Just searched for the ETA 02. They look like modded MDR-7506s. Very cool! First time I've seen them. Weird I've never seen them anywhere on the Internet before today!

I totally agree with everything you said. That's a clear, level-head way to explain it! 😎

Hmmm. Don't know what those are. I hope you like them!🤓 My HE-R10D went Out For Delivery two days ago. FINALLY the mail man delivered them today. Said they're swamped with mail.🙄 My first impressions after fifteen minutes of listening to them on the DragonFly Cobalt: 1)Funnest, biggest...

Dude, it's a different flavor from what you own, you barely go out and you're taking care of your wife. Treat yourself. Life is too short.

I wouldn't buy it, but I appreciate max effort builds like that. However, for the price I'd expect at least 1TB of storage. 256GB in 2023 is stingy. People willing and able to spend that much on a DAP probably have much larger collections of high-res music that couldn't fit in that space. Also...

My man.😏

🤪

Mine still have it, ha-ha. I love it!

Tonight on my head are the venerable beyerdynamic DT 800 Edition 600-ohm.:smirk: They impress me more and more every time I wear them. They just have this clarity, like sounds come from a transparent place. Imaging is *tongue click* EDIT: Not the yummiest tonality, but their detail retrieval...

I think so too in my limited experience. Of all the headphones I own, which I have in my siggy for others to see, plus the ones I used to have that are not there, nothing has touched the sound of the HD 6XX. Only the HD 58X Jubilee can approach that tonality with a funner signature, but they're...

Exaaactly! We also didn't worry, much less care about distortion and the other factors that now we obsess over. No one started in this hobby knowing. We all went through a naivety stage of head-fi peasantry. Then we started reading... Lots have become insufferable, hyperfocusing on distortion...

Luckily, HIFIMAN didn't charge me anything to ship to Puerto Rico. Sent them via USPS Priority Mail, too, which I find unbelievable. Only Crutchfield has done that for me.

Good to know you love the HE-R10D. I'm eager to receive them. HIFIMAN still haven't shipped them or even provided a tracking number [EDIT: They actually did.🥹 The e-mails went to the Spam folder for some reason😅]. I'm imagining how they're gonna sound, not due to the measurements (which I...

There are many manifestations of mental illness, some which are not chaotic and devoid of intelligence. ASR is proof enough.

Exactly. The materials are extremely low quality and simply degrade with time regardless of storage conditions. They just decompose.

I loved mine upon first listen. They don't have not even 20 hours in over four years, so according to the manual that suggests 150 hours, they're not broken in. I also never found them dark or with sucked midrange regardless of using the pleather or velvet pads.They sounded full, just without...

I love pink even if I don't own pink stuff besides a few shirts. As a child I had a random dream of this ginormous pink gem, like 12" x 4", emmiting glorious pink light inside a cave. Since then, I've loved all its variations. If Leicas didn't cost my unborn kid's kidneys, I'd rock that camera...

Yeap! I totes agree. Mine are basically brand new, but the pads, case and headband have leprosy, ha-ha. I barely use them, so I have no idea why they flaked off completely. But yeah, I also find them special, and they are incredibly revealing. I use them like once every three months just because...

I ordered them yesterday from HIFIMAN for $389 (with a $10 coupon). I got curious. While I haven't read about them being weird, I suspected they would be, and I like weird signatures. Reading from you that they are indeed odd is reassuring to me. I want them to be bombastic. I have plenty of...

I was looking on eBay for any hidden gems to be found for me to use in the gym. Well, for $15 I got me brand new NCredible 62712NC Flow True Wireless Earbuds. I had no idea Nick Cannon dabbled in this game. Anyway, initially they sucked so bad, I laughed at them. They weren't even lo-fi. They...

Guys, I received today a DragonFly Cobalt from Headphones.com and decided to test it with my beloved but picky NightHawk Carbon. DANG, GINA! What a nice pairing! :beyersmile:

😆

Jokes aside, part of the fun is researching and looking for the next purchase regardless of cost. It's exciting and fun, and our brains develop with time and our likes change. Who cares if one runs in circles? Wow, man, thanks for such a clear and detailed explanation. It really painted a...
