My package has arrived in my country, its currently as fast as Amazon
I ordered one and convinced two others people to do same after reading this thread =)

Wow, you haven't even heard Pro 82 yourself, and already convinced two other people to buy them? Well done!
I guess all that's needed is to read comparisons to 10-20-30 times more expensive headphones linked in the second post.
Or just look at the frequency response comparison with the 1700$ Fostex TH900MK2 a few posts above - that's a picture worth a thousand words.

Please post your impressions when you'll get them.

I broke my Pro 82s and am so sad. They were my favorite headphones ever.

Guess I'll be ordering another set.

Well, at least I still have the case, so I can save some money.

Great choice! Silver does look very premium, like something B&O would make, not a chi-fi product.

I love the way the silver look. All black headphones look boring to me.

I have a silver Pro 82 v2 I could sell if you're in the US and haven't ordered already!

Ordered a pair from the Takstar store on Aliexpress a few weeks back, now we play the COVID waiting game. They left China on April 18th, hopefully they arrive soon.

I've been waiting on a few phone cases from Ali as well, those took off 3/15 and are listed as still in the air as well, so...

TakstarAudio or Takstar Official?

If the latter, would be worth hearing your feedback on the product as that's a relatively new store, and we don't know exactly what they're sending.

It was through TakstarAudio

I have both SHP9500 and Takstar 671 (as well as the closed 670). SHP9500 is better than 671, but Pro 82 is even better - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/tak...ns-and-discussion-thread.849965/post-14967442

thanks a lot!
i find ads for 671 at USD 30 where the SHPs are USD 100. Will look into the takstar pro 82 then.
how about isk MDH9000, any good?

Don't have MDH9000, but I do have their top of the line HD9999 - at 65$, it's strictly for bassheads.
I saw a lot of people complaining about MDH9000 build quality, e.g.:

My takstar pro 82 headphones arrived after 12 days to the UK with no customs charges!! they sound much better than the ones from amazon! thank you for the suggestion 100% happy I made the choice I made. These ones sound cleaner than some £100+ headphones I have tried at the small price of £43 I don't know what to say other than, buy these if your looking for the best budget headphones, you can't go wrong! the only issue I have with these was the 6.5mm adapter as I was clumsy knocked it and it snapped in half but they work fine using the 3.5mm connection anyway. The materials used on the 6.5mm could be better but the focus here was clearly the headphones as they are amazing!

Wow, that's fast even before the Corona - was it Aliexpress standard shipping?

Another sign that stores selling the 2.2m version are selling headphones that failed Takstar quality assurance, and not the proper v1.
The real v1 shouldn't sound too different from v2:

thank you for the suggestion 100% happy I made the choice I made.

You are welcome!

In Pro 82 v2, the 6.5mm adapter is no longer part of the package, TakstarAudio puts it in as a free gift. I guess it's just some generic one, not the same quality as the original Takstar one.


Next step would be to buy the Little Bear P10 amp with the ELE El-D01 DAC - the only currently available synergy combo.

Yeah it was Aliexpress standard and it was unreal how quick it was!

That makes sense as the adapter included is no longer functional as it snapped, but this doesn't make a difference, I have never heard anything so clear in terms of headsets!

Something I may look into, although im not really sure what this does? i currently own the syba sonic amp/dac which works rather well. What benefits would this combo suggestion make? thanks for your reply!
