Looks like the Chinese saw this thread ! I bought my Pro 80 in 2013 for €80 and now they are €100 and higher !

I never knew someone responded here ! Shame on me. Glad you like 'm too, I will be the one who get these out of my brothers closet once he will part from them.

It's nice to see that a treath I started long ago is clearly alive today

I second this big time !   My kids go through earplug phones in no time and there are none for the same price which have remotely the same natural sound.

After buying the MH489 I also bought a Takstar Pro 80. The pro 80 is a great piece, I 've let some friend, who do professional audio mixing, use it in a live setting. One of them said it was way better then the €200 set he'd just bought and the other one wanted one. So I sold my Pro 80 because...

I wonder why noone has written a review on the Pro 80 yet... so many people own one   http://www.head-fi.org/products/takstar-pro-80

After one week of use, some impressions on the Pro 80:   First thing that caught my eye was the size, is 't small ! The earcups are small, the headband is small when not pulled out. I have to adjust the earcups till max to get it on my big head. Once it's on that head first thing I hear is...

I bought some velours HI2050 earpads together with the Pro 80 because I like the comfort they provide. Yesterday I'd put them on the phones and I couldn't believe the difference... all bass was gone with the velours earpads It suddenly were treblely headphones without any fundamental lows !  ...

On the build I can tell you this: better than the Beyerdynamic DT770 pro !

I just got my Pro 80 at DHL's and I plugged it into my iPhone. Played the song "Bridges in the Sky" by Dream Theater. The song begins with real deep throuth chanting and than fall into a massive guitarriff....   I really think you guys on here are incredibily hard to please ! These headphones...

I don't think it's stalling. China post is making problems over certain items. I ordered different things: aluminium nuts, headphones, clothes, air filter, li-ion Macbook battery and there have been problems with the battery, for being li-ion. China post refused it for being dangerous goods.

Yeah, small packages like the Takstar or Superlux velours earpads are no problem. My Somic had the discription "Childern's shoes" on it and nobody opened it. Well, can't have 'm all
