I've been listening to the r70x for two days now, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the headphone in comparison to the HD650. Build wise, I thing they are wonderful - light, yet sturdy and well designed. I have a fairly large head, and find myself pushing the two wings right to the...

Just recieved a used R70X and have been listening to it for a couple of hours. I must confess that I find them to be a fairly dark sounding headphone. Excellent bass extension and some warmth, very neutral midrange, and a fairly subdued treble response. To my ears, there seems to be a...

Congrats on your new headphone! I find the HD6 series to be underrated for classical - despite their relative shorrtcomings in the soundstage and imaging departments, their natural tonality and resolution more than make up for it. I still consider the HD800 to still be the holy grail of...

Hello all! I am lucky enough to have my friend's lcd-x over for a little bit of time. I'm looking forward to some critical listening, and especially some comparisons with my lcd-2! First impressions are... well... impressive :) Just something I am noticing that i wonder if anyone else has...

Have to agree with you that the SE output is really quite lacking. I am using them balanced, which is more than enough power to drive the 800's, but the sound is noticeably softer and warmer. Definitely makes the 800's much more tolerable over long listening sessions, but definitely not...

Been a pleasure going through the thread. Has anyone heard the 788 with HD800's? I was curious since I've seen comments that the synergy between the massdrop 789 and the 800's weren't great. I currently have the 800's with the massdrop lcx, and the sound is relatively smooth and warm to my...

Thanks, I've heard good things about both. Both are apparently a little more intimate with more bass? Would anyone be kind enough to elaborate?

Currently burning in my GS1000i's and I'm impressed with everything I'm hearing. This got me wondering: What would be another Grado model that would complement the GS1000i's sound signature?

Thank you. Cannot say I wasn't surprised to find you much preferred the 1000i's to the 1000e's considering they are supposedly a revision of the i's

What are everyone's thoughts between the GS1000i and 1000e in terms of pure detail and transparency? I can get the 1000i's for around 300usd cheaper, is that a better deal? (plus the more vintage/classy look of the 1000i is one I actually prefer :) )

Just got myself a pair of IE800's and my oh my are they breath-taking. The detail is pretty amazing, soundstage mesmerising, and the bass is spot on. However, the treble was a little too much for my tastes. I wonder of they'll calm down a little with some burn in...

Thank you! With the IE-800S out now, the old model's prices here in HK are at new lows. Really tempeted to pull the trigger :)

Thank you all for the information provided on this thread! Really helping me with my research. There seem to be varying descriptions of the IE800's sound. Some say it's neutral, some say it's very bass heavy and v-shaped. Some say mids are slightly recessed while other say there is a W...

Thanks for the clarification. Apologies I did not know about the ban.

Just got the **** Z&W's and wow... these are pretty great even without much burn-in. Similar signature to the Monk+ but much more detail and dynamics. Compared to the Tomahawks, these are still very detailed and makes the Tomahawks sound a little thin, very happy and well worth the 39USD price...

I currently own the monk + (standard and espresso), the Ollivan K300, and the Tomahawks, and I need some advice on my next purchase. I've narrowed it down to: Auglamour Rx-1 **** Z&W NICEHCK EB200 Qian 39 Qian 25 Any help is much appreciated! And happy listening to all! :)

Thanks! Would you compare them favourably to the VE Monks?

Thanks for your info! I'm very interested in the **** Z&W, could you perhaps further describe their sound sig? :)

Hmmmm... found them on aliexpress with very positive reviews, still rather sceptical though.

Is there a significant change in sound in the ZS5 when I use the silver cable compared to the stock?

Haha the two day shipping was worth it :)

Can anyone comment on the B3 Pro 1 vs the KZ line of earphones? I currently own the KZ ZS3's and am wondering whether the B3 would be a good addition. :)

Thanks, but I'm pretty satisfied with the sound now :) wondering if I should now get the ZST, heard some great (and bad) things about them.
