I’m using them with a shanling up5 since i got tired of organizing my music collection on the DX120. I actually like these headphones more than the NAD HP50’s i bought to replace. The HP50’s have a boosted midrange which makes the soundstage more intimate. The Takstars have a more 3D sound in...

Just got my pair of Pro 82’s. I’m blown away how good they sound, and the build quality has exceeded my expectations. They don’t creak or wobble And they are likely one of the most comfortable closed back pairs I’ve tried, definitely more comfortable than the original takstar V1. They are not...

That’s disappointing, I did not want to have to rely on having to charge something else. It looks like the frequency response on the qc45s are far different when they are turned off.

Yup thanks I did. None of the links work, so I found the product manually and noticed the item number in the link was the same.

thanks just bought them. I was actually looking at the qc45s but it looks like they dont sound as great when they are used in passive mode. It appears that it’s more than noise cancelling, so there must be some sort of DSP system. I already have AirPod pros for flights and cutting the lawn...

Yeah best to rewire if you want to do that, it all depends on how they are wired. That said, I made my own balanced cables for my hifiman 400i. Though I also think expensive cables are a waste of money, at least for my ears.

Thanks just bought them, ended up finding the proper pair in black from the takstar store on aliexpress. I was actually looking at the QC45 but it looks like it was a wonky response until they are turned on. That is disappointing and leads me to believe they are using DSP to create the ideal...

Can you guys help me out with picking up a pair of Pro 82's V2? I think I found them but im not sure if its version 1 or 2, they are black but it says this is the new version...

I wonder if the clones are boosted bass, I bet that's what it is. I remember stuffing the ear cups with cotton to tame the bass which worked. At any rate, having a hard time finding the Pro 82's

Lol I still have the ISK MDH900's I remember you really like them but they never fit me properly ( I have a small head I guess). I always found them bass heavy anyways but I certainly liked how deep and immersive the soundstage was. Im hoping the Pro 82's will have less bass.

Yeah you twisted my rubber arm, lol so I'll get pair. Neither link works though, it just goes to the home page. I just hope they are not bass heavy as that can ruin it for me, on the plus side it sounds like they have a pretty big soundstage. I was also looking at the mono price M565C planers...

The link doesnt work for some reason. So why does the frequency response look different here than when Amir measured it? https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/takstar-pro-82-review-headphone.24878/

Is the Pro-82 separate from v2? How can I identify the difference? I have the Kensington cloud 2 (takstar pro 80), though they sound good I have never really considered them for anything else other than gaming. Is is these here...

What would you recommend that is a step up from these? Something under $500? I love the HP50's sound, though sometimes I would like a wider soundstage. They are tonally almost perfect for me, they are just uncomfortable which is why im looking for a replacement. I have the ISK 9000's, I hardly...

The Truthear Zero Blue is an IEM no? Also the MMX300 only comes with a mic it looks like, is that a gaming headset? I've always wanted to hear the 770 Pro, they look really comfortable though the graph makes them look like treble monsters. One thing I really dont care for is a mid bass boat.

What would you guys recommend for over ear and closed back that are under $500? I hate bloated bass, right now I really like the tuning of the NAD HP50 (they work really well for classical music) but the comfort is pretty bad. I really like an airy treble also, though nothing piercing. I have a...

What is the imaging and soundstage like? I think the HP50's are pretty good, though the marketing over room fill technology is a bunch of crap. They image well but not anything more than a good set of closed back headphones.

what about AKG 371? They look really comfortable for someone with a small head. How do they compare to the HP50's?

Hey guys, im looking to upgrade from my HP50’s. I really love the sound but the fit and comfort are something to be desired. I had to modify the headband by building it up since i have a small head. In addition, i had to swap the Pads to something slightly more cushy as my ears were touching the...

that's my thoughts, so im trying to only listen to ambient music while working, though mostly I've been using the portal app which is sound effects and recordings of oceans, waterfalls ect. Unfortunately it means less music, but than I should have more incentive to do active listening when I...

Well I listen to tons of music during the workday (sometimes all day) so im trying to cut back since it's just passive anyways. I have a theory that all that passive music listening is messing with my brain or interfering with REM sleep. For example, it's like my brain trying to fill in the...

What do you guys make of this? https://www.psypost.org/2021/11/study-finds-listening-to-music-before-bed-can-worsen-your-sleep-by-inducing-long-lasting-earworms-62077 as someone that struggles with insomnia myself, I can relate to this. I stopped listening to music before bed, though I was...

Yeah apple uses 256KB AAC from Apple Music, that is equivalent to a 328 mp3 in quality since AAC is really good. So really my best bet is to stream lossless in that case so I can get the 320 AAC rather than 256 AAC. That said Hi-Res would be a waste then. Honestly I can't reliable tell the...

Ahh makes sense, so there is no point in downloading lossless files then if its limited to AAC.

I tried everything guys, im using Apple Music and all the settings are set for lossless. What is going on? I have the companion app and have all codecs enabled, running version 1.6.3. Is this an iPhone issue? I've also tried this on my Mac and it's the same.
