    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

    I ordered this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dyson-Audio-Hifiman-Oppo-PM-1-2-NightHawk-Astell-Kern-2-5mm-TRRS-Cable-1-25M-/112490026677?hash=item1a30ed96b5:g:JBIAAOSwExZZcf6A Great for my needs - simple. It should work as is, but I'd mention in a note when you buy it that it's for the Teaks. The...

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

    Chan confirmed receipt of my payment on 12/13/16 (I paid on the 12th), the headphones shipped out on the 27th, I got them on the east coast on the 30th. I was actually very surprised at how quick it was, though it was still about 2.5 weeks. Chan was always very responsive with me, though he did...

    I'm in the northeast as well, got my Teaks in early January and haven't seen any cracking so far (fingers crossed).

    https://www.massdrop.com/buy/dekoni-premium-earpads-for-fostex-th-x00 Anyone else get in on this yet? I just placed an order for the fenestrated sheepskin, at least one person in the discussion said they're fantastic on the Teaks.

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

        I'm wondering if the issue is with my pair in particular, or if the quality control on the Teaks is just all over the place. Even with the original cable, the red and black connectors each fit slightly differently into the headphones. Both are reasonably secure, but there's a distinct...

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

    So looks like Redco won't be making cables for the Teak headphones anymore. I received a custom cable from them a couple days ago after they thought they got the issues worked out, but the connector keeps detaching. They are very graciously giving me a refund, but added that they're not...

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

    Just got this email from a guy at Redco - I ordered a cable over two weeks ago and hadn't received or heard anything until I reached out this morning:   Anyone else here waiting on a cable or get one and have issues with it? Just curious.

      Did you ever receive that cable from Amazon? I never went through with the other one... If yours works I'm probably just going to go that route.

      Ah, I see. I'll give that a shot.

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

      Thanks, I had seen other people suggesting that site. I just tried to put together a cable: http://www.redco.com/Custom-Cable.html?cableid=sbrdmY   Good price, I feel pretty unsure about it all though. The different options are confusing, and I don't really have any idea what it's going to...

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

    Anyone know where I can find a good replacement cable that is less than 3-4 ft. and reasonably priced (less than $50)? Looking through the discussion on Massdrop makes it seem like there aren't actually a ton of options that work reliably - something about them not utilizing the "Sleeve" part of...

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

      Yeah, I kept having second thoughts every time I would look at pics of the TH-X00s, but after finally having them in person, that is no more. The teak cups, and their finish, are really beautiful.       I don't have much to compare it to. At some point I'll see what differences I can...

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

        Hahaha. Sorry, I didn't take them off my head until I went to bed last night - it's true love. Here's a quick set. I'm not much of an photographer, tried to get a couple different lightings with my phone though...

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

    Just reporting that the Teaks (w/ removable cable) I ordered directly from Chan have arrived! They shipped on the 27th, only took 3 days to get from Singapore to East Coast US, and right before the weekend too.   I wouldn't call the packaging fantastic... dinged up, thin cardboard box with a...

      Thanks for the tip! Any chance you have a picture of how they look on your Teaks? Very curious; the pads are reasonably priced too, $40 on Amazon.

    He responded within 24 hours each time I reached out to him. I placed my order a week and a half ago.

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

      Wow, this is great to know. So - TL,DR: if I think the stock pads are uncomfortable, the ZMF Eikon pads offer a huge increase in comfort with little-to-no compromise in sound quality? Any chance you have a picture of how they look on the Teaks?

    E-MU Wooden Series Headphones

    Haha, thanks. I'll probably stick with the stock pads - I just like the way they look, at the least. But maybe after a bit I'll order a rosewood cup and a different set of pads just to try other things out. Any recommendations?

    Just ordered the Teak with removable cable directly through Chan, it was $530 including shipping. He said I can expect them to ship it out around the 27th, to arrive in the US a week later. Can't wait - it'll be my first new set since I got my HD600s in 2011!
