Meze Audio 109 Pro
Hey all, I've just picked up a pair of 109s. Overall, great headphone. At 44 my hearing drops off at around 14200. So just before the treble peak. As a result these are actually are warmer sounding headphone for me. They remind me of the ZMF Aeolus as a result. Sit back on a comfy leather...- Twizzleshnizzle

New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation
2nd gen is the brightest of the bunch but not too bright. 3rd gen is quite a bit warmer, but it lacks the clarity of the 2nd gen. AH-D7200 is very recessed in the vocals. I think the Beyers are both better then the Denon. 3rd gen is the best balance overall (most mass market tuning). 2nd...- Twizzleshnizzle

AudioQuest NightOwl - A closed-back NightHawk
I haven't forgotten about you. The new pair turned up today... and they're fully pleather!!! No idea what's going on with their stock, but it seems I had some earpad gold dust on my hands.- Twizzleshnizzle

If they're un-opened I might just take you up on that. The next pair should be here in a few days. I'll give you a shout when the time comes.- Twizzleshnizzle

AudioQuest NightOwl - A closed-back NightHawk
It's a hybrid, the inner is suede. I just ordered another pair. Let's see what I get. I actually wouldn't mind a pleather as it's my preferred.- Twizzleshnizzle

AudioQuest NightOwl - A closed-back NightHawk
I almost don't want to tell anyone this and keep it to myself... https://joeaudio.co.uk/products/audioquest-spare-pads-for-nighthawk-earphones A year or two ago, Joe Audio were selling these pads on ebay. I picked up two pairs at the time, without doubt they were official. But although the...- Twizzleshnizzle

Philips Fidelio X3
Very much the same here. I can't even stick a mod mic on them. Shame as the tuning is great for gaming.- Twizzleshnizzle

Philips Fidelio X3
The cable system was the big problem for me. The X2HR worked beautifully for gaming with a vmoda boom mic pro.- Twizzleshnizzle

New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation
Good effort. I've owned the T5p twice before and regretted letting go of it each time, so I've just picked it up again. They're getting harder and harder to find in great condition. Well worth holding onto. Give it a few more years and they'll become gold dust to find.- Twizzleshnizzle

New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation
Those are the correct ones. They're very easy to fit. You can either slip them over the rim of the earcups, or use the plastic ring that the stock earcups are attached to. You can easily pop it out and take the stock pads off. Beyer pads are extremely easy to swap.- Twizzleshnizzle

Philips Fidelio X2?!
Very nice. Typically the used prices here in the UK tend to be close to the new price on Ali. No idea why but the price of the SHP models have crept up over the past couple of years. The Rode NTH-100 is also an excellent headphone if you're looking to play around in the same kind of price area.- Twizzleshnizzle

While you're exploring Philips, try the Philips SHP9500. In terms of tuning they're more balanced. Less soundstage but more clarity. Also much lighter on the head. They're complimentary to the X2HR. You can get them for a very good price on AliExpress.- Twizzleshnizzle

ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.
I've used the Arya Stealth and HE6SE but not the HE1000 v2. Arya was good. Nothing overly impressive when I compared them to my Fostex TH909 (incredible but very v-shaped headphone). I really don't like the earpads on Hifiman. They feel cheap and nasty. But Hifiman headphones EQ extremely well...- Twizzleshnizzle

ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.
I mainly use eBay or here. I doubt many people who've forked out for a ZMF would be out to rip someone off. Also eBay coverage is good. If it's not what you're expecting you can instigate a return, whether the seller agrees or not. I've tried masses of headphones from eBay. I've only ever had...- Twizzleshnizzle

Keep an eye on the used market. Save yourself a fortune. They've been selling for around £1400-£1500 used in the UK currently.- Twizzleshnizzle

It still sounds fantastic from a Mojo 2. The sensitivity of the VC isn't that high, so it's not as hard to drive as some other headphones. I had both together for around a year.- Twizzleshnizzle

RØDE NTH-100 (new studio headphones)
I picked these up new from Amazon for £70. Thought I'd give them another go. Used the stock cables and was instantly impressed and pretty shocked at how good they sounded for £70. I've added the additional mic to turn them into a headset and now use them for gaming with friends. They're...- Twizzleshnizzle

Philips Fidelio X2?!
I'd agree with you, they are quite a dry sound. Especially compared to something like the HD6XX/HD650 which is a nice smooth experience. That's why I keep my X2 just for gaming. That dry characteristic is perfect for it. Whereas my HD650 is too smooth for gaming.- Twizzleshnizzle

OIDIO SOUND Impressions Thread
There are quite a few custom cable options in the UK. Having tried quite a few I can safely say OIDIO are my favourite. The paracord used, and the weave pattern makes them so nice to handle and use. They feel quality and they sound great. -

Philips Fidelio X2?!
There is a difference but it's not major/jarring/bad. It was a long time ago now, but I remember preferring them over stock mainly due to the comfort, and being a fussy guy that must mean it didn't take away from the sound.- Twizzleshnizzle
