It's a bit depressing considering their price -- my original pads are still in excellent shape.

I wish I could upgrade to the TC, but apparently mine is too old.
Stuck on the Phi CC.

If you actually have a PHI CC frame... you can upgrade to the TCs.

like this:


$1750 upgrade!

I don’t find the TC heavy at all. LCD4 are uncomfortable. These are not.

I have to agree, I found the LCD ear cups too warm in use and the weight on top of my head too concentrated in a smaller area. But the 1266 still isn't a light weight compared to my other phones.
Individual heads and ears will have different experiences.

They're definitely heavy, but the headband does a surprisingly good job distributing the weight and making them pretty comfortable. I can wear for hours, but sometimes my neck can feel it after a while.

I've not had problems with heavy 'phones at all, and that's despite having a prolapsed disc in my neck (and no, I don't have like a powerlifters build or anything). Go figure.

Has anyone had their CC pads fall apart on them?

I have kept my pair in the leather case in the wooden box.
The box was kept in a climate controlled space.

I unpacked them today to listen and the ear pads are absolutely falling apart.
It's like the adhesive failed or something.

Wanna share a picture?

I don't recall they give us two sets of pad for cc. Do they?

Hi buddy,
I don't think you are missing much regarding the upgrade. Personally, I really find it very hard to tell them apart, at least after listening to them at my audio shop using the Nimbus amp and Kann as a source. I have yet to try it out on my system though.
As for the pads, ya, mine are also falling apart after almost a year. The leather is peeling. Wish Dekoni came out with a cheaper solution.

Dekoni said they may come out with a version this year....

that's good news. I just contacted them and put in a request. The leather on mine are starting to come undone as well. The reason is so much readjusting of the pads -- the leather gets pulled on every time you take the pads off, and the CC magnets are pretty strong to release from.

I am not having the issue as much. The headphones bass is so ridiculous that I get a great center but then I get a lot of bass notes coming out the right side. But it is better hopefully with break in they will loosen up on the left side produce more excursion. I'm comparing the bass between my 1266 and Final audio D8000 pro edition to see how well balanced the 1266 is. The d8000 pro edition has better bass then LCD 4 and not too far behind the 1266.

So do you have a final word pertaining the bass quality between the 1266 and the Final Audio D8000?

nope. I did have an office there at one time though

I live in the USA. I was asking because I know that no brick and mortar stores are currently caring that amp, and it’s online only.

I like the bass of both equally. Both sound different it’s difficult for me to describe the bass difference. When you think about it D8000 uses a open ear pad and 1266 relies on broken seal. So I think it is same idea for producing more bass..
