For the record, I found a decent deal on the K712s on Amazon and was curious enough to try them vs the K7XX. (Among other things, I kinda like the burnt orange colorway.) So far they seem to match the comparisons I've read before, but I am thinking they might be a bit harder to drive than the...

Two questions for folks who may have opinions: How well would they pair with an m9xx? That's the current DAC/AMP on my gaming PC. (And another one on my Mac desktop, lol) Concerning the mic bleed/pickup - I'm going to run the mic input to the Mic-IN on my motherboard. I assume that...

So you're suggesting that the AD-700(X) is *better* at Destiny 2/FPS/general gaming than the K7XX is?

Because the time and effort of returning or reselling a bunch of low cost cans ain’t worth it.

How is that an upgrade? It's half the price, for one thing - which makes me skeptical.

My K7XXs died, and I tried to fix them but failed. They're only $200, so whatever, I could buy another pair but I'm wiling to try something better that's not $1500. Is there something in the $500 range that is an upgrade from the K7XX that is also well suited for gaming? I prefer the open...

How do you think they could update a USB adapter that would impact the performance of a USB dac? That seems unlikely.

I wanna get a Red but I can't find anyone with them in San Jose.  And I don't wanna wait. :p   Edit: I could get a Black by tomorrow...not sure if I could tell the difference.  But I'd rather have the best...

I'm thinking about picking up an HA-2 SE now that I have an iPhone 7.  My only wish - that I could charge it while it was feeding power to the phone.  This would be for long road trips only.  But can anyone guess for me my total run time if I started with a full iPhone and a full HA-2 SE?  I...

So far I am loving my ER4XRs.  I have a 15 year-old pair of ER4S that just weren't driven well with portable gear and to be honest I didn't care enough to drag a portable amp around with me.  Back in the day, when I was starting out, my portable player was a Creative Labs NOMAD Jukebox and an...

  I tried to have my redirected but failed.  However, the weekend before it arrived I had just installed my new Ring video doorbell.  The guy rang the doorbell, I talked to him, and he signed for it and left it hidden on my porch.

It *is* fairly portable, but I ride a bike to/from work about 20 miles each way. It was extra weight I didn't want to hassle with, even if I bought an extra cable/power supply for each location.  I suppose, if my situation changes, I should be able to sell one of them off.

I have two of these badboys now.  One for work and one for home.  I'm being told that doing that was insane.  Was it?  I just didn't wanna hassle with carrying them back and forth on the bike.  They're telling me I should have saved the money and spent more on cans...

  And it's a 300+ page thread, and the search tool sucks.  Feel free to unsub, I guess, but I went looking for info yesterday that I think will be in the thread and I had a horrible time finding it.  

I do like that wide soundstage, I will say....I'm just not sure I need both at this point, and not sure that it's a clear "upgrade".  

  I use the K7XX at home and the K553 at work.  Mostly because I don't want my co-workers being bothered by my music.  So for me these TH-X00 would be for home where I don't need isolation.  I'm trying to decide a) if I need 2 pairs at home and b) if I want that second pair to be the TH-X00 -...

Anyone using the m9xx as just a DAC with speakers?  I'm thinking about picking up my 2nd one for use with my home computer.

  I hope not.  I'm hoping to score another one for my desk at home, where it would probably feed speakers more often than not.

You think that Massdrop stole them? In the thread Massdrop explains where they source gear. I'm guessing they got approached by some retailers having trouble moving units.

  To be honest, having you hate on Massdrop doesn't help me want to buy your product.  I'm loving my M9XX and my K7XX, and other things I've bought from Massdrop.  I wish I had gotten in on those Fostex headphones.  

This is my first day at the office with the m9xx and I'm noticing something odd.   My plan was to attach the USB power (duh) and then attach the USB data connection to my Thunderbolt Display.  When running the m9xx through the Thunderbolt Display I keep getting some odd artifacts, like the...

Has anyone seen a good transport case for the m9xx?

  So it's a bug in the m9xx?  And they're committed to fixing it?

This is my first external DAC.  I'm trying to switch between internal and external in some way, because what the new DAC adds seems to be going over my head.  I'm trying to setup a "quick change" method to compare my laptop's DAC to the m9xx.  Any suggestions?

  Yeah, I noticed that with my sample.  Am I suppose to fix that somehow?
