This is easily fixed, if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. There is a single small screw underneath the plastic clips, attached to the end of the headband. The clips can be be released by pushing down towards the driver. You can find the screw underneath some tape and you just have to...

Just an update to these impressions. I received the final production unit of the replacement grills from Custom Cans and they've added a ring that snaps on to the outer portion of the grill once it has been installed. This provides a really nice finish to the unit, although I'm not sure if it...

Yeah, it was dead-simple. I've always wanted to paint the original grills black, but was too afraid to disassemble the headphones. But if you take your time, it's not difficult at all. And yes, big payoff. At least IMO. And Jason, the modder, let me know that they're blue because that's the 3D...

Is My XS is Better Than Your Arya? So, I was a lucky viewer of Custom Cans YouTube channel who was able to snag a pre-release version of his Edition XS grill mod. There is a whole series of videos on this mod, so anyone with an XS, I recommend checking them out. This mod has really...

Yes, I would agree that Mojo2 is worth the extra 200. Don't think twice.

The Mojo 2 is more than enough for the SE and Organic. Not sure about 1/2 because I haven't heard those with the Mojo 2.

I found that A/B testing is not as reliable as living with the DAC for a couple of weeks and then going back to the other one. I had an XDuoo X5 Pro and then got the OG Mojo. It was difficult to tell much of a difference upon A/B testing. But after living with the Mojo only for some time and...

Yeah, the treble response on the D7000 truly is a thing of beauty.

Spent about an hour today listening to the D7000, and left really wanting to buy it. I had gone to the shop to spend some time with the Arya Organic, which I did, and thoroughly enjoyed. But there was a new D7000 on the counter so I said what the hell. Couldn't stop listening to it. Improved...

I had this too. A little shot of Silicone Spray fixed it, and the creaking hasn't returned after more than a year.

That won't fit Arya cups.

I've been a Steven Wilson fan since I joined this forum back in 2006 and was turned on to Porcupine Tree at the time, so I may be a little biased, but Holy****MeSideways this album is one of, if not his absolute best recordings. And that's saying something. Damn, thank you Steven.

I joined when I was 40. I got my first IEMs for my 40th birthday from my wife. I don't remember exactly, but I think there were Shures. Now, 17 years later, I guess I'm very close to becoming an old fart.
