@devilboy While I can't speak for others, I don't take issue with your experience. It's YOUR experience based on your equipment, so first, no guarantees that we're hearing the same things, and second, even if so, your tolerances for staging might be different from mine. Perhaps to your ears...

Okay, I've officially lost my Susvaras... While my wife has been "tolerant" of my getting them, she would sort of side-eye me whenever she saw them, probably thinking, "We could've done "X" with all that money!" Well last evening we watched a movie about Aretha Franklin (Her birthday month, we...

Waited for them to thermally-stabilize from this afternoon since it's so cold here in NJ. Struggled with myself for what my first listening experiences would be. (Classical? Jazz? Rock?) I finally settled on these to showcase all that these can do: https://tidal.com/browse/track/2844716...

Yes! And I thought that the unboxing experience of my HEDDPhone was over the top... I have to hide the book, or my wife will try to make it a "coffee-table book"! ;-) Also, the first headphone that I've ever had (Including HiFiMans) that has TWO serial numbers.

It has taken FOR-EVER, but at long last, I have finally joined the fraternity of Susvara owners!

Thank you for your response LarsMan. Yes, the Holo May KTE is the current front-runner in my mind after reading all the info I could find, but I'm open to other's opinions.

Okay mates... It's time. 3 things: 1 - Won't waste your time faffing-about. I'm buying a Susvara in Feb. (Allowing proper break/burn-in for DAC) 2 - I'm not going to get squeamish about costs. I'm 54, and I can't take it with me, so I'm looking for best performance, so I want to get my...

Shame about the Mangird Tea... I LOVE mine. If something happened to it, I'd replace it without a 2nd thought. I'd rather have it with me on my plane trips than a Monarch MK II, or U.M. Mest II because I'd not lose sleep over losing a WAY-sub $1K iem, but would be PISSED if I lost a $1K or...

At the tend there, you bring up a great point... I was trying to explain to my wife "why I have all these headphones", and I couldn't really articulate concisely WHY the he6se v2 wasn't a REPLACEMENT for my HEDDPhone. It's not so much a matter of "better", but more that they are just so...

Make it look good and you'll have to make a second because I'll be your first "Customer"! :-)

Well, for $100 USD you could get a WHOLE SET of used HE4xx, have it in as little time as it takes to get to you from Georgia, and then have "bonus" earcups to play with as well... Even with the $14.95 shipping this guy is asking, you're still coming in under the hybrid band cost... (If you...

Might serve you to just put a Sundara headband on it since the original is out of stock anyway and call it a day. :-)

@thefitz PLEASE don't read anything into any perceived "tone" of my message. Just asking the question. In no way implying responsibility of you to answer for the manufacturer's policy.

If the headphone is still within warranty, why would they charge you for a replacement headband? I could see "shipping charges" which would be annoying, but "reasonable", but the full cost of the replacement part that just anyone would buy coming in off the street seems a bit excessive...

@DeweyCH Right? If you're driving them off of speaker taps, do yourself a favor and (FIRST TURN YOUR VOLUME WAY DOWN!!!) try your Modhouse Argons/T50RPs off the same connection, then go back to the he6se v2s... Mind-blowing, isn't it? People used to talk about how hard it was to "properly"...

Hey guys, I just read a review of the Ether Flow 1.1 on Headphones dot com and I happened to notice that at least the "shape" of the driver housings look similar to the he6se housings. Do you think it's possible to use the Ether Flow headbands with these? (For people who are complaining...

At the rate we're going I wouldn't be surprised if someone found a way to mod with a set of styrofoam cups! Good on you intrepid trailblazers. One of you may discover the next phase of audio experience elevations. :wink: (I'm not being sarcastic. History has shown more outlandish things...

I can't help with the 3d-printing aspect of your question, but for consideration - Once you get the ring portion of the problem sorted, may I suggest surgical tubing to ring the ear-facing surface to help add additional cushion to whatever material you select to press against your ears/side of...

Okay... I have the PERFECT track to illustrate the difference in soundstage capabilities between my “best” soundstaging headphones before ,and the he6se v2. “Orchestra Version (Live) Inception: Time” by Hans Zimmer. At 1:34 there is a set of percussive hits that my other headphones place to...

Thundercats!

Oh, the pain.... THE PAIN!!!!!!!

@okan TOTAL respect for your choice of avatar Okan! My attempts to integrate my love of Thundercats and Audio met with "less success"... :wink: OK, how about, "Sword of Omens - Grant me sound beyond sound!" It's been a LONG day...

I picked up this dual 3.5mm to XLR cable from Periapt and am very happy with it! https://periaptcables.com/products/8-type-8-dual-3-5mm 8 - Type 8 - Dual 3.5mm × 1 5ft / Red / ProXLR I plug it into the long-run XLR from the entertainment center in the living room, and it's a perfect length...
