Yeah, they’ve been very useful to me as well. They seal better than many other tips on most of my sets.

Seems like a great time for closed back sets these days.

The FiiO FF3 is a great place to start with buds. They’re really excellent. If you want more resolution then FF5 has you covered.

Sweet. It’s on the way so I’ll report back when it gets here.

I really like the light blue, and I’m a 60 year old man.

The Meze 99 Noirs are getting nice and worn in. These are really great. I swapped the installed pads for the thinner alternates that come with them and it seems to bring up the treble a little. Both sets sound fine though. The profile is very lush. They’re bass focused for sure but I don’t...

I’ve had the HD650 for years. The HD600 are equally great. Just with a slightly different sound signature.

I kinda hate how the tech companies dumb the designs of these down so much. They look like featureless marshmallows.

Six reviews. How long has this been out? I guess I only just spotted it.

7hz is really sleeping on the Timeless II. They better make it exceptionally good. Competition is heating up in the planar space again: TINHIFI P1 MAX II 14.2mm Planar Driver https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOGmanY

But it’s $12. On a price to performance level there isn’t a better deal in all of hi-fi.

I’ve seen it go on crazy sale for under $400 from time to time but those moments haven’t synched up with my budget yet.
