Thank u so much for sharing! Super-informative! Just out of curiosity...... On a scale of 1 to 100 how would u rate the 580 prior to ur "thin-skin" mod and what is your rating after said mod?

REALLY??? Well thank u so much for the $35 u just saved me. I had literally just put a set of ingping takstar h60 in my eBay cart. Which iems did u own? Isn't it odd how a company can be so dead on with one model n so far off with another? I've encountered it with sennheiser, Sony, pretty much...

Yeah, I've never gotten into I'm either, but I've got a set of Beoplay H9i on the sellers forum n am trying to decide what to buy with my earnings. My hesitation on the pro82 was that they were closed. I've owned a ton of headphones n I really favor open back. Takstar hi2050, Grado 325i...

holy crap!?!? so the pro 82 is better than the 2050?!?!?!? im astonished. ever try any takstar iem like the ingping or hi1200 or ts2260?

did u ever have the hi-2050? if so, how would u compare these to the 2050?

i was so in love with the hi-2050. cant wait to try these out!!!!

Ahhh i gotcha. O well, Fah-kit, now i wanna see how much i can get the foam tips for, lol. Going to WuHan soon, need to strengthen my haggling muscle

The "savings prince" some guy on ebay, sells the entire esrbud set for 20. Sent a msg asking if he has any foam tips he vould sell, ill update u when he replies Link to mx270 eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=262239322804&alt=web

Was that a typo or did u mean mx275? I ask cuz km seeing lots of cx275s, see attached. Probaly best scenario would be to find an open box sale on ebay and offer 4 or 5 bucks for a pair of the spare tips

Its not under 20 but Its not under 20 but 1 of ebays featured deals of the day is igrado for 37.99 *OR BEST OFFER* 111 sold so you can try offering 20 bucks. In the words of princess zelda, touch link below http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161704235972&alt=web

Has anyone in this thread bought the xiaomi mi gold hifi over ear headphones? Always thought they look great but just found out they come with 3 different types of earcups. Curious if they sound good. Look a lot like grado SR-325i

See pic You just select ur free gift (white, black or red & blue) Then at checkout type the code 25ofmar in the discount/promo code box. You may wanna snag the brainwavz hm5 velour earpads with the 25% off too. Best replacement pads ive ever felt. Beyond comfortable. Heres the link, i ordered 3...

Not sure if anyone mentioned but mp4nation is giving free brainwavz omega iem with purchase of a brainwavz headphone amp n that stacks with a discount code for 25% off everything sitewide. So u get an amp n iem fof about $22.50. I think the discount code was 25ofmar but ill hafta check my email...

Yea that tends to be the case, like xiaomi with apple... its not like they figured out steve jobs secret, apple was paying them pennies to make oem yet sold it for hundreds of dollars till xiaomi said screw it, we can nake it then we can sell it and earn some money gor our sweat. Its a silly...

So yea... no. Not interested in doing the dance of the tards. Suffice it to say blind tests are possible but i dont feel the need to walk you thru it and they resulted in me selling my hd598 as it was pointless with hi2050 on hand. So if im biased im biased to the point of self-delusion and...

Hello, 1st time posting in this thread. Ive had the blue box takstar hi2050 for about 4 months now and it's my fav non-grado headphone and even won a blindfolded test performed by myself and a few coworkers against my sennheiser hd 598. It was a tough call for all but considering the price, the...

those are really amazing looking! Possibly best non-wood Mod I've seen. Bravo! If you ever wanna try something new, I can do a shade mod from pearl white to a dark eggshell/light khaki hue. I just need to borrow these for 6 months and chain smoke my camel filters. Seriously though, really...

I just found a set of akg k 240 sextett for under 40 bucks. Would this be a fair price? Seem pristine except for a little tape on the 6.35mm connector

You are correct there. Peanuts are better than nothing. Just as getting kicked in the balls is better than being castrated. But.... as you say, all bear the blame. Just different world views I guess. Some see the drug dealer as bad some see the user as bad, some see both as evil. I just want the...

Different philosophies my man. I know if some fat wallet wanted to pay me shillings to make a fine product in a sweat shop for 8 cents a unit and sell em for 200 bucks while my employees sleep in a barracks of 80 bunk beds to get by I'd likely say "fire up the machines, name the model "star...

I'll let you know later. A friend is coming over to do a blindfolded test. I have to say though, I'm blown away by the hi2050.

Any of you tried these? My mind is blown. 38 bucks at gearbest. Forget the se 598 flash sale. Truly shocked they can be this good

I'm with you... I may have had it rigged wrong but the e10k e11 and e12 all underwhelmed me. The e17 though, that really fulfilled my expectations at last. Dac + Amp, Simple, totally digital equalizer and powerful. As for hd598 vs hd650, of course the 650 is a slight improvement, but the cost...

Whoa! Shocking how that didn't get even a smirk outta me when read in my email but died laughing when I came here. A+ for visual aid. Can't believe that reference flew over my head. Anyways, for all of you reverse - racist whitie haters, here's a screenshot of my receipt. Anyone who has equally...

Nah... Vince Vaughn isn't here to take up for him. Ya can't be half a tough guy, nucky. Christopher walken on the otherhand... he'd ask if my mother can sew, then stab me in the face with a soldering iron and have Robert Wagner clean up the mess.
