These came in the mail yesterday, brand new, sealed in box from Hong Kong, for US $300 plus $50 shipping. I was scared this was a scam the deal was so good, but here they are, untouched and sounding great. They took just over a week to arrive, well before the estimated delivery date. It looks...

I just ordered PM-2s from ebay (crossing fingers) and I have a set of PM-3s and the HE 400i. My question is about the label "semi-open" which I see the PM-2 described as. I tried them once in the Oppo digital headquarters in Menlo Park, and was blown away by how much broader they sounded over...

That looks nice! Even a slit for the LED I gather. I'm gonna have to go look up some reviews. I think this might seal the deal for me depending on price. Thanks!

Is there any chance Fiio will ever release this in a different color, say black? I have E17k Alpen 2 and I would be excited to purchase a Q5 but find the dark grey just blah, and things like that kinda matter to me. I was looking into a HA 2 SE for the form factor, leather, quality and style but...

Has anyone tried HA-2 SE with a blackberry keyone, android, which uses a USB C? I have PM 3 and HE 400i currently using a fiio alpen 2 DAC/amp, and would love to order a refurbed HA-2 se but worried about all the connection issues people have mentioned with Iphone. I haven't heard of any issues...

Yes, although I didn't have time to really familiarize myself with the pieces before I left. I will say I began with the Beethoven and tried the Haydn and enjoyed it so much I spent the rest of the trip listening to old classical pieces I had on my phone. I plan to try again on the way home...

well I'm flying with my new refurb pm-3 on Friday on a small prop and a larger bird. Link me up with some tracks you want to know about and what elements you are looking for and I could get back to you--I'm a noob to audiophilia but this could be a fun exercise haha. Tell me a subtlety to a...

Are you willing to get their refurbished version? Try calling, because I was in the same situation, and didnt see any refurbished options online for a long time, ($329) but last week decided to call and sure enough they had a pair available. I received them two days ago and I couldn't be...

Just ordered a refurbished black pm-3 from Oppo over the phone, though it was not listed online. I'm so excited! I, like others here, have the Hifiman 400i and got these as a portable compliment. Been hemming and hawing for months, and considered the MDR1A but finally pulled the trigger for...

Can someone please post an image of a person actually wearing the "Steel Blue" versions? I can't find a photo of this anywhere. The Black seem a tad muted and the White too bold for my tastes. I just can't tell what I think of the Blue unless I see them on an actual person's head haha.

How have you found (Ori, HM5, Audeze, etc.) pads to affect soundstage and imaging, if at all, in the 400i? Does distance from the drivers, or non-angled pads increase or change soundstage? My only complaint with the 400i (as a noob to hi-fi currently using the stock focus pads) is that the music...

I too just went from HyperX Cloud to Hifiman 400i, which are my first open-backs and first planars. From forums and reviews also I expected open-backs to be this amazing experience where it sounds like the musicians are sitting in the living room all around you. That definitely has not been my...
