Wow, lots of old timers in this thread! Saw the ES-R10 in a Headamp ad on FB which piqued my interest as the OG R10 was one of the headphones I've never been able to try. Thinking of getting a pair while it's still available, since it might be interesting to EQ it through an ADI-2. Lots of...

So, I might be able to get my hands on an Zana Deux SE, #2 SN (assuming EC has #1?), completely unmodded, but I'm not sure what a reasonable price for it would be. I tried searching for previous sales but nothing has come up. Anyone know a ballpark estimate?

That's the thing. I have trouble believing that the hiss wasn't something that was obvious prior to shipping out these first few orders. Retroactively trying to fix a fault that they were aware of but shipped anyways ain't really okay by my book, but I guess it's still conjecture on my part...

I agree -- mistakes happen. Sure. So let's just ignore the order where I didn't get my headphones and say it's just theft during shipping. It still doesn't excuse the headphones that I did receive for my other order. The noise floor is _very_ high on them. Any other headphone manufacturer...

There's no evidence of tampering on my shipping box. The DHL shipping label is placed directly on top of the plastic tape that seals the box. I don't see how it's possible to cleanly remove the tape + shipping label, remove the headphones, and then put the tape + shipping label back on. The...

You've completely eliminated the possibility that it might be because there was lack of QC prior to packaging when outsourcing these headphones to China? How are you certain it's DHL?

Exactly. I have the case and cables. Doesn't make sense since the headset is useless without them. Ultimately this is not the Audeze quality that I was expecting, both for the headphone I received and the headphone that I did not. I also don't want to waste my time dealing with what is a...

I guess I'm not alone: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/952dif/my_audeze_mobius_case_came_without_a_headset/

So I went down to Washington to pick up both of my Mobius orders -- order #106 and #145. To start things off, when I opened order #145 there were no headphones, just a carrying case. Great. Who's doing QA again? I noticed that it shipped directly from Hong Kong and it was completely sealed...

Were there any unit shipping to the US via USPS and originating from Seattle?

For those who shipped their Mobius to the US, did you receive a tracking number? If so, where did it ship from and via which carrier? I shipped my pair to a drop box in Washington but I'm not sure if the package that's sitting there is the Mobius. All I have is a USPS tracking number...

If I could get the LCD-2s to be as comfortable as the SR-009 or the HD800 I'm pretty sure it'd be the perfect headphone for me.  The low end slam is ridiculously addictive, and works well for the genres of music I listen to.   As it stands I can't really have it on my head for more than an...

Quote:   It's very tempting at the moment.  There aren't really any deficiencies I can hear with the LCD-2 though, and from what I've read the differences don't seem to be an across-the-board improvement.   It's also a bit difficult to source the LCD-3s as they're out of stock everywhere.

Quote:   Yeah.  Angled connectors :p

I received my LCD-2r3 today.  I'm pretty sure it's the second best sounding headphone I've owned (slightly behind the SR-009).  What an incredible bargain for ~$800!   Just gotta figure out how to get it clamp my head less...

Quote:   Yeah, I couldn't let that KGSS DX pass, especially since my biggest qualm with my previous Headamp KGSS was that it was too honking big!   In other news, I received my SR-507 and I'm really disappointed.  However, the HD650 sounds ridiculously nice straight out of the ZDac...

I received my Zdac today.  Initial impressions are interesting -- it's certainly way different than the RME Fireface UC it replaced.  Using my monitors, the most noticeable difference is the low end, to the point where I'm suspecting that Parasound purposely EQ'd or tuned this DAC to be...

So, I finally got some free time away from work to unbox and try out the Pico Power after it was sitting in my closet for the past few months.  Pretty late to the party but might as well chime in...   Some unboxing pictures first (notice the neat little optional small volume knobs):  ...

Quote:   The minute I plop them on my head I get a good seal.  I can shake my head around and the seal is still there.  It's only if I purposely try to shift them forward or backwards that it sounds weird.   It's a nonissue for me, but then again it's more likely to do with the shape...

I recently bought a pair of AKG K550s and was thoroughly disappointed by its sound -- artificial, hollow, and pretty much one of the weirdest sounding headphones I've owned.  So I went back to the store today and exchanged them (sort of) for the DT1350s -- much better.  Sounds like a mini L3000...

I'd like to be added to the preorder list as well.  Thanks!

Quote:   Right.  I just plugged in my Pico for "fun" without really expecting it to work at all.  I was extremely surprised when it did!  This is the cable I used, coupled with a generic mini-USB to male USB:  http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Female-Cable-Galaxy-I9100/dp/B0073EPXO4   I...

Quote:   My bad.  Still, it's not in particularly good form to make such accusations after scoring a great deal on another pair.  I see Head-Fi's gotten a lot more hostile while I've been inactive!

Quote:   Right.  I recall you sent me a PM a few minutes after I posted my initial ad with some tips on what price I should list it at, which I was really grateful for since I really had no idea what they're worth nowadays (please let me know if you want me to remove this, I don't mean to...

Quote:   Sorry, I don't mean to derail this thread but I have to defend myself, as a long standing member of Head-Fi for over 7 years.  For what reason do you think I'm doing this to make a profit?  Could you let me know exactly how much I paid for them, and where, because I'm dying to...
