Thanks! Yes, I see a lot of units on sale mainly in European countries. But shipping here will be pretty expensive, so I'm quite lucky that the seller couldn't sell it and it was still available. And also that he was relatively responsive. Sometimes I don't understand how can people sell their things, but never check their messages for weeks on end!
Really? I listen to them in my recliner though hahah! But I have a problem where it feels like it's a bit... un-impactful? And lacking a little bit in balance, unless I press them against my ears, like how you see some singers press the phones against their heads. I don't want to have to keep doing that though, so I'm thinking of sewing a little magnetic buckle strap to lightly tighten the headphones around my ears so that isolation is better. I think this would be a lack of clamping force? First time I experience this on any headphones.
I refurbished my Massdrop X Hifiman HE4xx headphones. The seller broke the headband and stripped the screw. I got it from him for approx USD$28.5. I managed to remove the screw, spray painted it blue, replace the earpads and headbands and now have a custom blue HE4xx pair. But before the headbands arrived, I strapped the thing to my head by wrapping it around my head, my mother laughed at me but at least I got to hear what planar sounded like
The thing about listening to old music, my idea of old music is those from the 90s since I grew up in that time period hahaha! But I do listen to some old Hong Kong music since those are the songs I heard growing up with my mother playing and singing them. Heard some eagles and Japanese songs from that period too, but I haven't heard Chicago yet. Not much music I listen come from the era the AKG K340 was produced in
