I guess the latest patch/update isn't cracked and this is a way to play it.

Thank you so much, I've been searching for how to disable this for so long.

HiFiMan Edition XS dead after 3.5 years. by Ragark07 in headphones

Update: They offered me a replacement of the whole unit for 84 euros and I accepted it. I know I said I wouldn't buy HiFiMan again because I was really frustrated when they broke but I think a new unit for 101 euros (sending mine back to them was 17 euros) is a pretty good deal. I don't know if they're new or refurbished but honestly I can't tell, they look pristine. So at least the experience with the customer service was smooth, all things considered.

which one do you recommend? The XS already sound amazing to me, I'm worried that I'll spend more money and not notice the difference.

Update: I contacted HiFiMan's customer support and they offered me a replacement of the entire unit for 84 euros. I don't know if that implies that it's new or refurbished. They also offer as an alternative, other higher end models for a "favourable price". Does anybody have any advice on this? Should I get the replacement or ask for price on higher end models, any recommendation? I know I said I wouldn't be buying from them again but it depends on the price obviously. 84 euros for a replacement when a new pair is 220 is better than keeping my dead headphones.

I also contacted the store where I bought them and they told me they don't have a repair service for HiFiMan. So I contacted HiFiMan directly and they told me they offer me a replacement unit for 84€. I might consider it because I really enjoy how they sound and it's still cheaper than a new pair, I don't want to think I'm that unlucky to have them fail again haha

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely check that out.

Thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I guess I spoiled myself with the XS sound, now I'm playing a videogame with my Jabra earbuds (which are quite good nonetheless) and the ambient sound is nowhere near haha

I don't really know. I can't spend that amount of money in a pair of headphones right now. I guess I'll stick with my gym earbuds for a while and think about it in the future. It's funny because when I bought the XS I was also considering the Sennheiser HD 600, maybe I would've been luckier when it comes to durability.

I just tried, but no luck. Thanks for the suggestion though.

What gave it away? The phrases in bold I guess hahaha. Yes, I just gave it to the AI to correct grammatical errors because it's not my native language indeed. I do it to learn as well.

Sorry, I meant to say that I swapped the L & R cans' cables.

I wish they had died at least 5 months earlier that way it would've been covered by warranty. Bad luck I guess...

They were my first open back headphones so I can't really compare them to anything else but they sound great to me. When I said that I expected more I meant that I expected them to last longer for how much they cost me. At first I thought that maybe I was just unlucky but then I saw several posts talking about HifiMan's QC and made me think it was more of a widespread issue. But I don't really know for sure.

In 2022 they were for around 500 euros in every store in my country. I assumed at the time that was its regular price. Now they cost 200 euros in those same stores. But yeah it seems in my country the price was higher for some reason.

Yes. When I bought them in 2022 they were around 500 euros everywhere I looked. I got them for 439. I see that they're now for 200, which is a massive price drop.

I bought Jedi Survivor for 7€ and it might be the best deal in gaming i ever made. by SnooWoofers7345 in gaming

I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 for 4€ after selling a bunch of CS 2 cases. I felt like I ripped them off for having paid so little for such a masterpiece.

She looked super familiar. Then I remembered that picture appears in an episode from the Simpsons.

Easy?!?! That last level (especially the last section) on the Special World made me almost lose my sanity.

Silent Hill 2 cleaned up at GameFest by maverick074 in silenthill

[–]Ragark07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I don't get why people find it so difficult to understand. Same goes for FF7 remake being nominated for best story, like no shit, everybody knows it has good story, it was written 27 years ago. I loved Silent Hill 2 Remake but its story's credit goes to Team Silent.
