    Finally a flagship headphone under 300g. I hope others will follow. Great pioneering.

    Are the HD800/s still the kings of comfort?

    When was the HD800 the comfort king? Must have missed it. They are pretty inferior to the HD555/598 and the Sony MA900. The HD800 higher weight and too big pads that tend to put pressure on a spot on the jaw under the ear.

    Isone Pro - the best thing you could ever get for your headphones on your computer

    What headphones are you using? I find the HD800 to be the optimal headphone for Isone when calibrated. You lose a bit of fidelity, but this headphone has fidelity in spades to it's a good trade (at times). Isone is however just a poor man's Smyth Realiser when it comes to a realistic out of...

    Popular Classical Music

    As close to a spiritual experience I as non religious person can achieve when listening to classical. Largo from Xerxes by Händel. Beethovens 5th piano concerto 2nd movement. Pure transcendence.

    Best classical recordings...ever!

    This version of Largo from Xerxes arranged by José Serebrier, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra is sublime. This version of Adagio Un Poco Mosso is one of the best I've heard and maybe my favourite classical piece.

    The bass doesn't look like it needs EQ by the graph. It look more like it lies below neutral.

    Replacement headphones for my Fostex TH-X00 (and HD600)

      The HD800 is far from bassy stock. It's only when you pair them with the CR-620 you get the thunderous bass. The high output impedance raises the bass a bit.

    Replacement headphones for my Fostex TH-X00 (and HD600)

    Buy a used HD800 and get yourself a Yamaha CR-620, a receiver fro the late 70s. If neccesay use some EQ. The bass can truly be epic in this rig as is clarity, detail, soundstage and a natural tonality. TB Isone takes this pairing to another level.

    Songs that make your headphone WOOOOOW!!!

    Knorr by Krumelur is a total trip on a headphone capable of producing a good soundstage and imaging like the HD800!

    There is another review/impression comment I saw where the hole Chord line up was compared vs Yggdrasil. Not sure it was Amos on another site or someone else. He had he same feelings about the DAVE vs Yggdrasil as Amos does. The other Chord products inferior in any way.

    Isone Pro - the best thing you could ever get for your headphones on your computer

    I've tried many headphones with Isone and but the Fostex TX00 is he first closed headphones to sound really good yet. Not HD800 level but still. Headphones that roll off too much up top seems to fair badly even though they might sound superb on their own.

    I actually thought it was some rare phone from the 70s based on the styling.

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Is there a way of lower the output impedance on a vintage receiver in a safe way? Usually the whole circuit of the amp goes into the headphone out but with a resistor to lower the output a bit. Is it safe to just remove the resistors completely or just solder in a lower valued resistor?  ...

    Isone Pro - the best thing you could ever get for your headphones on your computer

    Would be cool if there was a possibility to run all your windows sound through Isone. That way you could get the effect listening through youtube or spotify or whatever else source available. Anyone know if this is possible?

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

        No problem The FXD70 and 80 are pretty similar, but the 70 have better bass impact (even though the graph show them as having 8 dB or so less bass) and a slightly fuller more coherent presentation with little less air.  I agree that FXD series lack texture in the bass but it's faster...

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

      I'm sitting here listening to the FXD70 and FXH30 side by side and I can't really agree. At all.  FXH30 got a lot more bloom in the bass but the bass is not especially tight or detailed. Lots of rumble but not much solidity. The mids are fuller but slightly muffled and affected by bass bleed...

    These reminds me of another fantastic value in-ear (best value of the 30 or so in-ears I've tried so far), the JVC FXD70, which also is a micro driver in pure metal with a great cable, good strain relefs, good comfort with foam tips, very good isolation for a dynamic and a V shaped response with...
