Barrett Creative Lamina V2 Stand - Drop Exclusive
Review Highlights:
expand_less
For such a low price this headphone deserves 5 stars for sheer bargain prowess! So long as this is plugged into a decent amplifier the sound opens up and is terrific! By contrast, anyone expecting to plug this into their cell phone or laptop computer is missing the point, without decent amplification this headphone will not sound as great as it can(more likely dull, actually!). I am driving this through an IBasso Bushmaster D14, which in turn is amped via an RSA Mustang P51 on high gain. I find this combination with the HE4XX heavenly, also because the P51 almost completely eliminates the Sabre DAC's glare. So my recommendation is to buy the HE-4XX, but only if you drive this through a decent DAC/AMP combo!

Are the 2 cables that connect to the headphone cans 2.5mm or 3.5mm?
I just looked at mine to be sure and they are 3.5mm jacks
Im not good with headphones but do these merge at the end int one cord?

Great Sound, Bad Comfort
Headband gets really uncomfortable after about an hour at the top of the head. Needs more padding. Or better yet, segment it into two sections left and right like on the Sennheiser 58X, which are 5/5 for comfort. As far as sound quality goes HE4XX has way bigger sound stage and clearer sound (more resolution). I would prefer HE4XX if they would be as comfortable as the 58X.

Most comfy and best i own
I'm new to the audio file world but so far these are the best headphones I've ever had but clearest with the most crisp sound and I don't hear that much noise.

My Favorite
I'm wearing these right now. I bought them when the first drop+version came out, and one of the cups broke off of the band after a short time -- but Drop was happy to replace them -- and I think the v2 had come out already? So they gave me the upgrade. These have lasted just fine -- and I haven't been more careful with them. They have a great sound, and I'm hooked on open back; I have 3 small kids, so I like to be able to hear the outside world while listening to music. (I still pretend I can't hear them. I like to have the advantage.) I'm not a big spender, so I don't know how these stack up against the expensive ones. Zeos did a review of them in which he had good things to say, so that was good enough for me.

Great while they lasted
I loved the sound these provided while they were able to stay together. Unfortunately even after being careful with the second pair (Thanks Drop for replacing the first pair) They broke in 18 months at the same place on the headband. If you have a slightly larger than normal head you may want to look at a different brand altogether as Hifiman has build quality issues across it's entire product line.

good enough to enjoy music, but a little shy to fully enjoy
considering the sale price, it's a good product, but the power is not enough and the clarity is short for me. overall it's fine to listen and enjoy music.

Good sound quality, poorly manufactured
Pros: These sound bright and airy out of the box, and great with minimal equalizing. Cons: Very common manufacturing defect where sound cuts off on one side. Unfortunately mine started exhibiting this problem a few weeks after warranty expired.

Crystal clear comfort
I love these headphones. My daily driver for hours on end. Crystal clear transients and satisfying accurate bass. If you havent heard these you're missing out. I can only detract one star because i wear them too much and need to order new earpads!

Not Very Durable
I'll admit, I can be somewhat hard on my things, and that might have contributed to these headphones breaking on me within only a couple of weeks / a few uses, but I have also been using my AKG M220 studio monitors as desktop PC headphones since February of 2016, and the only thing I've broken on those is the detachable XLR-to-3.5mm cable that comes with it (I ordered a 3rd-party replacement cable off of either amazon or ebay, can't remember now, and haven't had any issues with them since) in the 7 years that I've had my M220's, so these HiFimans are on the delicate side.
