yeah there are still units floating around but takstar themselves have d/c them afaik. am hoping they are gonna make a Version 2 or something along those lines.

I bought mine from this seller.
Original Takstar Pro80 Pro 80studio headphone HIFI noise isolating headphones studio Professional monitoring headset head set

(from AliExpress Android)

Had very good service. I ordered with the additional case. Was shipped separately. First I received the headphones (bubble wrapped) and had to mail for the case to be sent. He did send it. Since both were sent with price below usd 22, 00, I didn't have to pay for Customs.

Really happy with this super great sounding headphones..

Inszy, I understand the bit rate part, but I also thought that the earphones were supposed to have that 10hz to 40kHz frequency range capabilities to be classified as "Hi Res.

Next think is they will be THX and DSD certified....

TWIN

Indeed, you are correct. 10-40k is one of the standards that need to be met - bat ears optional
I believe that the marketing gurus that came up with the standard are hoping folks will think of it like THX
 

  It seems the Takstar Pro 80 has been discontinued? Anyone know of any successors being worked on?

 
Read a post that showed a couple of new models. Damned if I can remember where I seen it. Didn't give much info, but I remember one of the phones had a much more upscale appearance than their previous models

THX Twin, Mr. T, don't think I explained it that way to inszy!
 
I think you are right on the 80's Tamal, I did find someone on AliEx selling a perfect T80 case for $12 but knew if I bought it would mean I would never find a new pair of 80's

You can buy HyperX Cloud - it's Pro80 with better earpads.

Like I said in first post - just marketing.
10hz to 40kHz means nothing at all (pro audio don't have 10hz to 40kHz range). But many people will pay for nice looking logo: "Hi-Res headphones. Certified for dummies"

Are we still talking Hi-Res here or voting for Trump

 

[Inszy]

I don't know. We are talking about hi-res headphones or hi-res certificate?
