Welcome to the club. They're definitely an underrated headphone. If you'd don't mind me asking what amp are you running them with? Asking as it looks like a Burson and I've got the Conductor V2.

I previously wrote about the Dekoni choice suede pads on the T90's which I found better than any other pads. Soundstage remained intact, slight lower mids/mids boost. Didn't work with my Mullard tubes which were already leaning on too warm with the stock pads, but the sound was vastly improved...

Any amp suggestions would be appreciated. Was looking at the drop + cavalli liquid carbon x. Any ideas on what that would be like or information tubes and tube hybrids for the focal clears and elears would be greatly appreciated.

The inputs of most amps are quite complicated as to avoid this kind of damage. especially if the amp was off (but even if it was on). Given this information, if your other components are working fine, then they most likely are fine. Most likely the problems with your DAC would have come from a...

Give them ago first. If they give you what you are looking for than leave it at that. If they don't then keep looking.

For musicality the Elears you mentioned would be spot on although I would recommend the Drop + Focal Elex's simply for price reasons. The low end of these headphones is phenomenal. Despite this nothing is ever subtracted from the other frequency ranges and if you get the Clears (what I'm...

I have owned Focal Elears and now own Focal Clears. Love the headphones for the most part but think they might not match perfectly with my Burson Conductor V2. Certainly doesn't sound bad with the clears but have found the amp can sound a bit congested with the clears. Fair enough as I mainly...

For an open headphone with brighter and more neutral sound than the Hd650/6xx try the cheaper HD58x. Neutralish sound with slightly elevated low end and slightly reduced highs. With some experimentation on the foam in front of the drivers you can tune the highs to your liking. I think stock...

As outlined above Planar dynamics need more wattage over voltage compared to high impedance dynamics. As a result even when you are getting the headphones to a suitable volume you'll find they lack things in comparison to higher powered amps. For example, my Sundara's reach a suitable volume...

It's a pre out the same as the LD MkII and will run the signal through the tubes.

The LD MKIII SE is solid state and aimed at giving some tube flavour to high power planar headphones. Great amp but there are better options for the HD6XX. I have a number of amps and still use my LD MKII in my office with Beyerdynamic T1 gen 2's so no need to worry about how the amp scales to...

If you read his post he says; Funnily enough HD58X's with an amp were going to be my original suggestion as well, till I saw wireless.

What's your source? Have you tried tube rolling? The stock tubes are nowhere near the potential of the amp. I've got an LD MkII and I've tried many tubes. It completely changes the character of the amp and is one of the main appeals of having a tube amp. Which the stock tubes you might as well...

https://drop.com/buy/drop-wireless-headphones The Drop + THX Panda are possibly the only pair of wireless headphones I would ever consider owning. Based off the fan favourite OPPO PM driver with the addition of the worlds cleanest amplifier built in, there's nothing that comes close.

For home use in private is there any reason to use closed back headphones?. Let's assume ideal open back headphone conditions. What SQ advantages do closed back headphones have. I can't imagine any and yet people buy high end closed back headphones for home use, even when they own other high...

If you really do like the Blon's, using code 618 you get an extra 10% off the BL-03's from linsoul. That makes them only 24.30 with free shipping and with the 1 year warranty. I know a lot of people including myself have had no problems with the Bl-03. Since they are so cheap at the moment from...

What would you consider as the KZ step up from Blon Bl-03

Sorry to hear about that. May I ask where you got your Bl-03's from. Most retailers do offer a warranty, for example Linsoul's is 1 year. What went wrong with them as well. A lot of people say the cheap included cable breaks causing people to think they are broken when they are not. Pretty much...

In general I like a fairly neutral signature with decent extension in the low end as to ensure I don't feel like its missing anything but otherwise a slight focus on the upper frequencies for detail.

Sorry for the late reply. Having had my Bl-03's for a while now I can report that they definitely have soundstage but it is more in a way that you feel more immersed within the music rather than having it come from purely inside my head. I find that in technical soundstage where I can pinpoint...

Thanks, seems like C12 might be a bit better (I really dislike the zsx look but love the c12 look). Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the C12's when they arrive

Hey, I know this has been asked before but I don't really feel like leafing through a 3346 page thread to find what I want. Could someone please outline the differences between the KZ ZSX and CCA C12. Thanks

The ifi zen dac is an excellent dac amp. DAC is clean and supports any format you could possibly throw at it including Tidal MQA if you use it. It has a clean headphone amplifier. The balanced output is excellent but I have found the single ended output to be slightly low on power in comparison...

I have the elears and the elex's and while neither have the greatest soundstage they (elears more so than elex) are basically more detailed, stronger and better sounding HD650's. Both fantastic headphones and if you can get them for a good price, as I've seen them on sale a lot recently, they...

Thanks for all the replies, I've ordered the Blon BL-03 and once I find a decent place to get the Jade ea3's will probably get them as well. For the moment the couple hundred dollars that the TRI I3's retail for is out of my budget but I will look to getting one in the near future to test. Will...
