Smart phones, especially Samsung ...
I am bloody annoyed. I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 (6.1inch screen) and security, battery and photography wise it's a turd! Don't get me wrong, it is reliable, very reliable. It get's updates, even if they are a little late compared to others. I love the form factor, I like the Android interface...- drummerman1

Drop Sennheiser HD660 S2
... down to $399. $15 international shipping. You may (or may not) be hit with import duty. I didn't pay any on my 58X but could have been lucky. If no import taxes are levied it's Euro price would be the lowest around equalling approx. Euro 382 at todays exchange rate. If hit with duty it...- drummerman1

EQ/Tone controls
Do you use Roon or a similar platform with DSP/EQ options? Perhaps your amplifier/DAC has tone controls. Do you use them or do you prefer the pure, un-adulterated, baby faced sound of your sources and headphones?- drummerman1

Do you apply Xfeed?
Both my Mojo2 and Roon allow me to apply Crossfeed and I use this across my HP's. So much so that I wouldn't enjoy listening anymore without. It just seems much more natural and easier to listen to. Do you?- drummerman1

HD25 or HD6XX
In my quest to widen my humble collection of low value phones I am considering the above two. The HD25 because I mentioned this recently in a thread. I listened to them many years ago, thoroughly enjoyed them (!) but didn't get on with the fit. There now is a 'light' version available with the...- drummerman1

Forgotten little treasure; Samsung Galaxy Buds Live ... 'the beans'.
The following is of course in my opinion only, you may disagree and more than even full size headphones, this kind of 'in ear' (it isn't ... quite) is dependant on good fit. I am not a headphone expert, I don't spend thousands on them and my love lies more with speaker based Hifi (currently...- drummerman1

Many do them ... should they?
It's no secret, manufacturers do 'silent' revisions/updates to products. Reasons could be parts availability, change of production technology or/and review/test feedback. This seems more (but not exclusively) widespread with some Chinese manufacturers which seem to release products to be 'field...- drummerman1

EQ or mods
Personally I EQ all my headphones to taste (Roon makes that very easy with different profiles, as does does Chord's Mojo2, though slightly less so with no profiles). It's eminently adaptable, easily reversible and fun. No headphone is perfect. I see many weird and wonderful ways folks...- drummerman1

How often do you swap Headphones in/out?
Most here have multiple HP's. When and how often do you change? Personally, I don't change them according to genres but every one to two weeks.- drummerman1

Yamaha YH-5000SE
Yamaha's flagship Phone. Absolutely superb. I had the pleasure of listening to it at the Bristol Hifi Show. Imho it stands up to Focal's Utopia 2022. Build quality is outstanding too. It shows what they can do...- drummerman1
