Hey qusp, did you get my PM? Not sure if your inbox is full or something along those lines.

Thanks ancient, I'll give that a shot

Ah apologies for not being clear, I was asking for someone to fix them so I could use them again. Sending you a PM qusp, thanks.

Gonna hijack this thread for the access to QLD head-fiers. The left driver of my FA-011 has stopped working with only a little bit of use. I'm wondering if anyone has the skills and materials to have a dig about for a possible fix. On the main FA-011 thread a Melbourne Head-fier said "You...

Quote:   Is qusp a Brisbane head-fier? To be honest, if I can't find anyone in Brisbane I'd be happy to pay for postage for you to muck about with them if you could be bothered. Quote: Yeah that's been attempted. Fischer responded to an initial query and asked for photos. They've...

Run into an issue. The left driver of these headphones has stopped working (for no reason I can fathom) after probably under 100hrs of use. I'm reluctant to send these back to GD-Audiobase for warranty/RMA replacement due to reading a few horror stories and next to no positive experiences. It...

FlySleep you're very good with words. I'm wondering how you would compare/contrast your 8400 with the FA-011 as I understand you did enjoy the latter as well, but they are certainly different phones. I own both and am curious to see how you'd describe them.

It's a fair deal if it's w/ stripper. I say take it!

Hey I'm definitely interested in coming. New to this headphone business and starving to listen to some cans and setups. I've got a KRK KNS 8400, FA-011 and e17 to bring along if that's what we're meant to do... :)

Could I clarify (I just finished reading through this whole thread), that one of the 'bad' batches was the dark/black wood with the straight cable? With extra painful highs and poorer quality bass?

Quote: Thanks a lot Zombie_X (if that's what I should refer to you as), I actually live in Brisbane, Australia, so I appreciate the offer for the foam but it'd be just a LITTLE too much effort for some pieces of foam ;). The KNS-8400 has been my first headphone and I've had it for 6...

Quote: Could you detail to me how much foam/what density material would achieve the same mod as you've done? Also I've noticed you own the HD600, it'd be a lot of help if you could did a quick comparison of the two for me. I'm looking into getting an open phone and HD600 is on the top of...

Thanks Windsor and TMRaven for the informative feedback

Hey Windsor, really like the review. I'm wondering how you would rate the impact/presence of M50 bass compared to the HD600 as an open phone. I haven't had a chance to really listen to some decent open phones and am wondering how the bass differs between higher tier open phones vs cheaper closed.

Quote: Thanks for the response. I'm listening to FLACs and 320kbs. I'm just wondering if there is any area in which the Senn HD600/650 may be lacking over the KNS 8400s? I understand the Grados are known for their speed while I have noted some observations that the Senn 600s can potentially...

tl;dr have krk kns 8400 (like it), looking for open alternative/upgrade Hey guys, I've had krk kns 8400s for about 5 months now. They're my first headphones and I've really enjoyed some of its qualities as listed below: - detail - clarity/presentation of instruments (guitar/drums in...

Hey guys, I've had these headphones for about 5 months now and have really come to enjoy their sound. These are my first headphones and unfortunately where I live there isn't much opportunity to try any other headphones out. So with this being the case, I was wondering if anyone could suggest...

[EDIT] ignore this post, just read previous pages   I'm looking for a relatively cheap/entry level portable amp/DAC for these... The greatest use will be for replacing my onboard laptop sound but I would like the portability/amp option for with my phone or otherwise. Obviously looking at the...

  Quote: Hey thanks for the reply. Your material looks really helpful as a starting point. I'm overseas at the moment but will hit it all up properly once I get back. As for what preferences I have... I think I appreciate a wide range of the style so it's difficult for me to say...

Thank you for the responses. I doubt I'll be doing anything close to skateboarding so they sound as portable as I need.

Just wondering if these headphones would be much of a hassle to wear around outside of the house... I've heard that they stay on the head well enough, are light and have moderate isolation. Probably the greatest use out of the house may be on the bus plus a short walk. Opinions?
