    So I like the Edition XS more than the HE1000 Stealth edition. Am I crazy?

    So I had the Edition XS for about a year, and I love them. However, since the HE1000 Stealth has been dropped to $1,399, I figured I would upgrade and buy them. After about a 100 hour burn in - They are just not for me. After a short time my ears almost sizzle off as these are BRIGHT! They...

    Fostex TH900 Mk2 question

    Hello: Wondering if someone can help. I had to take the back of the earcups off my 'phones to get at the ONE screw that holds the left and right driver housings to the headband (it was coming loose) - if you have fostex TH610, 900 1 or 2 or the drop collabs, you know the screw I mean. The...

    4.4mm pentacon extension?

    Hello: I am looking for a 4.4mm pentacon extension for various headphones I have (4.4mm female to 4.4mm male). I have upgraded all my headphones to this connection and they all are long enough for portable or desktop, but I need about a 10 foot extension for one of my amps and have not been...

    Drop Beyer DT177X distortion?

    I just got the DT177X and I swapped to the leather pads and initially I loved them. Nice strong bass like but not too much. Very punchy. However, after more listening sessions I started thinking these was distortion in the bass. Without any type of EQ or bass boost, the bass seems distorted...

    IEM with long stem?

    I have a terrible time getting IEM's to fit. The only IEM that fit me correctly was JH audio Michelle. However, it had bloated bass and overall muffled sound to my ears. But the fit was fantastic. The lola also looks good with the long stem, but I fear I just don't like the JH sound based...

    Meze 99 classic pad swap question

    Has anyone tried pad rolling on the Meze 99 classics? I am looking for pads that reduce the mid bass a little and extend the treble. Not sure if any do but was hoping someone has some experience trying.

    Anyone know where to get a case for the Fiio M11 Pro?

    It does not come with a protective case and I cannot find anyone who sells one. Anyone know where to get one?

    Just got the new FIIO M11 Pro. A note for those of you considering getting one.

    I will when I get more time, and perhaps burn it in a little. Just got it today. I have a DX220, Fiio M9 (use it with monoprice THX portable amp), and I also just got the Hiby R5.

    Just got the new FIIO M11 Pro. A note for those of you considering getting one.

    Just want to let those of you considering getting the M11 Pro - it only has ONE SD card slot. I know there was talk of this, but they did it. Also, you need to look closely at the amazon listing. It says "64GB memory plus up to 2TB expanded storage" in the "main" top listing. I was thinking...

    Fostex th900 MK2 loose earcup yoke?

    Anyone else have a fostex headphone where the little screw that holds the yoke to the earcup is loose? I have the TH900 Mk2 but my TR-X00 ebony also has the same mechanism. the screw is loose but I cannot get at it because the actual earcup is in the way. How do you tighten the little screw...

    Fostex recommendation

    Thanks Monkey I do have the TH900Mk2, and I have already put on the 610 pads and it did help a lot with the treble. My Schiit Loki also helped greatly :). I also bought a LQI cable 4.4mm pentacon for my 900's. However, I decided I would like to keep my 900's as single ended to be run from my...

    Anyone know who could Mod my Denon AHD7000 for me?

    I have a set in mint condition and I would like to have detachable cables installed (if this is possible), and maybe some better earpads. What is the Lawton(?) Mod?

    Fostex recommendation

    Looking for some thoughts on different variants of fostex headphones. I have the TH900 Mk 2 which I love, when using it with the Schiit Loki, where I can tone down the upper frequency by a few dB. Not always, but usually it just comes across as too bright for me. But with a little tweaking of...

    Oriveti OH500 - anyone have them?

    The specific tracks I found piercing are pretty obscure heavy metal, but if you have Tidal you can find them. From the Astralium album "Land of Eternal Dreams", the chorus of the second song titled "The Journey" was tough. It sounded like the female singer was shouting in my ear. Also, the...
