This is an excellent way of describing them. :thumbsup:
Especially with the right cable. The Elear gets even better. I have had a love hate relationship with my Elear. Now it is pure love.

Curious what you all store or carry your Elears around in? Any zippered/padded cases that work particularly well for them?
I use this.

Earlier today I went along to Audio Sanctuary (Greater London), armed with my Mojo, to trial a few open cans. In the line-up was the Beyer T1.2, the LCD-2, and the Elear.

Long story short; came away with an Elear

Enjoy. I am a fan of mine though I'd like to get the HD800(S) another chance and compare. Only had a HD800 for a short while when it was fairly new.

The hd800 or hd800s would be a complimentary pair in my opinion. Will get a wider soundstage in general and less intimate than the Elear. (Which is not a bad thing in this regard). The hd800s just has a bit more warmth then the original 800 (and more bass) but that might be of more interest if you like the warmth... if not then hd800 like you know will be more neutral.

Hey does anyone know how the WA8 Eclipse or the WA6 SE sound out of the Elear? Thanks.

Both the Elear and Utopia pair very well with the WA8. I haven't spent any time with the 6SE on the Focals
