I bought m1060 when it just hit on the market in day 1 and they broke before the V2 comes in the market . But they send me another set of V2 as replacement. But within 4 month that set is also broken because of the construction of wood is not solid as LCD. Wroth to mention I am also a rough user specially if you won more than one headphone. They sound fantastic but build quality is trash. Now lets talk about He 500 . I bought them two years ago and still working fine unless change pads two times. Little bulkier than m1060 but sound is more refine with w-o-n-d-e-r full midrange. Not much bass like m1060 but quality of bass rather than quantity is solid on He-500. Lets talk about AR- H1. Own this for almost 5 month now. Built quality is excellent and does look better than both of other two headphone. Means no objection of build quality. But the sound is not as good as other two headset. But that not means they are not good sounding headphone. If you never heard of other two headphone than this headphone will not disappoint you. Looking good, sound good what else do you need? Why I am comparing this three head phone? Because they seem like in almost same price with discount. You can also get HE 500 at 350-400 $ in used market. I would easily pick AR-H1 over m1060 due to build quality. Now He 500 I like the most any planner headphone I bought at less than 500$ headphone so far. But you will not get it new anymore since it is discontinued. This is my personal opinion though. Your choice may be differ actually more likely due to personal taste.

The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Meze 99 Noir
Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.
