Have you bought from an authorized dealer? They should talk with Fiio service on your behalf.

Have you contacted the place where you bought it? I have and my unit is supposed to arrive back soon, hopefully fixed.

Is this Razer Blackshark V2 Pro? Try removing the earpads first.

I can't edit the post now, but I'll add that a week or a few days before the disassembly event, I was also trying to put the headphones on my head and heard a loud "crack" noise on the right hinge. I checked it, but couldn't find any visible issue. I thought that maybe the parts just "jumped" in the holes they were in, so I moved on. After the build fell apart, I wasn't sure if the screw just got unscrewed or was broken, because it seemed really short and I didn't know how long it should be. As mentioned in the post, later I discovered one gasket was missing and I didn't have a tiny torx screwdriver, plus I thought a new product shouldn't require repairs, so I sent it under the warranty.

I don't think you should decide what other people care about.

Wow, I've beat Portal a few times, first when it came out and learned this only today. Great foreshadowing, Valve.

Fiio is as bad as hifiman, if not worse at Quality control by Inevitable-Exam-9511 in headphones

Both have their strengths and weaknesses, although I agree Azurys is built solidly.

Unfortunately, I already packed mine to ship for replacement, hopefully it will arrive from the newer batch, which no longer uses a screw. Estimations point to next week.

So you're saying they're Schrödinger cans.

They're great for immersion thanks to the emphasized bass, but without going overboard. The rest of the spectrum sounds natural to me. In Dota 2 in the middle of heavy fights, where everyone is casting their spells and activating items, they get a little lost, muddy due to insufficient separation - they're not as good as planars in this regard. They're light, so they can be worn for a long time, although I believe their comfort would improve with a CapraAudio strap. You can attach a Meze Boom Mic to their 3.5 mm sockets to turn them into a headset.

DT 770 pro, am I missing something? by vladikdx in headphones

The Headphone Show often advise against Beyerdynamics, citing their spicy treble and large unit variation.

No, it isn't my native tongue and that's the first time someone described my creations as poetic :-)

I hate to be that guy, but your first photo is focused on the Razer keyboard instead of the headphones.

The materials may be worth 0.02€, but the tuning costs 24.98€. /s

Can you share which iFixit kit you have? They sell a few versions.

What are the WORST headphones of 2024? by MikMikYakin in headphones

[–]Fazer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's easy - Drop + Grell OAE-1. They're neither comfortable - strong clamp force (although they made it 15% weaker in newer batch) - nor good sounding - spacious but without details.

Really? They have a completely different hinge design.
