My pads have dissintergrated so thanks for the item number. I might hold on to the 80 for a little longer. They're a little too v shaped for me so I'm interested in trying the 82. I'll check out our comparisons thanks.

Thank you. I'll check them out. I've got a soft spot for Philips gear. I had some of their HiFi separates in the 90's and loved them.

Are the Takstar Pro 80 still competitive sound quality for under $50? I've got the itch to replace them but I'll spend the $50 elsewhere if its not much of an upgrade.

I've been happy with the Takstar Pro 80s I discovered thanks to head-fi many years ago. In fact, I'm still happy with them but Christmas is coming and people will ask what i want and i'm thinking maybe a replacement. Is there anything new significantly better than these under $50? or would that...

I'm still enjoying my old Takstar for the house but looking for something smaller for out of the house use. Something like the Koss porta pro size. I know they're popular but i'm not keen on the styling. Anything from Aliexpress fit the bill? Thanks

I've done a few searches on here but not getting any results. Has anyone got a recommendation for a budget Bluetooth earbud from a Chinese etc... ? Possibly something like the airpods. If not just regular bluetooth earbuds

Thank you for your reply, all sorted. I remembered my dad had the same pair so I opened his.

The right channel is dead I've opened up the cans i can see a read wire disconnected. Is this soldered with the other read wire or soldered to another point? Anyone have a picture or diagram? Thanks

I would like a HDD player for my hi-fi system but they all cost over £500. Could a dap be modded to run off a HDD rather than a SD card?

I'll have a try at reformatting it again tomorrow.

Right so i had my 64gb card formatted at FAT32 but i was getting lots of jittering problems so tried EXFAT which has solved the jittering problem. However now going into some albums files to play all the track names are their but when i go to play a song it says no file then starts playing a...

I need to give the hds1 as second chance. They have not been burned in but I found them a little light on bass with the x2. I've never considered myself a bass head I find the edse and rock zircon too bassy on the x2 however I find the rock the most enjoyable of all my iem with the x2. I'll give...

How do you know what firmware version you have? Out of my I'm ear phones I have I'm enjoying the rock zircon with the x2 most.

I really love my pro80 I had them for Christmas. I try to sneak off when I can for a quiet listen which usually ends rather quickly by a rug rat diving on me. The new model they're about to realise seem more compact so I'll have a pair for out of the house.

Yeah I downloaded a free program to format my 64gb in fat32 its working fine. Just google it.
