I just wish Massdrop/Hifiman would make a successor of the HE-500.
That's something I would buy in a heartbeat!

Shure se846 - new lower pricing?
Now that Amazon is retailing them at 899 (as opposed the the 1249 launch price and lower than the previous 999 retail), we should be able to drill the price down even lower than the last Massdrop price (820), no? That's when I last bought a pair.
Asking because if we can, it would let me buy another pair at potentially less than the replacement cost of the two buds I've got.

Specialist iFi audio ZEN DAC Signature now on sale on Drop!
We are excited to announce that we will also be launching a bigger and better ZEN DAC exclusive to Drop for a period of time. Based on one of the most talked about USB DAC/headphone amps on the market today, we combined improved circuitry with newfound singular purpose to produce a transportable DAC which concentrates on the DAC function and is dedicated to driving high quality amplifiers like the ZEN CAN Signature with authority and precision. Bit-perfect hi-res audio support includes PCM to 384kHz, native DSD and MQA, coupled to fully balanced analog circuit design – nothing anywhere near the price comes close.
Our exclusive Signature version elevates the ZEN DAC’s DAC performance with upgraded circuitry from iFi’s flagship Pro Series delivering exceptional poise and accuracy to any downstream amplifier, but especially the purpose-codesigned ZEN CAN Signature 6XX with matching 4.4mm balanced inputs. Like a polished version of an already highly-prized precision instrument, the ZEN...

iFi audio launch TODAY on DROP exclusive CAN to maximise your Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones!
We have been working hard to bring you an exciting new product which is our ZEN CAN Signature 6XX which is a custom version of our soon to be released ZEN CAN. This will initially be sold exclusively via Drop.com. Our ZEN CAN is a remarkably capable yet affordable desk-top size analogue headphone amp. The exclusive Signature version takes the concept further and includes a unique feature – an optional EQ circuit specifically designed to optimise performance with one of the most successful high-quality headphones on the market, the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX.
This EQ circuit, called ActivEQ, calibrates the signal being amplified to complement the HD 6XX’s frequency response characteristics, thus tailoring performance to precisely fit the headphones like a made-to-measure suit. What’s more, it’s active design does this without adding the distortion commonly associated with passive equalisation circuits.
With balanced circuit design incorporating high-end components and a range of...

2017 AKG K7XX elastic is garbage.
I bought AKG K7XX 'limited edition' in 2017. Good headphones. A bit cumbersome for travel. Good for at home use.
At the start of 2020 I noticed the elastic that is meant to pull the ear cups upwards to counter their weight and to fit heads smaller than max size, this elastic has totally fallen apart. It has no spring anymore. So now the ear cups sit too low. It's uncomfortable and affects the sound quality.
I am very disappointed considering it is such a simple component to get right... just don't cheap out on it.
I would post a photo but that will have to come later as I am on my PC.
What can be done to fix this??? Warranty? DIY?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Sweetvinyl Sugar Cube
http://www.sweetvinyl.com/
Hi guys
Im into records and the price on line of good stuff has been sky rocketing so much so that it’s difficult to buy 1st releases of popular titles in mint or near mint condition, so I’ve had to start looking at VG+ on down with all the clicks pops and crackle that comes with these gradings. Back in the 1980’s some tech guys were looking at gadgets to remove unwanted noises from vinyl but it seemed they never could get it right and the music suffered but now this company Sweetvinyl, using the latest tech seems to have kicked a goal. They have these Sugar Cube models; SC 1 which removes the noise using Analogue to Digital conversion then Digital to Analogue conversion or DAC so the music comes out unaltered but those annoying noises are gone and SC2 which does the same but also allows recording and has a screen showing info on the album. If your on any kind of a budget like me it means you can get those hard to pay for titles at affordable prices so...

Hi, I am looking for headphones costing up to 1000$ cad(750us dollars).
I listen to rock,hard rock and metal. I really want the cymbal crashes and the drums to stand out. I really enjoy high energy songs like "time bomb" by hollywood undead or "bang bang" and "pray" by the same band. I also enjoy power metal by bands like rhapsody,stratovarius, dream theater.

Mayflower ARC Mk2 + Sennheiser HD 6XX
I currently have the Mayflower ARC Mk2, would this be able to run the Sennheiser HD 6XX to its full potential and is it a good pair? What mic would also be suitable for this setup?

Bose QuietComfort® 35 II
Hi,
Can anyone please recommend what is "the best" replacement ear pads for the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II?
Velour is preferred although I know that makes the headphones lose some of the ANC.
Thanks in advance :)

Purchasing cables for the SHP9500
EDIT: The headphones allow for detaching the cable, so a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male is the type of cable I would need
Hi there,
a week ago I received my Philip's SHP9500 headphones and so far I love them, except for the extremely long and quite frankly, sub-par cable. By sub-par I mean that it feels cheap and it tangles easily and I'm just counting the days until it gets stuck in the wheels of my chair.
So I have but one question, Where do you usually buy your cables?
I'm looking for suggestions, preferably not Amazon and if possible, nothing DIY as I don't own any soldering equipment to make my own cables.
Thanks in advance

However the one thing that i can see being issues for more mainstream users is the balance of them both. these are by comparison to the sorts of things youl see in the likes of John Lewis, err Target? sorry dont really know american shops that would sell audio stuff. and if thats a bit long hit the TLDR to my circa 500 word quick review. So then i put the RE-00 in my ears the other day and holy crap!!! they are jaw dropping good. they are practically the RE-0 which wade headfi go nuts when they fell to US$100 but these are now on offer for US$35. Seriously, i dont know how and its not that they are perfection but acoustically they pretty much are. then for the price tag, seriously, seriously super good.
oh and if you care my review of the RE-00 is coming soon but id suggest if youre even slightly interested, order a pair now, dont wait for me to post it.
