Seems like a really good price. Some reviews say you need a good seal (reliant on clamping force) so if you have a small head it might end up sounding bad.

Love my open back planner Hifiman headphone. Not sure how bad the closed back sound.... just found out these are using 50mm dynamic drivers with closed back.

Hifiman is pretty infamous for its closed back offerings. But the price here is hard to beat for sure.

I am done with HifiMan - the built quality is just okay and the headphones don't seem to hold their value (I am selling my "HIFIMAN HE4XX Planar Magnetic Headphones" on eBay if anyone is interested). You'll likely need an amp (I've been using the Schiit amp to power my headphones)

The impedance is only 16 ohms, so you won't need an amp.

It's a joke now. You're right.

This headphone is a joke. When people say you need a good seal to keep this thing from sounding pathetic, they are absolutely not kidding. To get a good seal you literally have to bend and alter this headphone to even get a clamp, or just hold it tight to your ears. It's not even worth the effort or trouble for the mediocre sound.

Well its cheaper, closed back, and dynamic.

The sundara and edition xs are more expensive, open back, and planar; I have both of these and find the xs the best. In general open back HPs will sound the best.

Can't comment on the HE-R7DX sound wise, but love Drop & HiFiMan so suspect this would be great especially for the sale price; it would also provide isolation if that is required.

Yeah I have the xs, and because of how much I like it I also like Hifiman. But this seems like a big step down

Yeah I got some weird and cool shit back when it first started up. Then it became a safe haven for (i.e., they began aggressively targeting) childless millennials with too much disposable income. The only thing they're missing is an artisanal hot sauce section and dedicated space for board games they all seem to collect but can't play because there aren't enough people with the spare time to sink 4 nights into learning something they'll only play once because it's shit. DINKs ruin everything the boomers missed.

Actually I wouldn't be remotely surprised if the 2 things I mentioned above have been added by now, I haven't visited in years. πŸ˜‚
