Hi guys,
 
Been gone for awhile.  A friend is looking for an over-ear, closed headphone for around $50.  I was going to recommend Takstar Pro 80/Gemini HSR-1000, but don't see that for $50 any longer.  Any recommendations?

Check this AE store for many Takstar and ISK headphones around the $50 range:

I plan to buy a few from there when I return from holidays next month.

niceHck Dz7 mmcx connector so loose in less than 3 months.. is this normal? I have my fx 850 for years and it is not loose like this. Seller seems to claim as long no impact to music is ok.

This is usually not the female plug that is causing the problem but the male part (cable).
Some cable have a male connector with some kind of ring that you can adjust to make it tighter. Some don't have it but rather a fixed "beveled ring" that loosen the connection at some point.
 
Have you tried other cables? Is it the same with others cables while they are still good on other IEM?
If so then it is the female plug being the "weakest link".

I tried with 3 other cable and it has the same issue. (2 of the male cable is new). I also tried my JVC on the male cable to determine if it is the male connector issue but it is not..JVC is not loose like this

My ghetto solution would be to use a tiny bit of foil to make it tight.

Had my dz7 for 1 and half months and it doesn't twirl at all like that. However I'm using a different cable and rarely change it.

 I actually use the FX850 cable on mine. I get no twirl at all.

I have the DZ9, one cable gives me too much twirl and another gives me a little bit of twirl.

anyway Jim contacted me and mention it is free to repair it. I will send it back to him to fix it.
