it seems the thread is kind of dead, but i try again with another question. i bought a pair of new "stock" pads from thomann, which seem to have an adhesive sticker on them. so if i would put them on, they would be glued to the phones, just as the originals that still are on the ether 2. but...

thank you for your impressions! Can i assume that regarding soundstage depth, layering and tallness they are all about the same?

how could i miss this? thank you for this thread! as many others the super.fi 5 EB were my first hybrid set back in the days and i still find the ue11pro one of the most realistic timbres to find. Sadly but as usual these dont seem to be available in Germany

still didnt come to a conclusion, but have another question: i saw the measurements with different pads, so does either the perforated or the suede change anything regarding soundstage, layering and imaging?

after fw update, mine did another 4 sudden reboots yesterday in a 10 hour session connected to fiios own BTA30pro via APTX HD running in low gain. Two of the times it rebooted into high gain and blew my ears. threw that piece of junk into trash bin immediately and used my Shanling UP4 2022...

i did contact them and i dont have any paypal. also the originals are to my ears already perfectly comfortable and sounding, so any changes will be worse in my book.

i think they could, but honestly i dont think this would be very high on their agenda. we will see. i am usually not into consisting on laws, but this isnt the first time audeze scammed their customers and their products are expensive and arent use once and throw away kind of products, so i am...

yeah but they dont except bank transfer and i saw those pads already, too thick, too large opening and too soft. but i just had a call with a layer friend who will now check possibilities of a legal issue as in Europe there is a law that basically says this: "Manufacturers must provide repair...

i contacted audeze and guess what, they suggested me buying either of those: Brainwavz, CALs, Aliexpress and some generics. I already got all of them yet and none comes close to either sound or comfort (im an on ear guy anyway). specially in soundstage depth, layering and imaging. Basically...

i am trying to update the way it was described. Loaded the bin on my phone, connected the BTR15 via BT with my phone, went to the app and clicked local upgrade. now its already 10 minutes saying "Updating device 0,0%". is that normal? edit: second try seems to work

same, if the device gets bricked tho they probably will say you did it at your own risk

thank you for your reply! Yes, lets keep it on topic., i wont go deeper into this here either. Sometimes when you have followed some trend cycles it is getting annoying and i tend to rant and let it all out tho :sweat_smile: :beerchug:

got them two days ago. have about 16hrs listening to them (no need to burn in, as i bought used) and i am still on the fence between genious and scam. will need a few more days to figure out. What i already can tell is which source i like best using them will suprise you to say the least. more...

interesting! i got mine on munich hifi show 2017 just before this thread opened, but never listened to them except that day i got them. will try them again this weekend! thanks for reminding me having them!

hifi means high fidelity which means as close to reality as possible. it has nothing to do with details, "musical sound" what anyone likes or dislikes. it was about trying to come as close as possible to what you hear when you are standing in front of musicians. no harman mass tastes, not ultra...

sure synergy will finally make the difference if its to ones preferences or not. But no matter which headphone you use, when trying it with both devices one should be able to tell if one is brighter than the other.

did a fast google search for reviews, opened three randomly and scrolled to the sound sections. all three stated that the Oriolus is not neutral, adds warmth and enhances the upper bass and mid bass response. didnt hear it my self though. on the other hand, why would you use tubes if not for...

i did, but you didnt seem to get it. i tried to tell people not to get too crazy about snapdragon marketing...

isnt the angel just brighter sounding than the mojo? this is the first time i read the mojo beeing clinical as it often is said to be "musical" (what ever that means tho). what does "boring" and "lifeless" mean to you in this context?

i dont believe in power. i can drive my 600ohms 89db headphones with 200mw to its full potential. even manufacturers like audeze, hifiman aso will tell you that best is around 250mw for most of their products. its one of those hifi myths that mostly has to do with psychoacoustics but i wont get...

Totally agree! Thank you for coming up with this!

Ah, i see, thanks for clarification!

Imagine this once was a forum for high fidelity headphone gear. I wonder when it was the last time people asked something to get closer to reality in sound. Smh Btw with the headphones that are named on the last couple of sides of this thread the question about losless codecs is pretty much...

honestly i dont know. thats how i understood your post tho :smile:

will power it with a Topping G5 most of the time, as i need the BT flexibility otherwise i use a topping DX3 Pro+. i am only into linear sound signatures in all my devices. no tubes or r2r dacs.
