    HifiMan Arya Stealth - right side jack damaged

    Hello. Today I put my Arya's down to go get some water, and when I put them back on my head, the right channel was no longer playing. After some trial and error I discovered that the cable is fine, the driver is fine, the amp and dac are fine, but the jack seems to be damaged. If I only plug the...

    Neumann NDH 20

    Hi all. Apologies if this has been addressed, I did look but don't have time right now to read every post... When I got these headphones about 2 years ago the main thing I was concerned about was finding replacement pads, as I didn't find much back in 2019. Well, now my right side is pretty...

    Reply to review by 'ScottieB' on item 'Massdrop x Koss ESP/95X Electrostatic System'

    Great review as always! I've never heard electrostatic headphones so I've been quite curious about these for a while...

    Same here, Mark from customerservice@hifiman.com But it was also a few weeks ago, before the v2 was even a thing.

    Maybe you know this and don't want it, but I was able to get a new metal headband sent to me on warranty for my 560 v1's when the yoke broke. It's been fine since.

    I consider myself pretty lucky then (after this new version and it's new issues) to have gotten the revised v1's for a good price, broken the yoke, and then had hifiman send me a metal headband as a replacement. Seems like the best combination of sound and build quality. I'm sure there are no...

    I love my he560 with my audio-gd nfb-29.38 which is a DAC/Amp combo that goes for ~$900. It's quite powerful, worth a look.

    Just to follow up, my replacement headband came yesterday and it is the newer one with metal yokes. I'm gonna hold off on installing it until my crazy glue/gorilla tape job fails, but I'm very happy! Love the sound of these...

    Lol, yes, I realize I was wrong, that was the whole point. I made a mistake. Live and learn.

    Yes I know this. What I mean is, it had that little prime logo on the item, and said "sold by OhanaMart and fulfilled by Amazon". This means that had the item broken within 30 days, I could have returned to amazon and gotten my money back as if I had bought direct from amazon, but since it was...

    Hey just curious what that guidance from hifiman said about the rattling driver?

    Wanted to share my experience here. I bought the he560's from Amazon about a month ago. I'd heard of some of the issues with build quality but went for it anyway, especially since there was a warranty. When I first got them they were perfect. I love the sound, and I thought the build quality...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    OK so I know this is one of those annoying questions where I could most likely find the answer if I dig enough, but I've spent so much time reading already and I don't have the time right now... Can someone briefly describe what differences I might expect to hear in the v7 drivers from the...

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

    Does the MKIII need a mod for the 6h30-PI tubes? Or did they maybe change it? I'm pretty sure back in the day at least (like 2008/2009) it needed a mod, and trying to run those tubes in my MKIII is what killed it (though it worked for a couple weeks). Sorry - don't want to add any confusion I'm...
