I've recently become the proud owner of a pair of HE4XX's. I had been using the Koss KPH30i's for my work setup until now and didn't need a dedicated headphone amp. Onboard sound from my computer is loud enough for most songs when I plug the headphones into the USB-C port with the Apple USB-C...

Hi everyone I just got the Massdrop O2s for my HE4xx from eBay. There's nothing on the amp itself that suggests if it's the Standard Gain (2.5x Low, 6.5x High) or Medium Gain (1.0x Low, 3.3x High) version. Is there a way to know that from the Amp itself? Also is the medium gain version (1.0x...

I just bought the HE4xx and I saw posts about people swapping the pads on it. In the brief time that I spent trying to remove them, it felt that I was going to rip the pads. If anyone could give a insight on how do this it would be much appreciated. Lastly what pad change would be recommended...

Please recommend me under $400 headphones that sound different from Audioquest Nightowl that I can enjoy with the type of music I listen to. Thank you! I'm looking at: HD 600 HD 650 HD 6xx HD 58x HE 4xx AKG K712 I got into this hobby with a demo model Audioquest Nightowl, O2 amp and...

Hi, I have the Massdrop HE-4XX headphones, but the cable that it came with is really short and I need something that's at least 3m long. These headphoens have 3.5mm connectors on both ends and strangely enough, I haven't been able to find any cables with 3.5mm male connectors on both ends! The...

I posted this in the portable forum before seeing the "post your questions in the recommendations forum" at the top of the page, then I still accidentially put it here.... Uggh. Repost here per instructions. I used to read and follow the can news back in 2010 and 2011 but was completely out...

Hello all, I'm a new member to Head-fi, but I've been lurking here for a while. I have experience with some nicer speakers, but not headphones. Unfortunately I won't be able to use my speakers anymore. :disappointed_relieved: I listen to a lot of different music but focus more on jazz and...

Hello world. Reading headfi since 2 months, I should thank the lg v30 that let me know more of this high quality audio planet: I noticed some months ago that listening spotify with my headphones doesn't engage me anymore so I ve started to listen less music, when I had read bout lg dac and high...
