Hold your horses, this may not be the bees knees I hoped it was.

The cup size has changed things I am expecting.

Just saw this on Takstar's website - HF 580. I guess it's what became of the HI 3050 - the planar that was never released.

Or maybe they are about to release it?

Got a pair of headphones a couple of days ago. I listened for an hour and was pleased, but began to notice that in the left earpiece the bass was playing louder than in the right one. I turned on the test bass track and the channel imbalance was clearly audible and the right earpiece had a rattling defect at bass frequencies below 80Hz. I connected my Audio-technica M40X and everything in them sounds without imbalance and without defects, clear bass sound. I was very disappointed because I liked the sound of the Pro 82 and it’s amazing how for such little money they play no worse than m40x and Shure SRH 440 with which I had a chance to compare them.
anywhere i can buy a separate right speaker for takstar and make repairs?

I may get into your story a bit late, but I found channel imbalance issues on most Audio Technica M50X, M40X and M70X I tried so far and always thought that it's related to the left cup that receive all amplification before distributing to the slave driver in the right cup.

Yesterday, I ordered the Pro 82 hopping that it won't suffer from this issue, then I just read your comment and it's getting me worries now

I came across with this writing (https://medium.com/@Xander51/hatred-in-the-audiophile-community-dbce4eff53ce )by Alex Rowe from Medium.com and i thought that this part might be good to share here.

One time, I gave the Takstar Pro 82, a great little budget headphone, a positive review. But the ardent fans of this product on Head-Fi weren’t having it, and one staunch defender of them said that among other things that I was spreading false information about their personal favorite headphone…in my incredibly positive review.

What.

You’ll notice there’s no mention of what the misinformation is, exactly, just a passive dismissal of my incorrect opinion. The passivity helps assert the apparent “right-ness” of the poster. If you speak with authority then you exude authority.

This happens in audiophile-land all the time.

My opinions didn’t fully line up with theirs even though I loved the headphone, so I was shunned.

I got a different length cable than some other people were getting and I must have “made that up” even though I measured the freaking cable(I always do), and Takstar is an OEM known for just using whatever they have on hand, but sure I’m spreading misinformation about a “perfect” product.

Also clearly cable length is the sole hallmark of quality.

This is the sort of “discussion” that happens over an $80 headphone, every minute of every day. Just imagine how it goes for the more expensive stuff.

I'ts apparent that housing is influenced by old hifimans but that driver also has some similarities with he400 driver.

He400 and he400i

So, what's your impressions?

Haven't listened to them yet, will do next week.
They feel different on the head though, not as comfortable as Pro 82.

Been holding my horses for a while now! LOL! Looking forward to the comparison.

This looks like Takstar-branded gaming version of Pro 82:

Can't find it anywhere for sale though...

So there was this one dude on YouTube what was his name? Zenos? Zanos? Zivas? (hehehe) And he was raving about these headphones and I went and ignored them due to the price and some build quality reports. Then Cooler Master just repackaged them and that caught my eye; I'm wondering if builds will be more consistent? I dunno. But here's the big question...I just read that the Pro 82 is...balanced capable. Right? So I wonder...did Cooler Master Nerf that with the 3.5mm "upgrade"? I have a headset slated to arrive today (if that Amazon driver can figure out where the heck he's going lol) and I might try to find out myself... If I can get it torn down I'll post photos here if any of you would like to see that.
