I recently received my Aful Performer5 and upon inspection, I noticed that inside the nozzles, the metal tube protrudes more on one side than the other. On one side, the metal tube sits mostly flush with the surrounding plastic, while on the other side, it protrudes quite a bit (maybe ~1.5mm...

Oh ok, Thanks! How about for a T50? Would you know roughly what a fair price would be for one? I've seen one go for ~$900 a few years ago, wondering if I should pounce on one if I ever see another one at a similar price. (Was in decent used condition w/ original hardcase)

Fair price? Does this come up often? NAD RP18 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/295372701379?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ffdkvjISQ3u&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=y4u2oW2LTvK&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I'm assuming an original Fostex T50 (v0,v1,v2) would be more expensive nowadays? How much...

NiceHCK EB2S with full foams may be to your liking. It's probably my favorite out of the twenty or so buds I've gotten recently. It doesn't have the most bass nor aggressive highs. But it places vocals front and center, both in tuning and soundstage-wise imho, kinda like my hd650s. However, it...

oh nice, I'd be interested in hearing an update once you get to try them :)

Are these Qian69 genuine? I thought they were discontinued? https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKjlW3Y

Did you get a chance to listen to the Nicehck B70? How are they, vs B40 or EB2S?

Two questions as an earbud newb: 1. Does housing/shell plastic choice matter for sound quality on Faaeal's earbuds? Ex. solid black vs. transparent grey versions of the Faaeal Iris 2.0 2. Does the 2022 nicehck traceless (purple/green) sound any different from the previous traceless red&blue...

The blues are 554, blacks are 556

Huh? Did they just just double their prices? $272USD now 👀

Niiice, I'm interested as well depending on price

Does using a wire instead of batteries get rid of the humming sound?

Are there any stores in Japan that have these available to demo? I've only seen the large earspeakers out on display in places like yodobashi on my last trip about two years ago. Any changes? Have been pretty curious about these.

I would love to be part of the HE6se loaner tour. I'm in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I've heard and enjoyed many HIFIMAN headphones like the Susvara, 1000s, edition X, etc and would like to see how the HE6se fits in. And the reason why I have my CK²III amp of because of claims that it could drive the...

I'm interested in being in the loaner tour, I'm located in the city of Vancouver, province: British Columbia, country: Canada. I'd love to compare the system to the Stax L300 system I have.

has an estimated price been posted anywhere yet? I'm also very interested in this

the 007mk2 has a much darker sound than both the L700s and 009s

Hey guys, please share any impressions and updates about this exciting upcoming portable STAX driver! (I don't feel like searching through all the STAX forums in the future for this info :confounded:, just so it's all in one place).

I personally found the 407s to be the most "shouty" of the X07 series, which to me is a brash/harsh sound possibly attributed to the rise at 1khz that all lambdas seem to have. but more so here. It makes female vocals feel too close, almost in your head kind of sound. the 407 has more highs &...

@Thenewguy007 What modestly priced headphones are you referring to?

@ahZak mrspeakers acknowledged earlier that some cables were labeled improperly: Also since the headband is installed backwards you can simply unscrew it, flip it around and reinstall it. what makes you think "speaker is in the opposite position"? what does that even mean?

I'm in/was in a bit if the same situation. My replacement is also about 50 hours in. And there is a harshness I don't remember hearing in songs before with the last pair. I was pretty put off so I stopped listening to them for a week. I just got back to listening to them yesterday (shrillness...

I find that if I change speakers presets a few times (5-10 times) quickly before switching back to my normal setting, this be usually solves the "crackling" issue. Also, restarting whatever program's playing the audio sometimes helps
