Hey folks, just wanted to do a super-quick review of the HPC MK2 - Turnover has been really quick, from order to arrival it's merely been four weeks. The Packaging has been pretty neat; the cable is in delivered in a cotton pouch with the FAW logo printed on. High-Quality print-job on the...

Well, if you REALLY like the HD 650 sound and don't hate IEMs I'd really suggest auditioning the Jupiter from Campfire, it's like a slightly meatier HD650. That is if the HD820 are not your cup of tea.

Thanks @twister6, cleaning the screen with a microfibre cloth and a drop of distilled water did it for me.

Thank you; dear Shanling reps and dear head.fi-community for your responses, I really appreciate this.

Absolutely, even on low gain it gets super-loud. On high it sounds slightly more dynamic, those biocellulose drivers sadly don't scale that much. Another voice coil (300ohms) does wonders, see ZMF Eikon.

Sure, but once both values are adjusted, how do you confirm it? Long press doesn't do it for me, optionally I can upload the whole process, but that wouldn't be practical

Not sure if I'm just too stupid or if it is just a bug since I can't adjust the clock on FW 1.5 :deadhorse: Everything else (including battery life on lowest brightness) is pretty much astounding considering it's price.

Far too much demand; globally, similar to the Xiaomi Black Shark handset. They try to not rush production which is BETTER for the people working at Shanling AND us in the end. I "can" wait till June/July - yet if I don't have to, I'm not going to try waiting for it. :)

Should we cause a stir and do a tmall.com-group buy...?

A few pages ago the Shanling rep. explained they've tweaked the swiping-gesture or will be tweaking it further because most people trying it did seem to use fast smartphone-ish swipes; yet the swiping gesture on the original (read: early) M0 UI was adjusted to be used with a gentle thumb-swipe...

Well, I sure as heck do disapprove the unnecessary and baseless bashing of Jaben as seen above which somehow was implored by asking a mere question, as this thread does contain the reason why the global release is considered late may, thus it is no single retailer's, nor Shanling's fault - I'm...

It would have made more sense indeed, I didn't know those two shops.

Someone else in here who pre-ordered M0 at Jaben.sg in early april/late march? Just inquiring because scheduled shipping was early may, yet on tmall.com it is available since a week or so. I sure want to give the spiritual clip+ successor a try, it should fit quite nicely in the Andromeda's case...

Let's all save up for it, then. :beerchug:

You Sir... are getting the scheme.

Yet... it absolutely WILL do just that. The HD 800 had a near-kilo ohm impedance spike at about 120hz. Since it's the same motor, you will need much more current than recent mobile solutions offer. Edit: Wait for a closed-back Utopia, you can actually sort of drive that one with mobile equipment.

Yup, as has been said before NO HD-800 successor, as that would have cost 8000USD - this by the way is the FIRST 100% price increase in Sennheisers HD-series since introduction of HD 800 in 2009. And there will be much more distortion than in a well-amped HD 600/650; although their sanity...

Ever heard the HD 800 out of something that pumps more than 330mW into both of it's channels...? edit: I have no intent of being a d**k, but you should definitely try it, the used price is around 600USD as of now; the amp/dac it demands are now multiples of the HD 800 itself.

He's gonna tell us soon enough, he's pretty busy- you shouldn't expect an open-back HD 800 Successor, as it >would< cannibalize HE-1 sales. HD 800 is already ultra-resolving as is in conjunction with an Iggy and some top-shelf EC amps.

Well, this is going to get smashed really bad by the CFA Andromeda-Successor. Ken Ball IS going to design more interesting products than Axel Grell; at least if it's Plankton that you're after. But most people these days don't care anymore either way, which is why a low-impedance ring radiator...

The MD Plus is super-intriguing, thank you for announcing these gems to the general public. I am wondering if, since Massdrop produces these by themselves; could there possibly be a shorter window of time than usual with MD when one hits the "order" button on the 10th. of October?

It's great, really. No matter if you prefer planars, dynamics, electrostatics or plain iems, there is lots of greatness nowadays sub 1k$. Now we only need HD 900 and SR-10; then soon the HD 800 is as abundant as HD 650 and an Sr-009 as cheap as you can now get a Stax Lambda-Variation.

And the lowly-non-hypercarcinogenic TPE-membrane-utilising HD800 for less than $0.7k.

It's nice to see Sennheiser also release some new IEMs, else arch-rival Beyerdynamic would steal their show for dynamic IEMs. I expect the IE 80S to sell between 200 and 400 Dollars. Just where the IE 80 started.

1997 was a pretty great year considering Game-Soundtracks.
