I'll look into those! Whatever I buy though, it will be a few months, because I've got a few bills to pay before I can make a purchase. I've bought a pair of Sport-A-Pros to tide me over, and will probably keep them as a backup set for problems in the future. Any Superlux recommendations that might be around or under 100 bucks?

Edit: wow, these headphones are pretty inexpensive for what they offer. I'll consider returning the Sport-a-pros and getting some HD-681 Evos and see how I like them. Seems those are the Superlux cans to go for.

Edit Edit: Heh, my mom apparently decided I should have a pair of V6's again. Apparently she didn't like me having to settle for "cheaper" cans.

Order a set of three headphone hangers/mounts from Aliexpress, took almost three weeks to get to me, but I like what I saw. I had to bend the tips/edges a fair bit more, I found the stock angle of the tips to be not steep enough to prevent a can from sliding off in the event of an accident knock or nudge against my headphone rack.


I mounted these headphone mounts at the bottom most tier of my headphone rack, I can now hang all my full-sized cans on it. I took the pic in my spare room, so it's messy, but I'll be shifting to a dinky new apartment where I can put this rack in a right and proper setting.


Oh yeah, I almost forgot, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :D  Hope 2018 brings joy, happiness and wealth for everyone! :thumb:  Let's not forget more audio fun for everyone! :cool:

They are walking distance from my house. I could go up there this week and get the inside scoop on their stuff. I need to go test some amps anyway.
At first impression their prices seem a bit steep.

Hell yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering; How would their different cables pair with a tube amp, since they state the Black warms up the sound which I am quite dubious of. Also curious if there's any real difference at all between the Blue and Silver.
But dropping $200+ on a headphone cable seems silly to me, just not much option for the EL-8's weird connector and the stock cable is short and poorly made.

So apparently they dont have a showroom that i can stop by and see but it sounds like i can make an appointment to come by. But apparently their cables are legit - albeit I cant imagine the difference between a $50 hand made cable, and a $300 hand made cable being that big but I guess when you're dealing with $10k audio setups who am I to discriminate where people spend their money.
"You spent how much on a cable that only has 2% more pure copper than the $10 one on amazon?!"
"You spent how much on a rubber dome keyboard with fancy key caps?!"

to each their own.

I wonder if some of the nerds on headfi DIY would do a nice set for a lot cheaper?

Gah! The plastic connection between the headband and an earcup on my Audio Technica ATH-M40 broke.
I welded it together with Poly Cement (solvent for ABS) but I don't know if that will hold up. May be too tiny to put some reinforcing epoxy and fibreglass in there...

Mmm, anyone interested in getting VE Monk Plus?

I have a pair with the expansion pack and don't really need them. Could ship someone a pair if you pay shipping (<$5). I know there cheap from the shop as is but I'm from EU and shipping within EU would be quicker.

https://www.moon-audio.com/

I have a couple of Moon Audio cables. A while back I experimented with some cables when I was trying to sort through anecdotal stories of headphones being transformed by new cables.

I purchased a Black Dragon V2 for my HD800 and to my surprise, it made a small but noticeable difference in the sound. I wouldn't say the copper cable warmed the sound or anything so transformative but it shaved a little energy off the top end and gave the lower mids a little more body.

I also have a Silver Dragon V3 for the Hifiman HE500 and other than eliminating the annoying microphonics of the stock cable, it made no discernable difference to the sound.

If you want a high quality, well put together cable, the Moon Audio offerings are good, but I think they are a little overpriced for what they are (just cables).

I had originally wanted to try their cables (back when they were called Norse Audio) but they weren’t taking orders at the time. That’s how I ended up with the Moon Audio cables. I may still give Norne cables a try because I think they look cool.

Just got this one in today. Audeze LCD-X!
Sorry for the potato; my PC is out of commission and new MacBook is in the mail so I can't edit photos from my DSLR  :'(



I've been listening for most of the evening and it's fantastic. I've never heard a headphone that can render such detail but still remain perfectly smooth across the entire spectrum without a hint of sibilance or harshness. Treble is smooth and flat, mids are warm and the bass reaches down seemingly endlessly. Vocals are to die for.

Imaging is sharp and accurate. It always sounds effortless, never muddled, even with complex music like classical. The soundstage has great layering and moderate depth. By comparison, the HD800 has more air between the instruments but everything sounds like it's on the other side of a large room and spread way out.

The HD800 creates a perception of greater micro-detail due to its slightly boosted treble. The LCD-X has a much more natural sound than the HD800. I'm amazed by its ability to retain detail but stay so smooth. LCD-X is a real winner!

If only it was a few ounces lighter...

For reference, my source is Bifrost 4490 into Violectric V200.
I want to upgrade my Bifrost to multibit but I don't want to be without it for weeks while it's away at Schiit! First world problems...  :p

check out periaptcables.com , it's way more reasonably priced... don't spend like $200 on a cable only to then have to fight buyers remorse by defending it and believing it made a difference. if you however really want that style and the cash don't hurt, by all means, go ahead... I mean, we spend around 60-100$ on keyboard cables here too so... ;) (it's only about the aesthetics though, not that we have a real benefit of it)

I know this a headphone thread but you guys seem to be fond of Schiit stuff so figured I'd show my setup.

The headphones are Hifiman HE-500 and Audeze LCD-X. On the top I have a Schiit Saga (with a Tung Sol reissue 6SN7) and Schiit Bifrost 4490. On the bottom is the Schiit Vidar driving a pair of KEF LS50. Headphone amp (out of frame) is a Violectric V200.

The Saga is a pretty cool preamp. It has a relay stepped attenuator for volume control which can be controlled from a remote. The Vidar is a power amp with a beefy power supply that drives the LS50s with authority.

Apparently that was just hopeful thinking. Probably not proper connection through the amplifier? I have no way of testing whether it's the amplifier, dac or something else though.

from those two I'd go for the Sony... I quite like the Bowers & Wilkins PX though, check them out.

Also look into this pair:

https://mo-electronics.com/beryllium-acoustic.html

They are exactly the same as the RBH HP2's except they are wireless. They are much cheaper that the price range you're looking at but are getting a lot of good reviews on Head-Fi. Plus their bass is just about the best in headphones I've ever heard.

I've owned some of the best headphones including the Focal Utopias and recently listened to the Susvaras and Orpheus and my favorite headphones are still the HD800S for open-ear and Sony Z1R for closed ear. I wasn't that impressed with the Orpheus honestly and the 800S has better detail and soundstage that the Utopias, it just outclasses them completely.

Can anyone let me know if there are any good bluetooth headphones under 150$ I was searching on amazon and found one by Sony but it works only on bluetooth meaning if battery is dead then can't use a 3.5mm cable to use it.

Gonna post these ones as a suggestion again.

They are the BT version of RBH Sounds HP-2 headphones marketed by MO Electronics. GREAT bass while keeping the mids and highs clean. Here's the Head-fi forum on it for other reviews and opinions:

You can find them on Amazon for around 120 to 130 bucks plus you can use them as regular headphones with a regular 3.5mm cable if the battery runs out.

So happy for this thread! I've had a set of SteelSeries for probably, I don't know, 10 years now and while they work okay, they're very old and I feel like it's past time to get something new. Definitely going to be reading back through this thread for some ideas.

Yeah budget would be nice to know.
Also I am a fan of buying a 'proper' headset and then a modmic if you do need the microphone.
Just feels to me that a lot of the gamer brands aren't actually that good in sound.

don't bother with a modmic, just get a desktop mic and have a cable less to mess with ;)
