Not sure about nowadays, but back then an amp that would boost the bass while smoothening the rest of the sound signature. That was the Heed CanAmp. Perhaps nowadays you could try Peace and use one the K701 settings with a modern Amp/DAC. Yes, the Q has a different tuning than the K, mostly a...

That is, of course, if this theory is even true. Perhaps they all sound similar and people back then were just making reasons to help them cope with a sound signature they found they did not appreciate...

I have a 4968 serial number T1 first gen. But never have heard any other T1 so I don't know if the comparison lives up. But comparing it to my other headphones, there is a lot that I feel could be improved, so if they did improve them in the later revisions, that might be for the better.

Is this still available?

How would you go about scoring one in the US?

Thanks for “letting us know” about something that’s been discussed already, and mentioned multiple times in this thread. Also they’re looking at all options such as partners to invest in them, not just selling. Let’s not be Chicken Little here. With regards to the HD8xx, if it was priced under...

I do not. I would get the non-balanced audio jack version.

Put in an order for some CP100s, will see how they do. For cables, would just any silver or copper plated one be a significant change? Eyeing this one since it was easy to find.

Something with more bass so the E tips might be a good option. As for cables I'm not sure what to expect from different cables but I hear how the stock cables can be improved on so really open to anything.

Any recommendations on cables or tips for the SSR if I want to explore outside of stock? Trying to see if I can improve on the sound (which I actually like a lot already).

Heads up if anyone is interested, Office Depot has the Around-Ear Wireless for $288.99 after applying coupon code 89048172.   Product code is M2AEBTBLACK. Will see in a couple days if it's the REV02 or not.

How does it even support SACD and DSD anyway? There's no optical player in the thing. Or are we supposed to get a real SACD player and connect it to this to output?

Have been using my SHE3580s for a bit since I've gotten them now, and I think they've been at least burned in enough (60 or so hours of use). Appreciated the recommendations about the tight seal with these earphones, for that did improve the sound quality noticeably. Though it seems these...

Greatest of the ones I've personally tried would be the D7000s. Very nice headphones indeed, especially when half the listing price. ;)   What I have coming next are the Kenwood KH-K1000s. Have heard some nice praises for these over the years, and wanted to finally try something that could...

Finally decided to pick up a pair of these as my Creative EP-630s are no longer serviceable.   I'm mainly a headphones guy (only other IEMs I have are the Triple-Fis), but needed some decent earphones/IEMs to use during commute, and decided to try these based on popular feedback. Picked up a...
