    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...

    I'm up in the middle of the freaking night listening to stupid weaboo Vocaloid music on these Pro 82 and I can't stop. screw my life. Help. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/takstar-pro-82-gm200-review-impressions-and-discussion-thread.849965/page-194#post-15114803...

    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...

    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...

    Takstar Pro 82/GM200 Review, impressions and discussion thread

    Any headphone pad that's thicker than 25mm is too dummy thicc for the Pro 82. In fact, probably too dummy thicc for a lot of headphones. And you think the micro suede would leak out more sound like velour but I was surprised how well they seal. I dare say they seal as well as the stock pads. I...

    Review by 'sov73811' on item 'Takstar Pro 82'

    The TL;DR Months ago, I had over 15 pages of notes on the Takstar Pro 82. I realized that I was finding myself agreeing with the majority of people’s opinions. And why shouldn’t I? The headphone is very comfortable (unless you sweat a lot like I do), has arguably the best U-shaped frequency...

    Damn, where does the time go? ...Okay, I will confess something: I was having affairs with other headphones. Uh, yeah...Went a little IEM crazy. If anyone cares to ask me anything on these other lesser headphones, drop me a PM as all of those are definitely separate posts and topics (this IS...

    Hold my pads Ben, I got this one: Yeah, you can snap off the pads. See where the pleather and the plastic meet on the sides? You can stick a spludger in between to snap off the pads. If you're skilled enough, you can even use your fingers. Do be gentle though; don't want you to wreck the...

    Sorry it took me so long to get back but...yeah I'd be okay with that - if it worked that is. I did try to rewire the L's and R's and that did not work out at all when I plugged up the P82 to the Topping D7s. I went back immediately. It must be the way the HD598 balanced cable I'm using is...

    I guess if it was that dangerous, I probably would have blown something out by now lol. So this fix is as simple as resoldering the wires on the PCB if I saw the pics @saebasan posted properly.

    Aw man, I come back to the forum after awhile only to find that...I've been doing the Pro 82 wrong? I mean, I've been using this cable for four months with my Pro 82 and Topping DX7s and so far everything seems okay. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWBJJ1T And if I understand how balanced...

    That is the original Zune. From 2006. I can still remember the day I was given one of these for Christmas lol. I was cleaning old stuff today and found it inside one of the boxes and was like, hey why not throw a little nostalgia party.

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    Would you consider both the HP 50 and the NDH20 "warm" headphones? I mean I've heard "warm" used on both. BTW, those hybrid cushions on Amazon that I linked back apparently are unavailable right now. :( They're the closest and I mean the CLOSEST to stock sound I've ever gotten that have...
