Penguin, I should know better than to read your posts by now. I checked out the "Dolphins" and the Technology behind their design is pretty awesome, if it's actually true. I will know in a couple weeks, I just ordered a pair in Black....
 
Dammit.

You are very welcome.  

  

I do what I can.
 
 
 
Actually, now I am interested in how they sound.  Looking forward to hearing your impressions.

Praying for all of my Canadian brothers and sisters in music. I hope none of you are too close to that massive fire, or it hasn't effected your livelihood too much. Waynes World report in to us when you can, please? 

thanks Eric, I live in Alberta but am in Calgary so am fortunate to not be caught up in the fires. Its impacting the company I work for though as we have operations in and around the affected area. Fortunately nobody has been hurt badly or killed. That fire is insane and is going to affect Alberta for many years as it impacts the Oil sands projects immensely. But 80+ thousand people had to be evacuated and an entire city in ruins, the devastation is massive to say the least.

Wow dweaver! I knew it was bad but I didn't know the severity. Thanks for the information and I'm glad you and your loved ones are okay. Stay safe!

So my Massdrop/Fostex TH-X00 came in this morning. I've only had minutes to listen to it, so really not much to say on it yet until I give some massive burn-in. It's is a gorgeous headphone and comfortable. I guess my biggest concern, however, has been alleviated (unless there's much change after burn-in. I am not a fan of really recessed mids (hated the Denon D2000 for that reason). From many of the reviews, I was expecting that type of sound and was planning to sell these right away. Well, I'm glad that I don't hear recessed mids in these headphones like that. Other than that, I'll say more after the burn-in process. By the way, my favorite headphone is the HE-560, but I love different sound signatures. We're at a good start with the TH-X00.

I have an uncanny knack for buying headphones like that. Mids are so unpopular, but at least they get to spend all their time in recess.

My take on the SHOZY Zero for those who might be interested:

Did you get the original or Purple hearts? It's looking like the X00 will be my next audio purchase so I'm excited to hear all of your impressions!

Wow, didn't expect to make this discovery!!!  Went with my daughter to Barnes & Noble yesterday to buy some books, and right in the middle of B&N (for people outside of US, this is a popular book store) found THIS!!!!!!!

 

 
We are talking about freshly pressed vinyls (old and new hits, for crying out loud they had the latest Justin Bieber album on vinyl) and AT turntables!!!

Missed the vinyl comeback? I've been buying vinyl at B and N for quite a while now, and on Amazon, and on many other sites. (even treddy clothing stores like Urban Outfitters)

Original and with 50 hours on them pretty impressive. I agree with Dsnuts that these have the headphone flavor of the JVC FX-850 woodie iems.

Ya, love me some TH-X00. Very enjoyable listen for me. Glad your enjoying them ericp.

The one issue with the Z5 is that I don't like using anything else once I go back to them! DS mentioned them and I pulled my pair off the shelf along with my Pono because I had been so busy testing the Focal Sphear, AKG N20, KEF M100 etc. No sooner have I started to listen to the Z5 I just don't want to test or listen to anything else. The first couple of songs with a strong bass presence fltl a bit heavy at the start but my brain quickly settled back into the groove and everything else just sort of pales in comparison.
