    These ones do yes. I couldn't find my ones, i was just pointing out the fact they still do knockoffs. (I'm still looking though)


    Can you find the Tesla T1 Beyer Dynamic knockoffs too??? :O

    genuine 999€, replica ~50€?? I have some serious doubts...
    and dict.leo.org doesn't find "squid" in a way you probably meant it (what language is this??)

    haha yep, and 40 Squid for some T1 clones has got my full, blurry eyed, attention :woot:

    Would probably never spend that much on a pair of headphones but I've listened to them on an Icon Audio tube amp & they sounded incredible, like high end studio monitors.

    Buy whatever sounds good to you and can afford. If you use reference tracks while you're mixing/mastering then it doesn't really matter which headphones you use. Just import a track you know sounds good in a car, club, home stereo, and A/B between it and your song and try to get yours to sound as close to it as you can.

    Is definitelly not a complete list but some of the good ones for mixing at different price points. But remember those are tools and so were choosen as one, which mean many of them don't necessarily have wow factor, but are just great at revealing things:

    I rather trust company which measure and calibrate thousands and thousands of headphones, than some random reviews.

    I spent a couple of hours trying to find them again. No luck, sorry. Which is a real shame because I wanted another pair too. IF I do come across them again, I'll message you

    Ok no worries, shoot me a msg if you find them, I'll have a hunt around too.

    Alot of people hate on Chinese "knockoffs", but there's some serious bargains to be had, sometimes this stuff is coming from factories that have access to the genuine blueprints. I've scored some "Unauthorized Authentic" expensive speakers, sneakers, vaping stuff etc from China for next to nothing, and it's impossible to tell the difference between the genuine and the repro.

    I managed to get a 'Rolex' with sweep movement that was SO perfect it fooled the jewellers I took it to. That cost me a tenner lol

    I can believe it, some of the Chinese 2824 movements are even more accurate than the Swiss. Eventually, the student outperforms the teacher :bow:

    There's a boat load of shit coming out of China too though, finding the good stuff is the challenge. :wink:

    A couple of places I looked this at morning, wont deal with the UK for some reason. Must have something to do with the uncertainty over Brexit!
