    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I'm talking specifically in this case, the K712s performance more or less correlates with it's price in comparison to the Pro 82, at least for my usage scenarios. I even prefer the K712s over more expensive headphones but that's another story. I'm all for paying less and getting more, but...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Yeah, the K712s are my favorite headphones for a reason :) They're amazing for music, movies and gaming. I guess it really comes down to your budget and whether or not you need portability. I wouldn't commute with something like the K712s obviously. That's where the Pro 82s come in, they seal...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I'll do a quick comparison between the Pro 82 and K712 which have been my main cans for about a month now. They're both running off the FX Audio X6. Build quality: K712 wins, both are made out of plastic & some metal parts but the AKG's feel sturdier. For the price the Pro 82 has decent build...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I also ordered the X6, supposedly it's the best sub-100$ combo. However I ordered it for the AKG K712 since it will need a bit more power, while the Pro 82 is fairly easy to drive but scales decently. The only thing to note is that output impedance of the X6 is 10 Ohm, and the Pro 82 are 32 Ohm...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Pro 82s are a tier above the ISKs in basically every way including build quality, comfort, sound stage, instrument separation etc. I've used them both and it's a no-brainer.

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Yeah I have to agree that this thread is pointless to follow for me anymore. Criticism shouldn't be shot down, especially for a pair of headphones which will inevitably sound great/good/bad depending on someones personal preference, equipment etc. I was mainly still checking this thread out so...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Mine don't extend by themselves but they are really loose. Not a problem for now, and hopefully it doesn't get worse over time. They do sound a bit clinical and bright, but the soundstage and instrument separation is good and I like having a headphone like that especially for positioning and...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    After a bit more time with these I feel like they do get better when you get used to them. I remember the Pro 80's getting a lot of hype, and whilst they were good at the time I feel like the 82's are more deserving of that kind of hype at this price point.

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I unfortunately don't have either of those anymore, I sold the Shure's and the M50x were from a friend on a 3 month test period. If my memory is correct the M50x were a bit too hot in the treble. Soundstage was average. The Shure's were good but felt a bit too flat, also not the best build...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I got mine about 2 weeks ago from Shenzen Volemer for 63$, they came in a pouch with a lot of bubble wrap and were undamaged, 1.6m cable was included. I would normally just go with the Takstar store but I got my ISK HP2011 from Shenzen Volemer and both of my transactions went smoothly so no...

    MSUR N650 / N550 / N350 any experience?

    So is the B8 considered to be the best in terms of overall sound quality (between the B6, B7 and B8 models)? I've had Pro 80's, Somic MH463 and V2, currently on ISK hp2011 so I was wondering if the B8 are an upgrade over the HP2011's.

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    I'm tempted to buy MDH9000's, since I've been really impressed with the hp2011's which are sonically better than takstar or somic offerings I've tried. For the price they're amazing, but a bit bright/clinical so I was thinking the 9000s might be exactly what I need. From my understanding the...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    Got the HP2011's today, so gonna do a quick comparison vs Somic v2. It's a bit unfair since they don't have any burn-in, whilst the Somic have been used for a year.  So right off the bat, 2011's are brighter and more neutral whilst the V2's are warmer and more intimate.   Bass response is...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    Just ordered the isk hp2011's, was thinking either them or the mdh9000's. Saw a user do a comparison between the two of them and he said that the hp2011's were a bit more detailed and neutral, although mdh9000's are pretty close to them with a slightly deeper and boomier bass. They also...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

      Thanks, so the HP2011 uses the Takstar shell but I'm guessing the sound is different? I saw in another thread that the HP2011's are better than both 2050 and Pro 80's from Takstar which I used to have. Still not sure which one's to choose, hopefully someone can compare HP2011 to Yenona's and...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    Unfortunately I can't find them or any of the rebrands for the max. 50$ incl. shipping. They're around 65$ but I'm on a budget. How do the Yenona's compare to them in your opinion? I doubt there's many more options for that price in terms of clarity. Also they don't need to be bass heavy, I just...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    Can you guys recommend a new pair of headphones? I haven't kept up with chinese threads too much because I've been busy, but I'm looking for something new. So far I've had Takstar Pro80 and Somic V2 & MH463 (relatively similar sound).   Unfortunately as good as the Somic V2 sounds to me, the...

    The Somic Thread--50mm driver open air full size cans pop out of nowhere, sound amazing

    I'm running them through Xonar DG. I didn't mean the Pro 80 has literally no bass, I just didn't feel it had the oomph that the song asked for. Obviously the MH463 doesn't sound like a bass heavy headphone, it just delivers when it needs to. I should also mention that when the track does ask for...

    The Somic Thread--50mm driver open air full size cans pop out of nowhere, sound amazing

    Own both of them, MH463 is superior in every way. The first thing you notice on the first listen is the spacious sound stage and bass which the Pro 80 really lacks. Some people say it's flat and neutral but for me it felt like it was almost nonexistent compared to other cans I had. It actually...

    I've actually ordered the turtle beach x12 pads since they're a bit cheaper and everyone is recommending them for the MH463's.

    The CALs are worse in overall sound clarity, instrument separation and soundstage, but they do have nice lows with good bass extension and decent sub-bass as well. They also have a warmer sound signature like the Pro 80s.  The earcups are the same size fit wise, but the MH463 pads have a bigger...

    If you mean comfort wise the clamping force is almost unnoticeable and the pads don't get too hot, so you only have to swivel the cups so your ears don't touch the plastic grill. Sound wise I haven't really noticed any fatigue even after listening for a longer period of time. The sound is pretty...

    Review by 'weirdek' on item 'Somic HD MH463 Open-air Dynamic Pro Headphones (Black)'

    I've always looked into "budget-fi" since I've got more interested in proper headphones thus making me get the CALs, Takstar Pro 80s and now the Somic MH463. I will be doing some direct comparisons between the Pro 80s and MH463 since the CALs aren't really in the same ballpark in terms of sound...

    Somic vs Takstar, which one to choose?

    I already own the Gemini's, but needed something more open and with a straight cable so I've settled on the MH463 after some users compared the two directly.

    Somic vs Takstar, which one to choose?

    Hi, I currently own the Takstar Pro 80 but the pleather pads have basically scraped off and the coiled cable is a nuisance. I wanted to try a more open headphone and so far my choices are either the hi2050 or a somic headphone. Now the problem is that I don't know how the somics directly compare...
