Thanks for the link! I assumed that the issue was that I was browsing from German eBay, but the behavior seems to be the same no matter which domain I use. Anyways, the link works and I've purchased a pair (I hope they are actually in stock), and I've dropped wang_yifei an e-mail inquiring if...

Reading through this thread a bit more, it seems like they wouldn't be the best choice. I'll be looking for the wang_yifei pads instead (though they themselves do not seem to be selling those pleather ones via eBay any more? I can just see thick sheepskin/memory foam ear pads and those do not...

Ready to join the HD 540 owner's club now! Got me a pair in acceptable condition at a low price, with even the foam intact and the only trouble being that I had to glue one driver dust cover back on. However, it turns out that they did not have the original pads, but instead used amateurish...

Price isn't everything when it comes to headphones! I've heard headphones that cost over 2000 bucks that I would not take over some that cost a tenth of that, simply because they don't match what I like. And you simply seem to enjoy the Sundara more, which is completely fine! Taste is...

Of course, you can use an equalizer! You'll need to work on the exact settings a bit, but maybe add a low shelf up to 400 Hz and another low shelf with negative gain downwards from 40 Hz if you don't want the added subbass. You can play around a bit with the sloping values and gain until it...

Usually semi-open is referring to a closed front volume (between driver and ear) and a open back volume (behind the driver), though it can theoretically also be the other way around. Sometimes people also use the term to mean headphones where the back volume is just "slightly" open, and I think...

I admit that I don't really keep up with the German youtube space much, but he seems quite experienced with headphones. He's not wrong that the Beyerdynamic are designed with studio use in mind, but in the end, what they are suitable for depends on your subjective taste: in my opinion, their...

These are extremely rare! Very nice find! The only electrostatic headphones Beyerdynamic ever made. You'll need the dedicated energizer for them, since electrostatic headphones need a bias voltage to work properly. Here's a video on them: , the guy is really knowledgeable about vintage...

Honestly, if longevity/durability is a bigger concern for you, choosing one of the new Beyerdynamics wouldn't be a bad choice in my opinion. I think the distinction between "professional" and "enthusiast" headphones is most of the time artificial and relatively meaningless. They are definitely...

Hello everyone, I've lurked around here for some time and decided to make an account recently. I bought a DT 700 Pro X back in 2021 and have developed a fascination for headphones after that experience, which quickly led me to acquiring a decently-sized collection of chi-fi IEMs and both...
