Well the sound on the left cup is getting worse... damn The sound is now uneven, the right side is much louder than the left side.- emann56

I wonder if they are going to improve the El-8 like they did with the LCD-4 and give everyone a free upgrade. They both seem to have the same issues and they both use the new Fluxor magnets (Though the El-8 is only single sided).- emann56

The date doesn't matter. A lot of them are defective, many different issues though. My Certificate Of Authenticity is 2-10-16 and it has a thack noise in the left earcup and that was a replacement for the pair that had piercing highs.- emann56

If they gave me an option to upgrade to the LCD-XC at a discount and return my defective ones, I would be a happy camper.- emann56

I knew it... Doesn't matter what batch your headphones came, there will be some defectives. Quality control is really bad on the El-8s.- emann56

Well... The thack, thack sticky type of physical noise is now appearing on my left earcup. Maybe I didn't notice before? :( I don't think it matters which batch you get, there will be defective ones.- emann56

The highs are now lower, doesn't hurt my ears :P It says they did hundred hours of pink noise to break it in but I can tell they didn't do that. It sounds too fresh compared to my old ones. Update: After a few hours, I can tell these they sound 100 times better than my defective pair...- emann56

Mine was also defective with the piercing highs. Just contact Audeze, they told me I had a defective pair and gave me the latest batch that was made.- emann56

They finally shipped my replacement headphones out. They ran out of stock but they told me I got the latest batch that was just made! So this should have zero defects. Tony at Audeze was really helpful and responded at a timely manner.- emann56

Just got word that they are in short supply of El-8's. They couldn't send me a replacement but instead they will ship me one from the batch that is currently being made within 48 hours! 2 days delay for the latest batch sounds good to me.- emann56
