So I had the Edition XS for about a year, and I love them. However, since the HE1000 Stealth has been dropped to $1,399, I figured I would upgrade and buy them. After about a 100 hour burn in - They are just not for me. After a short time my ears almost sizzle off as these are BRIGHT! They...

Hello: Wondering if someone can help. I had to take the back of the earcups off my 'phones to get at the ONE screw that holds the left and right driver housings to the headband (it was coming loose) - if you have fostex TH610, 900 1 or 2 or the drop collabs, you know the screw I mean. The...

Hello: I am looking for a 4.4mm pentacon extension for various headphones I have (4.4mm female to 4.4mm male). I have upgraded all my headphones to this connection and they all are long enough for portable or desktop, but I need about a 10 foot extension for one of my amps and have not been...

I just got the DT177X and I swapped to the leather pads and initially I loved them. Nice strong bass like but not too much. Very punchy. However, after more listening sessions I started thinking these was distortion in the bass. Without any type of EQ or bass boost, the bass seems distorted...

thanks I will look into these options

I have a terrible time getting IEM's to fit. The only IEM that fit me correctly was JH audio Michelle. However, it had bloated bass and overall muffled sound to my ears. But the fit was fantastic. The lola also looks good with the long stem, but I fear I just don't like the JH sound based...

Has anyone tried pad rolling on the Meze 99 classics? I am looking for pads that reduce the mid bass a little and extend the treble. Not sure if any do but was hoping someone has some experience trying.

It does not come with a protective case and I cannot find anyone who sells one. Anyone know where to get one?

I will when I get more time, and perhaps burn it in a little. Just got it today. I have a DX220, Fiio M9 (use it with monoprice THX portable amp), and I also just got the Hiby R5.

Just want to let those of you considering getting the M11 Pro - it only has ONE SD card slot. I know there was talk of this, but they did it. Also, you need to look closely at the amazon listing. It says "64GB memory plus up to 2TB expanded storage" in the "main" top listing. I was thinking...

Anyone else have a fostex headphone where the little screw that holds the yoke to the earcup is loose? I have the TH900 Mk2 but my TR-X00 ebony also has the same mechanism. the screw is loose but I cannot get at it because the actual earcup is in the way. How do you tighten the little screw...

Thanks Monkey I do have the TH900Mk2, and I have already put on the 610 pads and it did help a lot with the treble. My Schiit Loki also helped greatly :). I also bought a LQI cable 4.4mm pentacon for my 900's. However, I decided I would like to keep my 900's as single ended to be run from my...

I have a set in mint condition and I would like to have detachable cables installed (if this is possible), and maybe some better earpads. What is the Lawton(?) Mod?

Looking for some thoughts on different variants of fostex headphones. I have the TH900 Mk 2 which I love, when using it with the Schiit Loki, where I can tone down the upper frequency by a few dB. Not always, but usually it just comes across as too bright for me. But with a little tweaking of...

The specific tracks I found piercing are pretty obscure heavy metal, but if you have Tidal you can find them. From the Astralium album "Land of Eternal Dreams", the chorus of the second song titled "The Journey" was tough. It sounded like the female singer was shouting in my ear. Also, the...

I just got these and am comparing them to other IEM's that I have. I also got a 4.4mm Fiio cable for them. Using them primarily with the iBasso DX220 with AMP8. They seem mid forward with good bass (not overpowering), and the highs seem clear enough without being too bright. However, upper...

I had the Kanas pro and returned them after I heard the moondrop KXXS. A tad better bass and more clarity. Others are saying this is kind of a sidegrade - just different tuning. I disagree, I think the KXXS is an improvement. Very similar pricing as well. BTW, I do not believe the Kanas Pro...

Within the last 6 months I bought the Fiio M9, but then the FIIO M11 came out, so I bought that too, and then I also bought the iBasso DX220. Will I buy the M11 Pro when it comes out? Probably... Am I crazy? I think so.... Anyone else buy more DAPs than they need?

Anyone with a TP60 buy the balanced 4.4mm cable from fostex? I bought one and it is EXTREMELY tight with connectors. Much more so than my other 4.4mm pentacons I have. I am thinking it may ruin my iBasso AMP8, or other connections I use it because it is so tight. Anyone else have this cable?

I did not know this. I am a Tidal subscriber and there is no option to download to your PC for offline listening. It is available for android and iOS, but not desktop. Are you saying Qobuz allows you to download (without buying) albums for offline listening on your desktop for as long as you...

I understand that - my question was not clear. I am asking about adapters. If I have a 4.4mm TRRRS connector on my 'phones, and I connect them to a 4.4mm to 3.5mm TRS adapter, then plug the 3.5mm to the player, is this a problem? I really asking if these adapters are safe.

Is it possible that connecting a balanced to a non balanced connector can be harmful? Is the quality of the sound impacted?

Did anyone replace the amp that came with the DX220 with the AMP8? Which do you prefer? I think the stock amp 2.5mm is more powerful, but I really want the 4.4mm connection. Any thoughts? Any idea if Ibasso going to update the AMP8?

That is similar to my experience. That equates to about 4 hours of battery life.

I would like to use my 4.4mm balanced phones with my Schitt Asgard 2 without swapping cables. I can find all other possible adapters but not 4.4mm to 6.3mm
