ATH-50x are too V shaped the mid bass is too bloated for my liking. I never understood how they can be sold as studio headphones. I think the ATH-M40X are more neutral sounding, warm with good bass without the uneven shape of the M50X. The brainwavs pads makes them very comfortable, and enhances...

I returned my R9 several days after I got it. I felt I was already getting a similar enough experience from my ATH-M40x with Brainwav pads plus I didn't like the cable situation.

Thank you for the links. I'd have to go with the Apos as they are the only ones that provide a sufficient length of at least 3m. But very pricey! I'm on the fence about these headphones anyway Im not sure I wanna invest anymore in them. But Im still giving them a chance right now, I find them...

Did you have any issue with your SPC cable? Are there any third party single ended cable readily available? BTW I supposidly bought fhe wired version as mine didn't come with bluemini adapter.

Did anyone run into problems finding a replacement cable? I've tried 3 One with a TS connector (My usual) and one with a TRS connector, But the audio comes through unbalanced, The left is louder than the right. And using a XLR just makes it out of phase. In addition, my FIIO K9 pro crashes with...

Thank You.

@FiiO @FiiO Willson Is it mentioned anywhere what the differential is between low, med, and high gain levels are?

Does this exaggerated mid bass subdue after burn in or is it stuck like this?

I noticed that the Fiio EH3NC are no longer available on Amazon and AliExpress. Are they coming back or are they now out of production?

It stop when you unplug your headphone? Are they balanced or single ended? Are you able to swap the cable or remove the 6.3mm adapter if there is one? If you cant trace it to a cable or connector then its like a faulty 789.

Nope my cell phone and wiresless router are in the same room as my 789 and 887 and I never had issues. The only thing I can think of is improperlly shielded connectors on your audio cables. I'd swap them out as an experiment.

Thank you. I was hoping it was an LDAC transmitter but not a big deal since I have a FIIO BTA30. I think I'll go for it.

Hello everyone, It is nice to see that the discussions on the DX7 pro are still active in 2021. I've become really interested in single unit DAC/AMP combo lately and have just learned about the DX7pro. I was wondering if those of you who have experience with it can answer a couple of questions...

The X3 comes with a balanced 2.5mm cable. If you want to use a 4 pin XLR you can buy a 2.5mm to 4 pin XLR adapter. I use this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082Y6LZTD/

I can understand that for sub $100 disposible products, but when they're e asking for $300 and up its gotta be planned obsolescence.

The HD599 and X2 aren't related at all, they just sound similar. But I think the HD599 have some advantages.

Just be aware that the X3 are not a sequal to the X2/HR. They are more of a spin-off. People keep comparing the X3 and expecting a follow up to the X2, and wind up being disopointed and never give the X3 a proper chance. Unlike the X2 the X3 suits less aggressive music. The rock, hip hop, edm...

Has anyone tried the Dekoni Elite Velour pad?

It wasn't meant for portable use. You need enough slack to move around your studio between consoles/computers, from your sofa/bed to your stereo system, to get up and dance.

I thought the sued sounded better than the choice leather, but I still disliked both. The sound is dramatically different from the original pads, but not in a good way. The choice leather is too muddy in the mids and bass. The sueds are less muddy but they lack decent clarity in the highs. I...

I tried the suede and choice leather but not the new elite velours. I'd like to give them a shot on the X3. Judging only from the charts I dont think I'd like them for the X2HR. Those were already on the edge of muddines and these pads look like they might guarantee it.

Ive already ordered a pair of mesh pads. Will the stock pads be restocked?

Can you describe how different they are from the sound of the originals? Do you they have a lot of sound leakage?

I've emailed support 2 days ago, they have not responded. How often are the leatherette pads in stock?

Help, I need replacement pads. Does Fiio provide replacement leatherette pads for the EH3NC? Or any alternative? After over a year and half the inside seams have started to split apart. I know that they are/were the mesh pads but I'm sure those are not the same experience as a far as isolation goes.
