Sorry, really can't say anymore. Haven't listened to the 535 in a while since I got my Lyra II. Actually, my Lyra II, 535, Focal Clear and Meze 99 Classics are pretty much semi retired. Back to 2 channel stereo for now :)

There are two sleeves and the memory wire is is between the two. Just removing the outer sleeve and pulling out the memory wire while leaving the inner sleeve worked for me. [with the camber that came with the Lyra II] Just need a pair of nail scissors and a small pair of pliers to pull the...

I owned the HD800S for two years and went to the Clear. I wanted an HP that was more engaging and fun. Giving up a little detail and sound state with better bass and richer mids was worth the fun/engaging factor. Though I miss the huge soundstage at times.

Personally, no. Wouldn't use the HD800S (too thin sounding) now that I have the Clear so I sold them. That's just me. YMMV. Have the Meze 99 Classics as my fun sounding HP when I want a change.

Totally agree. Had the HD800S for about 2 years and found them lean in general. Got the Clear last week and although not perfect, their fuller body sound made it for me. Would love the Clear to have the soundstage/imaging of the HD800S but clearly Clear are more engaging and fun.

OK.. quoting myself - after 6 years with the Sennheiser HD800 and then the HD800S, got a pair of Focal Clear yesterday. Let them run for a few hours and am quite pleased with them. Miss the crazy headspace of the HD800S but he the Clear are more musical, full and fun while maintaining nearly...

CR@P!! Went into Hedphoneshop today to get a pair of closed back for my AK300 for when I don't want to run IEMs. Mostly for around the house. Always been intrigued by the Clear but never heard them.. until today. Ended up falling in love with the Maze 99 Classics for the AK but auditioned them...

Benn using the AK300 for a while and went into Headfoneshop to get a pair of closed backs to use with it. Ended up walking out with the Meze 99 Classics and the SR-15. Wonderful combination for around the house. I love the AK300 but the form factor and UI speed of the SR15 is amazing. From my...

Yup.. that's the one :)

They are sweet.My first venture into CA.. Love mine and use the daily with an AK300. Enjoy!!

Hi, no, it's this one: https://campfireaudio.com/shop/litz-cable/

Had the same problem with my Lyra II - Spiral Dots worked for me.

Congrats on the MHA100 - had my version of it {MXA70 with the matching McIntosh speakers} for about 3 years now and love it. Pretty much my end game.

Finally nailed it with the Lyra II and got it sounding and fitting in a way that works for me. First of all, with a little micro surgery, stripped off the memory wire and thanks to the suggestions in this forum, got the JVC SpiralDots. Thrilled with them running out of an AK300.

Totally with you. Love my Lyra II's. Nice combo with the AK300 {and sexy!}.. just waiting for my Spiral Dots to come in.. Best thing I've done so far is to strip off the memory wire so fitting much better now :)
