    From ultra open to closed, suggestions?

    So I finally gave in and went to a store to give a listen. I took a 36hr+ break from my main rig to get used to 'inferior' sound before auditioning. Well, there was little need. Denon D9200 and Focal Elegia both sound very wonderfully bright and excellent headphones. Closed cans sure have come...

    Oh yes, Focal Elegia could be something. Thanks for recommendation. Stellia falls outside my immediate budget :)

    From ultra open to closed, suggestions?

    T5p ... yes. This is one can I have access to, can give a listen. Have you by chance listened to Ultrasone Editions 7, 8? Supposedly they're very good at isolation. It's funny many reviews say that AFC isolate very well and T5p on the other hand is only adequate. I suspect it's not that simple...

    Wandering around, seems like Mr Speakers AEON Flow Closed is a perfect match. Bass is not overpowered, decent isolation, great highs. Will be reading more about these. Of course, no local distribution for these either. But they're half of the price of the Ultrasones that I previously was...

    From ultra open to closed, suggestions?

    After a decade of ultra open sound, looking for well isolating closed cans. AKG K1000 has been my poison for a decade now, not having desires for anything better. Just love the sound presentation, effortless treble, great dynamics, all that. But the ultra openness presents difficulties at times...

    I get WOWs out of my system constantly, and I've had my K1000s for a decade :)

    Yeah, I think it's one of the few IEMs being worthy of even being mentioned in the same context as K1000. But let's not derail this topic :-)

    Wonderful news. :) I've had my K1000s for almost a decade now, as my daily drivers. Nothing else has piqued my interest and there are only very small improvements I could wish of them. I'm certain MySphere would satisfy me to no end but fate is as cruel as can be, with the ultra open...

    Great (state-of-the-art) IEM setup for home environment?

    I think I'll study current custom offerings with a close eye. The amps don't have to be portable although I suspect there are reasons why there are no 10 feet extension cords for IEMs. ;) It's heaven. Unlike normal cans, with K1000 the music seems to materialize out of nowhere. It has been...

    Great (state-of-the-art) IEM setup for home environment?

    Hello everyone. Looking all-arounder IEM setup for music and movies. I would prefer best possible isolation and good comfort for multi-hour sessions. Source: a Linux machine. DAC: I have one (Electrocompaniet ECD-1 which is on the warmer side) but new ones can be suggested. Wireless...

    Out of some DACs I've had the Electrocompaniet ECD-1 has been the best match for K1000.

    C-Numb, one of the 9-minute runs.

    Sherwood owned the set once (Googled and got cool pics!) but I tried pm'ing him to no avail. I have to presume he used the speaker outs as intended.

    Thanks but I really could use a one-box solution. Otherwise I'll stick with the current set until I have buffer for the F1/F2. The Electrocompaniet is taking some space so that counts as well.
