These headphones are simply outstanding and punch way above their price point. Excellent presentation box with magnetic flap, under a printed sleeve with a durable carrying case which is rare at headphones priced below $150. Comfortable headband, two well constructed cables and well-rounded...

Just use a pencil eraser end (or wooden chop stick) and reach in and tighten the loose bolts. Wiggle the ear cups slightly as you tighten them up. This will have to be done every month or so but it's not really a big deal IMO. Just a little preventive maintenance every so often. . .

Try MusicBee.  It's an excellent player with some attractive features.

Thanks for the MusicBee recommendation.  Very well-rounded software package.  It sounds great and the additional lyrics and artwork selection while online make it a really enjoyable music player.  Still playing with the many other included features.

Nah, that is a perfectly fine succinct depiction of the audio characteristics of the TH-X00.  ;}

As of late, I've been using the GOM audio player and it works well with some great features.  I've got several backup players such as Winamp, Foobar, AIMP2, etc., but for the most part it's GOM as a daily driver.

There's a new FREE audio player that I'm currently using called GOM audio player from GRETECH Corp.  So far, I'm fairly impressed especially with its natural sounding EQ and a varied set of interesting Effects that can be switched on/off (Reverb settings, Backwards music, Room emulations, Bass...

My Woox X2s had a very noticeable channel imbalance favoring the left side. But I loved the sound signature so much that I modified a variable in-line volume control to adjust the channel imbalance to the center.  That solved the immediate problem.   However, after extended play over the last...

ml What you want to use is Polishing Compound not wax. Use a moist soft cloth and rub gently especially around the logo. Mine took 3 to 4 applications to remove the bubble wrap marks.

After multiple attempts at tracking this package I was finally successful.  The package is supposed to arrive tomorrow August 19th.  We'll see. . .

I received Massdrop's shipping notice on August 10 it's now the 18th and still waiting. . .  The tracking number supplied comes up with an error on the DHL website.  This sux!  Use another postal service Massdrop!

Likewise!  The long wait is about to be over.  C'mon Purpleheart come to pappa.

My Woox X2 pads have no glue and adhere to the cups very well. 

Another satisfied Swans M50W owner, here.  These speakers look and sound awesome.  Very accurate and life-like in bass, mids and treble frequencies.  Fantastic price/performance ratio. Unfortunately my headphones are starting to feel a bit neglected, the M50W's are that good!  I recently...

I just noticed a high frequency hum out of the HO jack when paused or in quiet low volume passages.  Because I usually pair the X5 with a Cayin C5 amp I never noticed this problem before.  Fortunately the LO works well and the sound is nice and black while paused.  Has anyone else experienced...

Ditto Craig!

Yes, the replaceable cables on the FX850 is a marvelous feature.  My original cables became intermittent after a years worth of use/abuse.  I ordered some Moon Audio cables, popped off the old cables and now their back in service.  The Moon Audio Silver Dragon cables sound great but they are...

I was seriously going for the TH-610 but the massdrop TH-X00 Purplehearts look just too lovely to ignore.  The only downside is there are not expected to ship till August.  My Philips X2's will certainly hold my attention till then.  Looking forward to comparing the sound signature of these two hps.

 Thanks, Lescanadiens.  I ordered the Moon Audio cables for $225.00

After a year of daily use/abuse at work the right side MMCX cable connection on my FX-850 has become intermittent where the cable meets the connector.  Does anybody have any recommended upgrade replacements?

I'm really looking forward to acquiring these Fostex TH-610's especially having missed out on the latest Massdrop of the TH-00X because of some debit card snafu.  Sometimes things work out for the best.   The detachable cables on the TH-610, though rather large, is a big plus IMO.  The matte...

After painstakingly removing the left side driver and attempting to disconnect the cups from the glued plastic pivot posts, I finally gave up scraping off glue bits and just re-tightened the screws with a pair of tweezers from the outside.  Now that I'm aware of the problem, I'll just check...

Thanks very much, thesmokingman!  I'll have to give your suggestion a try to fix the loose screws.  What kind of mods are you doing to the X2?
