I also find it quite comfortable, I can wear it for hours on end with no discomfort.

The problem with the 1266 is that their isn’t a position that can be recommended, it’s different for everybody. My issue is bass I spent countless times fitting it and long time to find it. My issue is the if I use a gap I loose bass on one side. Also I have to sit straight so it’s equal on both sides. If I move my head left or right I loose bass on one side. Soundstage was easy to find. So play with it until you find your fit.

I only heard Milo "almost reference" and yes, it's very good synergy but my GS-X mini is more universal.

For more warm HP like D8000 or LCD-4 Milo is not the best choice.

I find Milo better then mini and yes I owned the mini for good amount of time. Never liked D8000 pro or LCD4 on any amp I’ve owned. Issue was not enough bass on the 4 and D8000 pro didn’t have a Harmon curve.

But i aggre that Milo sound like good tube amp.

I found the mini really good just enjoying one over the other. The lower end on the mini is very strong, with a slight warm presentation with great treble makes it my 2nd favorite. Now I still have to test more headphones to see if I find the Milo universal.

I use too compete heavily in IASCA(car audio) so I know my bass. When my car was taken out of SQ mode I was hitting 140db with 2 12’s in sealed enclosure.
So I know my bass!!!!!!!
Closes headphone is the 1266 tc to make me feel like a kid again or young adult.
My Stax SR-009s has more bass then that LCD4.

I like that you know you can wear it for two hours comfortably, and you don't even have an amp yet. Think how comfortable it will be with music. And did you get any funny looks wearing it while NOT listening to music.

Hahaha yesterday I placed them on my head (no cable attached) and worked on my computer for an hour
My only concern is about the two rubber strings on both side. When I expand the metal band o the max, it creates a tension on the rubber strings. I am not quite sure for how long the strings will last. Maybe I have to buy spare strings because I am leaving North America for along (2 years) business trip. Or may I am paranoid

This is the exact reason why I'm using HE6 more than the 1266. The sound quality of the 1266 when adjusted right is just unparalleled, sublime, superb, any superlative I can throw at it it won't be an exaggeration. But, but, the fit is just too finicky. Most of the time when I come back from work I just want to put the headphones on and relax. With the Abyss I'm constantly playing with the fit instead of enjoying music.

You guys are nuts. I don't believe I've changed my fit for a few months now. TC is peasy, man.

 

[Bonddam]

It took me a year to be happy with my fit.

Do you think the new headband then would expedite that period?

 

[Bonddam]

It helped a lot the previous I had to put padding underneath to raise it up into position.

You make me feel extremely nervous about my purchase!
