Sorry, the listing is currently closed. I still have it, but I'm overseas for a while and the amp is back in the US.

Bump.

I'm selling my Audinst HUD-MX1. It's in very good condition and works well; occasionally there's a bit of static when you turn the volume knob. Comes with box, manual, USB, and power cables. Asking $80 shipped in CONUS, via PayPal goods and services. I'll eat the fees.

Hey, guys. I've been out of the game for a while (got into photography...and I thought headphones were expensive!). I'm currently stripped down to a laptop with an Audinst HUD-MX1, and ATH-M40X (with aftermarket pads), SoundMAGIC HP150 (with aftermarket pads), and Philips SHP9500s (although...

Currently listening to my pair (modified with Beyer Custom One Pro pads).  They've been in my collection for one of the longest periods of time.  In the past year I've owned the Massdrop Fostex TH-X00s, Philips Fidelio X2s, and now I've got the HD 700s (sold the other two).  They're just...

The HD 700s are very nice.  I got mine brand new for slightly north of $500.

Except for a little gaming with my HP 150s, I've used these almost exclusively this past week.  My X2s haven't had nearly as much head time.  They sound seriously good.  The $60 price point really makes them a steal.  I'm listening to a song right now that has some substantial bass (drum hits...

  Okay, I've had some more time with all three of my current headphones:  the SoundMAGIC HP 150, the Fidelio X2, and the SHP9500s.  It was a good shootout, and I have no clear winner.  They all have good things going for them. I've definitely had the HP 150s for the longest time.  That's still...

  It's been a long time since I've had the AD 700s, but IIRC, the 9500s are superior in most respects, IMO.  Perhaps not in terms of soundstage, but they're more forward, and have better bass both in terms of warmth and impact.  They don't sound anemic like the AD 700s, just perhaps a bit shy...

Just got my 9500s via Massdrop today.  I only listened to them *very* briefly, because I haven't showered yet and don't want to make the earpads gross.  Will have an extensive audition after I'm clean:).  First impressions:  very clean and clear, and not super bass deficient to my ears.  They've...

Just got these today.  Beautiful headphones.  Not the most money I've paid for headphones, but probably the most "expensive" headphones I've owned (I think the Denon D5000s were close in terms of MSRP).  It really shows, too.  Great materials and craftsmanship.  I believe a great adjective for...

I ordered through Massdrop, too.  Why not.

Those earcups look mighty shallow.  Concerning....

I got #429.  Going to A/B/C it with my K 550s and HD 558s to find out which one will stay and which two will leave.

I got my tracking number, but no ETA yet.  I'm #1718.

I think the differences I perceive have a fair amount to do with my amp swapping, since I could detect a noticeable difference between using my K 550s on my Headroom Micro and the K 550s on my SMSL sAp II.  The differences I perceive between the HP100s and HP150s (again, IIRC) are a better...

  I have, although it's been a while since I've had the DT 770s (owned them twice).  IIRC, the DT 770s, in comparison with the HP 150s, have a bloomy, somewhat unfocused bass, an inferior soundstage, and poorer clarity.  The HP150s are far superior, IMO.  I'd go straight to the HP150s and skip...

I think they are as good as $300 headphones.  The only ones I can think of at the moment are HD 600s and maybe Beyer DT 880/990.  It starts to come down to sound signature preference at this point, IMO.

In terms of diminishing returns, I think the sweet spot is somewhere around $300, although my two current mainstays, the SoundMAGIC HP150s and the AKG K 550s, only cost me $200 each.  I think they sound fantastic, among the best I've heard. 

Well, crap, sucked me in.  I think I was purchaser ~1870.  I've owned the Anniversarys (but paid about $150 more).  I suppose I could find a buyer for these as well, if I don't like them.

I have the K 550s now, and IIRC, the 702 Anniversarys sound pretty similar:  large soundstage, midrange focused, etc.  But although the soundstage on the 150s is smaller, it sounds more realistic.  It's substantially more engaging, IMO.  I kind of imagine the K 550s as a wall of sound.  You're...

They are definitely north of neutral in the bass department, IMO.  They hit very hard when driven with my SMSL sApII amp.  However, this should not be taken to mean that they are muddy.  Clarity and instrument separation is probably the best I've heard of any headphone I've tried (I have tried...

Yeah, my Sennheiser HD 558s are definitely the most comfortable of the three I own.

Beyer velour pads will work, but I found them to impact the sound negatively.  Kind of dried up the sound.

Got the COP pads in today and put 'em on.  Comfort has increased a bit.  I didn't realize how close in depth the pads were vs. stock, but I think they're a little more comfortable because they're not quite as soft as the stock pads, so they compress less.  I continue to be impressed by the...
