Focal Utopia General Discussion
I got my Utopia repaired recently. Is it normal that the freight costs are charged to me even though the product is still in warranty? Normally it's all fine and all except I live in the Philippines so the distributor had to import from France, return the defective driver there, and they're...- countolaf

Focal Utopia General Discussion
So after having not used my Utopia for a couple of weeks, the right channel seems to have died on me. :-( It is still on warranty and yes, I've already reached out to the dealer about it and just waiting for their response I was hoping the issue will autocorrect within the day so I don't have...- countolaf

Looking to sell my Audio-Technica ATH MSR7se The reason its condition is "fair" and not good is that there are some small flaking in the pads and headband padding which are shown in the pics. Outside of that, it's practically new having been used for less than roughly 10 hours. Includes pretty...- countolaf

Audeze SINE Series
So 2 years and counting and the problem has worsened. The workaround has evolved into me putting a small piece of paper just slightly outside of the hole on the left earcup before plugging in the cable forcefully. It kinda solves the problem but it's annoying to have to do this plenty of times...- countolaf

Audeze SINE Series
That sucks then. I don't know if I'm equipped to do the same but this does take away from an otherwise good sounding headphone.- countolaf

Audeze SINE Series
I'm having a problem with my Sine where the left channel audio is getting cut off. It can be easily fixed by fidgeting the connector and moving it around but i realized it's not the actual connector that is the problem as I flipped the cable, put the left plug in the right one and vice versa...- countolaf

Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 and ATH-ESW9A Thread
Yeah I live in Philippines so that might be a stretch. Maybe I can just do a DIY headband to house the cups. Oh well, let's see- countolaf

Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 and ATH-ESW9A Thread
The swivel joint broke for me too :-( It's the headphone's 6th year with me so while I've had tens of thousands of hours spent with it, I'm still sad to see it finally broke. I wonder if there's anything that can still be done though? Don't really want to purchase a new one so I'd rather find a...- countolaf

Tokyo Headphone Festival presented by FUJIYA AVIC, October 25-26, 2014 (PICTORIAL)
Great coverage! I know it's a stupid (and lazy) question but does the fall edition happen during October (or even during the same dates)? The reason is I'm looking forward to go there on next year's fall and want to buy my airfare tickets in advanced so I can save lotsa money. :p- countolaf

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
I was just curious. Are there physical differences (specifically in the earcups) between the 32, 250 and 600 ohm versions of this headphone?- countolaf

Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 and ATH-ESW9A Thread
Love my ESW9. If I have one minor nitpick, it's that the swiveling is too stiff compared to almost all other headphones. Has anyone done anything to make the swiveling smoother or less stiff?- countolaf

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
Does anyone have an experience with using the JDS Labs O2 amp with the 600 ohm version of DT880? Will it drive the headphone just fine? I know Nwavguy said that the amp will drive any 600 ohm headphones just fine but I was just wondering anyway. Thanks in advanced.- countolaf

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
So how would you say does the DT880 differ from a Grado headphone like say the higher SRs or ever the RS versions? Both have kinda the same tonality but for those who have owned both, how are they different from each other sound-wise?- countolaf

Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread
The headphone looks really really attractive to me. I find it weird that it's a planar since it looks to be a portable headphone. And I don't think I've seen a planar that is driven out of portables (well maybe HE-400).- countolaf
