planar magnetic

Launch price is approximately $699. These are FiiO's latest headphones and based on their recent track-record with the FT1 and FT1 Pro I have high hopes for these. The only measurements I have seen are these official ones by FiiO:

If you just want the actual mod and arent interested in the journey just skip to post 2. Here are some experiments you might find interesting anyway. Individual measurements below, where you can see the harmonic distortion and group delay. Note that the cursor line is the same in all the...

I have tried doing some research on this setup, but havent found anything conclusive. While on paper there should be no issues since the BTR7 can deliver 320+320mW through the 4.4mm jack for a 32Ohms Headphones. Ive still seen people say that this isn't enough. The sens on the Sundaras is 92dB...

HIFIMAN is a regularly discussed company and who frequently releases new headphones. Instead of making a thread for each release I thought it could work nicely to have a thread for all of their products. They seem to be having a new product release period.

What is the mechanical reason for this?

Macbook provided 1.25 volts rms under 150 ohms and 3 volts rms over 150 ohms. However, planar headphones generally have low impedance and sense, regarding that they are hard to drive. The question is how can I get 3 rms with planar headphones like he400se on M2 MacBook pro?

I have read up some things about them now and I am really wondering whether planar magnetics (or electrostats) are better than dynamic drivers. Due to their exotic nature, planars and stats are more FR varied between Left and Right Channels as well as having more variation between different...

Selling my lightly used pair of 2020 Sundaras in excellent, like-new condition. I'm the original owner and they come from a smoke-free home. These have been my work desk headphones and I'd say they probably have a total of 200-250 hours on them. They are excellent in every way and include the...

I recently bought a Hifiman XS, sadly it was a bit of a hasty decision since the headphones were on sale. I didn’t check whether my interface (Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen) is powerful enough to efficiently power the headphone (I would use it for music production with Sonarwork (Flattening-EQ...

Hello All, I’m looking for an amp that is high power and high current to drive some difficult planars. I am looking to spend under $1500. I have gotten some information on another forum that low current is causing from my setup to underperform. Any support or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a pc with an MPK 249 and Hifiman He-400’s. The hifimans are the originals not the newer editions. My sound just isn’t that impressive with them and I’ve read that I may need a Dac and Amplifier or combination with them. I am very confused on which route to take and what would give me the...

Starting a thread -- separate from the measurement thread -- for HIFIMAN HE400i headphone owners. (This is specifically for the 2016 version, not the 2020 version.) Some reference info below ... Specs source: DIY-Audio-Heaven Driver type: orthodynamic Headphone connector: 2.5mm TRS (marked L...
