What did you buy today? (Part 2)

I have a pair of open backs and some iems, and I need a middle ground for noise isolation + over ear-type comfort. This is also an early birthday gift for myself :sob:

Not bought today but arrived today (pretty fast actually)
Beautiful and all black customized cable from XINHS, thanks @nymz for the shop recommendation! :slight_smile:
I am really happy with the quality, 54€ is also a fair price for this.
Now only the Kinda Lavas are missing :see_no_evil::volcano:

It’s been a busy few weeks on the cable shopping front:

Nordost Heimdall 2 on the LCD-2.1pf, Corpse Grave Digger on the HD6xx, Arctic Cable (an older model, not exactly sure which one) on the DT880 600ohm, and an Invictus cable on the Eikons. All really nice upgrades over the stock / basic cables they were running before.

Not to be left out, the Utopia are still rocking the Heimdall 2 cable:

Thought I’d try this XINHS modular 4-core graphene since AE sale is on.

Thanks buddy :blush:
Really like the kinda lava so far but coming from FH3 the bass could be a tad more prominent in certain tracks… I would not consider myself a bass head but I would not mind a little boost
Bass quantity on FH3 was perfect for me.
Don’t know what to think about burn in time but let’s see what time will bring, maybe I will also get used to it.
To be honest I would have hoped to be more certain if I will keep it or not

Has been a while since I bought music albums:

177X Go + Dekoni Choice Suede = Tygr 300 R + Dekoni Elte Velour, but in closed-back form, with a touch more bass. It’s almost as if the same tuning was installed in two headphones, and I get to experience it in open or closed back form.

If I use the Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin, then it is straight up a 1:1 to my ears (however, I do prefer the bass of the 177X with the Choice Suedes)

I bit two very big bullets, but finally decided the time spent saved from watching classifieds etc. was worth it. Now if only some of my items would sell…

If this is confusing, it’s because I canceled my order of the Canons earlier. Repurchased today.

Bought a 4.4mm cable today for my hifiman.

Normally I prefer 8 or 16 core cables but somehow this catched my eye (probably because blue). Hope it will not be too stiff with just 4 cores and the plastic outside. With 50€ also not very cheap, especially with the nice open heart 8 core cables for 15€
