It's hard to fault these. Like so many here I own several headsets as well
as multiple amplifiers. Making an informed decision about these leaves no
grounds for guesswork.
What these and planars in general bring to the table is outstanding transient
response, something traditional dynamic moving coil headsets struggle with.
Even compared to my Stax electrostats these hold their own. From my first listening experience
forward, you could tell the difference. Now that they have been broken in for awhile,
all the better. They also offer portability, something I never could enjoy with my Stax. Driving them still requires amplification to get the most out of them, especially the bass.
The imaging and sound stage are a nice balance. I have yet to experience phones that
get both just right.
If I were to describe these I'd say they are analytical yet musical, if that's possible.
It's certainly easy to distinguish good recordings from mediocre ones and
hearing the sonic signature of each of my amplifiers is 'ear' apparent.
Reproducing good music is the goal. As for these, no complaints there.
Currently, on balance, I would say these are my best cans to date.
Just for the record, I prefer 24 bit lossless recordings. And yes, I'm in the
camp that insists there is a difference. These phones help confirm that experience.
Well done HiFiman and Massdrop.

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.
