Copy of my last year message : ¨At the level of the d8000 price, but if you want a balanced cable you have the Meze Audio 2,5mm cable, it was 50% off at 49€, and it´s worth it ! ¨ don´t know if today you can find it in promo, but even though it´s a good choice, I only use this one.

At the level of the d8000 price, but if you want a balanced cable you have the Meze Audio 2,5mm cable, it was 50% off at 49€, and it´s worth it !

FAD Pandora Hope/Sonorous VI. Fantastic sound, easy to drive, with ZMF Pads/Head Bands to improve comfort.

Hello, well as I stated in my previous comments, due to the low impedance (8/16ohms) it´s better to avoid any basic amp, they don´t need anything to enhance their small defects (a bit bright tend to go towards sharp highs !) I assume with more sofisticated DAC/Amps you could adjust/Equalize and...

Well they are quite differents, HD660S are open, maybe a better soundstage but they really need an amp to give their best, and are quite comfy as rather lightweight. I prefer my Sonorous VI when connected directly to the DAP (or your phone), don´t need that much power (16 Ohms impedance), the...

It´s worth it depending of the usage, in mint conditions it´s still a bargain at around 250/350 $ (and €) range. And after you can have a better confort changing pads (personally ZMF) and finding a balanced cable like the Meze Audio. At the end, don´t know if the sound is holographic, as I never...

Effect Whaoouuu ! yes, what a change ! I´m warmly pushing everyone of these headphones owner´s to get this cable, it´s giving a plus in sound stage, sound definition and clarity, I could I´ve saved some money not purchasing AM5 for my Fiio X7II if I used this cable before ! a must have :gs1000smile:

Nice , I´ve bought the cable last week when i was in Paris (a refurbished one ! for 45€ in a Son video com shop) but i didn´t tried it already and well the first comments are looking promising :beyersmile:

Thanks for the info, well the AM5 has no balanced output, will have to reinstall original AM3A amp on the X7 which have one and try with this cable and not shure I will have an upgraded sound, if you take this cable, please let me know how things are going...

The same for me, looking for a balanced cable, seen somewhere that we could use a Meze (Classic ?), dont´t know if someone already try. My sonorous are perfect with Fiio X7II (AM5), but who knows with a balanced one.

Yes but sometimes it´s too much, when I´m hearing it with the Fulla amp, even at lowest volume, the sound is too bright then I moved to the Sen 660 (150 Ohm) for a better combo. But except that I enjoy these cans.

Yes with AM5 it´s a nice upgrade to drive all kind of headphones, currently my Sen. HD660, missing a 2¨5 or more a 4¨4 balanced connection, next Fiio move?

Same for me, I´ll wait a better update approval, 1.07 for me is better, more stable than the previous ones.

:dt880smile: Yes but not the same budget ! for this headphone you need an amp ?

How D8000 is doing Vs Sonorous VI ?

Interesting, tell us when you´re finalizing the stuff

Hello, Was looking for balanced, Final once had some for this headphone but impossible to find today, heard that some people were using HE cables, but the connectors are so specifics...if someone have a better idea.

By the Way, here it is : Fiio M3K :) just missing radio Fm

Oups it´s not the M9, it´s the M7...

Wanted a M5, to replace my Nano, Shuffles...as It was not coming I bought a used M3, quite happy as a mobile solution, at home is a X7II, and I just seen that Fiio will introduce the M9 soon, bigger than M3, with FM radio, always wanted, and curious to have more details on this newcomer...

Interesting Final D8000 Planar review : https://www.headfonia.com/review-final-audio-d8000/3/ (Ahem...priced 3.800$ ! )

Just to contribute to the talk, ysterday I´ve received the Mass Drop´s ZMF Ori Lambskin perforated + Pilot Pad and it´s a true improvement about comfort concerns, I´ll have to listen at least a couple of hours to confirm. About the sound effect, well comparing with the original ¨A¨Pads, I have...

Happy new hears in 2018 !

Hello Zach, is the ORI Pads OK for the Final Audio Sonorous VI (Prev. Pandora) ? and the Head band ? Thks.

Someone knows if Final is going to introduce a balanced cable for this Headphone ? I think it was planned, maybe I´m wrong... In the meantime does it exist an affordable offer, rather than DiY to get balanced ? (my first post on this thread), I already enjoy as SE my Sonorous VI, I´m also...
