Love your charm, and energy!!!! But how is isolation? edit: I ended up getting the HE-R9. I LOVE them!!! but I will get the R7DX this month hopefully as well.
Well the WORST issue these have is the Headband, As it comes in the box there will be no Isolation and NO Bass - HOWEVER the Bass IS there! Buuuuuttt... You gotta Bend that Headband like Beckham never Knew Bending could Bend - AND THEN SOME! Like far past the point that you think you would break them. You Wont. The Spring steel will actually loop in the middle without breaking. THEN go get a pair of Needle-Nosed Pliers and bend the band as close to the cups as possible right above the little circles behind the bar that pops out. - but still on the leather bit - BEYOND 90 degrees. I was wrong in the review when I said that they had no bass - I found this out by laying down in them and then subsequently simply pressing the cups inward with my index fingers and then releasing them - so apparently (after a bout another week of experimentation) its just that you MUST BEND THEM and they get SO GOOD in the Low End! Not to mention that they start Isolating then! Its not that the Low End is rolling off it is literally just the HB - its a bad thing for Hifiman that they shipped like this b/c they are SO improved by ClampForce! HOWEVER they are SO cheap now b/c of this oversight that you can take advantage of the Price Drop! There are also AliExpress aftermarket HeadBands that ppl like that dont cost much at ALL and you can replace the thing altogether in under 10 min including cleanup if you want to go that route. All In All they are FAR more than worth the pickup if you are willing to be merciless w/the headband. That being done. these punch WAAAY above their price point!
