    Schiit Jotunheim 2 - Impressions Thread

    To be clear: the distortion I'm talking about seems to be a QC issue and not a fault of the jot2's design. Unfortunate, but very disappointing.

    Schiit Jotunheim 2 - Impressions Thread

    Been loving my Jot2 for the past week but just found out that for my most-power hungry headphones, when i get to a certain volume everything sounds EXTREMELY distorted. Hadn't noticed until just now because I hadn't been using those headphones, but I believe there's a problem with the gain...

    Comment by 'lowgain' on listing 'FS: Aurorus Audio Australis (B-Stock)'

    From the website: On my pair, you can see a couple dings on the housing but these are built like a tank and so it's nothing really to worry about haha.

    Hi everyone! For sale I have an Aurorus Audio Australis that I purchased directly from Aurorus' website on 2/3/2021. They have been used only about 10 hours total and are otherwise in identical shape to when I purchased them. My unit is B-stock. It will include the stock 4-pin mini xlr -> 1/4in...

    Those look great! Tbh, I think the best of all of the Foster OEM headphones is the E-MU Teak, then probably Fostex X00 Ebony. I absolutely love the D2000 though and for the price it's basically unbeatable imo. The purpleheart are great if the one and only thing you care about is sheer bass...

    I've actually owned TH-X00 Purpleheart as well (but I sold those in the Summer). They're great and definitely the bassiest model, but I'd say it comes at a price of muddiness. I actually enjoy the overall sound of D2K with upgraded cups more. Less bloat in the bass which leads to an overall more...

    D2000s are absolutely fantastic. I have a pair that I've put TH-600 cups on / added removable cables and I like them more than these Denon D5200.

    Definitely going to agree with the others, the Foster OEM cans (x00, teak, etc.) are way more comfortable. The hotspot on 5200 headband is kinda awful. I have some TH900 Mk2 coming in soon and so I don't anticipate keeping the 5200, most likely.

    Yeah I have to have them almost fully extended which is unusual for me on a headphone, weird that it was designed this way... I actually think that my old X00 and my D2000 are more comfortable

    I'm not sure what the material is, but yes it's a very thin/flexible plastic. Making them yourself would likely be easy. and @Hyde00 , it's roughly 9.6cm diameter for the 5200 and roughly 10.3cm for the D2000. The closest and easiest thing to D2000 pads would probably be TH-610 pads, there's a...

    I got mine today and started A/B-ing with my upgraded D2000 (SMC mod / balanced cable + TH-600 cups instead of plastic stock). Impressions: D5200 definitely has that Foster DNA and the bass has great extension, but it doesn't hit as hard as D2k. As an experiment, I tried out the D2k pads on...

    update: my status now says "released" and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

    Has anyone who jumped on the $209 deal had their headphones shipped out yet? Mine still says "status: completed" and as far as I know, I was one of the earlier people to place the order. A couple friends of mine who ordered later but got "status: problem" have had their orders cancelled / refunded.

    I ordered mine at 4:30PM EST and haven't gotten any problem messages, just a confirmation and order page. Perhaps it did go out of stock...

    Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!

    Really enjoying my D2000 with TH-600 cups! Quite a slam. Going to do the SMC Connector mod soon and make some custom cables. Also have some TH-610 cups coming soon that I'm looking forward to trying.
