This one works great with Avantone ) https://www.audiophileninja.com/product/philips/

Ether CX is more analytical than it should be ) I get tired of listening to them quickly enough. But, they pair perfectly with the Avantons for detailed listening and final QC.

I don’t know exactly how the 400i sounds, but I compared with the HE5XX... it's just a different category. 5XX and I think 400i just sounds much simpler, less detailed and less involving. Avantone has a very mature sound. At the moment my open Avantone Planar sound quite competitive with my...

Because both ear cups share L R and Ground signal. You can see the cable between the ear cups on the headband. There is no balanced connection out of the box. You need to do some modding stuff. I don't think these Planars require a balanced connection.

I found my serial number under the left pad. So.... two plastic strips one of which has already burst (will be replaced with metal ones), the black elastic will be shifted to the side and the protruding part near the seam will be cut (this is the very place on top that forms a bump and...

Today the spring in my headphones broke too. it happened suddenly when I just took my headphones in my hands. I started to look closely and found that on the other side this band were also bad. This seems to be a constructive miscalculation by engineers who have not calculated the bending load...
