Sony has more breathing room for a lawsuit than any of the other Dap manufacturers who don't cap volume. So they should be least likely to do this. It doesn't add up.

A little history lesson: It was nearly 3M, reduced to 800k and then appealed, not 600k. The woman was in a parked car, not driving. The coffee burnt nearly 10% of her skin down to the tissue within seconds. It was served to her at nearly 200 degrees. Most restaurants do not serve coffee above...

I looove the mk3 as well but may sell it soon to help fund the VC. I've never felt sad to move on from a headphone before, especially in pursuit of an "end-game," but I will surely miss the incredible comfort and versatility of the Argons.

Had to buy after reading the following review: "After roughly two weeks of trying ribcage them fit snug without hearing my ears they are an absolute win." When a pair of iems turn men to poets you can no longer deny their extraordinary ability to affect our understanding of reality.

Good to know, I assumed it was 1-year. Shot them an email. Hopefully the process will be painless.

Sound started to die on the right bullet of my er2xr and finally completely bit the dust today. Really disappointing for a 15 month old iem that's been babied and has maybe 60 hours on it. Would it kill ety to fix these cable issues that seem to be pretty common. Why are dirt-cheap chi-fi iems...

I have the same question. Anyone know?

Complaints about glued-on pads are very common. You don't care, but others do. Perhaps you need to take a trip to the empathy store, eh? Believe it or not, your experience and corresponding opinion is not the only one that exists, or matters. Shocking, I know. In fact it hardly matters at all...

Does anyone here have experience with both the m11 plus and the 240? I'm struggling to see what benefits I'd get with the latter over the former for the extra $200 or so. New to DAPworld so looking at spec sheets and reading a few reviews it seems they're roughly equal performers. Batt life...

I saw that post already thanks. Nowhere in it is a reason why they had to use glued-on pads. This is particularly telling, however. The bold tells you that they know they've deliberately created a user-unfriendly product with a painful pad replacement procedure, and also that it is in fact...

Of course I don't know, and in that way I am in the same boat as those rushing to their defense making, you guessed it, unfounded assumptions. Meze could simply explain why they chose to employ a method of attachment that is heavily disliked and could not develop one that was more...

This is true of many headphones that don't have glued on pads. And funny, I used to hear the same argument about detachable cables. That somehow having one integrated unit was better for sound quality and a detachable cable could compromise that 😂 All I'm saying is that this is a clearly...

There is no legitimate reason to believe that it would, unless the engineers at Meze are simply inferior to the ones at 99% of companies that have figured this out a long time ago. It is either a shortcut, or a money-driven maneuver. As such, it's a bit gross to see so many people flock like...

What a thing to be triggered by :laughing: Year is not relevant to watches so somehow it isn't relevant to anything else? What a truly abysmal argument. Year is relevant here. Just like car manufacturing (funny you brought that up): % of accidents that are fatal is drastically lower now...

Was stated earlier that expected lifespan of pads is 2 years. Given one needs to send them off or purchase a kit to replace them, it likely won't be cheap. It's a big enough bummer to X these off the list of TOTL closed backs I was considering. It's 2021, not 2001 -- there's no need to make...

Already mentioned but the E3000 is what sprung to mind immediately for me.

I actually nearly bought the Starfield before settling on the 2xr. I love the isolation they provide in addition to how they're tuned, so I'm trying to exhaust all possibilities rolling tips before giving up on 'em. Obviously the softest foam tips out there are pretty comfy but they tweak the...

Love how the 2xr sounds with symbio tips. Improves upon all 3 of the stock tips and is better than any of the other popular third-party options. Competes with many $500+ iems IMO. Unfortunately, they're not comfortable enough to keep in my ears for more than about an hour at most. And that's...

I'm guessing the price drop is due to the Drop release later this year of the 8xx? I wonder if it'll drop below 1400 as the year goes on if the 8XX is well-received.

These were completely off my radar. Thanks for the heads-up!

I believe any (?) ZMF headphone can be made vegan. Same with the Meze Empyrean. So there are a few options out there, and I imagine as time goes on the list will grow.

May as well get an Atom stack -- unless you need a DAC with more features (Atom Dac only has usb for instance.)

They're both very clean amps that will power 99% of headphones you throw at them. Neither should color the sound at all. Atom is probably a bit better with really sensitive cans.

Only reason to get the sp200 is for the extra features, really. I would say build quality since the atom is light and plasticky, but I hear more about higher priced chi-fi gear failing than cheap jds stuff, so.

Speaking of ety cables, if anyone can direct me to a replacement cable for the er2xr that's 8-10 ft in length i'd be quite thankful. Looked around a bit w/ no luck.
