I had a gf who collected earrings ask me why I collected headphones. we came to the agreement of "one for each occasion" since, now I can live with myself owning more than five headphones lol

the mx40x are as good as the m50x, trust me on this one bro.

also never buy no iem from audio Technica, yours zero will be better.

>If I had to keep only one it would be the Koss kh30i. They are cheap and easy to replace.

damn getting a pair ngl

me but with weed instead of whiskey. oh well, also whiskey. lol

okay, thanks.

I saw some videos were people fill that cavity with super glue or something like that's i thought they did that so they prevent the cables from snapping

well that sounds easily enough, I'll see if I can find someone to do the job for me for cheap, but that's another problem on it's on.

once fixed, how do you think I can prevent this from happening again?

I'll try to take a better photo for you to see, ok you tell me if you think they're fixable

indeed, VERY back luck 😔

KOSS said I could send them back to them, but guess what, it's much much more expensive for me to do that, than to buy another pair from Amazon.

unless I find a way to fix this myself (or meet someone that can), this is a F for me.

what a shame

green (left) side works flawlessly, red side doesn't sound and CAME like this, i just opened it.

I'd show you but stupid reddit automod. removed my post

bruh I just opened my KSC75, they came with a defect from the factory

thank you, I'll see some YouTube videos and see what I can do, as that is far more easier than dealing with koss internationally

!remindme 6 months

I don't wanna be rough on loss because they DO make good headphones. but one month of usage before breaking is straight up manufacturing future trash

hahahah that's on another lever my guy

no, but his bones do 💀

>TWS last maybe 5 years in the best cases before the battery dies

dude, no battery is going to last 5 years, specially not the ones that TWS use. if anything after the first years they will start to lose their capacity to hold energy, and by year 2, they might as well only charge a 3/4 to 2/4 of the original charge capacity, and it's all downhill from there. problem is that also these batteries are too light a too underpowered to last enough time between recharges before It becomes annoying, and as soon as you start to lose half of you battery life, the TWS themselves will be more of an annoyance than a useful pair of wireless earbuds lol

why is the girl underage

>Don't need to contact the hifiman support

CHUUUUUUUUUUUS

>you just told them their XM4s were bad, which isn't true.

because they are, it is truth. they're decent if you need headphones with active noise cancellation, but compared to open headphones, they sound like ass. this is factually true due to how ANC technology works, you cannot make a ANC headphone and expect the audio quality of a pair of HD600 for example.

>You didn't really address why Spotify "is not a great source for music anymore."

low quality low bitrate music, sounds worse and this is factually true, again, it's not something I'm making up, Spotify is not lossless, has never been.

>Most people who support adapters do so because it allows for one less hole on their device and a slimmer profile for aesthetic purposes.

and thanks to that one less port, now you cannot use wired headphones while charging your device, bravo.

>People who know about hardware also like adapters sometimes because you no longer have a single point of failure for headphone connections. It's easier to replace an adapter than replace the headphone port on your phone

I've NEVER, EVER seen a headphones jack failing, but I've had lots of cables fail due to natural bending of the cable due to normal use. I've never ever had the necessity to change a headphone jack on my phone, not even on the phones that fell into water, the headphone jack always worked just fine.

>Additionally, is you're really obsessed with "luxury audio," you'd almost certainly need to buy an external DAC for your phone because the built-in one is nowhere near audiophile quality, which would require using a different port anyway.

I already have a DAC and they can connect either via the standard 3.5 jack or USB c jackz i don't really understand your point here, what's the problem with having headphones jacks? just aesthetic? just a slimmer phone that you won't even notice in daily usage??

I'm not trying to make you mad here or sound condescending. I'm not a native English speaker so sorry for my tone. and please don't feel offender because I said the XM4 were bad, they're not, but they're average at best, I've used them before, and they just aren't high fidelity headphones, they're bassy headphones for the general market and that's ok because that what works with most people, but not for those who look for true high quality audio.

>So what "luxury" headphones are we talking about? I use XM4s, they are wireless and have good sound quality in relation to the source

that doesn't even come close to be high end, audiophile, studio/monitor quality and not even a shadow of what luxury means on headphones.

>spotify. Which is what most people use.

yes, but Spotify its not a great source for music anymore, between tidal and apple music, you can hear a big difference in quality that only becomes more evident the better gear you use.

>And if you want to use your 10k studio headphones with a cord dangling from your pocket then how does a USB C adapter change anything

totally annoying to have another thing to worry about, and can be loose easily, also, when you use a case most USB adapters become incompatible due to the fit. also, yet another thing you have to spend money on. I can go on all day on why I don't like adapters, I'll better ask YOU, why do you like them to being with?

every high end or studio quality headphone uses wires instrans of Bluetooth because the difference in quality is easily recognizable.

if you like Bluetooth and have never tried professional headphones o luxury quality headphones, i don't fault you, but nobody that takes seriously their gear is going to mix or market music with Bluetooth headphones lol.

not because something is new it's going to be instantaneously better than what came before, wired headphones still have plenty of big benefits over wireless headphones.
