The pads for the SR2 and SR3 are the same (both pad versions). I got spare pads directly from iBasso a while ago, but don't see the pads listed on their website.
Where can I source new pads for my SR2? I'm after the stock pair that come installed on the SR2. I'm still using this headphone almost daily. Aside from a custom set I had built, these are still at the top of my arsenal, including cans that costed considerably more. I have the new closed back Aune on my radar.
I just want to chime in here a bit... While it is open, it doesn't leak sound like some other open backs (Hifimans for instance). So it is something you can take with you on the go, though I might not use it in a quiet library. If there is just enough ambient noise, it may not be picked up by the people around you. For those that do want to take them outside, I highly, highly recommend the Muse Ultra M5 in vacuum tube mode. This combination sounds wonderful!
Hello, The ibasso sr3 is available for 500 euro from ibaso europe. So have been looking at it for a while, first vs the meze 108 but now that the 105 has come out versus that one.
Has anyone been able to compare these two headphones directly?
Thanks in advance for any info,
Greetings, Anouk,
I use the Sony R-10, Utopia and the SR3 a lot. All different, all enjoyable. The SR3 gets the most detail, the R-10 and Utopia are smoother but that is because they don't pull out all of the tiny details. At 600 dollars the SR3 is on the same level, just a different sound but big and open line the $-10 and $topia. :^) Oh, and timbre, which I value is good on all three and I play the violin and harmonica so I also hear real live music/sounds.
Most details from the sr3, interesting. What meant to say is sr3 comparison to any zmf. Bokeh looks the closest cost wise. I just bought the he1k with the intention to return it just to compare with the sr3. Had the he1k on back order previously but cancelled it as the earcups are apparently huge on the hifiman. To which I have a small head. But I’m going to test drive one properly rather than assume. And the Arya half price of the he1k, wondering if the war up sizes are the same on the hifiman. Whilst I’m still very very much in awe of the sr3 performance for the price (only paid £180 for them) they are going to be very difficult to upgrade, or even sidegrade. The only others I’ve been thinking about is the lcd-4.
