    Looking for: Open Planars up to 1500€ for enjoyment

    Unfortunately i have not come across some, only some cables and grills. WTB posting is of course always an option, have not done that here yet but tbf i never had HE 500s and i cannot be sure if they are really worth it, no offense at all, they obvs have fans :relieved:

    Looking for: Open Planars up to 1500€ for enjoyment

    I can't imagine the differences tbh., is there any way to describe that? Currently i am listening to Empy's. They are quite dark, much more so than i imagined but on the other hand, i don't have the issue with my left ear that i have with my other headphones where it gets painfull to listen to...

    Looking for: Open Planars up to 1500€ for enjoyment

    Honestly, is 17-1800 for an Empy a good value over an, say, LCD X or 2..

    Looking for: Open Planars up to 1500€ for enjoyment

    Would that be true for the HE6se V2 as well? Isn't the HE6se more neutral/bright in general? How would you describe it. It's also nuts that the price dropped to around 700€

    Looking for: Open Planars up to 1500€ for enjoyment

    @TWerk i honestly will keep my eye out for them, but given that i haven't been able to find one for month, i am not sure i can add these to the list of what i want to get more-or-less *right now*. I have heard lots about them though and i really would like to try them for myself for sure...

    Looking for: Open Planars up to 1500€ for enjoyment

    To be honest, i have heard that the HE500 are (supposedly, i have not heard it myself mind you) not as good for electronic music and can be a bit spikey with the highs in certain situations. With that being said, i once tried to find one but within half a year that was a no-go.. so that makes it...

    Looking for: Open Planars up to 1500€ for enjoyment

    Hello everyone, so after my Oppo PM-3, my first Planar, is basically desintegrating at this point, i am looking to upgrade. I have looked at reviews for: - Audeze LCD-2 Classic - Audeze LCD-2 - Audeze LCD-X - Meze Empyrean (b.c. i can get them for around 1700-1800€ used) - Hifiman Arya - Dan...

    ASUS Xonar STU Control Center?

    Hi,   just bought a Xonar STU. And if i click on "Asus Audio Center" (same with my old Xonar DX), instead of the ASUS Xonar Control Panel popping up, i'm just getting a information Panel which lists Driver Version AND Audio Center Version (so it IS installed??).   Any ideas why? Or is this...

    Audeze EL-8 vs Oppo PM-3 Impressions

    Has anyone seen this review here? http://referencehometheater.com/review/oppo-pm-3-headphones-review/   Quite a lot of praise. To be honest i think it's too much praise for me to take it as a serious review, i don't know :) (Reading something bad about a HP: "ah meh they suck!" vs. reading...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    Would you say that an Oppo Pm-3 plus magni 2 uber/modi 2 uber on a desktop system is a 'better' choice than the same amp/dac combo with an El-8? A couple of posts ago i read about a lot of improvement with the El-8 and that specific amp/dac combo, hm..

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    Really curious how these connector issues with the el-8 are spreaded (maybe already fixed at production?) with possible loose contacs between the two plugs and the headphone and how tight they hold. Can they be easily popped out with a quick accidental jank on the cable or are they tight and...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

      I'm pretty sure he meant you haha :D   Well it's going to be a tough decision. I guess i'm not a typical basshead. I like bass heavy music but i dislike uncontrolled bass, bleeding everywhere and wobble throughout the song. Man i wish i could test them for myself ^^ i don't want to EQ the...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    Is there THAT much difference between the EL-8 and the Oppo regarding bass quantity and slam/hard-hitting-ness of the bass?

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

      Thank you for your impressions :) To be honest i kinda prefer impressions from someone who just enjoys music since i plan to do just that. May i ask what sources you were using? Did you try them out with high bitrate MP3s or let's say HQ Spotify playback or something like that? Maybe i'll get...
