    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Well yesterday my old Pro 80 clone blew out so I will be ordering the Pro 82 from amazon soon. I had tried to order months ago with other sellers, but they always refused payment so it's a good thing amazon is selling them now.

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    As an owner of a pro 80 clone I thought about ordering a pro 82, but Newegg doesn't sell them so I tried Aliexpress but they won't let me order at all without sending in a whole bunch of info such as ID card scan and other stuff. Is there some other retailer that sells the Pro 82 online that...

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    I think capacitive buttons would work better as getting touch gestures to work correctly all the time is very hard to do software wise. It's honestly what I thought the headphone used until looking into it more closely. Hardware buttons also just tend to be faster and I enjoy being able to get...

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    After handling a Sony MDR 1000x, I kind of question the move to touch controls. I see how it makes the headphones look nicer but many people in the real world find them to be a pain. That's just my 2 cents though.

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I am talking about the Gemini HSR-1000. It looks about the same, only the branding is different. I paid $45 for them about two years ago and I think they sound better than anything I have heard under $150. I think the main thing I worry about with the Pro 82 is dealing with a retailer I have...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I just wonder how much of an upgrade the Pro 82 is over the Pro 80, because I have a Pro 80 clone that while I really like it I also want something that can best it. It the Pro 82 worth getting over stuff like the Sony MDR-1A and Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7?

    Biggest Disappointment Headphone

    The Monoprice M560 is my biggest disappointment and they are the hardest headphones on this earth to return. The brand sucks as I got a $20 pair of in ears returned and then sent back to me in the amount of time it's taken to deal with the mess that is Monoprice though E-mail.

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Monoprice has at last sent an Email and so now the long wait shall likely start once more between Monoprice and Newegg's 3-7 business day thing trying to resolve the issue. So I have learned to not ever use a 3rd party seller for costly stuff, always knew it wasn't smart but now I personally...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I am kind of a noob so you could be right about just liking dynamic better. I have liked the Gemini HSR-1000 I have better than just about everything I have tried in stores. Mostly because beats and the Bluetooth Sony's have bloomy bleeding bass. To try one more time for an upgrade I have been...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    With the lack of a response I have had from Monoprice, I honestly don't think a replacement is even a option I want to deal with. I don't really trust this brand to make good on the product they are selling at this point. I have gotten much quicker and better customer service on a pair of $20 in...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Because my $45 Pro 80 clone sounds better than it does overall simply because the bass doesn't exist without very heavy EQ and then it screws everything up. Have no idea if the set is defective or not, don't really care at this point as I just want my refund and I will try something else like...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Well now I need to wait 3-7 business days for Newegg to get a hold of the seller and try to resolve the issue. Meanwhile I am stuck with a pair of headphones that are a massive disappointment. First time I ever needed to return something on Newegg and it's become a real pain because of the...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    There were two advantages, one I already had a Newegg account and also I get %5 cash back with one of my CC there. Monoprice was still the seller, but the transaction was handled though a Newegg account. If I thought it was going to be such an issue I would have used my Amex to order directly...

    Takstar Pro 82 VS Fostex T40RP MK3 VS Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7BK

    I have a Takstar Pro 80 clone that works well, but I am looking for a upgrade. I made a choice on my own and wasn't happy with it in the slightest so this time I seeking options under $200, under $150 would likely be better though that are over the ear headphones. I am looking for detail, but...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I have been trying for nearly a week to get monoprice to allow me a return for a refund. I will call Newegg and if they won't allow it then it's going to be a chargeback. In any case I shall avoid them as a brand from this point on. It's a nice case of here's our nice on paper return process...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I haven't owned that many but yeah I could see it being fairly low on the list. If it had a little more power I might say it's good for some kinds of music but not other's but it's so weak on bass that it's truly limited in what it's good at. For $200 that just shouldn't happen. I will say that...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I think it's highly likely now that I have the M560 that it will be sent packing. When people said the bass was lacking they weren't kidding and should have dragged it though the mud even more than the reviews I read/saw. I can't even believe that they designed it this way as even with EQ...

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I ordered a new M560 as it's the lowest cost planar driven headphone on the market at the moment. I have never spend more than $50 much less the effective $190 on this set of headphones. So far with on the ear/over the ear I only have used a beats set I got as a gift and a Gemini HSR-1000 that...

    Replacement for Carbo Tenore? RE400?

    I have a Carbo Tenore like the OP and thought about getting the 1more Triple Driver but I worry about putting $100 into an in ear when it seems the cord or the driver slowly gives out over time. Also are they heavier in bass because the tenore was kind of weak to me in that area.

    Is the COWIN HE8 a good pick for bluetooth in ear headphones?

    Or is there a set in it's price range of less than $100 that would be better and still be Bluetooth? I plan on using it with my HTC U11 due to the fact I only can use a 3.5 jack if I plug in the USB adapter that it comes with.

    can't tell difference between shure se535 and the free iphone ear buds....am i doing something wrong??

    For some sound just isn't something they care much about so they won't really pick up any difference. I could tell the difference between a $30ish pair and a free pair that came with my phone and a really crappy $5 pair I picked up at best buy but beyond that I can't say I would really be able...

    Slightly disapointed in the zero audio carbo tenore VS my Sennhiser MM 30G

      Thanks for the guide, the tenores still work great. I was just worried about the volume issue being a sign they needed to be returned. I might get the JVC HA-FXT90 or Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear at some point if I really want to upgrade but I think I am happy with what I got. I also settled on...

    Slightly disapointed in the zero audio carbo tenore VS my Sennhiser MM 30G

    It is normal for the Carbo tenore to be kind of "weak". After Sennhiser was willing to pay for shipping and replaced my MM 30G for free I got to compare them to the zero audio set, I expected it to be a blow out. Instead they do trade some blows.   Putting the in line mic and other features...

    $2500 budget. Need help deciding gaming PC or headphone setup

    I would recommend a R9 290 over the GTX 960 as the R9 290 is a much faster card and it cost just a little more.   I think the GTX 970 is also great bang for the buck and can be found under $300 new sometimes. I may not know my audio worth a darn yet, but I do know some about PC gaming builds...

    Ok thinking about a new in ear headphone looked at a number of models, under a $100 would be great

    Went to best buy and tried on some head phones, decided I really don't like on ear headphones for a number of reasons.    Maybe I will get a V6 instead of the 7506 even though it does cost a little over a $100 as far as I know.
