JM Audio Editions XTC Headphones
If you never had closed back then for sure 2.5. They have great soundstage for closed back, in fact it took me few days to get use to it. It feels like I am in a spacious room listening to speakers. Their bass is more impactful comparing to the open backs plus the isolation has its qualities...- krenky

Sound Rhyme impression thread
I heard DTE900 briefly and it has great and energetic sound indeed. I think its very close to the FH9 at least to my ears. They are both excellent but in my case I actually prefer SR8. I think its matter of preference of course. For me SR8 is more balanced unit but both have incredible...- krenky

Review by 'krenky' on item 'SoundRhyme SR8 (14BA/28BA)'
SR8... Let me start with the fact that I disagree with the statements below from the other reviewers. For me this set is one of the #1 iems I have heard so far and yes I had a chance to hear some more expensive sets as well (although nothing above 2k). They might fool you first that they sound...- krenky

Denon AH-D7000
What a pity.. I am using mine with extra care their headphand design its quite fragile. See if this helps, it looks like it should fit just fine. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003389776584.html- krenky

Denon AH-7200
Good luck with that driver replacement. I had chance to hear few more expensive headhones (inc. D9200) and was not impressed. The D7200 have a special place in my collection. If you go for the D7200 purchase make sure their manufacturing year is 2021+ because of the new upgraded drivers.. They...- krenky

FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread
The FH9 are incredible set. Amazing sound, superb built and fantastic value. You can see this confirmed by many on their review page. I got new upgrade cable for them called Grape God and its excellent looking and sounding cable. I just posted my FH9 review few days ago there. I strongly...- krenky

Review by 'krenky' on item 'FiiO FH9'
No need to repeat what has been written in these reviews on this page. For me this is an amazing set worth every penny. Out of box they were just ok but after some burning time, swapped filters to green and changed cable to OCC + Alloy = OMG sound. These are full of life and energy, they have...- krenky

For your genres the DTE900 makes more sense, I would recommend. The SR8 might be better all rounder. You wont be disappointed with any of them. Good luck- krenky

Sound Rhyme impression thread
Depends on what you prefer. The SR8 is more neautral one with amazing technicalities and lot of details. Its more mature iem perfect for classical, instrumental music but still a lot of fun for edm. In my case I like to use EQ but for SR8 there is hardly any customization needed. Its excellent...- krenky

The new ones have better resolution... prefer these D7200 over D9200 not sure if those drivers are the same... possibly.- krenky

Yes, I posted about it multiple times in this thread, I think they replaced them because the original ones were failing.- krenky

Denon AH-7200
Yes, but still if you try some proper desktop amps you will notice a difference. I have tried various amps on them but still the PMA-800 is my favourite. Not only it adds extra body to it but it also has this unique distortion that is very addicted. I am planning to get some vintage amplifier...- krenky

Yes, you will like that a lot just make sure you have enough power to drive them because with proper amp they really shine. They scale greatly with it. Enough power adds a lot of body into the music, I love it.- krenky

Denon AH-7200
Not a good idea... they are not made for outside use. They might get damanged easily but if you have to then be careful. Isolation is decent but not best in the class. For me sitting in garden or walking through nature its ok but travlling with them in public = not good. For portable MM400 is...- krenky

Having had the XTC 2.5 for a few months now they still keep impressing me. Just came from a couple of weeks holiday and was thrilled to get back to them. Just when the weather was crap and I was in no mood to listen to anything somehow I forced myself to play my last obtained album... The Taxi...- krenky

JM Audio Editions XTC Headphones
Not sure if you can get better closed back than XTC especially in its price range. Even if you go higher there is not much of competition as far as I heard not even ZMFs are touching the XTC in details department plus XTC closed have amazing soundstage. Most of the higher priced closed backs...- krenky

Denon AH-7200
Indeed, the D7000 very good sounding hp especially considering its age. With a bit of EQ they can be pretty detailed too. Their buttery soft sound is pure addiction. On the other side D7200 is great evolution of these classics and yes, it is superior in almost all aspects. There were multiple...- krenky

SASH Deux & Tres; impressive planars from Ukraine
Do you know if the S grills are still available as they are not listed on the website as an option anymore. Same goes for the cup covers they also are no longer listed. Anyway, I hope this could be just temporary thing due to the conflict over there. I wish it would be all over soon so he can...- krenky

Well, there is nothing wrong with EQing the set you love. If it brings the results you are looking for why to sell? The APO equalizer its really awesome and improves all my sets.- krenky

I got it about an year ago from Ebay (some chinise seller). Initially, I got it for my other hp D7000 but ended up using it with XTC. There are some replacement headbands available now but do not see this same type right now. Once I spot it I post the link here.- krenky

For the slippage problem.. Here is an excellent solution... small rubber rings, you can put them from bottom and top then the problem with slippage is gone. They can be applied to many different headphones.- krenky
