I got my Utopia repaired recently. Is it normal that the freight costs are charged to me even though the product is still in warranty? Normally it's all fine and all except I live in the Philippines so the distributor had to import from France, return the defective driver there, and they're...

So after having not used my Utopia for a couple of weeks, the right channel seems to have died on me. :-( It is still on warranty and yes, I've already reached out to the dealer about it and just waiting for their response I was hoping the issue will autocorrect within the day so I don't have...

Looking to sell my Audio-Technica ATH MSR7se The reason its condition is "fair" and not good is that there are some small flaking in the pads and headband padding which are shown in the pics. Outside of that, it's practically new having been used for less than roughly 10 hours. Includes pretty...

Still available?

So 2 years and counting and the problem has worsened. The workaround has evolved into me putting a small piece of paper just slightly outside of the hole on the left earcup before plugging in the cable forcefully. It kinda solves the problem but it's annoying to have to do this plenty of times...

That sucks then. I don't know if I'm equipped to do the same but this does take away from an otherwise good sounding headphone.

I'm having a problem with my Sine where the left channel audio is getting cut off. It can be easily fixed by fidgeting the connector and moving it around but i realized it's not the actual connector that is the problem as I flipped the cable, put the left plug in the right one and vice versa...

Yeah I live in Philippines so that might be a stretch. Maybe I can just do a DIY headband to house the cups. Oh well, let's see

The swivel joint broke for me too :-( It's the headphone's 6th year with me so while I've had tens of thousands of hours spent with it, I'm still sad to see it finally broke. I wonder if there's anything that can still be done though? Don't really want to purchase a new one so I'd rather find a...

Great coverage!    I know it's a stupid (and lazy) question but does the fall edition happen during October (or even during the same dates)? The reason is I'm looking forward to go there on next year's fall and want to buy my airfare tickets in advanced so I can save lotsa money. :p

I was just curious. Are there physical differences (specifically in the earcups) between the 32, 250 and 600 ohm versions of this headphone?

Love my ESW9. If I have one minor nitpick, it's that the swiveling is too stiff compared to almost all other headphones. Has anyone done anything to make the swiveling smoother or less stiff?  

Does anyone have an experience with using the JDS Labs O2 amp with the 600 ohm version of DT880? Will it drive the headphone just fine? I know Nwavguy said that the amp will drive any 600 ohm headphones just fine but I was just wondering anyway.   Thanks in advanced.

So how would you say does the DT880 differ from a Grado headphone like say the higher SRs or ever the RS versions? Both have kinda the same tonality but for those who have owned both, how are they different from each other sound-wise?

The headphone looks really really attractive to me. I find it weird that it's a planar since it looks to be a portable headphone. And I don't think I've seen a planar that is driven out of portables (well maybe HE-400).

I have a quick question. I'm looking for the DT 880 250 ohm and would be amping them with Littledot mk2 or mk3 tube amp. Would that warm up the mids a bit? Based on some feedback the mids here have a tendency to be bland which I kinda don't want. I also have the DT1350 and while it's a good all...

Thanks. I have a JDS Labs O2 to power but I'm also getting a Hifiman EF-2A tube amp.   I like a fast-sounding headphone and while DT 880 seems to fit that description more, I'm worried that the midrange might sound cold or not resolving. I also don't like it to sound too thin and lean but if a...

Would this amp be able to drive say HE-400 effortlessly? I thought this was made He-400 but realized this was created way earlier than HE-400. :p

I'm sort of looking at this headphone really closely and my other option is the Beyerdynamic DT 880 (250 ohm). I read that the DT880 is a fast-sounding headphone which I like but I'm quite worried about it overly lacking warmth on the midrange/upper bass. On the other hand, the HE-400 I heard is...

I'm very interested with the 560 as well. The headband reminds me of the ones in Abyss but the Hifimans are less ugly than theirs I guess.

Does anyone of you both have the ESW9 and MDR-1R? I actually have and their signature seems very close to each other. Well, maybe not but I find them musical and good sounding as a whole. Both have not so good passive noise isolation either though.   Just mentioning to see if those who have...

I've heard CAL for just a short period of time and I think it has fuller bass and midrange than the MOE. The MOE has very good bass but I didn't find the quantity satisfying enough but that's maybe just me. MOE has a recessed midrange too relative to its bass and treble. Treble is sparklier and...

Thanks! But I suppose I would need an amp to make it sound even better? What amp would you suggest then if that's the case?   As for HF5, I'm not sure if I've heard the best of it yet. I only have the glider tips and currently using it. I wonder if the triple flange or foam tips would make it...
