My signature for fuzzor mod. Cheers.

I felt odd doing the anaxilus mod on an $1100 headphone. I'd feel absurd modding this, especially if I could tear the diaphragm with a sneeze.

For those of us with 10 thumbs, not even a consideration!

If we have to mod the headphones, which will cost three thousand dollars, to make sound correct the headphone itself is not worth it from the start.
 
I really hope Dr. Fang adjusts the headphones again if treble is becoming an issue.

If there is one objective truth in high end audio, it is that a high price does not promise perfect sound, or even freedom from major flaws.

+1 Well said sir I would rather drill out my own cavities, than personally mod such an expensive headphone.

Are the HE1000 users here running them balanced by any chance? Thanks. Balancing seems to calm my HD800s and HE560s with different amps.
Oh, can you tell me if the supplied cables are separate 1/4 inch, 1/8 inch and XLR cables, or is it 1 cable with adapters? Thanks.

Will try with rag in balanced mode when mine arrives.

Well, for 3K headphones I really would not accept "major" flaws tho. But I do understand nothing can be perfect for everyone.

I think purrin is being very pedantic, he Isn;'t stating any "Major" flaws and says it is a great headphone; which is a big step above how other headphones are at stock for him

There isn't a headphone out there, regardless of price, that has gone unmodded. Take a look at Purrin's Abyss. $5k doesn't buy you a perfect headphone either. Thankfully FR is the easiest thing to fix/deal with. It's the other things that are difficult to modify.

Supplied cables are separate. And I imagine we'll see a mix of balanced and SE use based on the amps everyone is using in their collection.

Hey peoples ... how long are these cables? Forgot to measure when I demoed the phones.

would rather have extended highs than a noticeable treble roll-off (looking at you audeze). really looking forward to giving this can a listen.

I feel like from a resolution standpoint, this appeals to a lot of people. What I will say, though, is that a treble roll-off never HURT anyone's ears, which I why I tend to be more ok with that.

I'd say something between the LCD-3 and the HD800 would be nice, but then again...that's what everyone says xD

reproducing treble in a headphone is a balancing act. but if i'm noticing a treble roll-off then the headphone designer/manufacturer hasn't struck the right balance to my ears.

 

[Decoy]

  The beta units have been burned in at factory, and also personally inspected by Dr. Fang.
 
With that said, he believes that the issues with treble may be fixed over time as the diaphragm settles. You may notice quite an evolution over the course of the burn-in period.
 
To that end, just put on the headphones and enjoy.

 

Does this mean that Dr. Fang thinks there is an issue with the treble?
