Yeah I probably won’t. Unfortunately they were perfect! Not too tight and soft, good audio quality and not too heavy on pocket

Reply to comment by GarlicBiscuits in Tube Amp users: how do they differ from Solid State? by GarlicBiscuits
As a former tube amp owner, yeah. I would really recommend just going with a good basic solid state, and forget about tube amps. But that's just my 2c.

Reply to comment by Solegide in What are some of the headphones which most replicate speakers? by natidone
For me, it's one of the least comfortable headphones I've tried. The headband is super-stiff which doesn't work well with its weight and loose clamping.

This. I had a similar thing with my KATOs. Turned out to be the stock cable - it was loose inside the connector on one side. A different cable solved the problem.

better isolate this 1s and 0s from electric and radio radiation, so you do not get interference... we recommend this $3000 audiophile, gaming, RGB card to put in you're PC

Probably no. It won't be able to drive the headphone to its full possible volume. But the max volume the motherboard can provide won't harm the motherboard. Say max possible volume for your headphones is 100db(just saying), your motherboard might be able to achieve say 50db at max. That 50db is full volume for your motherboard, and that won't harm the motherboard cauz it's not going overboard while doing it.

If it helps, the Edition XS for me is the single most comfortable headphone I've ever used. Comfort is subjective, but I can wear them for hours. They just seem to disappear.

Hello, a safe practice to extend the life of your earpads is to have them avoid moisture as much as possible. Don't use them right after taking a shower and wipe them down if you happen to sweat a lot. Pleather earpads will always start flaking after lots of usage but you can prolong their life doing this.

Reply to comment by chrews in I was eyeing them for a long time, now they’ve arrived, the OG HD800! (First Impression) by chrews
I recommend waiting a long time before doing it, for "adjustment period" or what some other people might wrongly call "burn-in"... over time it seems one starts to understand the art and balance that went into them sculpting the signature just a certain way.

Well I bought my senheisers 2 years ago and I haven't exactly been gentle with them, they're in exactly the same state as when I bought them. So my advice would be to buy more durable headphones

I wonder if they fit much different than Sundaras or it's just my head. I can't wear my Sundaras for more than ~2 hours without having to fight off the discomfort building up.

It’s the other way around. I’ve purchased for the sound despite how butt-ugly they are.

(I imagine other Hifiman in that form factor may be similar, but the XS is what I have)

Its like literally so hard for me to imagine someone owning these and saying "sata does not sound proper without sterile cables" or some other bs :s. But I guess that happens in some part of the world...

Thanks!! I just found them on Amazon. Do you replace them by yourself? Or go to a shop?
