Not to put too fine a point on it...but the value that is declared will determine their journey through customs.

I use my Odin mk2 with DAPs often. Works very nicely! No problem. FiiO X7 (with all 5 amp modules--I especially like AM2a); FiiO X5; Onkyo DPX-1a; HiFiMan HM-802s (with "Musical" amp card)

Ooh La La! I see London, I see France, I see Eric's...slip?

+1!

That's my one complaint--not very snug. (My other complaint: I fixed the forward-facing flashing Bluetooth light with a tiny piece of electrical tape.) They have a loose, 45-degree swivel (horizontal) so they conform to the angles of my ears--which are pretty flat, but don't provide any...

I especially like the blonde/black combo of the Odin (I'm assuming) in the last photo. :crayon:

X7/AM5 works well with HD650 (300 ohms), too, if that's of any help.

  Sorry! When I said "Yes, there always has been. I thought of that after I posted the above." I meant "Yes, there always has been confusion between the M2BT and the M2 AEBT." And the confusion lives on.  (Note a couple of posts above that where I say "No, M2BT's do not have ANC.")  ...

  Yes, there always has been. I thought of that after I posted the above.

  Don't get me wrong, I have 4 Silver and Black Dragons. (You may call me Khaleesi.) But they are all for $1,400+ headphones. I did get a $20 and a $60 cable for my HD 650's, but that was mainly to replace the original cable that is too long and heavy for me. They all sound great to me...

  No, M2BT's do not have ANC. There are other issues that people have problems with...yes, something to do with the BT connection which I've never experienced. Some of the leather ear pads have quality control issues--again something that I was lucky to avoid. (Haven't broken out pairs two and...

I finally got a pair of Onkyo H500BT. Very nice, indeed! Certainly a no frills presentation and build. I like their simplicity and paired down look. And since I prefer an on-ear headphone, this adds another one which rounds out my collection (yeah, right...) Even though they are similar to...

  Doesn't the Silver Dragon cable cost more than the HD 650? Diminishing returns...   (The last Silver Dragon V3 I bought cost $415, but it was for a $2,500 headphone. And even with that, I question my sanity.)

  I wouldn't call Avantree a no-name brand. They are well known for a variety of wireless and Bluetooth adapters with many different applications. Headphones maybe not-so-much*, but it's a decent brand.   (*Meaning maybe not as well known for their headphones as their other products...)

  [...later that same day...]   Oops! I thought I was on the HEX thread. I not sure about the HEK upgrade program. Might still be running for all I know. Sorry about that... 

  You get a new pair. They were shipped from New York--or maybe Urbana, IL, I can't remember which.   Are they running the offer again? The original exchange program ended long ago.

  Be careful with the Amazon return policy. There is a limit, and when they've decided you've reached it...no more Amazon for you!

  For a couple of months last summer, HiFiMan had an exchange program for original HEX owners. You sent in your V1 and they sent you the V2 back--free of charge. (Well, except for the $500 difference between a V1 $1,800 and the V2 $1,300 MSRP.) I emphasize  "exchange" because it was just that...

  If that's the direction everyone wants to go, then that is the end of this thread as we know it.

Yeah, I think it's finally becoming available in North America/Onkyo US. (Same for the DP-X1A). It was first offered only through Japanese sellers in April 2016, so probably will be available here ~April 2017. Good news; Great price! (Amazon).

  Where is this Amazon site located? If you scroll down the page of the above link, you see the Japanese-shipped versions at significantly more money. This one is cheaper and is fulfilled by Amazon. If it's accessible in the US, it might be time for me to buy...finally.     (Oops! "Usually...

  They are 300 ohms.

You had me at "...attic eagle nest office."    (And, yes, go with the HEX.)

Thanks @eric65 !   (It's nice to read another review with ratings of my Dharma D1000's, too, since there aren't that many reviews out there.)
