Well I’ve just bought my first “new” iPhone since I bought a shiny 4S back in 2011, went for the bog standard iPhone 17 with 256gb in black, got £60 discount for my iPhone XS so “only” £739 bought from Apple Store without any AppleCare - I like a bit of risk in my dull life :wink:

Doesnt look very space efficient with those stands. I recommend using banana holders.

I have a few of these.

Before I had some studio wall hangers similar to what you linked, also work nicely. But as my headphones is quite expensive I preffer to have some surface area to not damage the headband, even my two here could be better. But they look real good.

I would have loved ROOMs FS Pro, I can fit around 3 headphones per row then. Can with mine also, but its like 200-300usd per set and the FS Pro is half that :sweat_smile:

Yeah more surface area is definitely good. But “audiophile” stands are extremely overpriced imo.

I have those. It’s one of the few stands that easily accomodate the egg Hifimans. (I don’t like the omegashaped stands because of the potential pad wear)
The Audioquest Perch can also be an option. I have a few of those too. But it has a slightly shorter base for the headphone to rest on and the finishing is a bit rougher than the ROOMs one. They’re pretty sturdy though, and high.

Hello everyone it has been a while and I’ve decided to get my own set recently after finally successfully selling my Pula Anvil 114. I sold it because due to the fact that I just cannot sleep with it side ways which pains me for I really love the sounds of that set.

So here were are the EPZ P50 and actually my first time getting an IEM set from this brand. In terms of first impressions from them with this set, I am really impressed, well done EPZ and a much better fitting set for me since the tuning is on my target which is neutral and yeah I don’t mind a bit of brightness as long as it is not ear piercing, and finally a better damn fit in my ears and yes I can pretty much sleep with this set in my ears.

There are some cons though, that would be its stock tips which I won’t use. The cable is a janky mess therefore there will be a time for me to get my own custom cable for this set. The lack of nozzle lips which can be a damn pain, luckily I have found some tips that can stick on it without slipping off. And finally, this is more of a nitpick or an error from the manufacturer, instead of having a set of one 3.5mm and 4.4mm terminations, I got two 4.4mm terminations from the package which is really weird.

Overall, I need more listening to this set in order to get used to its sounds but so far though, a much better fit IEM in my ears and I love its overall tuning.

EDIT: I am sorry for the edits, A LOT, but let me tell you something. Despite this one being called an “open back” It’s not really an open back for me, for I cannot hear a single thing outside when these are in my ears and when audio is playing despite many reviewers said that its noise isolation is not that good, yeah my ass! The noise isolation for me is actually good. YMMV, Idk.

Zeos’s video convinced me to pull the trigger on the latest version of Fostex’s TH919. I had my eye on the previous version for years, but I had reservations. Glad I waited. They arrived today from Mimic Audio and they sound freaking amazing. Just as advertised: immersive and smooth. Probably headphone endgame.

Nice serial number, right?

Not today, but recently. I converted part of my apartment into a gym. To get tunes to that area, I used an iPod dock as I have several iPods/DAP’s. But she finally blew out.

So I decided to enter modern day and bought a Bluetooth speaker, the W-King T8II. Pretty good sound, small footprint and TONS of power. Only for indoor use.

Just bought a mouse that I could use in my own office and I know, the MX Master 3 makes more sense as a productivity mouse but I am on a tight budget so I have settled with the ATK VXE R1 SE+ which is totally the opposite of a productivity mouse lol. My main reason for buying this one would be its comfort and as well as replacing my old wired mouse that has seen better days, so a replacement is really needed. And by the way, I got this for only 15USD and it’s damn steal for that for I am really impressed.
