Thanks, bro. Will give these a crack. New Zealand in summer is usually 90% humidity or more.

Yep, cleaned all that out.

I'm a long-term lover of the SE-846. Unfortunately today the left earphone decided it was going to become 99% quieter than the right. I have to really crank the source to even get a bit of (mid-focused) music coming through. Right earbud is fine. Have tried different sources, different cable...

I used them for very amateur mixing and mastering at home. I wouldn't recommend either. They're a long way from flat/neutral. I think the HD-800 is the best of the three for that purpose, as it's extraordinarily revealing and you'll likely put in a little extra sub-bass in the mix to compensate...

Hi all. I've loved my old SE-846s for many years and used the hell out of them. Unfortunately today the left earphone dropped 99% of its volume. Changed sources, cables, filters, same issue. Switched left and right sides of the cable and the left earphone still is extremely quiet (i.e. problem...

I had the K-812 and HD-800S (as well as earlier having an HD-800). HD-800S has a lot more sub- and mid-bass than either of the other two, but lacks a bit of the sparkle up top. Bass response in the HD-800 is a bit tighter/cleaner than than the K-812. Both K-812 and HD-800 have treble spikes, for...

I know that I wasn't particularly glowing in my review, but I really miss the Audivina now that it has left... Enjoy to those who still have it!

Can someone give me the TLDR on Stealth magnets?

Also, has anyone put the Audivina on a measuring rig? I'd be keen to see if the lower-mid dip is as massive as my ears perceived it to be. EDIT: whoops, didn't see the above post from @Jaytiss . Yeah, that tracks with what I heard.

My two weeks with the Audivina have come to an end. Thanks to April and the team at HIFIMAN; it has been a pleasure, as always. No other reviews were read prior to listening impressions being recorded. Most of my listening was done with an iBasso DX90 DAP. Alternative sources were a Cambridge...

I can see where people are coming from with the criticism of the out-of-the-box sound. But honestly, I think they're a couple of small tweaks away from being excellent.

Well, my last full-sized headphone from HiFiMAN was the Ananda. The Audivina is very different.

I've also just got my hands on it. Really not what I was expecting, but a pleasant surprise in most respects. Full review to follow!

Hello! Joining the loaner tour thanks to a gentle inquiry from the good folk at HiFiMAN. I'm in New Zealand and can't wait to have a listen.

Broke the cable on my 64 Audio U10. Need a replacement. 2-pin, non-recessed. Single-end 3.5mm end only please. Alternatively, any recommendations for a new aftermarket cable?

Any interest in selling the spare cable by itself? Cheers.

Would need two extremely sharp punches of exactly the right diameter... And material soft enough to be cut easily but strong enough to hold its shape for the second cut...

The one the nuts screw down against. Any of the commercially available ones are far too fat, would result in the nut sitting a long way off the body. There may well be some appropriate ones out there, but not that anyone in NZ will sell me.

Yep, just an O-ring. But much smaller than any I can buy here in NZ. Need to get some calipers to measure exactly, but the width would be <1mm. Even the specialist manufacturers are muttering about whether they can make them.

The nozzle interface seals on my SE846 have finally worn away to nothing. I'm unsurprisingly having issues with bass. I've emailed Shure, but I understand the seals aren't user-replacable. This is going to be even more of the issue once production of the SE846 finishes. I have also contacted a...

I loved my RE2000 Silver, but a more even upper-midrange response wouldn't hurt... Fingers crossed!

Interested! 1) Whangarei, New Zealand. 2) Have done formal reviews for Cayin, Meze and Hifiman in the past, for headphones, IEMs and DAPs. All available here on Head-Fi. Also have down a few informal reviews of products I have owned myself. 3) My regular portable setup is straight out of my...

Gidday, could I get a rough idea of shipping cost for the 6.5mm cable to NZ?
