What headphones are these? Also a random headphones related question for anyone here. Why are headphones often referred to as "cans"? The only thing I can think of is a game kids used to play long ago with a tin can at each end of a string.

Agree - as one of the best 😃. Equal in price point but also with amplification, The Warwick Bravura sits right up next to them though as far as eStats go.
I feel they both sound special and unusual in different ways but X9000 is more detailed and bigger sounding than Bravura in my memory.

wife and kids are away for 3 weeks! cleaned up the hse, cleared up all the toys and junk, moved the furniture around, and shifted out the big boy toys:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

going to hook up the REL sub and do some measurements for room correction later today. Dec should be a good month if the Raal tube amp and my new dac get delivered on time.

I guess You must love classical music based on your cans. I tried driving Susvara with Primaluna speaker out which turned out to be a disaster lol

classical music is definitely not on my playlist LOL.. years and years of being forced to learn piano when I was a kid completely killed any love for it..!

Oops sorry for wrong guess and your story which is so typical in Asian culture as well lol . Then you use Raal and T+A for Hip hop?

I listen to pretty much everything except rap and classical. I had Susvara before but sold it since I had two driver failures, one soon after the other, and also because I got more enjoyment out of the T+A. I have a few other headphones which I like to rotate too.

Unbelievable setup! I love the wood on your table, is it maple?

@bcowen would say that it has to be maple - it sounds best! 🤣
