Yes, tough luck i guess =( It has been pretty solid for a while. I haven't used it for months though. Hopefully it's just some wiring issues w the voice coil (similar to the k7xx). serial is 109xxx, Made in Slovakia

turns out it there is something wrong w my k812. i tried another unit and it was fine on the recordings i have trouble with. my main unit had some rattling/sibilance on high freq on the left cup. will be sending it for repair, might as well convert to balanced while at it.

havent tried phoebus sorry yeah the stx isnt marketed for gaming, but the quality and the ability to power more types of headsets beats any gaming cards. I used to have a better experience with it (and directional accuracy in FPS games) paired with a decent open back headphones. it doesnt...

Thanks! Yes, only with older tracks. the K812 w stock cable still sounds great with the other recordings. I have a zx2 for easy listening w it, and a qp1r is more detailed. the k812 is hooked to the cma600i though but when i listed to older tracks, i have to switch to another pair of cans (...

the dt990/dt770 comes in different impedance models (32, 250 and 600) if you have the 32ohm model, you wont need an amp for 250 ohm, you may need one, or a soundcard w a decent headphone amp (Ti HD) the STX on its own can drive up to 600Ohm, quality is comparable with budget external amps

i used to sport the hd598 for gaming, can run w/o an amp but the bass is anemic (amping it gives a boost to the low end) i used to have the stx and it can drive even high impedance headphones fine. it's pretty decent in gaming as well (i just used the default gaming mode using the asus...

@ChisChas - congrats on the hugo 2! does it make the k812 more forgiving especially on old recordings? I love the k812 but i find them too sibilant and harsh w older blues tracks (t-bone walker )

anyone else had their Ethers upgraded? I have the Ether O and like buke9, am on the fence if I should convert to flow (currently outside the US, so the additional shipping cost isn't on my favor).

Thanks man! will look into it. I just checked if they are still connected, will check further btw, what planar is that? and did you replace the internal wires on that planar? the 560 looks cheap and flimsy =)

@Muinarc - thanks! is it the lead cable that connects from the 2.5mm socket to the driver assembly (magnets)? or is there a separate lead (magnets to diaphragm) inside the driver assembly? I'm not not too familiar with the planar wirings = (

Hi guys, I have an HE-560 (the newer version with 2.5mm connector). Need your help figuring out a fix for this (besides replacing the cup / sending in for replacement). The sound from the left driver randomly cuts off when some small force is applied to the cup (e.g. pressing it against the...

I ended up with the T1.2 as well for that genre. I prefer that over the hd800, but has to have a good amp to pair with it.

Hi guys! been a member for a few months, already had a deal and some good private chats w some members here, about time I post on the intro =) I'm glad the forum format is alive and kicking here, unlike other forums (in other hobbies) that Ive been on which were eventually killed by social media

I co-founded a social enterprise that aims to make giving (to poor but deserving school children) Transparent, Effective and Engaging. It is sheer heavenly poetry to be given a pair of melodious headphones that is Transparent, Effective and Engaging = ) (NOTE: I collected headphones and...
