I ordered these 1 day before the 150$ deal. Luckily, I just browsed this thread last night and requested a refund price difference that was granted to my account for 99$.
I’m going to replace the stock cable with a FAW HPC. Would you guys recommend going with the 6.5 termination, or just go with 3.5mm?
got in on the lightning deal! keen to check them out, will be my first open headphone.
unfortunately couldn't order the mediabridge cable at the same time (won't ship to australia). that kabel direct one won't ship to aus either. will use my spare v-moda cable from my M-100 for now...any other recommendations for (cheap) replacement cable?
I ordered an audio-only cable from V-Moda for mine for $12US. Like you, I was using my spare from my M-100 as well. The cable I ordered is very nice and not nearly as stiff as the ones that came with the M-100. The cable that came with the X1 is quite excellent in build and appearance and, truth be told, I cannot really tell all that much of a difference - at least when I am at work. I picked up the other cable automatically because of everything I read about the "horrors" of the stock cable. Perhaps when I take them home this weekend and do some "critical" listening a difference may be heard... Just joking - I listen for fun!
I bought the media bridge wire with it and used it right away instead of the stock wire.
like most things on head-fi the "issues" with the X1 cable are over exaggerated. There is a slight "improvement" in the clarity with the V-Moda cable but I find the X1 loses some of it's character. I prefer the stock cable, but if I'm not listening carefully I can't tell the difference.
After 5 chat rep and 2 emails. The second email rep refunded me $100. Definitely keeping the headphones now. That being said, these are most likely be my end game headphones for a while. What direction should I go for better quality sounds?
I love the headphones but it's not loud enough. I have used it on my android phone, lenovo thinkpad yoga, and on board pc(no sound card).
I'm at school 5-8 hours for 4 days during the week. Should I invest in a portable amp/dac, sound card, or amp/dac? I'm looking to spend less than $200.
I've seen recommendations for Fiio E17 and X3
Email or chat? I showed them that and they still ramble on about can't price adjust for promotion. What did you say to pressure them?

I wouldn't recommend these for use outside of the house either... at least in public places. Their open back design would allow too much outside noise in, plus being open back everyone would also hear what you were listening to! You may be better off using that $200 and getting som IEM's for outside the house.
