Oh stop it....I just convinced myself to postpone the purchase but here we go again, damn you

Thanks. So no day and night difference in your experience, maybe I'd be better off spending this money on HP (eyeing with the iBasso SR3 as an addition/upgrade to my HD6xx) and keep the K7 instead which would be more noticeable difference than a DAC/Amp upgrade.

No comparison to the K7? At least @vsg28 didn't mention in the text, have you compared these or you no longer have the K7?

I'm still searching a worthy upgrade from my HD6xx (or addition to it) and my general media HD599 and I always end up with the SR3 which basically only has the headband adjustment (and durability) complaint but nothing against the sound and comfort, it would be an all rounder option so no...

Thanks for the replies, I'll sleep on it a bit but I might get it and do a blind test with the K7 to decide which one to keep.

Does it have active cooling? A fan would be bummer. Not good, I have the K7 and considering the K9 because it's "just" 2x more expensive but I really like that the K7 is really cool to touch, also the power adapter. I don't have AC so during the summer I would prefer a cooler device, I believe...

Yet, still nowhere to find, at least in my region. Does this also have that plastic heat trap shroud inside? Also, what's the price? Originally it was planned for 450 euros I believe. Thanks in advance :)

Wow thank you so much! So you are echoing what others said here and it’s an easy recommendation for many things including general media consumption . This is exactly what I am looking for, an addition to my HD6xx for genres which are requiring bigger soundstage and easy to listen and wear. Also...

Don’t take this the wrong way I’m not rushing you but what’s the review status? It’s been a while since you posted this and I don’t see it at TPU, thanks in advance

In my country it's not just IEM, anything that is touching hair, skin. It's really stupid, you can return pants but not a headphone :D But as I said, not sure if in practice they are indeed not doing it. Also interested why your experience was this, based on the K7 thread there are even more...

I've checked out its thread, very interesting and has a great price but the angled drivers requires precise placement, the cable is very long (not that big deal though) and the soundstage is a question mark because some said it's huge and some said barely more than the HD6xx series :D Also some...

I put the purchase on hold because indeed I rarely listen music because I'm active listener so no distractions and I listen 99% time full albums that's why I listen mostly weekends however because I got the Fiio K7 a week ago I listen albums daily because it's soo good, I just posted in its...

I'm also very happy with the K7 after the first week and my gut says to better keep it since AKM DACs are starting to be a rarity. Not sure if the K9 will be that much better but if the local price will be good then I might buy it and blind test it to decide which one to keep but the K9 will...

Thanks guys, it helped me and made the decision. Vacuuming the drivers sounds like trouble to me. One little vacuum cleaner like this would be nice to catch the spiders from the wall :D

I am browsing headphones but the problem that there is a huge price gap between most headphones. I have the HD599 for media watching and the HD6xx for music which I only listen at weekends (2-3 albums per week), also have an M50x as a first decent one but not using anymore. We have 300ish euros...

Agreed, specially because the product page is even mentioning the USB-B to C setup with mobile devices so the inclusion of that cable would save money (or annoyance rather) for us while for them a cable like that would be dirt cheap (ironically I have bunch of 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapters around but...

Thanks, it's just a regular USB cable apparently so any will do it. I was looking at this earlier but I need 1m but damn these cables are not cheap, C to C cables are half of the price or lower...

I literally unboxed the K7 an hour ago and I was bugging them about the K9 for a while and now it is coming :D But unfortunately I can't fully enjoy the K7 yet because it is not working with my Audioquest USB A to C adapter (don't judge, it was cheaper than any other brand when I bought) with...

I think I'll give up and just grab the K7 till it has stock and spend the difference on headphones (if I really want to spend my money). Component shortage is always the worst in Q1 so the K9 won't be out earlier than march I guess.

I know that it's annoying to see this question again and again but what's up with the K9? Why the delay? Is this a component shortage or the spec not finalized?

Yeah I almost jumped on the K7 until I've read few comments here not liking it with the HD6xx. I'm not on that tight budget, I just don't want to spend more than necessary to drive its (almost) full potentials of the HD6xx ( which I just use for my weekly 2-3 hours, I use a HD599 for...

Multiple people said that the K7 is not ideal for the HD6xx, probably I should look elsewhere. The K9 is probably going to be around 450 euros, that is as far as I would go unless the quality/ reliability of these are there but not that rare to see complaints about these, mostly Topping and...

The wait for the K9 feels like eternity so I am considering the K7 instead but some of you are saying that it's not good for the HD6xx which i have with a Magni 3 + DragonFly Red (I have no idea why I have this). I want all in one unit now so the K7 is tempting, would it make sense or should I...

Wow this is great, then it's worth to wait for it. Thank you :)

Is this still on schedule? Is this competitive price is closer to $499 or closer to $699?
