How's the soundstage, separation, and detail retrieval on the closed-back version?
hi superpang! Don't worry you're not the only one. Mines not working properly as well. The same as yours left side is also dead.
So we have two duds in the half dozen or so that have received them so far...not a great batting average.
I was also unaware of the significant variations in sound from one pair to another - doesn't sound like an outfit ready for the big leagues.
I might still give them a listen but what I once thought might be my next and last headphone continues to shoot itself in the foot.

I thought this was pretty well known? Two Audezes side by side that are the supposed to be the same model and revision can sound very different.
Stay updated on Audeze at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

Just wanted to announce that we've just published full EL-8 Open-back review (probably first in the world!) at http://zakupek.pl/test/sluchawki/recenzja-audeze-el-8-open-back/ . It's available in Polish, but it should be still understandable via Google Translate. Enjoy!

Well that's good to hear.Hello Bill, high-technology roll-outs can be somewhat fraught, especially given the robbery that put us on our back foot for a week or so. We've carefully examined the failed EL-8s and found a soldering fault. It's been corrected in production so no one who buys a pair will face that issue.
Thank you,

I would like to know what people think of this too, particularly the soundstage part!
