Anybody got a source for replacement cables for Marantz MPH-2? All of the recommendations I've been able to find are no longer are no longer available.

Arent they the same cables that Audio Technicas ATH-series use?

If you break off the plastic locking tabs, any 3.5mm cable that will physically fit in the hole will work.

Works like a charm.

Aren't those are 2.5mm? This looks like a 3.5mm. However, the connector has to be skinny to fit in the hole.

That's what I use as well.
EDIT:
The black cable is a little longer, so keep that in mind.

Hello, just wanted to mention I have Sivga SV007's for sale here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sivga-sv007.907860/

$65 shipped from US

 

[raccoon city]

Shipping was a flat $5 for my order in the U.S.
(I finally ordered some Oval Sheepskin Earpads for my JVC HA-S680's.)

I don't know if anyone has posted these yet.
It looks like another Sivga/Bosshifi clone...an 006 with plastic cups. The drivers certainly look similar (I saw a pic of them on reddit) and everything but the cup material looks the same. I went ahead and ordered a set. For $20, why not check them out, right?

What do you drive them with? My Android phone doesn't have enough power, my iPhone barely has. This thing needs an AMP.


Same - what's your source?


The ZX1 is on ear and over ear at the same time. I fancy wearing it for long times.


Yes, others hear absolutely everything.

I feel blessed to have found this forum.

Guys. Like my username, I am a noob but I know I am a reguler audio enthusiast to a certain extent . So this open back ZX1 really need an amp? What is the minimum spec amp required to drive its v-shaped signature?

Hi guys! Are any of these headphones mid-focused? I'm looking for something closed and close to $50 from aliexpress. I looked at the B8, ISK headphones and they all seem either bass heavy, V-shaped or U-shaped. Any ideas?

Do you want mids-forward, euphonic headphones or just clear, perfect mids with natural timbre?
If the answer is mids-forward, euphonic - the answer is BossHifi B8

If the answer is clear, perfect mids with natural timbre - Takstar Pro 82 v2.

Thanks for the reply! I already have the Takstars in my wishlist and I like the look of them. Some people complain of unnatural treble, which puts me off. Other people think they're better than Jesus so I'm not sure. I will consider both the B8 and the pro 82 and see what I decide. Thanks for the voucher link as well.

Are Sivgas worth the extra money over the other two you've listed?

I think they are somewhere between Jesus and Keanu Reeves.
Takstar pro 82 v1 had a treble spike, that was removed in v2: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/tak...scussion-thread.849965/page-122#post-14197897
Poorly mastered/recorded/compressed sounded just as bad as they were mastered/recorded/compressed.
Pro 82 v2 is more forgiving

Never had any Sivgas, they probably are a re-badge of Bosshifi.
I have Bosshifif B6 and B7 too - they are poor sounding compared to B8.

I keep being tempted to get a Bosshifi B8 to try. But between the Pro 82 (balanced) and Marantz MPH-2 (bassy) I'm not sure I have any reason to get another closed set.
