Buying from @SLC1966 is a pleasant and great experience. The communication, transparency, packaging, and item condition were fantastic. Shipping was quick to boot! Highly recommended Head-Fi'er 👍

^^ This is true... I used the Gaia app for iOS that @Sebastien Chiu linked to below. Worked like a charm for me.

Thanks for the quick reply and impressions -- I appreciate that. I'm currently in the process of switching things up a bit and trying to decide between the X and Evo... hard choice! Gryphon seems to be a solid investment, though. I'm digging the design, feature set, and UX from a hardware and...

@gLer If memory serves, you have either or both the Legend X or Legend Evo as IEMs -- is that right? If so, any hot takes on how they sound coming out of the Gryphon? Thanks for your feedback here! :beerchug:

I took advantage of the B-Stock New Year deal and will have the Atlas here on Monday. I'm looking forward to them! I think they're going to replace my Noble Dulce Bass IEMs... we'll see. I'm wondering if the now $900 price is simply an adjustment given the release of the Solaris, Equinox, and...

Straight from the source. Check out this post on the first page if you haven't already. I wonder which other non-Audeze planar they tested? Also, I use the Audeze preset in Roon with my 2CB's too. It's a subtle difference but I really enjoy it.

Do let us know what your long term listening impressions are. In my time with the XC and LCD2CB, I found the XC to have a slightly wider soundstage and increased treble presence (which might account for a portion of the soundstage increase). They seemed similar in many ways but I detected a...

I forget this thing has other features sometimes... how are we supposed to tinker with the sound while the bars are dancing to our music? :ksc75smile: Anyone prefer green over cyan? Default over dark?

As a follow-up... The LCD2 Closed Back's fair better than the Elegia in the 'can my wife hear them' test. They aren't the most isolating closed back I've ever owned (the Ultrasone Signature series wins here) but best the Elegia in my listening environment. Also, these have been my favorite...

I'd echo this statement but add that I like the LCD2 closed back pads much better. I'm not a fan of microfiber. The pads on the LCD2 closed backs are thick and supple. Also, the seal on the LCD2 closed backs is incredible. It's one of the first headphones where I can wear my glasses and not feel...

Hi there! I too once had an Elegia and am waiting patiently for my LCD2 closed backs. I auditioned the LCD2 closed backs and XC's a few times and my impressions echo Ken's. The soundstage was just a bit wider on the XC and the treble seemed a bit more upfront. That could have been due to the...

Perhaps... Though, too many good headphones exist in the world to labor over something that doesn't enthrall you from the beginning. :L3000:

Oddly enough, I never even thought to try the Elegia out of a smartphone as I don't travel with or use full sized headphones on the go. At worst, I was listening to them through the DragonFly Red and borrowed Mojo. I did try them out of my Surface Book 2 headphone jack and they sounded fairly...

It's a super clean sounding headphone. And, some tracks had decent bass body and extension, so I could hear how the Elegia might have enough (or more than enough) bass depending on listening preferences. I think the Elegia will continue to be a divisive headphone when it comes to low end...

Hi all, here's a cross post from the Audeze LCD2 closed back thread. I did like the Elegia, they're just not for me. My ears really missed a full, meaty, and rich low end. There's rumble and extension on the Elegia, but solid bass body was lost on these ears...

I'm sending the Elegia back and swapping for the LCD2 closed backs. My wife has never complained about a closed back leaking until the Elegia. They have large ports on each ear cup (Focal logo) and the microfiber pads did little to keep the sound 'in' so to speak. At least in my experience. The...

Good to hear! I really enjoyed the m9xx and would purchase the m900 without reservation. It's one of the better all-in-one solutions I've heard at a reasonable price. The iFi iDSD BL is enticing, but I don't need the full 'swiss army knife' solution. Though, the bass switch would be fun! And, I...

@CaptainFantastic - What are your thoughts on the 2CB and Grace m900 pairing?

I'm curious if anyone here as listened to both the 610's and the Audeze LCD2 closed backs? If so, thoughts, impressions, comparisons, reservations? Cheers!

I just watched/read the TH-909 review over at Minidisc and Lachlan had the following to say about the TH-610's. "Personally speaking, the TH610 is probably my favourite closed headphone on the planet. Even before I began working at Minidisc, I would often come into the store to demo the TH610...

Torq's review over at Headphones.com. The measurements and comparisons with other headphones are really helpful.

Pm'd! @Torq You're in Seattle too, right? Looking forward to your Elegia review. Your picture looks nice with Seattle's pier in the background.

I went into a local shop last week to see if they had the Elegia's in stock. No dice... But, I spent sometime auditioning the Audeze LCD-XC, LCD2 closed backs, Focal Clear's, and Sony ZR1. In the end, I was quite smitten with the LCD2 cb's. To my ears they sounded clean and smooth with deep...

I watched MajorHiFi's review on the LCD2cb's earlier and read the review you linked vs the Focal Elegia. I'm thinking the Elegia is not for me (also have been reading the impressions posted in the Elegia sub). I like the Clear but not near as much as I liked the XC and even less than I like the...

Hi everyone, thanks for your responses. I'm heading out but wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the Audeze ifi iDSD Micro BL pairing. I saw that you recommended the combo for the XC's, how about the LDC2cb's (given 70 vs 20 ohms and being less sensitive, I figure it could be an even better...
