--------------------------------------------------------------------- Remote beer tap control :D https://paypal.me/hfzytreviews Behind the scenes photos:   / hifi_zone_yt   --------------------------------------------------------------------- I got these because a lot of guys think these are pinnacle of Hifiman tuning when it comes to overall signature. Since I have heard them earlier only once, but that was for like a 15minutes, and I saw I can have them for 250$ (sale price + coupons) from official Hifiman store - that means regular worldwide warranty - that wasnt decision hard to make :) You can get yours in the same official shop I got mine from (so tested as safe and reliable, and thats not always the case): hhttps://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3j... -------------------------- Audio setup used in my listening sessions (you can find reviews of most of these in my channel): Test setup: Desktop: Foobar-passive 11th gen Intel PC -AQJitterbug-Chord USB-Singxer SU-6-IIS via fk AQ Thunderbird-Gustard X26 Pro-BrzHifi E600 with Staccato/Burson V7/LC5/OPA828 opamps, also Fosi ZH3 as a standalone amp.
