I'm in the "mental burn-in" camp myself. Case in point: I recently had an HD800 with me for a few weeks on loan. At first I couldn't listen to them at my normal listening volumes as I found them a lot brighter than my normal headphones. After a few days though, I acclimatized to the sound...

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audeze-lcd-x-over-ear-open-back-headphone-review.16777/#post-541627 Not your typical Audiophile review, and I'm not sure I agree with the logic here. Is he saying that the Harmon target is the standard to meet? that target is by...

wow that's a pretty penny!! Is the Quality Control on their dac/amps better than that of their headphones I wonder? From various online sources (Note: I have zero personal experience with any of their products), it seems that it's always a risk with their products, which is a pity because I...

Nothing at all. Have no desire to upgrade, awesome piece of kit :thumbs:

And here I am still rocking the silver micro iDSD lol

That cable is the worst part of the headphone lol. Well that and the lint magnets (aka pads) They sound really good though and great comfort.

Thanks!, will touch base with both. Hopefully they've got stock on hand.

Yea the Dekonis seem to get good reviews in terms of build quality, although they all seem to affect the sound to a certain degree which may not be ideal

Does anyone know where I would be able to find replacement pads from Audeze? The pads on my set have started to peel (standard leather-free variant). Amazon doesnt seem to sell the Audeze branded ones, although they do stock dekoni ones. Is ordering directly from Audeze my only option and then...

I always thought that was one of the benefits of headphones, it removes the need for a treated room lol

My dac is MQA-compatible (iFi micro idsd) but listening through Tidal, I have a choice between being able to listen to tidal masters in exclusive mode (this seems to be the only way to get it to decode the MQA file correctly) or be able to use the Reveal plugin EQ with my headset. Unfortunately...

Great write-up. Sorry to hear about the fire but glad you could recoup all expenses from the sale of the flat. I've also been researching ups and inverters etc., but the costs for a proper solution aren't for the faint-hearted!!! I can live without the lights and TV for a couple of hours, as...

Purchased this wooden stand off the forum about a month ago. Love the craftsmanship and the solidity. Almost as heavy as the headphone lol

I've got some experience with the Sennheiser CX300 ii, and would agree that they're quite bright...and occasionally sibilant which is the reason I don't use them anymore

Hans Zimmer is a genius. I've got a dedicated Tidal playlist for his soundtracks lol

Wow that wooden stand looks great!

I don't have a 6xx for comparison but my ifi micro (silver version) really takes my LCD2C's to the next level in terms of musical enjoyment, so it gets a recommendation from me!

E-piphany in Bellville has a nice selection of Senns, including the 660S all the way up to the HD800s. Doesn't come cheap though. Their website lists them for R8390... There's always the Drop 58x which is much cheaper and sounds very similar according to reviews. Will probably work out to...

I'll second the comment regarding car prices up north. It's especially true for the small hatchbacks. I'm looking at picking up a polo for the wifey, and when comparing apples with apples, the prices here in Capetown for similar specc'ed models are usually around R10-15k more than in other...

Still pretty new to this hobby, so definitely don't have the experience of listening to a massive amount of gear. That said, I've recently been fortunate to discover my little bit of audio nirvana by nabbing an iFi micro dac/amp to pair with my (also recent) Audeze LCD2C headphones. Would've...
