Lyra II First impressions... Love the look, the feel, the size Fit comfortably in my ears Sound good out of the box no warm up time. Compared to Comet... Ah, the bass while not deep is still so satisfying Yes, definitely a more analog feeling/sound, although by no means do these make me think any less of my beloved Comets. Compared to Jupiter... I can see why people say the Lyra II is more musical compared to the Jupiters being more analytical. I have to say I wasn't a big fan of the Jupiter. I even preferred the Comet over the Jupiter...

I started in the headphone game with an HD650.... Heckuva lot of money for my first "real" headphone... I enjoyed it, but would have been happier if the HD58x was available back then (2010)... Why? Because the HD58x is so easy to drive... right out of my laptop/phone works just fine! SUMMARY: The reviews were not overhyped... they are not "amazing"... they just sound GREAT.... like I remember my HD650 sounding... except this time I don't have to have the cumbersome/expensive amp taking up space next to my computer. I'll probably be using...

(note: pictures included are not mine, I grabbed them from the net to make the article easier to read)     I've had these for well over a year and used them at least 5 days-a-week during that time...   I work at a radio station, and used these on-air daily, as well as for production use...     For a while I used these at home for music listening, which they are more than fine for....  but ultimately I ended up just keeping them at work.       No need for me to give you a review on the sound as there are plenty of great reviews already...
