    Any chance you could post a few more pictures of the unit (back panel, original packaging, etc.)?

    Sennheiser IE800 IEM's

    I can't disagree with this statement, as I too have the Vesper mmcx modified IE800. It has a bit of a cobbled together look, which led me to purchase the IE900 when it came out to have a more finished OEM look with, hopefully, slightly improved sound quality. The thing is, I keep going back to...

    Recommend CIEM for HD800S Lover

    Thank you for the tip (pun intended)! This may solve my issue and allow me to keep the Sennheiser sound signature!

    Recommend CIEM for HD800S Lover

    Maybe I didn't explain too coherently in my original post. I have no issues with the sound of either the IE800 or IE900. Love them both. My issue is with the fit and comfort of universal IEMs, so I am trying to determine what custom IEM would most closely replicate the sound qualities of the...

    Recommend CIEM for HD800S Lover

    Again, if I'm not mistaken, the A8000 is a universal fit IEM, and I'm looking for recommendations from the CIEM field. I will throw out two that I am considering, and the CIEM crowd can tell me if I'm on the right track: UERR or, if I want to spend a little more, Noble Audio Kaiser Encore...

    Recommend CIEM for HD800S Lover

    These are universal? I'm wanting to go custom.

    Recommend CIEM for HD800S Lover

    I love the HD800S for home listening and have gone through a lot of IEM's, including IE800 and IE900 in an effort to replicate the HD800 sound signature for portable use, but I seem to have recurring issues with fit and comfort, so I want to give customs a try. I always lean toward "best bang...

    Ultrasone Panther Anyone?

    Thank you sir! Two years after my inquiry, I still can find very little critical analysis of this DAC/amp. Looking forward to your review and what headphones/IEMs you have paired with the Panther.

    Reply to review by 'NewMexiCat' on item 'FiiO Q5s TC (Type-C)'

    Thank you for the great review, this amp is definitely on my radar! I have a bluetooth question. Is the iPhone still limited to an inferior bluetooth codec? Does the Q5s Type-C app alter or fix that in any way? I would like the convenience option of bluetooth, but given that my source is an...

    AirPods Max

    I'm interested, but at that price, certainly won't pre-order. I don't like the design, but could live with the space gray version as it looks the least "toy-like." I am a big fan of the AirPods Pro. I know there are obviously better sounding options, but they are just so darn easy to use with...

    Ultrasone Panther Anyone?

    So I'm in the market for a balanced portable DAC/amp that is MFi Apple certified for easy use with my iPhone, and while I am very familiar with the FiiO models and a few other alternatives, the Ultrasone Panther has caught my attention and seems to check a lot of boxes. Problem is there is very...

    Sennheiser IE800 IEM's

    Yes, Vesper Audio is in Europe. I have sent my IE800 to them for the MMCX recable job, but don't have them back yet. I have heard nothing but good things about Vesper. The only downside, for those of us in the US, is you have to be very patient waiting for shipping.
