@Paul - iBasso - my dx160 went dead. Didn’t drop it or break it. It just won’t turn on. I emailed service@ibasso.com with no answer. This is really disappointing for such a new device. Please advise how to get this replaced by warranty ASAP. I live in the US. Thank you!

Yeah definitely nothing to worry about. Etymotic are truly trustworthy

Porcupine tree were one of my favorites back in high school! I should relisten, it’s been quite a while since I have.

Mine arrived with no name. My old amp blasted audio through them, some bug - very loud but short. So I sent them back to be tested, to see the drivers are fine. Etymmotic tested them and sent them back, tested normal. So from my experience retesting the missing signature meant nothing

On a different topic - are er4xr (and the rest of Etys line) right/left specific? Or would it be fine to switch right to left when changing cables? I don’t mean switching channels. Just changing drivers compared to what is marked at the testing sheet. They’re all identical right? (Unlike shure...

@ClieOS used to make great cables for etys with stable connections. Unfortunately not anymore... Just bought a cable from lunashops. It’s just fine but the connection is a bit flimsy (the Ety mmcx bump isn’t pronounced). Does anybody know of a good provider for cables for Etys? A bit afraid...

Do any of you feel that the power button (when with the tpu case) feels mushy? Doesn’t really click but works?

Oh wait, so the r5 doesn’t allow for root access? I hope hiby turns MSEB into a systemwide feature. The hiby r3 can do that

So just to confirm, MSEB doesn’t work system wide? Are there other apps that are a good EQ and work systemwide?

Purely subjective differences noticed. They do sound noticeably different for me though, in the ways I described. This could have to do with the source being louder to compensate for the resistor. Even though it’s a chord mojo, I wonder if it should influence the sounds in different volumes...

Recently I bought an er4p-s adapter (75ohm adapter. I now use it with the re600 and find that it makes them perfect for me. The er4sr are still preferred for classical music, but now with this adapter I find the re600 to compliment some recordings more. Before I found them too soft, and not airy...

I did see a couple, but none of them seem to specifically promise both sides being balanced. hellodigi M2F3 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Female Balanced Audio Adapter—Headphones Adapter, Audio Connector Plug Gold Plated for Car Mp3 Audio Device Earphones (Copper-Platinum)...

Hi All, I am on the lookout for a 2.5 Balanced Male to 3.5 Balanced Female adapter. I just purchased the Hifiman re-600 V2 (balanced version) and the Hiby r3 player. Unfortunately the RE-600 terminates in a 3.5 balanced connection - which isn't the industry standard! I can't find a good adapter...

I'd love to hear more people elaborate about the differences between the two

I guess I'll just have to enjoy my new RE-400, as long as I don't know what I missed out on there's not reason to be sad.

I just bought hifiman's re-400 for 100$, I feel kinda silly not buying TDK ba200 for 120$ (they're on sale on amazon). Sound-wise I've read the tdk is considered better overall, considering soundstage especially   Thing is, I can't get a refund, I'm from abroad.But I do want to contemplate...

Quote: i know this is probably old, but the pictures are missing... I'm thinking about doing this to my own headphones and would like to see how it looks! If you could re upload the pics..   Thanks!

I tried these in Holland, they were used to act as speakers for a Nord Stage put on display in a store there. They were quite good!

very informative.

Any comparison to the Kicas caliente+k701? I'd be interested to know.

Thanks for the great review skylab. At last, a real full size review that's readable, not just fan comments raving about these like maniacs. hat happened to your kicas? Don't you have it anymore?

I never understood why most high end headphones are made and sold by big companies, while amplifiers are made by significantly smaller companies? Anyone ever thought of that?

I'd say the k701 and 650 sound respectively more natural than one another with different music.

Take into account nobody really tried them both before reccomending. Wait for other responses.
