I'm very happy with the new driver update! This feels really light.. Even lighter than my old HE-400 or the EL-8! more comfy too. And I've heard this is one of the heaviest headphones around. The sound.. wow.. Not to exaggerate much but really. Now that I've heard the Xs I'm now curious about...

Hi guys!   I just received my Linum Bax MMCX cable and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! The sound is a little more clearer now and because of this the soundstage and imaging now is more apparent. No more congested sound too. The bass now is more controlled, tighter and punchy. Now I'm able to hear it's...

Sorry to barge in.. I agree with the cable furring up what disappoints me the most is that I tried to sue the shirt clip for a while and the cable some how is losing connection after that in just a month of use. I guess they didn't use a much more durable cable. Using the shirt clip is NOT...

A battery extension instead of an adapter will also be appreciated..

Hi guys! I'm just wondering where do you actually buy this stuffs here in New Zealand? The only store I have seen with a little bit of gear is computerlounge. But the stock they have is few and limited. I'm looking for a store that really focuses on selling headfi stuffs.

Me too.. But damn mojo got hooked by new zealand customs! Still waiting for clearance!:persevere: Anyone here from new zealand?

Hmmm... That is weird coz mine definetly improved the bass and sound stage or even the imaging when the cotton is on. I've taken the cotton in and out multiple times to be certain.

Mine got these when I received them.. I'm just tired of returning another one that I decided to leave it alone. And I want to let you know the improvements the mod I've read here at headfi to whom I forgot already is quite effective! worked for me.. ;)

Congratz! you're definitely gonna love these! It's on par with my Angies..

Have you heard plusSound audio cables? I've had multiple cables from them and it is awesome! they had plenty of cable options -wires, connectors, styles and colors. Totally recommended..check it out! http://www.plussoundaudio.com/

I know! I too was shocked that part is plastic. I barely use this outdoors(jogging etc.) and never while lying in bed coz of the fear of breaking the part that holds the driver together! I only listen to this in front of the computer. Good luck with your El8!

Talking about trips. I just had a quick trip to my local shop and just noticed a minor crack on the headband that holds the driver. Hope this doesn't get worse because I paid $1200+ nz dollars including shipping and customs!! I like the sound it squeezes out tiny details and don't need it to be...

I agree. It's just unusual to me. I never had experienced that noise on any headphones before upon movement. I am just about to RMA this right at this moment. Well I guess that noise is normal? That's all I need to know. Tnx

Hi everyone! I've read someone having problems with a noise inside the driver (a sticky plasticky noise) upon movement. Anyone else having the same issue? Is that normal or do we need to be concerned about it?

I haven't tried an optical source yet to my mini-m8. If you have a toslink out from your source that would probably work for the mini. I am planning to buy those AKs but they are just too expensive.

I too was confused before because dx90 has an included coaxial cable. But unfortunately mini-m8's coaxial input is different and used a 3.5mm coaxial input instead. Fortunately that is compatible with the DX90. Problem is you also have to buy a mini to mini portable interconnects seperately.

You mean like this one? http://www.doublehelixcables.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=13

I don't know how some people are complaining about a hiss. They must have a super human sensory hearing! I just got my Angie and it sounds amazing with the mini-M8 specially when I use the balanced RSA port. You can hear a VERY SMALL amount of hiss in a VERY QUIET environment in the HIGHEST...

I'm using ALO SXC portable silver cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm)http://www.aloaudio.com/compact-sxc-22-mini-to-mini

Thanks! Is there any difference in SQ? I tried the balanced cable on Angie and it sounded more neutral but gave it a little more kick.

I just got my Angie. And I thought Angie is more fun to listen to but nope! JVC wins.. Angie truly is for reference very neutral sounding. Now one wonders what more with Layla? Still happy I've purchased Angie.

You might be right but that doesn't change the fact that it sounded good/great for the ones who think they are.

Wow! Same happened to me! After a month of listening this has finally opened up! It is now so accurate and sounds so good I couldn't believe it. It actually took that long to open up! Feel sorry for those who couldn't wait thou.

I can now imagine the FX850 might be a little bit sibilant on some songs and really fun sounding on some. If both has the same driver the bass could possible be the same amount.

I am planning to buy Layla but I heard that it sound too hifi is that true? So I might get Angie instead.
