Drop mine every now and then, onto tiles/tables. Still sounds the same. Maybe you can teach out to AT and ask for replacement cup / or repair?

As a follow up, I have had to change the jack several times so to help others make this easier to do themselves: Tip - Left hot Ring 1 - right hot Sleeve - both colds and the earth See attached photo... The white croc cable is the tip to blue # (T), The red croc cable is the ring 1 to blue #...

I guess that's a no, I have either.

Not at all, your English is perfectly understandable. Yes, this is how the sound will change if you remove or have a damaged cup. Just replace it with a third party replacement cups or contact audio-technica supplier in your country via a music store to get a hold of the original foam ones...

I'm interested to hear what you would think has a similar chocolateyness (dark compressed) sound and would be an upgrade in the treble and weight of these cans sound? Thanks in advance.

I don't have a lot of experience with high end consumer audio equipment only with professional audio as a musician and recording artist. I have these headphones for about 3 or 4 years now I reckon we got them both from the same sale at $300 AUD. 😉 My experience with other headphones is primarily...

The stock pads breath more, allowing the bad to escape, the lamb leather pads increase the bass reflections so their is a lift in the decibel of the low end.

Sounds like the r70x is the correct one for me then. I have found that if I drive and listen to my r70x at higher levels with a good headphone amp it becomes more alive. I like it with power powered supplies as well as higher.

I've heard people say they are really similar and they like different things about them each. I haven't heard the hd600 series.

Mine came firm and they did not rotate easily. If it bothered you I would get in touch with the seller. The replacement lamb skin cups brainwavz are really good.

I found a seller on etsy who makes the cable is not cheap at almost $100USD but they sound great now and it is a reliable cable. He's called 'audiofileninja'.

I'm thinking that an all in one player is best generally as it is more focused 'music time' and less hassels. Just listen to the new song dap zx 707 I think it's called, had that song thing of not amazing but nothing sounds wrong at least... The interface was impressive though. I listened to the...

I have the equivalent tascam now (p90sd) and it sounds pretty good, brighter, punchier, little less accurate and splashy up to, little more compressed and recessed bass. I finally managed to pair it with my Xperia 5ii and the Teac and the onkyo app both don't like it, they work but sounds God...

I just tried these, a week used pair in Japan shop. They were exactly like my R70X except a little harder to drive, slightly more treble openess, almost more modern sounding where as the R70X have the chocolate vinyl sound to the treble. When I kicked them hard they behaved exactly like the...

Was it NOS? I can't find one new anywhere...

I hear onkyo has gone bust too :(

Sorry, I don't. I'm using sheep leather pads by that brainz company from Singapore (sorry I forgot their name) Brain wavz, that's them, they are very comfortable even in the tropical heat. Sound signature is a little darker asks more full on low end which is not what these headphones needed :)

I find it very frustrating that the awesome onkyo hf app for Android won't even pair with onkyo official devices. It's totally ridiculous and surely is to be blamed on the fact they were bought out by the defunct Gibson guitars group who then ran Teac onkyo and tascam into the ground.

I'm looking for dongle recommendations. I am using a Sony Xperia 5 mark 2 phone and it has an ok sound output for general use but I want high fidelity because I'm posh haha. Ideally a small little dongle would be quite good but my headphones the r70x are quite demanding at 350ohms (I think). ...

You have no replys :( I don't have much to offer your question unfortunately but I use my pair of these headphones with the Onkyo ha300 portable player also I use it with the Tascam uh-7000 which is a recording computer interface that sounds phenomenal on the headphone output and through the...

I just pulled the battery out last week on my onkyo version, everything except the output PCB was made by Teac. Unfortunately the battery is very difficult to put back in place and there is a small risk of damaging the function of the main touch wheel mechanism on the front as it is made of...

At last! I have both! Initial observations based on car audio auxiliary input (Subaru Forrester 2015) and A-T r70x open cans and koss titanium porta pro and time stereo (eric mcchanson) is that the Onkyo is deeper bass, wider sound stage, wider frequency response, more natural and detailed...

The mimic cable: Looks really good, feels soft but rigid in the right way. It is a joy to French coil. It's quite good, but I don't notice a massive sonic difference from the standard cable. It's a bit better but I thought it may be more better as it is shorter and should therefore have been...

For anybody interested in wiring themselves or getting a designer cable for these the cable schematic is such: Main Tip - tip left - tip right Main Ring - ring left - ring right Main Sleeve - sleeve left - sleeve right As you can see it's diabolically simple, and it's design means that the left...

Sorry but I can't help, I have a similar problem. My HA-300 keeps freezing when scanning and generally rejects cards that work fine on my other devices. I am trying to get it to work with my Nokia 8 phone on Android using the HF Player app and two different types of conversions through OTG...
