Mm! Thank you

Ichos FA-12S or xduoo ta26 for hd 8XX, eh?

Seems like what most wanted was a cheap HD800S. Instead we got a different headphone. Better/worse than HD800S? Subjective. Personally I don't know which I would prefer. But I suspect it is the HD 8XX - which I have been enjoying even compared to STAX and some other stuff.

Thank you for your detailed review! I found it very interesting. I also left a little question about amps on the thread of your review

Wow that is crazy. You euros got some things better than us… but not headphone prices apparently 🤪

Not sure how low they could feasibly go considering that part if it is handmade by skilled laborers

btw I think you could always return them to drop, right?

And 700 is even easier. Look for an open box pair on eBay :) Elex is probably a great bet too, and cheaper. I dont doubt that 800S might be better, but 8XX is certainly good as well. Maybe you should look into the elex until you can audition 8– series

Did a frequency sweep with a friend earlier. Audibly speaking (from what we could hear), there was definitely no significant dip at 2khz on my unit. 10khz dip was noticeable for sure.

Rtings: 🤡

LOL people trashing midrange - midrange and vocals sound very good on HD 8XX First impressions of HD 8XX: - Bass: Lacking, honestly, but still enjoyable for my tastes. I love good bass, especially like the textured bass on the LCD-X. Bass is present, and detailed on HD 8XX. - Midrange -...

I bought a pair from the seller from your first screenshot, got mine for 700$

What is standard practice, plug in headphones before amp is on?

Amp is new. Didn't smell any smoke or burning after the click. Amp runs cool to the touch. I don't hear any problems, but dont have anything to compare to.

Unfortunately, no owners manual. Pretty strange, usually one is included.

Hi everyone, I unplugged my headphones from my THX 887 amp yesterday while it was playing music on low gain. Maybe around 11 o'clock. I heard the amp click a second or two later. Protection circuitry? That's my guess. I've been reading all over forums today. Some people say that it can't...
