Yes... for a while. But the voices inside your head (or on your shoulders?) are constantly whispering dark thoughts to you. Go back... they have new headphones... spend more... muahahahaha! :smiling_imp: I'm glad that you're getting a lot of mileage out of your M-100s! The sound is clearly...

Late reply here, but they are fundamentally different in both sound and performance. If you like the sound of one, you'd probably steer away from the other. That's how distinct they are on the sound spectrum, IMO. What are you looking for - if you don't mind my asking - from a tonality...

Haha, sorry folks, life has taken a hold on me, and I've just been rather busy (and lazy) to get onto the forums. How's everyone doing? Believe it or not, I miss the banter, so yeah, let's hope I don't get too lazy to click on "Head-Fi Forums" on my browser the next day. ;) On the topic of...

Well... I guess I could spare a few hours to try the various poisons on offer at the Pan Pacific, right? After all, what could go wrong? - Famous last words before being roasted in a kiln by the angry wife

Try a Focal, maybe? The Radiance might be a good fit.; it certainly eschews the treble intensity that the AH-D9200 is quite notorious for. I second @AudioDuck's suggestion, too - the ZMF Atticus is a great choice. They are both warm and full-bodied, with delicious texture in the lows.

You know what? I completely forgot that CanJam is happening this weekend; I actually thought - mistakenly so - that the exhibition was to be held on the following weekend (Apr 9-10)! I already have something planned for the whole of Saturday and the first-half of Sunday. If I'm able to drop by...

Here's a comparative review of the AH-D9200 with the TH900 Mk2, with 2 other headphones thrown into the mix. TLDR - These 2 headphones are cut from the same piece of cloth. With that said, if you prefer a more exciting, bass-focused sound, the Fostex should be your number 1 pick. If you want...

If the Eikon is discontinued, will a successor show up in its place? The release of the Atrium bodes well for a new closed-back flagship; the Atrium Closed, perhaps? (DUH...) However,. that leaves the Atticus as the sole sub-$1,000 dollar product in its closed catalog. Too many cooks spoil the...

By the way, I know this isn't a closed-back, but knowing the folks at ZMF (paging you, @zach915m), a closed version of the Atrium can't be too far behind, right? ;) To be honest, I was aiming for the Stellia, but, a new closed flagship from ZMF on the horizon makes for a highly-compelling...

I'm trying to lay low for a while. :sweat_smile: Truth be told - I've been a little busy of late, plus, I've been preoccupied with other things - that are not baby-related - so, sadly, no, we're not expecting... yet! I've missed all of you guys, though... my fellow closed-back headphone...

I just want an Atrium Closed. 😎 Congrats, @zach915m, on the launch of your new headphone. It's pretty as heck - a ZMF forte, of course. 🙂

Yeah, I was taken aback when I auditioned the new T5 for the very first time. I was expecting a (slightly) reined-in version of the T5p (2nd Gen), with a modest boost in overall technical performance. Thus, imagine my surprise when I heard the headphone in its current incarnation - the heavy...

@omega1990 @Dawgfish @Pharmaboy Thanks for the info, my friends! My first contact with ZMF was through the Vérité Closed, and it came with the updated rod assembly; thus, I've never known of the original design. TIL. :) The old rod looks sleek and clean; however, my preference for the current...

Personally, it has always been a different experience using IEMs vis-à-vis headphones. IEMs are brilliant in their own way, and they are certainly the portable champs in the audiophile realm. With that being said, headphones provide a visceral response that you don't always get with earphones...

The T5 is a unique proposition on the current market - despite the asking price, it is unabashed in its quest to provide a sinful, bass-heavy, and utterly-dark sound. It's not the first name that comes to mind when you think of an "audiophile headphone", but it definitely stands apart form the...
