The EQ you created sounds better than Oratory's to my ears.

YMMV on this - I had LCD-1's that developed a hairline crack and they had to be RMA'd. I don't believe a small amount of headphones being wired incorrectly from what we've seen is the biggest deal for build quality as that is a QC issue, and multiple people have gotten delivered headphones from...

These measurements look questionable because the ATH-M50X doesn't measure like that - no slight against you or how you created the chart - just an interesting thought when I looked up ATH-M50x measurements, but I bet the mids will still show a bump like this just not as pronounced

Have you tried any EQ at all yet? I'm wondering how they would respond with EQ. I'm testing it with mine so far but i'm a novice

Right side distortion/crackle in driver - Replacement pair had the exact same issue - 3rd pair was good

I would never buy anything open box these days from Hifiman if it doesn't have full warranty so make sure you get it direct from hifiman or a qualified vendor w/ warranty. Hifiman doesn't do extended warranties now on open box and recently sold an entire batch of open box stealth's that had mold...

Personally I love mine way more than the sundaras - I'm just not good at reviewing :) The reddit posters that got there's also like them. I've only seen 2 or 3 people that have gotten faulty ones so far.

Someone on reddit just received theres and....they received the 6.35mm to 3.5mm audeze adapter lol.

From someone who works in InfoSec - This is a pretty standard thing at most companies within there ToS. What isn't standard is informing you about it, but it is there choice to have it as a disclaimer. I've seen a former employee fired & prosecuted at my current employer for saving/leaking...

The MM-100 sounds very different than the Edition XS. Where the edition XS seemed wide with elevated bass (for a planar) - the MM-100 feels very engaging and in your face. They feel like completely different headphones to me.

Didn't all of audeze marketing show synthetic leather? That's what retailers were told to. What's the reason there's debate over it? They definitely feel synthetic to me on my head and sweaty but it was 95 degrees here yesterday and 80 in the house

Imaging seems very solid - I can hear every single sound and it's detail - it's just a smaller soundstage - It reminds me of my K7XX's soundstage with better imaging.

I've used the MM-100's for about an hour now. They didn't wow me like the edition XS did but that's because of soundstage...however they are built well, comfortable, and I find them VERY fun. Everything just sounds so nice even though it's not as spread out. These are built better then the...
