Finally, i have not ordered them...65 euros + another 41€ due to custom taxes and VAT in my country.

Could you recommend me any good headphones for 120€, better than takstar 82? good sound, no extreme bass or tremble?

I see you are in Spain. You have them for 55€ (with case, VAT and shipping included) from amazon.es at this moment.

Headphoniaks is another good place to buy from. You can also find them from Microfusa and other online stores. Send me a PM if anything.

yes but they are not version 2 i guess.

I have contacted Headphoniaks asking them if they are selling version 2.

So much difference between v1 and v2?

Weird - in your measurements bass is falling below 100hZ, in mine rising below 200hZ. Also, there is a 3khZ peak in yours.
Is that the result of the "revisions" you made?

Could be possible. The measurements are from the pair that didn't get damaged though. I'm going to run further tests to see if they stay like that or if there's something else going on with either the headphones or the H.E.A.R.S. device.

is this true?

A Takstar pro 82 reseller has told me the following when I asked him if there is a v2 version of this headset:

"A lot of clients have asked us about a v2 version of these headphones.

We asked Takstar about this and they confirm that they have not changed the headset. We know that accesories are something that manufacturers usually change along the time (the drawing of the case, cable length, the packaging of ear pads, L or straight connector, but not the headset and its audio label.

That's the only thing we can say, from Takstar (manufacturer, neither a European distributor nor nothing similar) they confirm that there isnt a version 2 and the headset is the same one when they released it in 2017."

What do you think about this?

Well, since many of us have both versions of the headsets and can hear the difference ourselves, I think it's a load of crap. Which is not to say v1 isn't good; it is. But since you were particularly concerned about treble, that's the biggest difference between the two.

Yes man, that's why I want v2, but getting them in Europe without buying them from Aliexpress is not easy peasy. Everybody seems to sell v1.

Is there any easy way of checking they have a v2 headset without opening it? No audio tests because they are not willing to do a test just for me and one headset.

1st batch - White cardboard box, 3.5/6.5mm adapter, 2.2m cable
2nd batch - Black cardboard box, no adapter (unless the seller put one in), 1.6m cable

The supplier has insisted there is no V2 and that Takstar has confirmed there is only one version.

In this situation, I can order p82 from aliexpress and hope custom taxes are the lowest possible, or otherwise I will have to get V1.

Luckily for you, the MId-Year Sale just started on Aliexpress.

well, Takstar should change the info on their own ad on Aliexpress because it identifies them as V2...

ok thanks both of you for your help.

Do i need any special adapter for 3.5mm in V2?

 

[Sgt. Ear Ache]

man, my BTR1k drives the Pro82's with incredible ease. Sounds really great.

 

[BenF]

...Do i need any special adapter for 3.5mm in V2?

Only if you plan to use Pro 82 with a an amplifier that has a 6.5mm output - you'll need a 3.5/6.5mm adapter.

For anyone interested, the Takstar HF 580 is also on sale. I bought one and will compare it to the Pro 82 when it arrive. It's a planar from Takstar! Cant go wrong.
