I'm a little drunk on a Wednesday, but I'm honestly most excited about laying down and being able to put on my Saturn Ones. As someone who has owned the HD650 multiple times and never could quite get into their sound, these are exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic Soundstage, extremely...

You would be correct, but that's only because I'm working nights and won't get off until 6 AM :triportsad:

Well got an unexpected package today! Shipping was much quicker than I thought, here's a few hastily taken photos with a definitely too shallow depth of field. Time for some actual listening...

Mine shipped today, I'm glad everyone else is enjoying theirs so far. I'll let you know if I have the same impressions about using a hybrid amp on my MCTH.

Or maybe we just need good headphones to drown out all the crazy people who live here...

Sweet! Mine should be going out the door before Friday, looks like I'm getting a pair in Sapele. Guess us Florida boys are cornering the market since I'm in St. Pete.

I'll keep that in mind. I tend to listen to my music fairly loud, but also know my ears need some TLC haha. As long as they don't die after a year like my Elears...

I'm not surprised, the Darkvoice's design is definitely meant for high impedance headphones. It struggles to deliver current to lower impedance phones like the Saturns. It's possible these cans have lower sensitivity and that's why there's a difference between your other cans.

Yeah, I enjoy having that space, but only to a certain degree. I found myself too many times drifting off following some random bass line or something in the HD800 instead of actually listening to the song haha, guess my ADD doesn't help. I'll let you know how it sounds with my CTH once I get...

Thats good to hear, I didn't want something extreme like the TH900s in terms of profile, just slightly more exciting in the bass and treble. I used to own HD800s so I'm glad its not that spacious, sometimes the soundstage took me completely out of the song on those. Hopefully they sound halfway...

Well looks like I got the last pre-order...wanted to get myself a little gift for a job promotion and came across this thread. Everytime I try and get out of this hobby, it just sucks me back in :smile_phones: In any case, I'm excited to see how they sound. Grados were the first pair of...

That she is, a noticeable improvement from my Polaris, and a great pairing with Focals. Crystal clear and perfectly silent, and since the Elears aren't hard at all to drive it gets plenty loud for me. I'll add my picture of the Utopias little brother...someday I'll get there!

Bought one of these for my Elears, I hope all the good reviews are warranted. Figure it will be a great pair considering the Elears are pretty efficient.

I'm in Orlando but usually in Tampa on the weekends so I could try and come up. As of now have a Mimby/Project Polaris/Focal Elear setup i could bring by.

The SR80s are what got me into audiophile land. Still love the way Grados do guitar. But theElears are just another level, especially since I got my mimby. They just sound like music should be heard.

That's what I plan on doing. I was tempted to sell my Elear, but I think I'm going to give it a few weeks. I love the sound, but unfortunately I'm always way too curious about other headphones. I'm going from a pre 4490 modi uber, so I'm sure it will be a solid improvement. Just think a 1000...

Anyone use a mimby with their Elear? Just hought one to go with my Project Polaris, still thinking about upgrading my amp as well but wouldn't even know where to start.

Haha, I had to do the same when I told my girlfriend I just dropped a grand on the Elears...but then I just ended up buying her a pair of Louboutins, so now she can't yell at me for my silly hobby. I think she'll be more confused when I upgrade my amp and DAC.

I've had my pair of Elears for a couple weeks, coming from HD650s and T1 first gens. They're absolutely wonderful. The clarity is definitely a step above the 650s, some albums that sounded downright muddy on my Senns are completely fabulous on the Elears (D'Angelos Black Messiah comes to mind)...

I just murdered my wallet and picked up an Elear that's coming in tomorrow. Anyone have any experience with the Polaris and Elear? Or will I have to try and write down my extremely vague and confused impressions?

Ugh, mine is sitting in the mailbox while I'm stuck at work doing absolutely nothing and not being sent home early. Anticipation is killing me haha.

Just caved in and bought a Polaris for my T1s. I would've gone Horizon but I don't want to deal with tubes since I'm weak and will end up spending more money than I need to on them. I've seen good things about the Polaris and lower model Beyers, has anyone used the combo before?

Yeah, I've had an assortment of mi-fi headphones and these are definitely a pretty big leap above. First time in awhile I've been blown away listening to a few albums I've heard a million times. Definitely no complaints here, I'll be rocking these for a long time. Tired of climbing up the...

Just wanted to join the T1 family. Found a used pair on Audigon that I won in an auction for 450, hard to beat. First pair of Beyerdynamics, I'm not having any issue with the treble presentation at all, but I feel I lean more towards brighter cans to begin with. HD650s were a little too relaxed...

The only thing I know about Portugal. The Man is that they had their van and equipment stolen in Chicago, just like my friends a week ago haha. But I enjoyed the set.
