Well, listen: the driver unit on the SS-2s are 70 (seventy!!!) mm in diameter! Description The Sansui SS-2 is a moving coil type headphone with excellent transient stability from 20 to 18,000 Hz, top L/R balance characteristics and a high damping factor. It utilizes specially developed cone...

Yo! My best-mate is a junkyard-emperor. He gave me a pair of mint condition Pioneer Monitor 10s ('77-model) about 1 ½ year back. Their 57mm drivers are just so musical that I'm in pain every time I have to a listening session with them. But about 4 weeks ago I received some new (old - vintage)...

What do you mean? The e17k's docking station are out in the shops! Don't downgrade to e17k!!! Buy something else! It's piercing my ears on most cans if not serial connected with the darker e11 (almost free and use similar battery as the most common Nokia-type. Easy to change as well. OPPO ha-2...

I definitely prefer the iPhone on max or one step below max in addition to a gain at 6dB (sometimes I gain the BASS on 2 or very seldom 4). Then it depends on the impedance of the headset how high I set my E17 (so called portable Dac - IF you purchase a damn camera-kit etc.).... A low volume at...

According to a tutorial the E17 is very easy to replace the 3.7Volts ~1000mAh LiPo battery on. But I think it's a little challenging experience to obtain a seller of this ultra special battery.

The Best solution for Akg k550 is simply an amp (fiio e11)! Suits just these over ears much better than e17 (that's difficult using as Dac otg! It sounds piercing to the almost free AKG K550 £99,-:))

E11 mark I

E11 suits 550s a lot better than E17! And it's ½ the price as well;)

Yes they definitely does

6s isn't optimized for jack! Use Lightning

Argon HA-2 "semi tube"(fake of another product with better Dac-specs)

You'll have a lot bang for the & bucks if you bought an adequate cheap FiiO amp. OPPO's HA-2 is totally awesome. Finally a portable Dac/amp, that you can use as (wow - listen..) a DAC!!! Fabulous! Denon also have an alternative, but you're hearing impaired if you choose it over the brilliant...

Well: first of all: throw Daft Punk in the Junk;)! Second (top tips from audiophile Norwegian Philosopher = I & I): obtain Patashnik by BIOSPHERE (Geir Jensen - recorded in 1995 at "Origo Studio". An amazing ambient L.P. 2) start to Listen to Röyksopp's 12" EP's (or Lossless @ TIDAL. "It's...

If dt-770 are bassy phones, I wouldn't have recommended FiiO E11 at all.

HD 700 pierced trebles are perfectly adjusted with Norsosts upgrade-cable. AND they're most comfy phones in the world! I prefer tube/Dac-amp or hybrid tube amp. The treable can be adjusted with better tubes as well. I think they're brilliant compared to 400i. They're to kind. If you like...

Try to place w headband further back on your head. That improve the quality a lot! Particularly the bass!

Buy a pair or two! You want regret it - ever! I prefer them over Momentum and P7.

I own 77'model of Monitor 10. They sound fantastic! I'll recabel them all the way & buy thick soft pads in leather. The only downside is the fact that you have to take them off before or later. That's actually quite painful!

These vintage headphones are fantastic both regarding sound-quality & industrial design! It's something with the sound that refuses you to even consider taking them off! I'll upgrade mine with new cabling all the way. I'll get new pads as well. They are definetely worth some effort to make them...
