What are you listening to today? For me, since I was talking about the Chaconne, I brought them out and am enjoying some fantastic prog rock. This group doesn't use a ton of sub bass, and the music is not too busy all the time, so they sound sublime with the Chaconne; at least to my ears today...

Congrats on your new shiny(s)! :) Those certainly look very nice. The Moondrop Chaconne are indeed fantastic, and I rank them VERY highly in my collection. Having said that, I don't think that you would like them very much (from your description of what you are looking for). Though, I could be...

I'm so sorry... :)

It is pretty easy to forge a relationship with Fran because he is such a big-hearted person. Materials and quality of those materials definitely make a difference. What I am trying to say is that you have good ears. :) Though, for me cables make less of an impact on some sets, where with...

It might help if you provide a little more information. What sort of music do you listen to? What source will these be used with? Budget (like @Ace Bee asked)??? Do you have a shell type preference? What is your definition of great sound quality (if you can tell us)? Having said that, there are...

Congrats to all that have received their new shiny(s)! :) You are very lucky. There are less than a score of people that have the pleasure of being able to listen to Fran's best. Having said that, his best is a moving target because he is never satisfied to rest and is always trying new things...

Nice looking rig you got there. I especially love the statue on top. :)

You can't unless you use Tidal through UAPP (USB Audio Player Pro) which can integrate Tidal and Qobuz. No, Mango EQ is not device wide. There are only a couple of (third party) apps that offer device-wide EQ, but honestly, they sound like shiit to me. Not sure what you are asking on the...

This is what I use on a few of my headphones. It doesn't look like your mother's sister knitted it for you either. ;) Plus, you can choose between three different sizes (which covers most different sizes out there). Currently I am using one on the Focal Elegia because of the white color they...

Oh! Good point on both accounts, and I forgot to mention those things... :)

Very interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing the vid.

Sorry about that... ;) That said, and even now doing a search for the term "Sennheiser HD700 Maestro" does not yield any results; except just HD700. Also doing a search for "Sennheiser the Maestro" doesn't yield any results.... However, doing a search for just "Sennheiser Maestro" DOES indeed...

If you don't mind me asking, where did you hear that name for them? I have had mine since 2012, and even on the official site (and anywhere in this thread), I have never seen them called that. Is that some sort of "pre-release code name" or something?

AHHHH! Gotcha'. Well, the Bottlehead Crack would fit in your pocket, if by pocket you mean suitcase... :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

OT... OMG! You are REALLY into Sennys... haha But what is the HD700 Maestro in your headphones list???
