Probably somewhere around $20-30 if I remember correctly. I think there as a JDS Atom on CanuckAudioMart a while ago. That was a good deal.

Oh man, do you remember how much it was?

>I was charged the retail prices in CAD on the site plus applicable sales taxes. What are you concerned about?

At checkout the grand total is $109 USD for the dac + $19 USD for shipping but no mention of sales tax or duties. Just wondering if I'll be charged those also after the initial purchase.

When it was delivered to my door, I did have to pay a bit extra

best senn aesthetic by far

I literally am waiting for my Atom Stack to arrive in the mail. I was charged the retail prices in CAD on the site plus applicable sales taxes. What are you concerned about?

What did crochet do to you?

I managed to get one and it pairs extremely well with HD650. Doesn’t leave me wanting more with the 650, which is the first time I can say that about an amp for them. A bit warm though, so not gonna be for everyone.

KPH40 is solid, it's a slightly less Bassy Porta Pro if memory serves.

If you’re only using them for near field, they’re very good. You’d be hard pressed to find better for the price. If you’re still worried you could save up for the tier above these and get the 6.5” model too, but I’d just go with “the ones” series at that price tbh.

The 305s were a nice monitor for the price. Looked cool, got very loud, and stayed coherent when playing at high volumes. The imaging was so good, it’s the main thing I remember even after years of not hearing them. I didn’t hear the mkii model though, but I can assume it still kicks ass for the price.

Thank you, might pair it with a dx3 pro+ from topping

I believe the scientific term is - wooden headphone ear-cup sound enclosure lol. Just closed back earcups, mate.

Ehrm, he probably just needs a professional cleaning haha.

The little screen hypnotized me into buying it. It's a DAC/AMP combo unit called "ADI-2 DAC FS" by a company called RME

I demoed the expanse. It’s nice but it doesn’t have the soundstage of the hd800s I tried during the same session.

With eq the hd800s might be the closest thing to perfect I’ve owned. Believe it or not, the Sony mdr z1r is right there as well

Can't directly compare to an HD600 but I'd be willing to bet these are brighter, bassier and more impactful in comparison

lcdi4.

What are you running for the amp? I like the little screen with the graph

it wasn't really marketed on reddit that much tho

I guess he didn't just like the idea of using a headphone? Like for example, my old man will never ever use any earphones but he's fine with over ear headphones.

I would get it if it were a hobby about crocheting or the sort.

If you like these solely for the aesthetic I'd suggest checking out the Koss PortaPros they have a somewhat similar look and are highly regarded for their sound quality

Edit: the KPH40 look even more like those pictured but I'm not sure about the sound quality

Not for the price you are going to pay, you can get a new set of cans that will sound better and cost 1/3 the price.

Yea Koss knew PortaPros like to pull people’s hair out and break pretty easily 40 years ago. They have a warranty but it costs money to ship them back, so people just buy a new set instead. I don’t know if it’s more profitable this way. But the fact that they still don’t have removable cables shows they don’t give a shit.
