My head is somewhat egg-shaped. The headband isn't that well padded and all of the weight rests on a very narrow part on top of my head, creating an irritating hot spot fairly quickly.   I'm not going to lie: the Elears are nowhere near my Mad Dogs, Beyerdynamics or Sennheisers in terms of...

First step on the road towards comfort: a repurposed shirt sleeve while I work out a more permanent solution.

Now that I've spent more time with the Elears on my head I'm liking them more and more as time passes. However I absolutely loathe the headband and the hotspots it creates on my head. As a temporary solution I've wrapped some padding around it, but something needs to be done.   I'm thinking of...

It's a big purchase for me, so I do worry a bit. I got mine from Head-Fi and traditionally in hi-fi I've seen a fairly rigid structure with regards to the chain of importers, distributors etc. In the past there have been situations where the manufacturer said you should deal with the local...

I've been using Mad Dogs with a slight bass boost for years before deciding to go for the Elear. Right off the bat I found the level of comfort.. not great. Compared to Alpha leather pads the Elear pads are less sweaty, but chafe against the skin a bit. We'll see if it gets better with...

I spent a while on this as well and arrived to the same conclusion(except the NeoMusicia isn't available to Europeans, but the eBay links I posted earlier are probably the same or close). The LunaShops silver cable is the same one I saw on AliExpress. Looks like for now the best option is to...

Good find. I've been shopping for another cable, besides the really cheap ones I linked earlier. To me it appears finding 3.5mm -> 2*3.5mm cables is surprisingly difficult. One can get nice looking Sennheiser or Hifiman cables from China for $55, but not these..   So, besides the T1 and...

Something like this or this should work for a short, actually affordable cable.

Seems I'm jumping the Elear bandwagon. While waiting for it to arrive I was hoping to get some amp recommendations(DIY is an option) in the <500$ range. At this time I just have my old Neco and Millet Max..   I actually want this second hand WA7 I saw, but IIRC people were saying it isn't a...

  I understand the ADs are more neutral than the MDs, which might not be the right direction for me. In any case at ~$440-495+MDs in total for the upgrade it doesn't seem like a competitive option to be honest.

Hey everyone,   I've been out of the loop a couple of years and at this time I have some extra funds, so I'm looking to see what's out there in the under 1000€/$ range. My current workhorse is a pair of Mad Dogs. Based on what I've read the LCD-2 seem intriguing sonically, but they're simply...

I imagine you already know Logistics(Now More Than Ever is a good album). But what about Muffler? Mostly liquid, but not exclusively. Bonus(dnb remix of a dubstep track). And a couple of mixes/podcasts - maybe you'll find something to your liking: Ad Noiseam Podcast #1 Dutty Audio Podcast 005...

I ordered some 26 AWG Mogami wire. Does Type I/micro paracord for individual 26 AWG and Type III/550 for 4*26 AWG braid seem right? I'd like to make two cables for starters: one with each wire sleeved and one where I just remove the shielding and use one sleeve up to the y-splitter. Also what...

The UE6000 sale is over, but looks like UE4000 is now discounted, at least on Amazon.de. I don't know how they compare to 6000, but in any case they're going for 39eur.
