Right. I spent a lot of time, effort and money to get a likeable sound out of the HD700. Almost gave up on them (with the stock cable and before the StefanAudioArt mod) due to harshness which really shows up on choral works such as Brahms' German Requiem if one likes that sort of thing. Then I...

Now discontinued, but NOS and used they go for around $100 Being an on ear design they are not the most comfortable headphone, but, if you are into DIY and willing to go to the trouble to re-wire them to be balanced and install a 3.5mm female receptacle on the right ear cup to allow use of...

Bad luck. The tiny nut that holds the receptacle which the headphone cable plugs into just fell off my left earcup one day. See pic. I found it by combing through the carpet in my bedroom but I was unable to reattach it. I emailed Verum and they were very responsive and suggested how I might...

Describing a component as musical or possessing musicality offers zero insight into how it sounds. It simply states that the listener finds the component to be subjectively pleasing. In other words, “I like this” dressed up in a suit and tie, talking loud and saying nothing...

Good news: PayPal stepped in and got HiFiGo to give me a full refund. It took a lot of my time to get to this point, but PayPal's support staff really came through for me.

The FAEEAL brand HD600 series cable on amazon is low cost and I think better than the stock cable.

I am attaching a screen shot I discovered of the stated warranty policy of Tangzu which indicates they will replace defective Zeitan Wu iems without the need to ship them back to China. Compare that policy statement that they issued in September to the this message I received a few days ago when...

CAUTION: My Zeitan Wu iems, upon arrival, had same intermittent cut outs that BadGuyGoodAudioReviews has, then the left channel went dead silent within a few minutes of use. The seller HiFiGo has made it clear that they have a "that's life" view and I won't be getting a refund or replacement...

WITHDRAWN

My HD700 sound so much better to me since I got the $279 StefanAudioArt mod. There is still harshness on things such as classical choral works but I really enjoy these for a lot of recordings. Update:C3 Audio re-tipped an Acoustic Revive HD800 cable for me to fit the HD700. With this very...

After double checking the invoice, mine are actually V2. I paid $489 plus state tax. The headphones and cables arrived in perfect condition. No factory box. Be sure and read the condition description in the Adorama listing. Some are described as seriously cosmetically or otherwise flawed, so...

EDITED: Adorama has had from time to time a few used pair of the V2 HE6SE for just under or a little over $500. I got the good price but was ready to return them (too much treble emphasis for me) until I listened to them with Decware Zen Taboo MK III amp and that won me over. Now I am happy...

UPDATE: Too bad the owner/builder turned out to have such a demeanor. I bought mine before all the flap arose. In any event, I feel fortunate to own them and enjoy listening to them very much every now and then, especially with an all tube amp. They sound first rate in their clarity and...

I spent much time and effort before I finally eliminated all noise when using my all tube headphone amp with EL84, 6922 and 274B tubes with the Jensen Iso-Max CI-2RR .

. As to the "musicality" aspect: https://darko.audio/2018/05/musicality-talks-loud-says-nothing/ To me, the revised Topping L30 has superior sound.

Gone fishing.

No longer want to buy.

Yup, the Sonorous III are very different in tuning and differ greatly in several other ways when compared to the Z7M2. It appears that the Sonorous III have always been named the Sonorous III. The headphones currently named Final Sonorous IV and Final Sonorous VI were formerly named Pandora...

I owned Z7M2 and the optional Sony/Kimber cable for several months then sold them and moved on. They are definitely totally non-resonant and don't reverberate which I especially appreciate with classical music. The Z7M2 are a brilliant design and may tickle your fancy.
