Before changing anything about the headphones, make sure your ears are OK, and test with other headphones. You could just have a slight earwax buildup

I'm scared to give my headphone to their service centre bcuz they might make it worst or might replace it from fake unit. Bcuz here brands after sale service is shit bcuz there is no consumer laws here .

I think it means the headphones are capable of producing a frequency that high, even if there is no use for it. The same reason why a minivan has a top speed of 120mph or 200kph, there is no reason for a minivan to ever go that fast and I think only a handful of them ever have, but they are capable of doing that.

If they purposely made them max out at 17kHz, then there could be some sounds that the headphone isn't producing that are supposed to be in the mix.

Look for new music or go into a semi trance if I've timed my meds right.

Yes that makes sense. It's like I said/asked to another one that replied to my message I'd assume there is a price limit somewhere that goes from actually improving the audio quality to just being for looks, fit and finish, brand name, etc.

I just found the sr80e for a good price and ordered them to see what all the fuss is about on both sides. I honestly don't know if I will love or hate them but for $60 I had to know.

Going custom is for the fit, it's not something the majority of people need but it's something that some people, especially professionals, might want.

Cost/Price is not directly correlated with how much you might enjoy them, but if you find something you really like or want something specific and can't find it anywhere else then that high-end set of iems might be the ticket.

Will do!

Super jealous of those IEMs. Enjoy!

Thought about getting one of those tube Amp kits. Then replace the stock tube with good stuff. A friend did that a swears by it. I'd pick up a Schiit combo . Kinda pricy though.

Cable name please??

We’ll I’ve been very fortunate to be able to buy low and sell high also I moved back to the US so different markets. With all the finagling I think I would up around $500 in for $3.8k of gear🤣 I’m not normal. If I ever have a renters insurance claim they are not going to be able to reconcile my income vs. the value to replace all my stuff at msrp 😂

Surprisingly it's actually the stock cable. It's made by a Chinese brand called HAKUGEI. It's super nice and comfortable.

Very cool! It's so nice to hear success stories, especially those who don't spend top $$$ on insanely expensive gear but are still able to enjoy what they have. While armed with the knowledge that there is definitely a law of diminishing returns, I feel that I have a duty to find amazing sound for less $$$. So far so good on my journey.

However, after spending some time with my HD600s, I sometimes wish that I picked up the HD650s because I like a little more bass in my music that EQing just can't fix in my HD600s. Don't get me wrong, I love the 600s, I just want more low-end.

I have tried various dac/amp combos on the HD600s as well minus a tube amp (which I am currently in the market for) and while I can get better results with a warmer dac/amp combo + EQing, it still isn't where I prefer it to sound, overall. I simply cannot add enough bass.

So, that leads me to think that I should probably pick up the HD650s at some point + a decent tube amp and see where that takes me. I also have an opportunity to pick up some Focal Clears for a REALLY good deal and they are supposed to have pretty good low-end without mudding up the mids while keeping the imaging, detail, and soundstage that I prefer so I might give that a shot.

Either way, I will never get rid of my HD600s. They still sound absolutely amazing on vocals and string instruments. (they are also great for watching movies).

Thanks for sharing and enjoy your music!

Fancyyy

Yes his vocals sound center stage to me, definitely try to claim warranty on your unit

As far as I know it's not bluetooth or codec problem but windows/Microsoft implementation of bluetooth problem. If you want to use mic it switches to different BT profile ("hands-on" or something like that) and immediately drops audio quality due to this implementation and bandwidth constraints.

I just sold the 800’s and got a pair of Hifiman Arya V2’s they are very similar to the HE1000. See if Zeplin has some they are my forever endgame. One day when I can have 2 pairs of end game cans I’ll buy an HD800S for specialty listening, classical/jazz, but for everything I listen to on a reg Arya is it. Also FANTASTIC for movies.

Not a fan of the snide remark. Would you care to at least substantiate this “basic principle” with a link, or did you just intend to negate my position via name calling?

I know, just the term to gauge price range. Hate the term but many people use it😂

What cable is that? It looks insanely nice

Yes, Rockstar by post malone also sound like his vocals and instrument coming from left. Do you also felt same ?? Please tell?

Hi! I was going to visit them once but...closed😵 their offday...oh well! Only visited sam audio so far. Carousell is full of good stuff, have a sundara from there reserved!
