DamienRI do actually wonder what the ATH-R70x would sound like in a closed back version.

DamienRThe elastic bands on the AKG headband slackens pretty quickly though

phoenixsongI have it sitting beside me (in its box) & i don't recall it having Elastic? do you mean the plastic Sliders that he leather clips onto? Eaither way as long as its not wings or easily slackens, that would be good!

DamienRThe ones that connect the sliders, which are at the ends of the headband, to the earcups. They allow the fit to stretch and accommodate people with larger heads, by allowing the headband to slide further away from the earcups

Any possibility of more Hivi Swan monitors?
I see the m200mkIII's were sold on here previously, and I wish they could make a reappearance. What would be even more amazing would be the Swan m300mkII, or, dare I say, the Swan m500...

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.

To be honest theres more companys that make closed backs that i dont like & could name including headphone models, I've got a list on google. e.g Sennheiser closedback: only one i know i like is the HD820 from experiance, havn't tryed any of the HD5XX but i have tried a few from HD25 up to the HD5XX range & Momentum/s didnt like them. same with AKG 52~550 range, i think the 553 was closed? & that was ok though. Actually sony have alot i don't like as well but in there case not because they are bad, but because they sound to similar e.t.c.
I've tried a lot of closed back headphones, they almost always end up Generic sounding or Generic Bassy sounding, Even the novelty multidriver ones. the dull sounding ones are always the ones with poor ear cup design as menchioned above. So I would be extremely reluctant to purchase anything before reading the reviews.
