Been some time now with the Arya Stealth and with the memory foam pads I can say for sure now that these could easily last as long as my HD650 did, 10 years+ - The sound is just incredible, and my only gripe really is the rotating cup pivots, they aren't really damped and even oiling them doesn't seem to change the grindy noise you can hear if hand rotating them, though not audible on the head so it's a nit pick if anything:


The earpads are garbage so those were first to go in the bin, though this is nothing new for hifiman. The memory foam pads are leagues nicer as previously mentioned in this thread.

Did the new pads change the sound signature at all?
 
Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 are £179 at moment in rainforest. Is that a decent deal or should I wait until black Friday? I will use them primarily for my steam deck and other handhelds gaming wise.
 
Sad news :(

My 4.4mm balanced Linsoul Tripowin cable is now faulty! The right cup's cable if I twist or slightly wiggle it then the audio crackles, wiggle it a certain angle and audio on the right side gets dimmer until I wiggle it again and it resumes the same volume as the left cable :eek:

£45 for a cable you don't expect that.

In my testing to confirm it wasn't the right earcup as people do moan about HiFiMan QC, I used the 3.5mm non balanced cable connected to the MX3S and there is zero issue with that.

Live chatted Amazon who started a return for refund so will drop it off to the shop this week. Now to decide if I want to buy another Linsoul 4.4mm or try something else, the non balanced cable is obviously fine so I reckon I just got a dodgy 5.5mm balanced one :/

Ah well guess I'll be using unbalanced for a short while until a new cable is ordered.

That's concerning, I have three of them on different headphones with the XLR termination - no problems so far and the oldest is 8 months old but I will keep my fingers crossed.
