Yeah it is slightly disappointing if you wake up at 3 a.m. to get on this deal only to find out it is still going strong in the afternoon :)

  Can confirm. Happened after three weeks in my case.

  I am quite carefull with them, always wrap them around my fingers into a bundle and keep them in the pouch. Problem with the cable, as opposed to that of the GR07, is that it seems that the wiring is twisting inside the cable. Maybe this is what causes the cable failure.

Thoroughly dissapointed with the cable quality of these, bought them last month after my GR07BE cable broke at the strain relief after 9 months of use and after less than a month the (noticably inferior) cable of the VSD3S has broken down at the strain relief as well. I am not amused...

How could would that be! It looks like he might have bought it from the same OEM, or is that just wishfull thinking? http://www.thefancy.com/things/244154396512879595/Tank-DIY-Headphones

Shame, would have bought these as a portable pair for my daily commute.. Thanks for the info!

Awesome review! But could you also comment on the isolation? Is it on par with the P5?

Sweet. Thanks for the review. Honestly, I am a bit disappointed these are no real improvement above the Denon, esp. since they share a similar driver background.  Still planning on getting the TH-5?

Sennheiser HD457. Urgh. Sounded like they put a carpet on the drivers and it felt like that too!

Am loving mine! I bought them off Nulliverse, who has been great dealing with, and they sound very close to my CAL! (which is a good thing) but with better isolation and less boomy bass (both positives). Also love the cable, it feels thick and soft, and the stock tips work fine for me. Great...

Hi, I have been a member for a quite a few years now and over the course of this time I have had the chance too listen to some premium gear. See my signature for some of the gear I have owned, other than which I have also auditioned to considerable extent the HD25-II, HJE900 and the HD555. As is...

Hi Jambon,   The crackling sound that you are hearing is known as driver flex and the FXT90 seem to be notorious for having it. Driver flex won't effect the sound quality so you can be sure that the FXT90 is not for you. Unfortunately that's about all the help I can offer as I have no...

Hey Ruckdive, how much did you pay for yours via Jaben? I looked it up on their site but could only find a bundle price for the fxt90 (together with some goldring headphones and an amp). Thanks in advance!

Bandcamp and Hypemachine are really interesting options! Still none that match the criteria in my initial post, but good nevertheless :)

Thanks for info guys! I will def. look into using Spotify more, so far I'm really liking it :)
