    New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation

      I just ordered a Jotunheim , with the DAC, which is supposed to be very analytical. I guess I will find out if that theory is true.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    For anyone looking for another cable for the Elear, my Beyerdynamic T5P.2 cable works perfectly with the Elear and it looks good too. I'm going to order a second cable 1.4m so that I don't have to use the ridiculous cable it comes with.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I own both.    The TH-900 are better for EDM, in that they focus more on the lower frequencies, with detail and impact. The Elear has bass and you can feel it, but it isn't the same thing. The TH900 bass isn't bloated though, not like, say the Shure SRH1540, which sounds super bloated and...

    New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation

    They are very similar in imaging, even their sound signature seems very similar. The Elear are warmer though. When I listen to Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats, the guitar has more weight behind it in the Elear. It is not a huge difference, but it is noticeable.   There are some songs where the...

    New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation

    I just got these tonight and I am really enjoying these cans so far. A different sound from my Elear and TH900s, but in a good way. They sound just as good, but with a better seal for noise reduction.   I listen to a lot of electronic music and these are perfect for that on the go, or at home...

    Audeze EL-8 Closed Version Impressions Thread

    They block noise with or without music playing. As for plane noise, you would have to look at the frequency chart for that. Most headphones don't block noise that low very well, but with music, it would be better.

    Audeze EL-8 Closed Version Impressions Thread

    I notice the sound becomes muffled if the headphones shifts on one ear or the other. I notice it most if I am laying down with them on. If I stop moving then it evens out, and I don't notice it while sitting or standing.

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Generally speaking it isn't an issue. The small size appeals to me for portability, bringing it to work, or using it with my laptop when I travel. I don't have any headphones that I can't run out of my phone if I am on public transit, which isn't often, and I care more about distraction than...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

        LH LABS - GEEK OUT V2 INFINITY I haven't decided yet, but I might go with an LH Labs Geek Out V2 Infinity. Need to read some reviews of it. But the specs and portability seem great.   "Geek Out V2 Infinity is the most transparent DAC you can find, supporting PCM up to 32/384 kHz and DSD up...

    Yeah, the shop has a 15 day return/exchange policy, so I just sent them an email. Should be able to visit them on Saturday to deal with it as it is within 15 days. Not sure if I will stick with the Mojo or get something else instead.

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

      Sure. I've had this for four days now. I had it in a felt pocket with a usb cable otherwise it hasn't rubbed up against anything potentially hard. Those marks are not possible from a USB cable, and if it had been that you would see the bare metal not the coating you see over those marks.

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Except you don't see that with a dvd player, PC cases or most other amps/dacs and so on.   It just shows a lack of professionalism that you would think it's OK to sell a product that is damaged right out of the box. Maybe they take more care on their more expensive gear, but it isn't as though...

    Anyone else run into quality control issues with their mojo? I just received mine in the mail a couple of days ago and just noticed that there are gouges in the metal around the volume down ball. It is all coated, so it looks like the metal was that way when they coated it and then put it...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I don't know how they do it, but I love it. I don't think there is another headphone out there that could beat the TH900 at what it does. My favorite genre is electronic music, especially EDM and it blows everything else out of the water.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    To my ears, TH900 > Elear > EL-8C   The TH900 has the instrumentation further away than the Elear, so in some ways the Elear is easier to hear the placing of instruments, but I like the presentation of the TH900.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Compared to the TH900? I'm listening to them right now after just listening to the same song with the Elear and EL-8C and the sound stage sounds amazing. Maybe the Elear is better, but all the sound is also much closer. I was listening to Infected Mushroom - Nutmeg and on the TH900 it's...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Electronic music is my main genre so the TH900 is great for that. I did buy the Elear and they are really great too for just about everything else. They aren't bad for EDM, but they aren't as fun as the TH900s.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I've been on a bit of a TOTL kick lately buying the Fostex TH900 and now the Focal Elear. I have to say that the Elear are something special. I'm not sure I need anything else other than these two cans. Maybe Keep my EL-8C for office use and my SE846 for mobile use. I guess maybe the HD800 would...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Reading comments from some people they speak as though it is a bloated bass cannon. I guess they like zero impact to their headphones.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Anyone compare these to the Fostex TH900? I can't find a comparison of the two anywhere and it seems like they would be two headphones that would be similar in nature if not price point.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    TH900s are to my mind the best bass can around. I've got the Shure 1540s, Pro900s, EL-8C and the SE846s and the TH900s are just something special. The emphasis just the right frequencies to make music so much fun to listen to. Listening to my 1540's afterwards just makes the base seem bloated...

    Audeze EL-8 Closed Version Impressions Thread

    I just received a pair of closed EL-8 headphones today and I am really enjoying them.   These are my first planar magnetic headphones and they seem really smooth compared to the other headphones I own. I don't know what the complaints were about with these things. Maybe the 2015 version was...

    Hifimann He-560 vs Audeze EL-8 (open)

    It is my understanding that the 2016 revision of the el-8 closed and open have the same tech as in the Titanium.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    If you like the TH900 sound signature then you will like the SE846. I use the dark filter with them and the detail seems to my ears to be equal, and almost the same sound signature. I'm sure better ears could make out subtle differences. Maybe it's the dark filter but the highs are a little more...
