    V-MODA M-200: Official Impressions & Reviews Thread

    I was kinda hoping to have a full review by now as I've had these for over a month but really haven't had nearly as much time as I had hoped with the M-200. But...do any of you have any KSC-75 foam pads (or even HD600 foam that can be cut up) laying around? If so, remove the pads and throw the...

    V-MODA M-200: Official Impressions & Reviews Thread

    I think the last thing I wrote on Head-Fi about V-Moda was in 2017 with the Crossfade II. But here we are in 2020 and V-Moda teamed up with Roland to make a "reference" "neutral" headphone? Now this was something I had to try for myself. I gotta get this out of the way first...Why the 3.5mm to...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Oh hi. It's been awhile hasn't it? How fares the world of audiophilia? Well, in between getting a new job, losing it, and finding another job a month later I found that those infamous Krone Kalpasmos earpads have been out of stock for months now! I can't just leave you guys hanging like that now...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Excuse the double post but I forgot to add this... I know Mister Zanos has a reputation but he did score a hit recommending the Fiio BTR5 Bluetooth adapter. And I am pleased to report to you all that it pairs rather well with the Pro 82. If you do have the ES100 from Earstudio you can stick with...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    It just dawned on me that I never did a comprehensive pad rolling guide considering all the posts and pix I uploaded here about pads. So you'll want to go find the MDR V6 pads mentioned in both of our posts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FSPNJH6/?th=1 and you can find either the sheepskin or...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I finally found some time to do some more detailed comparisons with all the headphones I currently have. Note that I photographed and noted any modifications to the headphone to "tune" the headphone to my liking. Takstar Pro 82 “Stock” Stock Modifications: Brainwavz MDR V6 fabric pads Pixy...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    I know I'm a week out from my last post; last week might have actually been the worst week of my life. But we won't talk about that. According to the screen shots, I did apply 1/12 compensation to it. Can get that adjusted if needed. I'll see if I can round-up the rest of the headphones to do...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    And thank you! Sorry it's so late as I've been pretty busy...paying bills without a job (it sucks) and then trying to somehow squeeze in a marathon of a game that is Trails of Cold Steel 3 (when not asking myself what I'm doing with my life). Okay, enough of the existential crisis ranting, I'M...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    WARNING: LOTS OF JPEGS HERE! "DAMN YOU, COOLER MASTER!" The modding had gone very poorly with the Cooler Master MH751 headset. The plastic cups were THICCer than they looked and the 3.5mm jacks from Amazon fell short. I ended up using a different jack from Philmore on the right side and...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Well, the damage would not be visible because the cable is probably broken where the yokes pivot. I actually ordered some of those jacks myself just to see if this idea is gonna work so stay tuned. And hopefully TakStar will get some more in soon. As cool as that sounds, I quite like the...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    With that wire I used? Unfortunately no. Now if I put some silver cable or something like that, hmm...To be honest it probably wouldn't be such a difference to merit a few hours of your time. If you do want to give that a go, please don't let me stop you! I really should be asleep right now...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Okay, from experience there are two main points of failure when one of the channels go down: - The small wire inside the headband broke (see if you can hear sound when you swivel the cup) - The 2.5mm 4-pole female jack This may be the Cooler Master headset but the parts are identical (minus...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Ohe of the customer reviews posted a photo of a white box so at the very very best you may get a V1 but it's likely a QA dropout. I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be as much info on these Amazon. I guess I'll settle this and go ahead and order one more from Amazon just for the sake of...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Wow, that happened...I finished the review (some days ago): https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/takstar-pro-82.22388/reviews#review-22671 There's a reason why I kept the measurements out of the final cut of the review: I still investigating the EARS rig. Fortunately, the measurements and such...
