How much are you likely to pay for headphones in the near future?

Audio Affairs appear to have increased the price on the open boxes. I am most delighted with their excellent customer service. I ordered open box but the last one was sold to another customer.

They said if I'm happy to wait two weeks for the next shipment, they give me an unopened box for no extra cost..........F'"""...k Yeah! 🙂

Remember to use them wired and wirelessly and see what you think.

Last night i sat down planning a peaceful Headphone night in with the newbies.
Got my new extension cable all ready.
charged them already.
downloaded the App.
tested on my phone all is fine .

Plugged them in to my Marantz front Headphone input sound fine .
Plugged into my Zen can Amp very low volume even with the Headphone Amp at full volume .

Grrrr !

I have to admit this Amp is complicated to set up correctly so many inputs and out puts.
After a hour of checking every thing ,i traced my steps to the Zen Amp connection to the Amp it was plugged into Zone 2 on the Marantnz Amp .

I new this already but thought i play it safe my other Headphones were fine .

I discovered that Zone 2 output is a varaible volume, within the Amp settings so i turnded this up Bingo that sounds better 😄

will see how they sound tonight will compare wired and wireless at some point .

I'm simply headphone mad 😂
I really love them, they make music so accessible, you don't have to worry about annoying anyone, you can just slip into your zone.
There's absolutely no touching these Hifimans, really love these cans!

That's the whole point of the forum!

Oh, yes you're right.

My headphones are three, Hifiman He1000v2s, Byerdynamic Amiron and FiiO FT1s.

Selling Hifiman Edition XS

Ear plugs KZ planars and another dynamic ones I can't recall the name.

I also have lying around my generic wireless headphones, I never use.
I did have a Razer gaming headset my nephew borrowed from me, I think he still has them 😊

Loads of custom made headphones cables.
I'm enjoying the Mogami ones but it could be placebo ☺️

Those HE1000 (open box) can be scooped up for £764 from HiFiMan's UK store now. An extra 10% off, which puts them down to the same bracket as the Meze 109 Pro which I'm still pondering about.

Oooh nice!

The Meze 109 Pro are mighty fine, possibly the best dynamic headphones out there but they're pitched against the Hifiman Arya Organic headphones, the Hexi's are a step above. Either way, you can't go wrong.

When you hear people ranting on about their Sennheiser's, I say you're listening to dogs barking, when you listen to good planar headphones, you're listening to music 😎 - the question to ask, what is your poison?

Do you like the sound of dogs barking, no seriously, do you prefer the Hifiman sound or do you prefer the sound of the Meze's?

And you get £42.50 store credit.

That’s just a bribe, to try and get you going back to buy more. A straightforward discount is much more useful. They also know many will just let the credit expire.

I suppose it depends whether they have any cheap stuff on their website?

Hypothetically speaking, if I need to use the discount voucher on the next purchase, I'll buy the headphones first, then the next day I'll buy the R2R DAC headamp or something else .... but only if that was what I originally planned to do 🙂
