Hello, I'd like to try the headphones. I live in Richmond, VA. I currently have the Monoprice m1060 and the Fostex T40RP mk3, I would love to try premium planars. I have a few DACs and nice amps to test it with. As well as the LG G8, known for high quality audio playback.

You can play with the stock cups with many different mods, all with materials totaling less than $20 US. I'd play with that in the beginning, you may find something you really like. I have some dampening clay, cotton and felt on my T40s and I'm quite happy. ----------- On to my pads. I mounted...

I see you Monkey Shoulder. :beerchug: Is the Takstar headband an easy swap?

Place the pin with the yoke's inside hugging your worktable edge. Now go to town on the yoke. Two or three big hits should do it.

There is a second groove for the clips. I actually had 6 not 8. Each side had two on a pin, then one on the other. LOL, the guy in the video mention the clips didn't fly across the room. My first one I popped off, it's MIA.

The open m1060 are basically the same but with a another set eclips right inside the yoke. You're going to have to use some force. My left side had some clear gaps between yoke and the outside of the pin. I was able to use a thin spudger to get them out. My right side were basically painted or...

Got the gear ordered! Hopefully it's all here by the weekend.

On removing the clips to remove the yoke. Do you lift them up and out with pressure? I saw you used wooden tweezers for that, earlier in this thread.

Is it simple to get the HiFiMan band on? Just removed the old one and redrill the holes bit larger? I have a set of the m1060 v2 modded to my liking but still with the stock headband. Grills, thinner felt, fuzzors, different pads.

I'm using the massive pads from my m1060. They're comfortable and thick, there's a lot of space between the ear canal and driver, calming down the treble a bit.

Thanks for posting this guide. My cable has actually broken open in 4 separate spots lol but they're still working fine. I'm going to open them up and do the removable cable mod.

Thanks for posting that. I've neglected my RX700s for a few years now. They were my first set of good cans. Been using the M1060, SHP9500 and T40RP for a good long bit. Just threw on the JVCs (I already had the angled pads on them), they're so much fun to listen to. Planning to do the cable mod...

At home, PC with M-AudioTransit Pro DAC connected to a Matrix M-Stage HPA-1 headphone amp. If I'm in an office and not using earbuds, a DX80 connected to a Topping NX-1.

I've been using the IconX for more than 4 months now. I really enjoy them but 99% of the time I'm using them it's for youtube/podcasts. If I'm listening to music, I always use my cans/iems. With that, music still sounds really good for what they are. A bit bassy and narrow soundstage but that's...

I just checked the Bay and they're going for a fortune right now. The seller says they're an authorized dealer.

Nice protective case. I'm using a slim case I found on ebay, initially purchased for my T40RP.

Testing out some cheap pads from the bay. Does everyone keep on the thin driver felt cover when pad rolling? I took it off. I also bought some adhesive felt. Will try rear fuzzors next. Edit: went ahead and tried front fuzzors first. Reiterating what others have said. More powered needed...

A lot of people won't require mods to enjoy the sound. You could get a set from Monoprice and return them if you don't like them off the bat. A free mod is to remove the foam cover the outside of the driver. You can see the it's thick/dense from my pictures earlier. Another simple mod is the...

I was able to test the Sundara on loan, check out what I and others have said about it here - HiFiMan Sundara Loaner Program! About two weeks later I got the M1060 and there is a noticeable veil on the Sundara when compared to my T40RP and M1060. They still sound great though, less harsh on...

I seem to get the sorting bug when playing a folder. I have albums in separate folders with file names sorting the tracks in order. 1, 2, and so on. If the unit auto powers off, tracks are played out of order.

Nice, how much did the prints cost? I was able to get the honeycombs for $10 shipped. I'm really thinking of buying a printer for myself :D.

Ordered the headphones and some 3D printed covers and they both arrived today! I had some thin foam inserts that came with a pair of headphone pads and they were the perfect diameter to replace that thick foam. Any recommendations for a longer cable that terminates in a 1/4"?

Where are the files for those cups/baffles? They should fit the other mk3s if I'm not mistaken. I own the T40s and I'm on the verge of buying my first 3D printer.

HIFIMAN Sundara A Layman’s Review Thanks to Todd for loaning the headphones to me. I tested the headphones immediately with my Fiio X1 and and Samsung S8 just for kicks and was surprised the DAP could power them to enjoyable levels. On the other hand, my phone needed a bit more juice. These do...

Thanks, I've been listening for the past few days. Writing up review now. @Todd, shoot me a PM or email letting me know who's next.
