Z Review - Blue Sadie

Thanks, Z....appreciate the response. Now, go cut a couple holes in that bag and...hey, idea just popped in my head...get Pasta to model it for ya😋

4xx isn't that hard to drive. BUT a better amp is always advisable. So the X7s is a good step up.

Lmao, Z...luv the way you drool over the bag! You should do a bag comparison between this one and the one that comes with the Takstar Pro 82. Lol! Seriously though, these look like a really good set of closed cans, but the price is a bit steep for me. Still, I want to thank you for your past review of the Takstar Pro 82. I bought them based on your review, and I totally love them. I also have a set of Grado SR 225's (with a pair of bigger over ear pads from Amazon Geek-something...don't remember the name), and a set of Hifiman 4xx. All have their strengths and weaknesses, but I listen mostly to the Takstars with my phone and Fiio Q1 Mk2. It's a totally satisfying combo for me, especially since I've never been a big fan of closed back cans. I love my 4xx's too, but I can't use them much right now because my AC is running alot (too much noise leaking in because open back), and I think they would benefit from more power. I planning to get an Aune X7S to run them balanced. Already have a balanced cable to run them off my Q1 Mk2, but still doesn't sound like I'm getting the best out of them. Any thoughts? Do you think the Aune can drive the 4xx's to their full potential?

If you buy new X00s they have detachable cable (2pin)

3D printing companies are beginning to develop technology that automatically calculates the most efficient shape for a specific purpose. The result is a shape that looks biological...like a clavicle...or a leg bone...or something alien. Blue is ahead of its time. I’m impressed.

"1 Lithium ion batterie required. (included)." Too bad you can't replace the battery, in which case you could charge it externally and just swap out another one. By the way, you can get an "audiophile" cable for the Ella that, I would imagine, you could swap out for the included cable.

"Powers on and off automatically when headphones are opened and closed." You didn't read the Amazon blurb you linked to.... :O)
