Same here, I want BLON to improve their stock cable and ear tips but hey! I got it for like $37 so I cannot complain. Right now I am listening to it and jesus christ! THESE are the upgrade from BL03s in my opinion! It’s more natural than the non-S ones and actually fun listening to than the BL-05 non S!

i don’t think the SA-1 is actually far off at all from the v280, at least when sharing the psynergy with an ares2 with both amps
i think the v280 may have resolved a tad better, with a tad better bass (slam) and just ever so slightly wider, but these were 
GIGANTICALLY small difference i felt like

Just received my Yincrow X6 today. Boy they’re something else.
The packaging and what’s included is kinda surprising IMO. I thought they’re going to give me the earbuds in a plastic pouch and that’s all because of how cheap they are. So far, I’m really impressed.

Lost an eBay auction on a pair of elegias.
Needed something to compensate.
Found the Fio utws3 on hifigo.
Added the Blon bl05s for free shipping.

Well rolling the dice on these lol, no clipping and one minor spot for b stock on the grill so… So far so good 
Also wrapping my head around these still but very uncompressed and neutral, like a yin and yang to my 95x… I can dig it!

I managed to avoid Covid yet somehow caught a vicious cold…go figure, been home, yet barely able to enjoy any of my new-to-me toys. I managed to unbox and at least get this on one of my racks.
Lampizator, Amber 3 SE DAC, 2019 model all black…sexy as all heck and she is a big girl, even bigger than my Line Magnetic LM32 and that is a brute…

Had the pleasure of meeting @BoomShroom today and buying his hekv2 in what must have looked like a shady transaction to anyone who saw us. Fantastic headphone pairing as nicely with the Hugo 2 as I had hoped. Forgive my messy desk in the pics:

Nice pickup!
You driving those directly with the Hugo 2’s amp?
yeah. I have to push the volume a little more than usual because they are so open, but it sounds great. Will try them off the Bigger Ben in a little bit, but I kind of expect to mostly use them with the Hugo 2

Yep, when I tried that combo I had to push the volume on the Hugo 2 quite high. It was a little too bright and bass light for me, but using the Hugo 2 as a DAC to feed a Vio V281 and then into the HekV2 is 
I hope to get a Hugo 2 review done in near future.

My neighbor had a Hugo 2 paired with a MicroZOTL MZ2 to run his HEKv2’s. Couldn’t sing their praises enough.

Yesss! It’s so good to know that you like them. The transaction definitely looked sketchy to the random passerby haha I’m hype to try my new cans once my new amp arrives. A pleasure meeting you btw
You’re a gentleman and a scholar

Lol. Just realized I had a ? after pickup above instead of a ! Lol. That was probably confusing. Apologies.

My main setup in a Qutest into a Bigger Ben, which should be what I imagine is a similar experience. I love the Bigger Ben for almost everything, but I wanted a nice solid state option. In general, I prefer dynamic headphones, and prefer to run them off of tubes when I do. It’s very good with most planars, but I tend to prefer planars off of solid state for whatever reason

Sweet! Welcome to the lampi club! Please let us know what you think once you start feeling better and get some time with it. I’m assuming this is to use with your 2 channel?

That is one HEK of a phone!
Welcome to the gang, I hope you enjoy it.

As with all, the Lampi. will get Rotated into more than one system so i can get a feel for it too. Surprisingly enough the Border Patrol is still my preference for the main 2 channel, i like the way the music sounds best w/it. I am looking forward to trying the Amber in its place though very much!
The Lampizator as a first impression is both well built and compliments the LM amp in the nearfiled room nicely, but my head is completely clogged though and i am having trouble breathing so i can’t sit in my sweet chair for more than a short while before getting up and walking around to clear my nasal cavity some…Just no enjoyment of anything this weekend😡

This came in today. I was a big fan of the HE-4XX. So I figured I needed to try this or the 5XX. @Ohmboy can we get a new thread?
HIFIMAN HE-X4
I think this is the 7th sub-300 model that Hifiman has that’s still in production. Anyone want to take bets on how many days until their next budget model lol

The Hifiman HE-XX4. “You mean the 4XX? No no the XX4”. Or perhaps the X4X. Hifiman 4x4 when? (so you can handle all sorts of rough music)
