Can anyone that has sound ID reference try this and see if it’s an improvement across the board as I have? Use custom eq starting with neutral, add a low shelf at 100hz +0.5db. I also prefer mixed filter, but this might be a separate thing. I didn’t think an eq setting so subtle could provide...

Great condition and clean but doesn't get used enough. Local pickup in bay area (California) is possible too. Includes DUMMER XLR and all original accessories including the 1.1 tuning kit/pads, 1/4" cable, case etc. The most neutral pad (imo) is currently the one in it but easily swappable.

Using Neutrik XLR4 source jack, original Sennheiser HD800 cable terminals, T3 22.5AWG Type-2 Litz OCC Copper. From the Headphone Lounge and never used. Asking $100 OBO CONUS shipped. Located in Bay Area, CA.

I think this also depends on the headphones, how heavy-handed the eq needs to be to push towards reference and how much distortion that may introduce. Some headphones can EQ better than others (usually if it's very low distortion or neutral-ish to begin with, allows a lot more headroom or less...

lol they're supposed to sound more or less the same when using reference 4, since it's supposed to bring them closer to reference frequency response. This is useful as a tool to have consistency when mixing/mastering. As for listening pleasure, True-fi had some bass/treble controls for flavor...

It's the route most tech/app-based pricing is going to have recurring revenue vs one time; many web-apps are already this way. Even Roon is similar if you don't purchase their lifetime membership. As for SoundID, if you purchased True-fi before, I believe you also get a lifetime subscription to...

Reference 4 does go on sale occasionally. It was just on sale recently actually.

For Reference 4, profiles are released less often. It’s more often for their consumer product (used to be True-fi, but recently launched SoundID) which is similar but allows personalized preference on the sound. The individual calibration would have a higher accuracy than an averaged one, so if...

Rubbing alcohol can eat metal?

The cooling gel pads are less stiff than the memory foam ones, and direct replacement. The Brainwavz would not be plug and play. However, I wish I could replace the headband pad with the cooling gel since it's stiff until fully warm.

However, the hd650 he tested it on is fairly high already. Plus wouldn't OI more so affect the frequency response versus volume/power?

Yes, using the balanced out for highest potential performance. I wish they had more specs around this.

It gets loud per se, but not as engaging as on my more efficient he-400S. It even gets "loud" on my sabaj da3 mini dac/amp, but without much bass or dynamics. Also, I'm just curious how it will sound on more powerful or different amps to see if it makes much difference. I hear the hd800 is...

I don't have the 789 yet as it's delivering in august/september. I do have the loxjie p20, which puts out over 300mw at 300ohm. I have hd800's, which are 300ohm cans. Not sure how much power the UD-503 is putting out in that ohm range, but if it's 750mw per channel at 32ohm, I would think it's...

I still have my unit, but trying different amps with it now. I have a thx-789 on order in august and using a loxjie p20 to tide me over.

Actually, my AirPods are connected to my ATV 4 (the standard 1080p one); I have both the 4k and standard but can verify it works on the standard. Tried with glasses on and glad to say it works well. Reminds me of memory foam mattresses or pillows, where it just starts slowly sinking into the...

I use my airpods with Apple TV sometimes and it works. Not sure if it's restricted to Apple ecosystem products only though.

The internal gel layer actually feels initially more firm than the originals (think gel/memory foam pillow versus down). Similarly, it eventually forms to your head and creates a better seal -- to the point that it creates a vacuum. If it were a dynamic driver IEM, it would probably be enough to...

Carbon gel pads on copper:

You can get the cool graphite ones to add a second colorway. I think my copper would look a bit more serious with the graphite pad edges. I'll bet team blue + graphite edges would look nice too. In fact, a graphite mobius plus a touch of color of the blue or copper would look neat too imo.

Can you tell us more about the differences from the original pads, in terms of sound quality changes, eq compatibility, comfort (besides being cooling), and will they come with instructions for swapping?
