I've been away from my SR2 and SR3 for three whole months! Oh, how I missed these pillows on my head. I will never become tired of these two headphones. Never!
They allow me to enjoy music. That's what it's all about. I wrote all my thoughts in my reviews, but I thought I'd share this warm moment with everyone here.

Agreed. Thanks for the reminder. It’s been a minute for me too. I think I’m going to bring mine to work. I’ll get a bunch of desk time there.

Comprei o meu SR2 e testei-o contra o Fidelio X3 e o Neumann NDH30.

Impressões;
Em relação ao Fidelio X3, o único melhor no SR2 são os graves, que são profundos e os agudos são maravilhosos, a transparência é melhor no SR2, os médios, os agudos, o palco sonoro e a imagem estéreo são melhores no Fidelio X3.
Em comparação com Neumann, os graves são profundos e os graves altos são maravilhosos, a transparência é melhor no SR2, os médios, os agudos, a altura do palco sonoro são profundos e a imagem estéreo é melhor no Neumann.
O SR2 tem um palco sonoro muito pequeno, sem profundidade e altura, pior ainda que o meu Denon 5000 (fechado).
O desempenho geral é OK, mas é como se o palco sonoro fosse paralelo vertical e não profundo, também não há espaço entre os instrumentos, Neumann e Fidelio são melhores por uma grande margem nesses aspectos. Eu gosto apenas do baixo por causa do driver bio. Então o preço/desempenho não é bom em usd300 estará ok, agora estou interessado no AUNE AR5000, vou comprar e testar, se alguém quiser comprar meu SR2 com no máximo 5 horas de uso, entre em contato comigo.
Has anyone else compared the SR2 vs Aune AR5000?

If you have any links to reviews comparing the two headphones,

I would like to hear your opinions on them.

Hi, I had both, sr2 is very transparent sound, narrow soundstage almost like a closed back , treble is emphasis is relatively high and bass is not too big is most flat response. AR5000 is best all around ; big soundstage, great great mids, really good texture, treble is also really good not spicy, but splashing. Bass is the only thing that made me decides to selling, is not so pronounced and full, so if the AR5000 would have more bass could be a really keeper but if you want a clear bass and not many sub bass ( is like Fidelio X3 bass) maybe could be a great dealer for you. I eq all my headphones and even with +4 db was not the kind of bass like the Neumann NDH30 or Fidelio x2 or Hifiman XS. I recommend Monolith M1570 great great great headphone , silky mids, excellent bass fuller clean and vivid dynamic presentation, treble is really fine tuned and soundstage is big, for usd400 is one of the best experiences, I had the M1070 also is a really good headphone. I have Empyreans save Into the box and on sale, my Monolith M1570 has all better for me at least

Hi, I still love my SR2, but at the moment they disassemble by itself. Anybody knows, how I can tighten the screw, you see in the picture?

Just moving the headcups is not enough. There is not enough space to put in a torx. How can I remove the headcup or it there another way to fix this?

The SR2 is still my favorite headphone! I've been blessed enough as an author to listen to some very fine headphones. For me, the SR2 is unbeatable for its price. It's this hidden gem that feels almost exclusive to this community. Writing the SR2 and SR3 reviews has given me so much joy, but enjoying these headphones in private is a true luxury. I'm just happy to see that I'm not alone in this, and that people like yourself cherish it equally as much!

You're running into a problem I ran into myself. I don't thing I ever managed to get that screw tightened, and you probably need to purchase some very low profile (maybe even right-angled) torx screwdriver. In any case, shoot Paul an email (paul@ibasso.com), maybe he can give you more useful advice.
