I spent most time listening to portable gear. The most surprising was the Campfire Trifecta. I was almost sure I would leave with it but I listened to the VE10 beforehand and it left enough of an impression that I went back for more and left with that instead. Trifecta had a lot of impact and...

Very initial thoughts. Crimson can get intense for me sometimes, being very dynamic and the way the bass anchors everything else creating a unique sense of space and depth. Mirai seems more in line with what I’m more used to and what I probably expected, in a good way. I have U12t and was...

Only a few hours on these but I’m not disspointed so far. I was slightly concerned about comfort and fit before buying but IEM/cable/tips work together to be very comfortable for me (I do have issues with large nozzles and shells that are both large and heavy). Polite but engaging and good...

Launch Edition arrived. Listening commencing.

I misinterpreted what you were asking. I see what you want to know now and makes sense. I’m traveling but after I get back and spend more time with the Impact I’ll swap cables. You could be right. I have some cables and if I come to any conclusions I’ll share. Still want to give the Impact more...

I just got the Impact a few days ago and owned Bird for a long time so these are early thoughts I can update after more time. I need to get used to the Impact and burn-in can change things. Mids are more forward. Vocals sound great on both but Bird has a touch of classy sweetness that Impact...

Impacts in. Not too shabby

On my second day with the Erco/Hypsos stack. Still figuring it out but I like what I hear so far. I got this for standalone use on my desk for headphones and IEMs (4.4mm jack is appreciated for IEMs) but for fun might feed it with other DACs after I get itchy. I’ve heard OOR at Canjam NYC but...

After a week with LCD-5, I really like them. There is an issue with the finishing on one of the cups which I was disappointed with but the fit is good. LCD-3 will stay for that “old” addictive Audeze weighty creamy sound. Still need to try LCD-5 on other amps. Most of my time has been using...

I've had these for over a month and I'm still sticking these in my ear everyday with a smile. I've mostly been using Dethonray Honey H1, Hugo 1, Fiio M15, iFi Pro iDSD. For fun I tried it briefly with Mscaler/Dave. They all sound good but I'm finding myself reaching for Honey most of the time...

Email them. Super quick with responses. Only took a couple days for them to deliver my zx507 which I ordered recently (US northeast)

I tried Spinfits and Spiral Dots so far. Ordered the SednaEarfit Light Short as recommended by ranfan and others. I got the Luna a week ago - burning in constantly and have been listening to them a lot because we're stuck inside. I really like the signature.

Bass seems to be discussed a lot. I think there is a forceful weight behind the bass…its very capable and enjoyable. Not overbearing but has good impact. It's a deep (rumbly when it needs to), fast anchor. It doesn't get in the way but is always there to the degree it needs to be. The Legend X...

You have good taste.

A few weeks ago I got my Verums with one channel way way louder than the other. I contacted Garuspik and he offered free leather pads so I decided not to ask about return shipping. Went to USPS and paid about $25 to ship back. Waited about 3-4 weeks and got it back yesterday. Only did a quick...

I understand what you mean about Phantom being dry. Last years NYC CanJam I tried the Legend next to Phantom for hours and strongly preferred the Legend and my Zeus. Phantom even seemed muffled. A little later I was able to spend much more time with the universal Phantoms and the dryness...

I don't own any 64 Audio products but have heard them several times and CanJams. I do own EE Legend X and Phantom, Shure KSE, along with Lola...with the EEs being custom. My overall favorite is Phantom but I still really enjoy the Lola for it's vocal quality, smoothness, and analog-y type...

Mine has been burning in for a few days, though I have listened to them for a few hours. Sounds good so far but still changing. Bummed that Fedex opened mine up and tampered with them. They came a few days late because the "barcode label was unreadable and replaced" so they decided to open...

Who knows. I don't agree with much of what he says about other gear. I think contrasting reviews/impressions can be helpful...and plus much of us are waiting for our pre-orders to ship so this gives us something else to look at in the meantime.

Interesting take on Verite from Z Reviews youtube

Unfortunately I can't answer you - I'm not on v2.0 beta but when I do install it I will let you know.

Roon from microRendu

The best synergy for me is with Phonitor X, usually with matrix feature engaged. I own GSXmk2 and heard V281 a few times. The GSXmk2 is a beast with more power than Phonitor but seems to add a bit of aggressiveness to the upper mids/treble that I don't prefer. But it grips the bass by the...

Great post buffer. A lot of good info that I agree with. There is a bloom in the midbass that can become intrusive, either based on the music/gear pairing or subjective preference. This also makes it more enjoyable/lively for some, especially with certain types of music like rock where D8000...

I think the bass changes most through burn in, taming down and getting a bit tighter. It was looser, fuzzier, bouncier, rounder out of the origami box. But I agree, if there is one flaw with the sound of this headphone it's that the midbass is a bit elevated and can become a little distracting...
