Are the replacement pads availablefor purchase yet?

Funny conversation...My wife is just happy that this hobby is far more economical than mechanical watches.

Using the Oppo HA-2 with an Ipod touch 5G as a source when travelling. Super clean with zero noise with the X2s. Seems to clean up some graininess in the treble and have yet to experience that Sabre glare when using the X2s. Although meant for my portable setup, I tend to use it with the X2's...

They sound really nice with th Oppo HA-2...Just syain :)

Sorry bud, worded that poorly. Got them shipped from Oppo on Thursday. My fault for the confusion.

Just picked up the Oppo HA-2 to primarily use for travel, but using it quite a bit at home. Sounds phenomenal with the X2s and using Touch 5th Gen as the source.

Nothing quite like the pleasant surprise of finding a small box in the mailbox after the disappointment of seeing nothing at the front of the front door while pulling up in the driveway. Beautiful piece of gear and the charging indicators look nice. The waiting game sucks while watching it...

Placed my order on March 15th and got my notification its in the mail on the 23rd. Better get that order in now to have it in queue for the next shipment. :)

Just got my e-mail that my HA-2 is en-route, and originally planned on using them primarily with my B&W P7s for travel but all the talk of the PM-3s in the forum has me second guessing my intended setup. These are looking very enticing. Does someone have any experience with the P7s and can...

From all the ink bleed discussion, I placed some blotter paper between the pads and the headphone stand for the last several days. Not for health concerns, but rather concerns that I wear collared shirts for work and occasionally have them resting around my neck. No ink bleed to be found. Just...

Ordered mine off Oppodigital while they were on back order with an estimated availability date of 3/20, checked in today and they are hoping to get them in stock by early next week. Looks like another week of waiting. :(

Anyone try the new Oppo HA-2 with the P7s?

Has anyone paired this with either the Philips Fidelio X2s or B&W P7s? Impressions?

Congrats and can't beat that price.

Better person than me...I couldn't bear the thought of dealing with a noticeably defective pair albeit with a Mcguyver'd fix. Would have packaged them right back up.

Holding you to that bud :)

Good point

Not sure I understand why Sony makes an IOS compatible device and doesn't come with a lightning connector, but still stoked about hearing some impressions on this sleek looking piece of gear :)

+1... The ear cups of the P7s are actually deeper than the X2s, but you sacrifice a bit of width with the P7s. Also any contact with the inner opening will be more pronounced and noticable with the P7s since they are fairly firm and not memory foam. Comfort wise, I also typically find the need...

Hey Acap, there is a short thread comparing the X2, P7 and Focal Spirit and the impressions provided are generally inline with my own so definitely worth a gander. In terms of treble, the P7s get a slight upper hand in my opinion as the there is a very slight grittiness to the X2s. It's not...

Thanks Malcuso. Compared to the other portable units I have been eying for the past month or so, the HP P1 seems to be the most appealing. I appreciate the feedback and will definitely post some impressions with my beloved X2s if or more likely when I pull the trigger :)

Thanks for the detailed response. I have always heard that the P7s scale well and had hopes that the HP P1 would make a noticeable difference for all around use both at home and on the go. Might still consider pulling the trigger more for my X2s because my issue is a little grit in the upmost...

I own both, but gave my wife the M100s recently to rationalize picking up the X2s. I actually prefer the bass response of the M100s over that of the P7, but I feel P7s really outshine the M100s in all other areas. Among them, the one that really stands out to me is the soundstage. After spending...

Does anyone have experience with using either the B&W P7 or Philips Fidelio X2 with the HP-P1? Impressions and or thoughts? Looking for a portable Amp DAC to use with my I-Pod touch 5th gen when on the road.

No imbalance issues here, but the 3m cable and management clip provided just doesn't work for me. What cables did you guys use? And what tonal changes were noticed?
