My comment was not meant to you and I don’t want to derail this thread but the Elex has a different damping scheme and tuning compared to the Elear and it was confirmed by one Massdrop staff’s comment. Besides my friend added Clear pads to his Elear but the mids suckout was still there. My old...

If I were you I would get the MG because it had a more unique sounding compared to the OG. Besides you have the hd600 so the MG will be a complement imo

Silly when calling Elex just an Elear with different pads lol

The elex has 80ohm impedance and is only sold in US

I have not heard the newest Schiit dacs but I owned several its dacs in the past. All schiit multibit dacs sounded compressed and sleepy on the long listening to my ears. It doesn’t matter if it is the gumby, the mumby or whatever versions (repeatedly I have not heard the Bifrost 2/64, Lim ..)...

Ok maybe I have not heard many headphones out there but as an owner of some old Denon (d5000 d7000 a100) and tried the LCD-X and grado (rs1 ps500? Dont remember the name exactly) and I do not think they are what I can call very accurate/resolve sounding headphones. They only sounded cool in a...

A little bummer cause I already own a hd800S lol but 99% headphones in the market have a smaller soundstage than the hd800 imo. Or I don’t remember there is any headphone which has normal sized drivers or drivers without holes gets a huge soundstage. The most bummer to me is the 38ohm specs...

There is still no information about driver size of the OAE1. Other specs sound promising

Wow two Europe audio brands release closed back headphone at the same time. Interesting

So sad many say the 2c sounds differently from the rev2 prefaz (rosewood) ver of the LCD2. Cause I am planning to buy a 2c to get the driver for replacing a dead-of-no-reason one on my rev2 LCD2. I am very hesitating about this plan because sometimes I want to listen to planar sound but I have...

Why did they make those ugly designs? Can a brand introducing ugly products makes good sounding audio?

Lol the drivers look like what inside the Apple earbuds. I liked the dynamic and tangible feel of my earbuds so searched about it extensively in the past

Love my hd6xx and hd800s design and sound. Though I also always love the focal headphones design and sound, their weight and build quality are worrisome to me. Hope this new Axel’s headphone is released soon because the drivers looks very alike to a baby of Focal and Sennheiser ones.

I could not like the 650 on any solid-stated amplifiers until I got a tube amp lol . If you cannot get a tube amp you better buy another headphone that will be almost much better than your 6xx . This was my experience

omg cars and watchs 😂 My most expensive headphone is this hd800s and it is in some price basket of some apple watch versions I think. And I don’t know if the most hi-end version of aw can be used as long as my cheap hd6xx. My lcd2 died a month ago for no reason while Audeze cable and pads have...

Thank you for your info. My pads on my hd6xx are still fine too. And it is not only about the material, it is also many 3rd party pads for hd800s have flat shape (while the genuine ones are bell-shaped). Ime leather pads often have echo effects that I feel anxious to listen to. But yeah leather...

Tks for your reply. Pardons my arrogance but do you mean oem as genuine Sennheiser parts? I only use my one-year-old hd800s a few hours a week and after my grief with some big headphone brands built quality I hoped I can use the pads much longer :( This hobby is quite time and money consuming...

Hello guys, So today this happened when I cleaned my Hd800s pads . The tinny flaked black dots. I want to ask if anyone has seen something like that? I also worry if I inhale it and it come into my lungs lol

May i ask why do you prefer the piety with hd8000 planar headphone? Tks

Nice pic but clean is the last word I can think of when thinking of my two v1 and v2 modi multibit lol

I took this 2 days ago. Too much gold in this pic and I love it lol

By describing “less rounded off”, did you mean the MJ3 is less balanced than the Mini? I searched google for round sound and it showed: A pleasingly balanced sound (having a pleasing mixture of high frequency to low-frequency).

hats off to the op. My beloved lcd2 rev2’s right driver just died yesterday. I don’t understand why it happens to my headphone because I have always babied it. And it happened after the lcd2 being for months hanging unused. I am so frustrated. I replaced stock pads and cables many times due to...

Hello guys, My LCD-2 rev2 prefaz's right driver died today after a long time left unused. I am so disappointed. I have always cosseted my headphone through the years though the pads and stock cable have kept falling apart. In recent years I have realized that if my LCD2 was not paired with the...
