Try rotating the pads so that the thicker side is in the front. It creates a gap behind your ears which will boost the bass a little bit. Comfortwise it takes some getting used though.

Amazingly this works! Feels weird at first since now I only feel the pads contact on just the front of the ear and nothing on the back. Not only did it improve the sound for me but it's also not as hot...no more sweaty ears

I’m a happy Diana v1 owner but I’ve got one complaint and this is to also caution those looking to buy a v1, the paint on it chips really easily. I don’t baby my headphones but I do try to take care of them. Thankfully they still sound phenomenal though.

I'm really OCD when it comes to hifi and electronics, and it just pains me to see something like that lol

That picture made my skin crawl.

I plan on getting the Diana. I really hope this isn't a common issue.

No issues with my Diana Phi, or V2 which I had previously. I do handle them with great care though and always put them down on a soft surface.

I figure that the key is not to let the Diana bump into any metal surfaces. I have had this paint issue when my V2 hit my Woo Audio metal headphone stand.

I wonder how much it would cost to get it repainted

 

[Spawn300Z]

Its going to be High. I checked on getting a custom color. The only real change would have been the external speaker housing and they said it would start around $1,000.
So I can imagine a repair.

Their included bag has that zipper that is unavoidable when trying to stuff them in there. Did you use the included bag a lot ?

 

[A Jedi]

The zipper on the bag basically made it useless for me for that exact reason.

 

[bikutoru]

It does looks like a toiletry bag.
If you want to avoid your headphone being stollen, you put them in that bag and nobody will care.

 

[Tachyon88]

for a 3k+ headphone the bag goes great with your high end razors and facial cream.

Whats a good small bag/case that you guys are using instead ? I dont like putting my headphones on stands because of dust. When I use my HD800s I put them back in the case and close it.

Anyone tried the XI Audio Formula S with the Diana's?

 

[seamon]

The Topping D50s + A50s stack is really good with the Diana. The hype behind the new topping gear is justified.

I suspect it might be a bit overkill for the V2, but should be great with the Phi. This is because Xiaudio themselves developed the “lower end” amp, the Broadway amp, to drive the Diana (v1) back in the days.
