Replacement headband and earpads would be really nice for the Nighthawk/owl.

I also believe you can buy or 3d print new connectors.

Anyone know where one can get new pads for these? I really like the cloth/alcantara? pads more than the protein leather. I just know they won't last forever.

The XTC is probably one of the best pair of headphones I've ever owned or tried. At a canjam two years ago I tried a bunch and actually settled on a Meze 109 Pro. This is my go to open back and XTC is my go to closed back. Literally everything else I've tried (and I've tried many) is nice and...

Oh, I see now. Well that's a bit weird. Do people often look for left/right "handed" headphones? Is that a thing? (maybe I'm dense sorry)

Am I crazy or does their product photo look like there's a jack on the other cup? Other photos clearly show it just on one side, but I swear the one shot looks like an empty hole there.

So I've been curious about measurements for JM's headphones for a while, though I mostly don't take too much stock in measurements. Many variables and it all depends on how something sounds on your head to your ears. You like what you like. Though I still like looking at graphs because it can...

Yes, I just saw this. They look awesome. I knew he was working on a new designs with partners. I think these are terrific.

There's probably a good thread about that somewhere. Specifically for the each model as well I imagine. Usually headphones get their own dedicated thread.

The metal band lets you adjust that a bit. I wouldn't jog with them. They are secure but not too tight. I did gently bend the band to reduce clamp force and it's fine. Though I may have a smaller head too.

Speaking of amps, I recently got a Woo Audio WA6 tube amp and the XTC sounds awesome on the WA6. That's the tl;dr version. Here's the story version with some details and caveats (don't just get an amp without expecting to change anything else like it's going to solve all your problems...it...

Sure, but the room you had was quiet when I was there with about 6 people in the room. 🤷‍♂️ I mean I like your headphones. I also like JMs. This thread is about the XTC. So I'm trying to stay on topic here and I think everyone else is just trying to compare and contrast things. I don't think...

It's really a preference thing to be honest. For me my preferences were; Caledera, Eikon (which I guess isn't sold anymore), Atticus, Verite Closed, and then I guess Atrium, Aeolis and some others just started to lump in somewhere there after that. This certainly surprised me because I thought I...

This is a very good point and I've heard that. I assume the ZMF booth at the last SoCal CanJam was setup with proper amps to drive the headphones though. The Caldera was sublime...and again, just funny enough, but I preferred the Eikon to the Veritie Closed by a mile. Maybe I'm weird :)...
