Shameless plug: My WOOX pre-gluegate X2's now listed FS. Go buy...

Has anyone had any issue with plugging in the mini usb's on the back? It seems like they don't line up, or something. It's very tricky and I even feel I might break it. :/

Oh yeah, tubes! I am afraid to even think about getting into tubes. lol

Synergy is tricky, definitely. When you combine all the variables of amps, dac's, cables, file types, etc. with the inherent subjectivity of human hearing and personal preference, it's a wonder we're not all crazy. Or wait, maybe we are. 

Thought I'd share something, and I'm not sure *why* it's working...   I have an older woox pair and loved them out of an iPhone 5s ("warm air" is how I thought of it). But that phone died, and an iPhone 6s is just not delivering the same euphoria. Weird.    I bought Massdrop's O2/ODAC and...

I loved the X2 coming straight out of my iPhone 5s. I thought it truly sounded great. (I always thought of it as "warm air" - very nice.) And even though it sounded better from my DAC/amp, I thoroughly enjoyed all kinds of music from 5s/X2 combination.    But I've recently upgraded my phone to...

  Yeah, it's kind of my 'loudness' button. But I tend to leave it on all the time. 

My "Default 400i" eq setting...         I think I might be a basshead. 

  I meant the 'phones.    I don't think my head's big, I wear 7 3/8 hat (US). Maybe I just got a snug pair. 

  Wanna trade? 

  This has not been my experience. While the 770's rest comfortably (lightly hugging my head), the 1770's are squeezing tight (uncomfortable so). Not exaggerating.    Hope they relax, or can be stretched.   After the bass imbalance, I'm up to two strikes with these...

  The thing is, they didn't seem to start that way and I only heard it once they'd "burned in" gently for awhile. I've gotten out of the habit of running test tones (you always seem to find something wrong), but only do a test once actual listening uncovers a possible issue. 

    I may have to do an exchange. These things really are fantastic. 

  Yeah, I really like them otherwise. Really really.   Maybe I'll try again. (Sorry, Amazon)

  Got these Friday. Short review: driver mismatch.   30hz to around 200hz sits defiantly over to the left. Going back. 

Got crazy this afternoon... DT-1770 on the way!  

Do we know if they'll release different impedance versions in the future? I have the 770 32ohm and think it's great (if weird) out of an iPhone -- wonder if there will be a 32ohm 1770 soon/ever.

  Curious about any comparisons you might have between the two new Beyers. I haven't seen anyone else yet who has them both. 

  Honestly, when I first got the 400i I wanted it to be 'bassier'. But now I've really come around to what they do (esp. with the Polaris). I find the bass to be complete and decently textured. I wouldn't say the subbass is slamming, but confidently present when called upon. When using the...

  Well, there really isn't much to see as I've found the two units don't really stack. The M2U has a much smaller footprint, and you can't really put anything on top of the Polaris. Mine just sit side by side. (Or actually amp in front dac in the back.)   It seems like I've seen some small...

  +1   Would like to hear comparisons of these, especially T1 v2. 

  I use the Polaris with the Modi 2 Uber, and with great results I'd say. I was using Polaris straight from a MacBook Pro, which was actually already great, but Modi 2 Uber was perceptibly better (to my ears). Low end seemed tighter, the highs seem to have more 'authority' while being smoother...
