From the looks it doesn't look long enough. For custom SR1 cables one cable guy I contacted mentioned it would need to be "mmcx long tube for recessed socket". But hard to tell from Meze pics. It doesn't look long enough and/or it is too wide.

... and Meze cable has pre-shaped earhook (doesn't look like a memory wire) which is another no-no, you need a straight cable attachment to mmcx connector housing for SR1.

Sr1's soundsignature is nicely between the hd800 and lcd-3. If I had to sell one, or keep just one I honestly don't know which one it would be.

I have 3 different ear pads I use. You can get most any sound you want out of the SR1. I have never heard such a headphone that could morph in such a way and still be musical. I have the stock pads, PT1 and PT1 highly perforated. All different all can really change the sound according to what you want.

I upgraded my DAC from Denafrips Ares to Spring DAC and I'm even hearing more of what the SR1 can do, especially in terms of soundstage width.

You mention the HD800 (a fav of mine) and the LCD-3 (never heard) but have considered on many an occasion. I'm not rushing out to buy anything but those two would be on my short list of any new additions. I love the fact that the SR1 is making my life easy as I'm not in an active hunt for supplementation and definitely not for a replacement.

Just curious, is it called iBasso because it is bassy?

Just jumped on the train and ordered a refurbished SR1 at Headphoniaks :)
Are there big differences between PT1 and Brainwavz XL fenstrated pads? Curious too about how the SR1 compares to Massdrop THX00 and E-MU Teak. If there is some info I would be glad to hear

Does anyone want to sell me their SR1? :sweat_smile:

Now that the funding is available it is of course out of stock. This is def a long shot but worth a try!

I saw that and sent the link to Paul asking if they're legit - seems like they might be? What do you think? Also don't wanna wait for a response and have them sell out by then lol
They are fulfilled by amazon, so that should give you return options, right ?
