Beats Solo 2: Is the Head-Fi community willing to give these a fair chance?
It's very possible I discovered that track from your post then. I can't remember haha! I went with the black with red highlights. It barely won over the dark silver color. Actually I'm still not sure if I made the right color pick. :/- SoundWalker

Beats Solo 2: Is the Head-Fi community willing to give these a fair chance?
At first I was not terribly blown away. The low-end bass felt a little reserved and the high-end bass felt a bit exaggerated as if to compensate. After spending a week with these, I have to admit I am now quite impressed. They now feel much more balanced. Often lots of agressive...- SoundWalker

The PA2V2 Thread
Quote: Yep that's pretty much my story. Like others have already stated, he's an awesome guy and has amazing service. I just emailed him about the struggle I'm having powering my HD 555 headphones with the pa2v2 and he immediately offered to take a look at them and repair...- SoundWalker

The PA2V2 Thread
Quote: Sure thing. My Audio sources are a MacBook Pro and an IPhone 3GS through their headphone jacks. I use a both a 2 and 5 ft 3.5 cable to the pa2v2 input jack. I then plug my headphones into the output jack of the pa2v2. I'm using a Grado conversion wire to bring my HD 555...- SoundWalker

The PA2V2 Thread
Quote: Hi Roller, Thanks for your reply. All your headphones fall into the 32 to 36 ohm range according to a little google search I just did. This is in line with my theory - though I don't have a 36 ohm headphone (only 44 ohm) - that the pa2v2 is simply not cut out for a headphone...- SoundWalker

The PA2V2 Thread
Well I went back and redid the gain setup on the pa2v2 using my hd 555. No success. I'm now convinced the pa2v2 is simply not good enough for a pair of headphones of 55 ohm impedance and up. You lose huge amounts of sound definition and quality. The sound is simply gutted. I've found...- SoundWalker

The PA2V2 Thread
Quote: Thanks for the reply apatN. I agree with you. If I were reading this as someone else I would of thought the same thing. The sad thing is every time I go back to adjust them, there is no position whatsoever where the HD 555 come to life. They certainly get louder but the...- SoundWalker

The PA2V2 Thread
Hi all, I have been lurking here for several years now. I've been a happy owner of a pa2v2 for more than a year now. It gives great sound in all my in-ear earphones and my low-end over-the-ear headphones. Unfortunately, the pa2v2 has failed completely at powering my Sennheiser HD555...- SoundWalker
