One tube amp to rule them all (planars and dynamics)
Does the Cayin Ha-300 belong in this discussion? I've heard it compares favorably with the Envy, and the price and aesthetics are really appealing.- bfin3

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
I use it for music and games and routinely wear them for 4 or 5 hours at a time. They don't cause me discomfort, but every other pair of headphones I've ever had have certainly been more comfortable.- bfin3

Sony-Audeze Acquisition
Yes, they've already been working with Audeze and used their tech in several recent products. I think it's a combination of that as well as the noise cancelling. It also gives them an ability to segment their high end and lifestyle products. A lot of people have misconceptions about Sony's high...- bfin3

Sony-Audeze Acquisition
I'm surprised there isn't more discussion around this already. I'm curious how people are feeling about it.

Most 'forgiving' TOTL headphone in your opinion?
Agreed. I lived with the 007 and blue hawaii for a couple of years. The treble was something special, but the lack of dynamics made it feel sterile and lifeless.- bfin3

Most 'forgiving' TOTL headphone in your opinion?
As many have said, the Meze Empyrean stands out in this regard. It's not as detailed as some, but it's exceptionally smooth. Everything sounds good. I regret selling mine. The 1266 is more technically capable, but it's hard to listen and relax. Things are either too engaging and exciting, or...- bfin3
