Do you know If they have an open designed headphone?
 
Thank god they finally switched to a detachable cable design.

I don't think they have. Looks like they aim those headphones to DJs.

Don't know anything about that Sony, but if you want a real upgrade, look for a Soundmagic HP150. It's a bit more expensive, but if you're lucky you can get one cheap (bought mine for $120 from a member here). And they are A-W-E-S-O-M-E

Another upgrade that does not break the bank is Msur N550.http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-Original-High-MSUR-N550-HiFi-Wooden-Metal-Headphone-Headset-Earphone-With-Beryllium-Alloy-Driver-With/32539462912.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.13.ghbguB&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_6,searchweb201644_1_505_506_503_504_10020_502_10001_10002_10017_10005_10006_10021_10003_10004_10022_10018_9999_10019,searchweb201560_3,searchweb1451318400_-1,searchweb1451318411_-1&btsid=ccfa73bf-4cff-44ff-a08c-b0f8c8eaf8a0
 
There is very little information available. So far this thread is the best place to start. It might not be the most informative thread because it is mostly just a conversation between me and menuki. So far everyone who has bought a pair has liked them alot. I've modded mine...and I could not be happier. Sold my T5p, Sony CD3000 and Sa5000 are propably going to go too. It is just that good...

I did get the mdr-1a on discount, a quick listen and the sound is wider than the pro 80 thats a big plus.
 
I still think my DT770 Pro 80 are better, but they are too big to use lying down.

  Clip+ and Topping NX1 worked quite well for me with the Pro80. Pretty nice combo for a rather small price

I'll keep an eye on the Topping, in the meantime I found a cheap DIY kit for an amp with two ne5532p chips. I'm really bad with my hands, specially with electronics (I've killed a few devices) but I managed to solder it and it's working ok. The performance even with this cheap amp (it was around $7usd) is really good.

Has anyone heard of the Takstar ts-662? I was wondering how they compare to the hi2050.

It boggles my mind how you can sell these headphones for this price without a detachable cable.

Why? There are companies that sell $500 headphones without a detachable cable.

If you buy a headphone for $500 without a detachable cable that's your fault. If I'm buying some headphones above the $50 price range a detachable cable is a must have feature.
 
That's coming from a guy who owns a Philips SHP 9500/ Monoprice Hi Fi DJ style headphones. I bought the Takstar Pro 80 and the HI 2050 both priced below $50. So If a company sells a headphone without a detachable cable for $500 and monoprice can do It with their DJ headphone that costs only $15,99. There's definitely something wrong.

I'm almost 100% sure that people don't buy headphones for a removable cable. I'm sure there are other note important factors involved.

People buy headphones for gaming/music. I don't see a problem If a guy like me asks for a feature if he wants to buy a higher priced headphone. So If companies produce headphones without detachable cables I'm looking for alternatives.
 
It's getting a little bit offtopic isn't it?
 
My problem is If Takstar sells higher priced headphones they should really start to think about detachable cables.

My problem is If Takstar sells higher priced headphones they should really start to think about detachable cables.

But they don't sell high priced headphones. They're as budget as it gets.

Plus you answered your own question. You will look for alternatives. I'm sure companies have their reasons not to include a removable cable.
