Come on guys don't leave my hanging, you all said if I did it first you'd do it next ...
Let's see some pictures please 🤣
The cut will set you free !
I used pigtails. I will jump on the learning curve to open up and add 3.5mm mono sockets. Then I can use my Meze 4.4mm balanced cables.

I need a pair of no amplifier needed headphones to watch stuff on my ipad while the wife sleeps, is the sr325x much better for this purpose than a 80x? I have a hd800 and LCDX as mains so it won’t be competing for time with them.

Depends on what you want. The SR80x should be just fine - especially for the price. Though lots of people say the SR325x is worth the money. Still, not sure I'd go with open back headphones of any brand to watch movies/listen to music next to someone sleeping given the sound leak they have. IEMs are better for this kind of use case IMO.

The SR80x leaks heavily. Only if you listen to very low volume. That's my only complaint about it - and maybe the headband is a little smaller than the 80e.

Open back while the wife sleeps is not a good Idea :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:...

325x leak a lot less than 80x and way better but the 80x are very good....if your in the same room as your wife 80x will definitely wake her up.


And anyone in the next room lol
