Is this the same item, but cheaper? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32783590564.html

Excited about the headband upgrade. I wonder if there are any other differences, tuning maybe?

It says they even support LDAC, that's pretty cool.

They've sold out, possibly waiting on stock

I appreciate both Solar1971 and Cruelhand Luke's opinions, thanks for sharing.

What are your initial sound impressions?

I ended up returning them, bought through Amazon AU

Nar, I didn't do a phase check, is that a common fault with these? It didn't sound like it was out of phase, not weird like that. Just listening closely trying to study what it was about these I didn't like it was like the driver had no redeeming features. The grain on the upper range on top of...

Just to add balance to the conversation on the ZX1 I thought it was one of the worse headphones I've heard. Maybe I got a dud, but the midrange was sucked out, treble was grainy and the bass was flabby. They are light but they also feel like any movements and they will fall off your head. Also...

Not that I've noticed.

And a pad change versus the original older version.

Excellent, thank you

Awesome work Firschi! Are you able to tell me the pin outs of this? I'm planning to do an Audeze balanced cable myself soon.

Thanks Th3Drizzl3, really appreciate the offer but i might have to skip this one unfortunately

Damn, I wish I could grab a couple of headbands but can't justify the $109USD shipping :(

And these as well from the same seller...

Anyone else put off by the aethetic? I do like the look of the Kinera Seed though.

Takstar HF 580's net weight is 550g. Damn.

If you friend only wants to spend $30 on a gaming headset (which is silly imo) why not get the Monoprice Retros and a lapel mic? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=16150 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC2.A0.H0.Xlapel+mic.TRS1&_nkw=lapel+mic&_sacat=0

I put a about an inch of heatshrink on the end of the wires. Then cut it off when it's made it's way through.

Moving away from onboard audio is going to be a great way to improve sound. Spec wise this DAC/Amp looks pretty good, although it doesn't specify what output mw this thing puts out and I can't find any independant reviews. Could something like this suit...

Would something like this work...
