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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

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?

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...

I just got these and am comparing them to other IEM's that I have. I also got a 4.4mm Fiio cable for them. Using them primarily with the iBasso DX220 with AMP8. They seem mid forward with good bass (not overpowering), and the highs seem clear enough without being too bright. However, upper...

Within the last 6 months I bought the Fiio M9, but then the FIIO M11 came out, so I bought that too, and then I also bought the iBasso DX220. Will I buy the M11 Pro when it comes out? Probably... Am I crazy? I think so.... Anyone else buy more DAPs than they need?

Anyone with a TP60 buy the balanced 4.4mm cable from fostex? I bought one and it is EXTREMELY tight with connectors. Much more so than my other 4.4mm pentacons I have. I am thinking it may ruin my iBasso AMP8, or other connections I use it because it is so tight. Anyone else have this cable?

Is it possible that connecting a balanced to a non balanced connector can be harmful? Is the quality of the sound impacted?

Did anyone replace the amp that came with the DX220 with the AMP8? Which do you prefer? I think the stock amp 2.5mm is more powerful, but I really want the 4.4mm connection. Any thoughts? Any idea if Ibasso going to update the AMP8?

I would like to use my 4.4mm balanced phones with my Schitt Asgard 2 without swapping cables. I can find all other possible adapters but not 4.4mm to 6.3mm

Anyone else have an iBasso DX220 that is finding the battery life really short? I love this unit - powerful, great UI, great screen, and best of all it sounds fantastic. However, I am disappointed in the battery life. I am getting 5 hours max on a full charge. Maybe with it big ass beautiful...

So anyone have 99 classics? Can you share your EQ settings? I have had these a couple of years and I am tending to not use them much lately as I am finding them to bass heavy and veiled. However, I have been using the parametric EQ on the DX220 to great effect but I am trying to find the...

Hi: I just recevied a iBasso DX220 and I would like a good full sized headphone to match with it. I have a bunch of headphones but none seem great. My fostex and denon seem to bright (although not so with my desktop set up) and meze classic and Audioquest Nighthawk Carbon seems to dark. I...

I was wondering if anyone else have had a significant change in the sound signature that they prefer? I have noticed this and it sucks as I have collected many desktop, portable amp/dac as well as headphones for my "old" preference, and now I don't like them! I used to be what most people...

Can anyone comment on using headphone adapters and their impact sound? For instance, I have headphones with a 4.4mm pentacon cable for my DAP, but I also want to use those cans with my desktop rig. So, I need to use a 4.4mm to 3.5mm TRS adapter, then add to that a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter...

Has anyone purchased any of these, and if so why did you select one over the other? I am leaning toward the fiio but I hesitate as my previous fiio purchases were not great. My X5iii is so Sloooooooooooooow and laggy it is almost unusable. My fiio X5ii has a click wheel that is completely...

I have tried many, and while they are convenient I just cannot find an IEM that sounds as full and exciting as full sized over ear headphones. I have Shure 846, campfire Vega, Audeze iSine20, and others, and I would take my Fostex Th900 mk2 over them any day. I would even take my $300 Fostex...

I am a new member and this is my first post. I have many headphones, but I am looking for a new full size planar magnetic. These 3 seem to receive good reviews, but I am wondering if anyone has heard all three and can compare? I listen mostly to rock and metal, so I do like bass, but detail...
