Bengineer Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Item: Price Range: Depends on unit. Item Condition: Anything, as long as its working.

Bengineer Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah saw that. $440 or so. I'm hesitant, even though the price is great, if they will be 'good enough'. I know the comfort and build is there. So have a lot going for them.
Neo Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 If you can have a listen, like I said for the price great. But stretch the budget and get fostex 610 for better sound. Neo
Bengineer Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 I had the TH610 a while back. They were ok, nice fit and comfort, wood cups nice. Sound was OK, but nothing to make you go WOW. Overall a decent package.
Neo Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Then you will not be impressed with the z7m2. Look for their $1500 model then, new or secondhand in Sony range closed back Neo Edited October 25, 2019 by Neo
Bengineer Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 I had the Z1R to Demo for a while. It grew on me for sure, but something weird goes on in the upper midrange I feel. Still, lot going for it.
Bengineer Posted October 27, 2019 Author Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Forgot to add in Aeolus! And TH900 Edited October 27, 2019 by Bengineer
markm1111 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Denon D7000 with genuine leather pads (as well as original pads) fit the bill? I was hanging on to these as I love the look and sound of them so much, but they are not getting any head-time at all
Bengineer Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Hmmmm @markm1111 PM me thoughts on price mate. Edited October 28, 2019 by Bengineer
Bengineer Posted October 29, 2019 Author Posted October 29, 2019 After a lot of reading, keenest atm for Sony Z1R (have heard) Fostex TH900 MK2 ZMF Eikon @Rickus Let me know when you're back from holiday!
Odyssey Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 If you're in Canberra, you can listen to my Verite Open and HD800 with my tube amps. I had a mint LCD-3f but sold it after I use Verite for a month. I hardly touch HD800 now too.
Bengineer Posted October 29, 2019 Author Posted October 29, 2019 Brisbane I would if I were there. The Verite Closed is the current dream haha.
petng Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) I have an Australian stock Z1R for $1250 plus postage. Also Grado PS1000E for $1150. Edited October 30, 2019 by petng
Bengineer Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 Grado not my thing. But the Z1R I grew to like! Will get back to you on that one. Assume fairly new, mint condition etc?

Bengineer Posted October 31, 2019 Author Posted October 31, 2019 Thanks man. Got the HD6xx though, so similar enough
