ISK HF2010 vs ISK HP2011 vs superlux 668b. I will use them for music and fps gaming (CS GO)

Perhaps, a better option:

Depends on your priorities. If gaming is the first priority then Superlux HD668b is the best option as it has widest sound stage and very good positioning. It's good for music, but not as good as ISK HF2010 (I'm assuming ISK HF2010 to be almost same as Takstar Hi2050).

If music is first priority then ISK HF2010 would personally be my first choice. It's ok for gaming, just not as good as Superlux HD668b.

ISK HP2011 should be the choice only if you need closed back. They are good headphones without a doubt, I just personally prefer Hi2050 (HF2010) over them and they certainly can't compete with HD668b for gaming. Although if you need closed back headphones then I would recommend you to spend a bit more and get Bosshifi B8 instead.

Is there any way I can get replacement parts for this plastic pieces? Don't want to lose this headphone because of them .

Takstar Pro 80 has been discontinued, can't find any parts (other than pads) on Ali/Taobao.
Maybe it's a sign that you should upgrade to Takstar Pro 82

Unfortunately I can't purchase another headphone right now...I'll try my luck with 3d printing.

Is ISK HP2011 better than Superlux HD 668B, Edfoer HD850 and Behringer HPS3000 for monitoring and recording purpose?

 

[Harsh Pathak]

How would you rank Edifier H850, Sennheiser HD451, Superlux 668B as compared to ISK HP2011?

 

[novem]

is there anyone purchased Takstar Hi2050 came in red box?
here is the link and the review
http://www.gearbest.com/headsets/pp_247373.html

both said the impedance is 28 ohms
however most of reviews on forum are blue box and 60 ohms
im so confused

 

[RedHarlow]

You don't need to be confused. Before the Takstar Hi 2050's have been discontinued they released a V2.

They also changed/tweaked the specs.

Hello guys!

I just bought the ISK MDH9000 because of this topic!
I'll be using them as my main PC and mobile headphones. The thing that bothers me though is the cable locking mechanism. I really wish I could use any cable on it.

So, my questions are:

-Is the coiled cable suitable for listening to music on a smartphone or it's just too big for this purpose in your opinions?
-Can it be modded (just like the ATH-M50x) in order to get rid of the locking mechanism? Is this mod simple to do?
-Is there a straight cable, about 1 meter long, that can be bought for these headphones?

Thank you so much already!

I can't say much on whether they are a good fit for your PC or smartphone, since I personally use them only with my headphone amplifier(s). But, you can purchase a shorter cable. Here are some sites, though in China they can be purchased at a cheaper price.

I found these on Amazon.....

I found these on taobao....

You can also try searching Aliexpress (direct shipping from China), but your best bet is to search under AKG K271 cables.

Hi and thanks for answering!

I don't understand how these cables will fit the ISK MDH9000. I have to use an adapter?

Also, I found this cable

Do you think these will fit?

FYI, the 1st cable listed above definitely won't fit the ISK MDH9000. The headphone-facing jack is all wrong.

The 2nd might work, but I kinda doubt it. The reason is this:

• The MDH9000 (and all its clones) have an input jack that's nominally 3.5mm
• But it's a proprietary/locking input, which means that the jack on the stock cable has a little plastic ridge on the housing that allows the "locking"--also that the metal jack itself is a little longer than the average, after-market 3.5mm jack.
• I tried a couple after-market cables w/3.5mm jacks, and they wouldn't insert quite far enough in this cable to fully seat properly

For this reason (also because the headphones sound so good w/stock cable), I never bothered trying to get an aftermarket cable for my Marantz MPH-2, which has the exact same locking input jack.

I don't think this cable will fit your ISK MDH9000. That is to say, the 3.5mm end may/may not fit the input jack of the ISK; but the 2.5mm jack...? Unless you need to plug a 2.5mm into a cellphone or DAP, I think 2.5mm is a no-go.

Well that kinda sucks for me... For some reason I thought the headphone input was 2.5mm. Have you tried modding it to remove the locking mechanism?
