    Fostex T-X0 Massdrop edition

    Whoops! I meant to say the Brainwavz angled sheepskin pads! NOT Hifiman. Sorry for the confusion! https://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Sheepskin-Leather-Angled-Memory/dp/B01J53WTUQ

    Fostex T-X0 Massdrop edition

    I swapped out the stock pads just the other day with a set of Hifiman angled sheepskin pads and they went on without too much effort. They fit fine.

    Fostex T-X0 Massdrop edition

    I have a spare set of HM5 sheepskin pads in a drawer. I might just give them a try. Thanks for the advice.

    Oppo PM-3?

    If you're looking for clear, detailed, neutral sound from a closed set of headphones that isolate well, these will serve you well. Additionally, they are a classy set of cans so you can wear them in public without being stared at. Recommended.

    aune X7S Class-A balance output headphone amplifier (New product )

    I received an X7s today to go with my excellent X1s DAC and I am very pleased. It is strong, articulate, and just a bit on the warm side of neutral. It drives my Fostex T-X0 very easily and I am looking forward to trying it out with my other cans! Very pleased, indeed!

    ZMF Eikon, Ori and Pilot Pads on MassDrop

    In on the drop for a pair of Eikon lambskin and a pilot pad for my TH-X00. Looking forward to comparing them to the Dekoni lambskin pads I have right now.

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    I have a magni2/modi2 and an Aune X1s that run everything I have just fine. I don't think either would be overwhelmed by the HE-560. The real issue for me is whether I will get $500 more enjoyment from the HE-560 over the HE-400i. If the differences are subtle then I'll save my money but if...

    I appreciate your honest opinion. I'll think about it even though I need another set of cans like I need a hole in the head. Thanks again!

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    Man, for $500 this is a tempting deal. However, I already have the HE-400i. Is the HE-560 enough of an improvement to justify the purchase or is any improvement in the sound merely incremental?

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    I've got a HE-400i, an HD-6XX, and a T-X0 on order. I am not likely going to order one of these but it does look like a good deal! Tempting!

    Best headphones under 20$?

    I have the Tascam TH-02 and the Superlux HD 681, both of which were purchased for under $20.00. The HD 681 is decent enough but the Tascam is absolute rubbish.

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    Very nice! Yes, they are amazing cases compared to other cases that cost more. It is a bargain at this price, though! Congrats on a beautiful pair of headphones, too!
