Hey guys, 
 
My X1 is up for sale here if anyone is interested. 

 

[gdourado]

Out of curiosity... Anyone had the chance to compare the X1 to the Mad Dogs 3.2?
How would you describe such comparison?

Cheers!

Maybe Mad Lust Envy's thread as he's reviewed both?

I'd like to upgrade the cable on my X1's - the V-Moda Audio Only cable that appears to be the standard replacement for the X1 is too short for my needs.  Can anyone recommend another high quality-for-the-buck cable in the 8-10 ft. range?  Budget is $50 max.  Prefer 1/8in / 3.5mm plug.

 

[Rimbaud]

Well I did some reading in the Mad Lust Envy gaming thread and decided to order the Mediabridge cable from Amazon.  I preferred the looks/specs of the Fisio S-Flex cables (on Amazon UK), but it didn't look like shipment to the US was possible.

Rim, You can easily make a nice cable to under $15 and it'll probably be better than anything Amazon might offer.

A couple of 1/8" TRS connectors and any length you want of Mogami cable such as Mini Quad 2893.

Even save more with Canare mini star quad L-4E5C. Strip it down with a razor and sleeve in your favorite color/pattern 550 paracord, and you've got a quality cable that's light and flexible.

You can get everything you need in single cable quantities off eBay.

You can even invest $30 on some cheap soldering tools/supplies, if you don't have them already to get the job done just fine and be ready to make some more in the future.

Anyone looking to sell? Missing my X1's already and have some free cash now, looking to spend $175 give or take depending on condition and whatnot.

Been enjoying a bit of Chris Cornell on the 'ol X1's in his various incarnations. Man, these things X1's sound good... and so do these tunes on them!

I really don't know where the myth of these cans not needing amplification came from. I am typing from an ASUS G73SW with realtek audio and it turns into a distorted mess at higher volumes, and the base volume is very average. Even my gf's 4yo Macbook Pro was better for this. And from my Ipod Touch 4 they also don't reach very high volume.

I feel like an idiot for believing what I was told just like that.

 

[conquerator2]

You know, easy to drive from something at least remotely made for headphones... Realtek it is not.

I suspect the same applies to the ipod touch then? Because I also mentioned that.

If neither of these things fall into the range of things that supposedly are sufficient to amp something that I was told 'needs no amplification to shine' then I consider myself misinformed.

My re-400's sound a lot better off these. Fortunately I have an Aune t1 under way.

Well I used the little Clip+. That thing must be more powerful then as it had no trouble driving it.
I'd blame Apple but I'll leave that to someone else

I really want to like these cans. But they keep failing no matter what I throw at them. If the Aune T1 doesn't do it, I'll sell them and keep my Senns HD600 for the new amp.
