room -- then it drives me nuts. ...

True, but my DT770 Pros are closed and definitely have the Beyer '"house" sound of the 880 and 990.

I completely agree. I got a pair of COPs because of all of the praise they'd received here and thought they were awful. They sounded nothing like my DT880s or DT990s...they definitely don't have the Beyer top-end sparkle and the bass sounded muddy to me. I got a pair of DT770 Pro 250s instead...

I use one of these with my SR325is headphones and it's great.

If you don't like the included wall wart, then why not upgrade to a Firestone Supplier?  I have a Fubar IV Plus, a Bravo, and two Suppliers, and I'm quite pleased with all of them.
