Fantastic, I'll wait for your thoughts. Or I will get drunk and decide, why f.. not buy another ampThats what im saying!! Apparently the dac in it is only active when using BT which I am fine with but I hear is taboo for a true audiophile.
I will let you know when I get it, 24 days to ship and I have about 8 weeks left on my argons... I have found a few reviews on taobao https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=566323093853&_u=t2dmg8j26111.
My money is on the latter.Fantastic, I'll wait for your thoughts. Or I will get drunk and decide, why f.. not buy another amp
Y’know, I’m wondering how these compare to the Massdrop TH-X00. Anyone?
I've been listening to Argon modded T-X0 and I'm surprise how much better these sound than stock, there's much better treble articulation with these, clearer sounding. It's an improvement from the original crappy sounding Massdrop X Fostex T-X0. It has a bit of a warm tonality with a bit of reverb. Treble doesn't get incisive. I really like the large lambskin ZMF pads, very comfy.
Edit: actually, after listening to some vocals with certain tracks, I notice some odd sibilant peak (but not really harsh, but sounds peaky compared to the other vocal frequencies), so certain vocal tracks gives off the impression that vocal frequencies are not all that balanced tonally, and mids doesn't sound as clear with certain tracks. I think the thick tonality can reduce coherency with certain tracks which sounds a bit congested, not sounding all that clear. So, it's a bit of a mix bag when it comes to how it sounds, some tracks the warm reverb works quite well, but there are tracks that can sound a bit congested due to the warmth.
Still, it's a much improvement from how it sounded stock.
Yes, generally users love their Argons...those that sell them off, it's not because the Argons are bad, it's just not for them.'evening! I'll start reading the thread in the beginning... I'm in Toronto, Canada. When I contacted Modhouse, "Ryan" (owner?) promptly replied and outlined their return/shipping policy outside the USA. I already own 2 cans: a Sony MDR7510... for when I want to listen without pissing off the Missus. And a Senheisser HD650 clone (from Massdrop) for deep listening at my listening nook. I'd like a 3rd headphone! I'm looking for a planar-magnetic headphone. I heard about this company on a YouTube Review (Josh Valour). I want something a little different. I drive my cans with either sstate or tube amps. An Argon Mk3 might fit the bill!
Are users generally happy with their Argons? I was going to pick up a HiFiMan Sundara; however, their build-quality is still iffy (that's too bad).
I have a melon head (large, bald, and pointy). And I wear prescription eyeglasses. What's the clamping force like?
After ~2 years, are users experiencing stress cracks in the headband or electrical-shorts? (I had a PSB 4MU that was god-awful [warranty work unresolved issues]). I baby my gear -- and my headphones remain indoors & coiled away after use (to prevent house panthers' from chewing on cables).
Hey all...
Considering ordering a pair of Mk3s and wondering about power requirements...
Mainly, I use a DAP (Hiby R6 Pro) which outputs 245mW @ 32ohms from the 3.5 headphone jack, and 750mW @32ohms from the 4.4 balanced jack.
Will I be satisfied with these cans running this much power? Future use will also include an amp in a desk setup, but mostly I am looking for a mobile closed back in the $300-$400 range,
and the reviews and recommendations on these Argons from Modhouse are off the charts so I thought I'd give them a go.
Anyone with power specs/requirements... hit me up and let me know. Especially if you have any experience using these cans with a DAP.
Thanks in advance...
The pads are huge and the set doesn't do portable things.
Maybe consider a used Campfire Audio Cascade...
