MH752 doesn't sound as good as Pro 82, so Pro 82 it is.
Better buy v2 though, to avoid possible v0.9. Or you can just buy Takstar GM200 instead.

What is that v0.9 version?

Do we have a new synergistic “combo” for Pro 82 here?


(Thanks @Aibo for the nice review).

Btw, regarding that issue with volume, I remember @BenF commenting on the strange volume behavior of SMSL iDEA as well (should be controlled from source, rather than with its physical volume buttons). Perhaps unrelated... maybe not exactly for the same reason... but intriguing...

Most likely they are v1 that failed quality control. Usually, one of the drivers is way off.
Safe to assume that all v1 Pro 82 on Aliexpress nowadays are v0.9 - the real v1 sold out completely in the fall of 2017, there can be no new v1 stock.

I found in Amazon the Takstars and it seems to be the v1

If it's a 2.2m cable,could be either v0.9 or v1 (if that store still has stock from 2017). It's a gamble...

See “Where to buy” section in post #1 with an excellent compilation of stores to buy (and those to avoid).

I'm using the Takstar Pro 82's with the Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro on my PS4 and PC.

Sounds great on both systems.

Hey guys, i'm thinking of buying the GM200, but first i was looking for a DAC/AMP, do the S.M.S.L M3 is a good one to start with? I live in Brazil and the taxes around here are insane so i need to buy in aliexpress and i can pay 80$ on it.

Hi guys, I own a Takstar Pro 82 V1 since March 2018 (from Headphoniaks), it was recommended to me as a good pair of headphones for the price. For me was a big step up since i mainly was using low cost in ears and razer stuff. Now i own SHP9500 with fiio E10k in home for gaming, Sound Peats Q35 for running, and the Pro 82 for music at Work.

So i was searching a reading stuff about the Pro 82 i and came across this thread, i already read the first 100 pages and the last, lets say 10 pages of this thread, and realise that i'm not using this headphones at their full potencial, manly because i just plug them straight to my imac. I'm not an audiophile guy but i love to listen to music (8 hours a day). What Amp and Dac should i get? i only found the SMSL Idea on Amazon for 85 euros and the O2 i found 2 versions (in Headnhifi im from europe), the portable +/-120€ and the desktop version +/-145€. The P10 and the EL-D01 are much more cheaper, but if the diference between the 2 combos is big i don't mind to pay the extra.

Thanks

It's definitely proven to be a great combo. I'm using it these days for gaming, YT, video editing... too lazy to use an extension cord to my main Burson Playmate DAC/AMP.

BTW, I've got Schiit Magni 3 but it's still in the box... gonna try this DAC+Magni 3+Pro 82 combo this weekend.

It really depends what kind of sound you prefer.
If you want to hear the music with 100% natural representation, go for Idea+O2 (portable, 1.0x/3.3x on high gain) .
If you want a little more fun, tube-like sound with thicker notes - go for P10+EL-D01.

Both sound great, there is no wrong choice - just a matter of preference.

 

[ARPortugal]

Just order the P10+EL-D01, total cost 73€, now just need to wait until they arrive.

Weird, I bought another Lusya DAC, paid 3 times as much - the sound is worse than straight out of laptop...
Just goes to show how little price or using newer/"better" components has to do with sound quality.
