Been using this headphone for several years. And like you i enjoy the pleasent sound of this headphone. My movies and music sound very nice.
So that what those wrist bands are for lol. I was confused why topping included them with the G5.
You can use them for connecting your phone together with DAC. I am using it also like “anti skating rubber” so it is more stable on my desk.
Love it! I am using my DCA Closed X with the Topping G5 currently. Had to be a closed-back because my office is next to a busy street
Did you have to change earpads during that 3 years?
No, stock earpads, no signs of wearing out for now, so quite durable.
How often do you wash them and do you just stick them in the washing machine on light? I also have Sennheiser headphones (though the hd6xx)
I have never washed them in the washing machine. I only use moistured cleaning cloth sometimes, to get rid of the dust.
Are these open back
Yes
