Then go for XX 🙂 as from what you said they will suit you better

XS is stealth and easier to drive - sound wise is rather flavour difference rather that superiority (from good source being able to power XX) of one over the other ( and here your taste is your judge) In my opinion comfort is on XS side also is XS coming with original proof of purchase? ( if...

It was quite opposite for me - I found them thin and harsh for the first 30min or so. After that It become smoother and fuller ( I had 3 songs on repeat and listened for 30 sec. at the time every 5 min ) Planar bass is about clarity and speed - It can be very powerful but only if it is on the...

Depends on what you will be using it with - if mostly phone or small dap then definitely go for 400i - you will only get benefit of 2 sided magnets if you will be using powerful DAP or desktop amp and then I would go for 400se - those scale up nicely with better amps and unfortunately are less...

True that - do not currently have any Sennheiser's and never owned ( or heard ) HD560 - my limited experience with them was limited to HD 600, 650 and 800 fact that I do not own any of those tells something ;] Well I only own 3 dynamic HPs ;] Superlux HD681EVO - as it used to be one of the best...

Full review is coming - so for now couple of thought. It is relatively hard to drive - what I mean is 400i 2020 can be powered by phone ( OnePlus 3T) it will not sound it best but it will be OK where 400se needs more juice - not even talking about loudness ( as loudness is distortion) up 80%...

Still early days but I would say in quality more than in quantity.

Well I guess some will have to wait for their local distributor to stock them.

So just received those (Thank you Hifiman): It is international version - So comes with stealth magnets technology - There is another version for Chinese market - confusingly under the same name... but with "normal magnets" Also some claim that magnets are only one-sided but reports are...

Is the tour still going?

Well took me a long time ;] but finally ordered 64 ohm version For bassier stuff I have VE ZEN Omega - and do not use them that often... ;] - we will see if I like that 64 ohm driver - I will just drop it inside K's housing as is and see a bit of mix tuning as K's is using some kind of...

Loudness is a factor of distortion not power, so no one should listen too "loud". A half watt radio may be 'too loud' at 70db A biamped 80w system may not be at all 'loud' at 85db

Thank you! I believe I have older version with silver cable (no Mic) they came broken - from left channel only I like what I hear but really it is hard to evaluate;] Will read up more and pick one of the 2 you suggested p/s it is funny but just from pictures I picked those same drivers and...

Hi there - hope you don't mind me asking where did you sourced those drivers? I have Ksearphone bell-lb where one side failed - as there is no chance to source original drivers I am thinking of transplant, to resurrect Ksearphone bells in different form. Or any other suggestions for pair of...

I would love to be a part of this tour! Location: UK

You are absolutely right my mistake - sorry for confusion

Other way around HM1000 don't work as a BT transmitter - only as a receiver. Comparison was made playing same songs from tidal on phone over BT to hm1000 and tidal on laptop over usb otg cable to hm1000 Hope it clarify it a bit

What is a power supply module ?

So that happened: I am a fan of Hifiman and my friends know it;] and one decided generously lo loan me his freshly acquired unit for a very short time… I am away from home so that means very limited gear I can use with it therefore it will not be review just very quick first impression. I...

and you heard new HE-R10? nothing is as "good" as internet warrior that been nowhere seen nothing and has a lot to say... I, myself, am looking forward to check both dynamic and planar version before I will make my judgment. I didn't like Edition 6 - but I love Susvara and I suspect what we...

Not really... Know your models Dude😎 Sony MDR-R10 Hifiman HE-R10.

Dynamic version looks very much like original r10 if they actually improved the driver in terms of longevity (better materials) and sound (nano coating) there may be on to something Planar version also looks purposefully different to standard planars vertical magnets Vs horizontal and that...

already done ! ;] and looks like Trev is onboard ;]

Hi there, Hoping for a UK tour! Form filled ;]

that's unfortunate - sorry to hear that. well you have two choices as i see it ;] - if everything works and you are happy with it then just don't worry and enjoy music - as latest FW didn't bring any changes in sound - just fix some glitches - you are not loosing anything by not updating and...
