is the small cable straight one or coiled?
 
 
i want to ask him similar stuff.
 
 
 
always the coiled cables bring along higher impedance and this changes the sound. I would prefer to have to have both of them.
 
you can also user and aftermarket cable.
 
 
also i want an input on the sound considering the different plugs.
 
does the sound alter if you use the 6.3 plug instead of the 3.5 plug?

ok the plug does not make any difference in sound at all
 
 
 
 
 
any news on this?

The yenona seller shipped me the adapter cable a week later since the 3.5mm connection was loose. Good seller. For 37$ with extra pads as you mentioned Is good. The headphones has a big soundstage and are fun, just be realistic about the build quality.

I gifted my Yenona to my buddy but I used a custom cable which helped tighten the bass a bit. I asked the seller on Amazon if I could get spare pads a few months ago and he said they aren't available. I guess they are now. Might try and get a pair.

the seller on aliexpress told me that i can buy a spare pair of pads for 12 bucks not on amazon

sorry i misunderstand
 
the spare of pads will cost me 12 bucks. he can also ship them another day but i will have to pay extra 3 bucks for shipping.
 
i can get an after market cable 3.5 male to 3.5 male. the new version has fixed the issue with the 3.5'' plug so no problem there
 
i know for a fact that coiled cables increase impedance and change the sound a bit. also 6.3 and 3.5 jacks do not make any difference so the headphone should actually sound the same in either jacks.
 
therefore including spare pads would be $37 ($39-$2 coupon) for headphone + $12 extra pads + $10 for the aftermarket cable = $59
 
versus
 
Lypro HAS-30 -> $39 (amazon wholesales, used very good) where you get two cables so no need for extra one and lets say $12 for extra pads = $51 or $62 for a new headphone+extra pads
 
the only problem with the lyxpro are the proprietary cables.
 
with aliexpress there is a problem because without paypal i have to pay the return shipping costs in order to get refund if its defective and costs are more than half the value of the phones themselves.
 
On the other hand with amazon i get 30 days if it is defective and i will be refunded the shipping costs
 
 
what would you suggest i should do?

Me personally, I kept the LyxPro over the Yenona. The had a better fit as far as clamp Force goes, a tad together so they held on my head better. Yes, proprietary cable but it's a good cable. Lyx also looks to be more solidly built and less gimmicky looking than the Yenona. I did love the Yenona sound but found the Lyx a bit more natural. I got some Hybrid Brainwavz HM5 pads on mine and couldn't be happier.

They do sell the Yenona on Amazon BTW, that's where I got mine. Price is $60, I did get a discount though when messaging him, it wasn't as cheap as AE but to compensate I got the Prime delivery

Yeah, that sure looks like the Yenona.
 
The orange & black headphones up above were briefly discussed in this thread weeks ago. If memory serves, they're very inexpensive & have big earpads, coming in black on black, white on white, and orange on black. Can't remember the name, though. It was some outlier on Aliexpress that no one had heard of, I believe.

Don't know how old this video is. But these Yenona's look exactly like the black ones I tried to buy--twice--when I first got them. My first pair from ebay was defective...returned it & got credit. Then I bought a 2nd pair from Amazon. Both times the product images showed this black model, but I got the maroon-accented model (it has maroon branding on outside of each earcup and along top of headband--and no white piping thread around the outside edge of pads).
 
I concluded that for whatever reason, people in the U.S. can't buy the black model? Impossible to know, really.
 
Other than color, these look exactly the same as mine (~5-6 months old).

  someone said that the lyxpro are a bit heavy on his head. can you tell me the actual weight?
 
 
moreover with a source such as a smartphone which one is easier to drive?

Don't have a way to weigh my Marantz MPH-2's (had the nearly identical LyxPro's). Compared to the Yenona's, these ISK MDH9000 rebrands are a little heavier. But compared to a genuinely heavy HP like the ZMF Ori, the ISK rebrands feel distinctly lighter. I'd guess their weight at 375-400 grams.
 
In my experience, when you have these on your head, the last thing you'll be thinking about is their weight...

the model on the video is the first version. date of video is 23 February 2016
 
 
now the seller on amazon sells the new version.
 
 
i think that maybe there were three versions.
 
first the one on the video, second the one you got and third the new version.
 
 
first version
 
 

 
 
second version
 
 

 
 
third version

i asked about the weight if you do a lot of hours listening to music, maybe there is head fatigue

apart from you that said the sound changed unexpectedly, has anyone else noticed sibilance with the YENONA ?
 
it is important to know. Its one thing of the phone not being very balanced as the lyxpro and another to be sibilant.
