    Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone

    Looking forward to trying them out. The price is quite high though hopefully they live up to it.   Hifiman need to upgrade their warranty though. One year is ridiculous for the prices on their stuff. They do have good customer service but build quality wise my experience with them has been...

    Recommend a closed headphone under $1000

    Having been in the same situation about a year ago and I was specifically looking for a closed headphone that sounded as open as I could find, while keeping strong bass. I tried most closed-back headphones around under 1000$ and the 1540 were the best and most open sounding. The only other one...

    Just received mine. Couple quick observations. The pads look MUCH better. The stitching is great now and they are back to different pads for each ear. The woodies had the exact same pad on each and it simply looked stupid. The inside is also different. The new ones use perforated leather instead...

    My replacement is also at the delivery center. Shipping only took two days, but I am now living in singapore so that might be the reason. Can't wait to hear them back to back.

    This is weird. I do not have this problem with a similar test. But I have had a similar problem that was related to my O2\ODAC. Do you have the odac\o2 combo in one box? The one I have from mayflower also does this when the odac inside the case is pulled so it touches the rear panel (the usb...

      Whole post is pretty much my exact experience.

      Should have gotten them direct :D. It cost about 40$ for shipping + duty and took 3 days to get them. I'm in Montreal too.

      Great customer service, honestly from the response to the ear pad issue (which was in no way an obligation, plenty of headphones are just designed like this), to this I think it tells a lot about the company.   Here are my problems with them:   - The grill retaining ring glue seems badly...

    I forgot to say, but for canadians, duty cost was only 22$ :D

    Haha yeah...I'll try listening to them without grills to see if I like the sound better. Did you try anything with yours already?

    Yeah I pulled a bit on it and it definitely glue, but mine doesn't seem strong at all :D...Half of the ring doesn't seem to have a drop of glue on it strangely, and where the glue starts it comes off easily. The grill is coming off to the point where you can see behind it. I really don't want to...

    So, received mine today and I love the sound so far, definitely keeping them. My only problem is the ring retaining the grill in place, it is loose at the bottom and is coming out or the enclosure. Is it supposed to be glued in place? Or are pins used?   Don't want to mess with it too much in...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    Weird, but still the difference with the momentum will be much larger. Can you go audition them? You will probably make your mind up instantly. Thankfully its a very popular headphone so you shouldn't have a problem finding a retailer that has demo units...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    Can you drive your HD600 to a confortable level directly out of your Sansa Clip? If you can I honestly doubt the sound differences between direct and the amp\dac stack will be that big. Just tried them directly out of my Galaxy Note 3 and to be honest it sounds just as good as out of my amp to...

    This has to be the fastest a company has responded to a potential problem I've seen, and in the best way possible. Huge props can't wait to get mine.   Interestingly, I have this same problem with the PM-1. After wearing the headphones for a couple week intensively the padding seem to have...
