    Comment by 'Hifihedgehog' on listing '[SOLD] [USA-MI] [H] Elysian Annihilator 2021 [W] PayPal G&S'

    I am glad you had a happy accident in the immortal words of Bob Ross. Unfortunately, that is normally not the case. On the majority of sales platforms, most fraud purchases occur under new accounts with no history or feedback. I am a member of the eBay seller council and I can conservatively...

    Comment by 'Hifihedgehog' on listing '[SOLD] [USA-MI] [H] Elysian Annihilator 2021 [W] PayPal G&S'

    As noted in the thread title, there is a sale pending to someone else already. Also a note to others. Anyone else with zero message history and little or no trades on their account will be ignored.

    They truly are a unique piece of hardware and for good reason hold the top spot on several top IEM experts' ranking lists. The gold finish by the way looks even better in person and the photos don't do them justice.

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    :face_palm: Peaky? Oh boy. This is a common misunderstanding of neutrality I notice among IEM users who have grown accustomed to the notorious "IEM veil" or rolled off sound of IEMs in comparison to headphones and speakers. So when they are faced with actual neutral treble response that extends...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Just as a heads-up to everyone, I listened to my ZAX's with small size SpinFit CP145's. My ears are small so except in rare cases were extra small tips are included, most IEM tips will mute the sound. The SpinFit's fix that problem for me, improving an already outrageously detailed and resolving...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    These don't even sound remotely close to the real thing. They sound way better that what that recording. The only way is throwing down the cash. And no, these aren't overhyped KZs. I have a set of overhyped KZ's from two years ago, one of their very early models (it was given to me by an eBayer...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    You will love 'em. I certainly do! I just listened to this Brazilian Pop Rock song Recomeçar by Restart, a guilty pleasure of mine. I use this track as a treble test of sorts to gauge a headphone's ability to resolve treble detail and its tendency to harshness. Harsh headphones will grate...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Not to be overly repetitive, @Freetrademan's post hits the nail on the head for these KZ ZAX's and I was very skeptical of his claims going in. Talk about giant killers! KZ has come a long way from where they were just a couple years ago and they are way better than the DUNU products out there...

    Well, I own both and will be receiving the ZAX tomorrow, so I will let you know more as I discover the differences.

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Now that the one-month honeymoon is over, how is everyone here liking their ZAX's? After reading completely through a few dozen pages of your reactions, I am feeling fairly confident that these will be a solid buy. Currently, I am the proud owner of ZS 10 Pro's that I like quite a bit in many...

    The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)

    An easy way around Amazon’s price adjustment policy is to buy the same item again at the new lower price. Then return that newly delivered item in the place of the older item for the initial older order so you get funded for the higher price. The only drawback here is this hack ties up your...

    The Denon AH-D5000 - My latest HeadRoom purchase

    I have found the impression of accentuated bass comes more from headphones naturally possessing a super-stereo effect. That means if bass sound sources are panned more to the left or right, they can seem overly focused and distrating on the side channels. In a mono recording or via a corrected...

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I will throw this out there. At long last, I finally acquired a T1 Gen 1, serial 11101, and I could not be any happier. Contrary to what some may say, the extreme treble extension (10 KHz+) is superior to the likes of the HD 800, where cymbals, air and edges are more finely and crisply defined...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    I really wish that they would change the crossfeed implementation to the Meier crossfeed that Foobar2000 uses. The current algorithm sounds off and I would greatly prefer having a crossfeed instead of having to always enable one by selecting software that explicitly features it like MPC-HC and...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    Just a quick question: Why hasn't Radsone yet brought 24-bit USB audio support for the ES100 to Windows? Host devices definitely aren't a roadblock from a strictly hardware perspective. In fact, macOS-based Hackintosh instantly enabled 24-bit audio over USB. If they could just release a Windows...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    Pro tip: You can easily upgrade the Wi-Fi cards in many of these motherboards (those on many laptops, as long as the cards are whitelisted, and practically all desktops) since they use standardized PCIe M.2 Key E M.2 2230 Wi-Fi cards. I upgraded my ASUS ROG STRIX X470-I GAMING from a Realtek...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    For those with Windows laptops that have Intel Wi-Fi cards, here is a quick and simple driver package (compliments of Dell) that provides Apt-X support. I stumbled on this in Reddit a few months ago and it turns out that since Intel has changed little in their Bluetooth stack, this custom Apt-X...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

    It is very easy to just place the edges of the dust cover over the black plastic that is underneath the cushion by pushing that dust cover in quickly. This is wrong. The edge of the dust cover needs to be pushed carefully beyond that point, so that its entire circumference or edge is carefully...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

    I have been proudly owning the HD 800 for several months now and wanted to share an important observation I made when reinserting the dust cover after doing a cleaning. Correct me if I am wrong, but do not replace the dust cover into the earpiece without making sure to slide the entire...

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    Allow me to step in and answer as I owned both the HD 700 and T90 and—coincidentally—I am looking into possibly owning the T90 again. Of the two, the T90 is easily the more detailed and the more engaging or Grado-like and the HD 700 is warm and reserved. The only reason the HD 700 may initially...

    Fiio EX1 2nd Gen

    I have never heard the EX1000 so I cannot say. I can, however, say without a doubt that the EX1 2nd Gen is very, very close in performance to the DUNU DK-3001. The only difference I could note was that the last little bit of bass extension on the DK-3001. Then again, the DK-3001 is a $499...

    Fiio EX1 2nd Gen

    Then in your case, it appears to be a preference thing. Some people happen to like unique non-ideal frequency responses, which is perfectly understandable. For example, there are Head-Fi'ers to this day who swear by the Beyerdynamic DT 48. However, it measures terribly and for that reason, most...

    Fiio EX1 2nd Gen

    That is strange to say the least and the exact opposite of what my ears are telling me. I would call the bass in the EX1 1st Gen more intrusive, along the lines of what this user found. For a time, I had access to two separate pairs of EX1 2nd Gen (my own and a family member's), and both...
