anyone who uses their IEMs for desktop use know of any good way to get aptx codecs on windows? apparently it doesn't really support it natively so I still get a lot of latency.

I wish someone could custom make a 2.5mm adapter for the connectors. My canare cable and OCC cable both have issues with the connectors.

So I was fiddling with the one of the tubes and the adhesive to the black foam peel off and now it wont go back down. What should I use to keep it down?

Scratch this.

I use spotify premium as my music player, and I was wondering if anyone has tried out the 3rd party "spotimote" for EQing their HE-400s? If so, would you care to share your EQ settings? :D

100% laid back sounding for me. Really enjoyable. It isn't inaccurate in terms of 'coloring' but it rolls off the highs a bit.

I can confirm with both CAL and CAL 2 that the HM5 are a much needed comfort improvement. It benefits CAL2 more than the original in terms of isolation and SQ. 

The Shure 840 pads would be a better fit than they beyer pads I would think. There has to be a little leeway with the pads because the cups are more rounded than oval shaped. It might be a good experiment for someone to try.

Honestly if you're still on the fence about getting the pads then save your money. It's $17.50 american dollars for a pair of HM5 pads, which is less than a bar tab on a Friday night for me. I really enjoy the ergonomics, the isolation is not better or worse on the CAL! (on the CAL2 HM5 pads do...

Tried HM5 pads on the CAL!s and fits my ears sooo much better. I haven't listened to these in some time, so I'm not sure if it changes much of the the sound signature. Since it is a bit farther from the drivers than the stock pads, I think it gives it little bit more soundstage. I definitely...

I ordered some HM5s for my CAL2. I have the original so I'll see how it fits.

I ordered my HM5 pads on the 25th of april, Still waiting, hoping they might show up at the end of this week.

  I got the silver plated one a few weeks ago with my purchase of CAL2. I'm no cable guy but from the stock cable the SQ is noticeably better for me. The silver plated cables are very stiff. It's slowly getting easier to bend but that's a fair warning. If anything, I would go for the black...

How do you guys feel about silver plated cables for hd558s? I saw a seller on ebay selling DIY silver cables for around 40ish dollars. I'm kinda interested if it makes any difference in the sound quality.

It's only started as of late, but my longer headphone cords are having a lot of hiss and interference now with my magni. Like any cable longer than 6ft, but anything below that is perfectly fine. Not sure what the deal is, would anyone have an idea?

I just want to confirm with you guys. I have green dot on the solder plate for my drivers, that's fine. But I noticed my wires have blue band and a black band. I assume blue goes on the green side of plate and the black goes on the other?

That could be it. I basically went full turbulent with their cups, cable and drivers. I added blu tak to the back of the foam strips in order to mount it to the wood securely hoping it might give me better bass. Well it worked, but what you're saying could be what is potentially thinning the...

I've been using my new magnums with the woodies from turbulent for few a weeks now.   Short summary: I can't stop shaking off these feeling of very recessed mids. Either I soldered incorrectly or got a bad pair of drivers/cables. Everything sounds really far away besides the midbass & bass...

I ordered mine a week before black friday. I didn't realize they were on sabbatical until dec. 9 so I've been waiting a good bit now. It's finally in town and I don't live in a large city so it's a bit worrisome when USPS is on the other side of town trying to deliver this thing.

Anyone know how international delivery works with DHL and turbulent drivers? I have the USPS tracking number and it says out for delivery, but on the other side of town. Is it possible they drop the package off at the post office for pickup?   I know they close early tomorrow and jan 1st, so...

That's what I'm hoping for! I ordered my drivers and cups from turbulent about 4 weeks ago. Just got my cups, hoping my drivers are coming in this week!

Subbed. Very excited about this idea. It would be an amazing opportunity to explore different materials efficiently! I myself want to try some ceramic types and heavy metals such as brass or maybe even sterling silver.   Whenever you feel it's perfected, would love a pm of the 3D file :)

Please share the model dl when this is all said and done. I would love to use something like shapeways to make a nice polished pair :D

What pads/mods would you say you would get a great sound signature for the most amount of genres? HD 414s? Flats? Looking for decent bass response with a slight tame highs.

I can confirm the 9th was the day they shipped mine. I received an email with a tracking number for the headband. I think they don't usually send out the tracking number for their other products from what I'm reading in the FAQ.
