Replacement unit from the dealer or from the manufacturer, is based on national laws of the country. For example in germany, it is the dealer first you have to contact and ask for a replacement; not mandatory for the manufacturer to provide a replacement unit. If it was only the paint damage...

Luckily my model is overall fine, regarding build quality. A model from around may, with the longer hinge. It does squeak a little bit when moving the cups and the right cup could be cushioned a bit more even. They still haven't replaced the stiff cable making microphonics? Will be interesting...

Likely less distortions in that measurents because audio level is not cranked up to the max. For 99 % of the listeners the distortion should be absolutely unhearable. Your measurements also shows no such heights in the 600 - 900 Hz region. Only a bit. As explained above, that sudden change in...

I manually tweaked and compared Oratory's peq with the one preliminary frequency graph from Judes here on head-fi and amirms. Tweaked and compared for 4 hours, listening to the differences. What displeases me personally, that with my model, simply by applying amirms P-EQ, it completely changes...

That change must be do to audio level he applied. He basically applies +5 dB < 100 Hz to almost every headphone, be it a dynamic driver, ribbon, planar or AMT. Everyone knows the bass regions of the heddphone sound very different to that of a dynamic driver. Even when the graph in that area...

Just search for some Programs on the apple store. Pairing the heddphone with an smartphone? Well ;) I'd recommend trying it first out with a proper amplification and something like APO + peace equalizer, to make changes on the fly and turning it off/on consecutively. The heddphone has no...

And for me that Parametric EQ just sounds awful. Some of you blindly copying that PEQ actually realizing amirm ist just posting his opinion? "I like harman curve and this does match/match not harman curve and that's why i like/dislike it". This is basically 80 % of the review. Just as thousand...

Hello everyone ;) I soldered some simple speaker cables some time ago, now I want some headphone cable. A few quetions: I'm unsure between taking the neotech stdct 24 awg or the NECE-/NECH-3001. All of them only use teflon- or pvc-insulation. Is that a problem in 99 % of the use cases...

I'm personally aiming for an monoprice thx 887, smsl sp 500 (should be released soon) and flux lab FA-10. The truth lies somewhere in between! A lot of comments/reviews about cables are obviously wrong (unintentional/intentional lies?), the usual placebo effects, brain trickery, bias...

Yes, the sterero imaging and soundstage is indeed different to the hifiman lineup. In some ways the closest comparison I listened to, regarding the imaginging and focus of tones, would be the stax-sr009s and the hd 800S, but both with different sound characteristics. I'm wondering if being bald...

No problemo :relieved: So you listened for a longer period now? Try using the equalizer, you will see the AMT driver does really well with that and can go even deeper. I have not listed to those woo 5k € amplifiers, but I don't think a totl-product needs to cost that much any longer; especially...

Really, the Focal clear? For the more enjoying-like music and movie presentation I guess? I personally like the rumbling bass of the planar and the amt transducer more for movies^^ Though I haven't listened to the zmf lineup yet. It is different from the heddphone, Clear compared to the Utopia a...

There are for professionals and music lovers (and audiophiles :upside_down:). Personally, I've not listened to any headphone in the > 1000 € price range, the usual ones which the majority on this website talks about, which combine these attributes and sound characteristic as good as the...

Thanks Rayzilla :thumbsup: So putting this headband under the normal headband? I think they cushioning of the headband is very fine, but it would be better distributing the weight if it were a bit wider, for more contact surface. This headband does exactly that? General: Tonal differences...

Amazon would sell them as "In good condition. Minor scratches"

Most honored and valued Sir Knight pataburd , no, I'm actually joking. No need to be sooo formal ^^ (i) Well, that is common knowledge as it is known by likely everyone who is mix & mastering music, or even laymen as me. The talk about that was starting (and ongoing) even in this thread, or...

@tonereef That's because no one has, in a written review, through commenting or videos, has actually explained in detail what the sound stage of the heddphone exactly is like, compared to the usual headphones, planars etc. There are some misconceptions about what the heddphone actually listens...

@youkeum Dividing the audio signal? Yes, the burn-in is real with those. Every headphone I tried so far, dynamic, planar or amt had noticeably changes after some burn-in. This is no phenomenon of bias, brain-trickery or the brain adjusts to the sound etc. I focused very much to net get tricked...

Interested in a review with the Stellia and hd 800S :slight_smile:

Looks like everyone needs a balanced cable for this headphone, xlr or trs and a lot of juice^^ What amplifier exactly for $ 300? Yep, and still they sell it only for 1700 €/$ 1900 as compared to the 3 - 5k other headphones. A small manufacturer in Europe, with higher costs as a for example in...

About the quality of the components: Would need an expert open them both and analyze the components. The measurement reviews on asr and other websites are a nice start and helpful, but don't tell complete unvarnished truth. Some things can't be measured with equipment and some forums members are...

Or from one power outlet too? With that kind of equipment it makes sense! What about the quality of the power grid, outlet, noise, power surges. Living here in germany I've never had any problem with this kind of things and the quality is high. No problems = no need of such device? Or it is...

Maybe trying such things next live, being a millionaire, with equipment that cost x times the headphone itself, when 99% diminishing returns do not matter to me :smile: You mentioned it changes the way luxury $ 5k + equipment (big power amps) plays, so I guess equipment for 500 - 1000 will not...

@SoundHelmet "The 6khz notch is not a measurement artifact. it was audible on my mine during a sine sweep. However, narrow notches are hard to hear during music." This is a good way pointing out something. If you now could describe more of your listening experience regarding this and compare it...

If your ego is shaken that hard right now and you're emotionally that upset, can't handle what others say, thus leading to such unnecessary derogatory comments "TL;DR. Please shut up.", then please shut up and move on yourself. You clearly have not understood what a forum is about - so move on...
