audeze were using the Hugo to demo them yes. Hugo was everywhere

Thanks avl06, so now we will wait until there is some impression from final product. Since I already pre-order, at least I hope to see unboxing next week.

Is the release date firm yet?

lextek · Jan 31, 2015 at 8:36 PM

So are the ELs targeted at the "transportable"segment? Aimed at being driven from iPhones, Astell & Kerns, Hugos and Ifi stuff?

Just heard the non production EL8 closed back at the Headroom event. As heard, they are not for me. I felt there was Not enough bass and to much treble. Of course these are not the production model. They are comfortable though, very.

That sounds signature would greatly disappoint....one of the great things of closed back is usually increased bad presence....it's one area of smugness for our clan.....normally!

I went to Headroom event as well, and I enjoyed the open EL8's driven off the AK120, headband is a little uncomfortable though. They have a clean mid-range, good bass weight & texture and well controlled highs.Competent imaging. Essentially a smaller, more portable LCD-2. They need a strong DAP though, driven directly off my Samsung Note 2, they sounded distant and lifeless.

Really, a smaller LCD-2 ? I though they were voiced to be like LCD-X according to someone further back.

We'll have to wait and see

I'm planning on getting these EL-8's in the middle of the year. Do you think it will still be available? or sold out....

goldendarko · Jan 31, 2015 at 11:04 PM

I would think they would be easier to get later in the year after they've fulfilled initial pre orders and such
