FYI those, with the stock cable and no adapter, may not work with your amplifier.
I plugged mine into the JDS Labs ATOM, and the sound was just wrong. I need to keep the cable button pressed to get the sound as expected.
I am not sure what this button even does; I have never used nor been into using remotes on my cables, even when using a phone. But I guess enough people are, to warrant the inclusion. Fair enough. That's cool.
But not even including an adapter that allows us to use these headphones with a source which does not have remote capabilities? That's a little unusual isn't it?
I'll see if I have a relevant adapter at home.
Thankfully, when plugged into my DragonFly Red from my phone, it seems ok. I can't use the iFi Match with it, but it's not needed. The headphones are dead silent.
These sound quite like I remember the ESW9s. In-spite of many reviews saying they're a little slow and not suited for metal, they remain probably my all-time favorite headphones for that genre and so many others. It's just such a pleasant sound...

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
