Setup: I bought THX 789 for the massive output of idk 6W/32ohms, but whenever I try to use my Sundara/Modhouse Argon/HD600/Arya V2/...whatever, I cannot reach decent listening levels in terms of db without getting this scratching/hissing noise in the background ... I think it's distortion. (DAC I use: Geshelli labs - J2, set to max volume) Settings: With an XLR output, gain setting level at 2/3 and the volume knob set to 2-4 o'clock, hearing distortion from a 250-350$ THX amp shouldn't be a thing, should it? With somewhat hard to drive headphones, I'm not reaching 70db, but I can already hear this godforsaken noise on all tracks without a constant stream of sound. If you dare to up the volume past 4 o'clock, or past 12 on gain setting 3/3, this noise becomes so loud, it might as well be an additional instrument Music: The tracks I usually listen to involve so few instruments, that you don't have a constant stream of sound. (e.g. Creep - Lena Hall) I'd love to get some feedback!...

Saying that the 2.5mm TRS cable wasn't in the pack, I know these were delayed so hopefully will be sent on.
There is also a tiny bit of paintwork scuffed but barely noticeable and not worth sending back for me.
Did I mention that these sound amazing, TOTL at a decent price.
Im struggling to make the included tips work, nothing fits for me execpt the foams which i dislike. The pair i auditioned in japan used spiral dot tips instead of the stock ones but i cant seem to find those in the UK so im ordering a set of RHA tips from amazon to try and experiment.
Im not impressed with the sound with the default tips as they dont provide a proper seal for me, i hope the RHA tips can provide the proper fit because these iems are amazing when they do fit.
Thanks
Each to their own 😂
Wow... what are those earphones, out of curiosity? That seems like a good price range for gifting.
