Today I have just received the Titanium ones and they are absolutely amazing.
I have tested the open and closed but nothing compared with this new model because the integrated AMP/DSP/DAC.
This small piece of technology integrated in the cable is awesome in amp and quality.
I can not rise the volume more than 60% compared to 80-90 in the other EL8 models.

I am pretty sure that they are a win in portable rig world.
Just your iPhone, your Titanium and you.
Great!

Great!

I am curious if they are going to launch the cable for the current models that people already have. Like to compare vs an additional Dac/Amp for the iphone. Would be nice to not have to carry extra stuff.

Anyone heard the titanium with the cipher cable? Interested in thoughts

 
What's titanium about them? The diaphragm is titanium-coated? Or just titanium colored?

In case anyone is considering buying the Audeze carry case for the El-8s......DON'T. It's a terrible fit which will damage your headphones with repeated use. I can't even believe they are selling such a ridiculous product. The design, materials choice and layout were clearly rushed by Audeze to the point it seems this case was bought off the shelf from a random seller who allegedly suited the required dimensions. Poor show for £40.

Anyone else care to comment on this. I just got my case in the mail. I thought it was easy as turning the headphones another way?

No problems.
 
  So have you tried what others suggested? Removing the pads etc?

This still seems like a good suggestion.

Yep I tried all the recommended orientations etc. Of course with some jiggling you'll get them the lid closed but its very tight and definitely not how they should fit if the case was specifically designed for these headphones.
