OP, price in the title, please. Thanks.

my bad, I'm still new to this. Didn't even see the notifications, however it's out of stock now! Y'all scooped them up!

For headphone amps, I suggest People to look up as they'll comfortably drive these with more than enough power and be sleek additions/entries to the audiophile collection.

Budget:
Fiio e10k

Midrange:
Schiit Stack, JDS stack, or an SMSL/Topping Budget pick.

High end: topping stack or THX 789 with a Sabaj D5

Out of stock now. May show in-stock on website but will send you out of stock, order cancel email after ordering

I watched zeo's review(yeah, not a great source for info, i know) and am not too keen on them. Like mopex said, its not really an upgrade from senn's hd58x/6xx. Its a more colored sounding headphone, that seems to impart more variance from amps than the senns. If you're playing with multiple amps and especially tube amps, it might be a nice pair to try out. If you just want really good comfortable sounding headphones that play nice with nearly everything, the senns will be a better choice, at less cost(the 58x are around $280cnd, and the 6xx around $340. Expect to get hit with taxes on delivery).

Damn its only an hr after the post and I'm already too late for the party... Da eff...

deal dead

I hate to say....don't kill me guys... I was like staring at this deal for like 4-5 days selfishly grinning wondering if I should do it. Now that I've posted it here in 8 hours you guys snagged them all up :P you guys move fast honestly.

Might as well use a phone or laptop jack then waste money on the Fiio E10K.

Not sure why you think e10k is such garbage. It's a great DAC/amp in its price category.

I got the e10k and a fiio x1 player too, I figured both of them wouldnt drive this Amiron well enough, cuz I already use a DT 990 pro 250ohm and know they only power those about 90% of its potential.

Beyers have a bright sound signature, so they are very different from Sennheiser 600 series. I was tempted to give this one a try but in the end, I think I'm more interested in getting better wireless headphones. Have too many wired headphones I don't use much anymore

My hope is that the Drop THX Panda headphones will replace a lot of headphones I'm using now.

For travelling, I'm ok to use my Bose, Sony ANC headphones and the Airpods Pro which are adequate for outside use.

After listening for a few days, I would say they are definitely worth it for me. I have an HD6XX, and they are amazing, tight, precise sounding headphones. However, this headphone is so much brighter, and the sound feels like it's coming from everywhere. I found it to have a much wider sound-stage. Notes are not that precise, but I really don't mind. I had a much better listening experience with this. I will definitely be keeping this. The other equipment in my chain is an SMSL SU-8 DAC and a LOXJIE P20 amp. The Amiron is using the unbalanced 1/4 inch, whereas the 6XX has the balanced 4 pin input.

I find clapping type sounds from this set too piercing, how can I adjust it?

Will I need a spectrum analyzer to find the frequency to tune down?

I bought Amiron Home from newegg but headphone retail box came with no factory seal or shrink wrap.
Is this normal? How do I know it's actually brand new?

yeah man, it's normal. I've owned so many beyers and they're never "sealed" its just a box

That's amazing to hear man. I'm still torn on whether I like these more than my DT 1770 or DT 1990 right now. Not enough A/B hours put in lol

All Beyers tend to have a sharp sounding treble because of a peak centered around 8Khz, so if you have an equalizer, you might want to reduce the treble around there.

even $100 electronics come with seal now days

without it, how can you tell headphone sellers aren't reselling previously used/returned headphone?

I'm kinda concerned cause even though I returned unopened item but feels like there is slight chance newegg is gonna charge me some bullshit restocking fee

I wouldn't be surprised. Newegg is kinda known the be the worst LOL

savemoneyz wrote: ↑ really? does it actually sound good?

there were number of bad reviews online (especially youtube review where one of the reviewer claim it's worse than $199 headphone) so I ended up returning it


wish I kept it if it actually sounds good

kinda bummed cause I even got hit with non refundable 2 way shipping fees just for returning unopened brand new headphone, etc

also what do you mean "Notes are not that precise"?

+ does any one know how this headphone compares vs Sundara?

I'll preface this by saying, I am not an expert, just enjoy listening to music. I have a few decent headphones, like the HD6XX and Hifiman 4xx. I also have the SMSL SU8 + LOXJIE P20 amp. I also have the Schiit stack.

What I meant by the notes not being precise, is that with a song that is very busy with many instruments going, I find the instruments encroaching on each others space (instrument separation?). But for me, the mix becomes more fun than what I am used to. For example, I loved listening to the Live Freebird solo on these headphones. It's fun on the 6XX as well, but somehow I just preferred the Amiron.

Edit: I read others are saying it does have good instrument separation compared to the HD650 (https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/com ... _home_and/) So, maybe it is a function of my AMP. Since Zeos mentions the unbalanced output on the Loxjie P20 is not very good.

Edit 2: After doing a bunch more research, I am convinced the issue is with my amp and not the headphones, because the diagnosis of muddy lower bass separation ( as discussed a recent video) is what I felt as well. This leads me to a goose chase of upgrading the tubes and the power supply
