Well, I was definitely sold on the Aeon Flow Opens. I couldn't resist the sound signature compared to my EL-8 Opens. I loved my EL-8, but I feel the AFO is going to be more the style that I enjoy. I also feel the AFO achieves my desire to get a good pair that is more comfortable than the...

Oh okay, I wasn't sure if I was reading that right. I always liked how the EL-8 open sounded to me. I actually think that I will buy either the Aeon Flow Open or Aeon Flow Closed. They both have gushing reviews, so I don't think I can go wrong with either one, because it seems people really...

Overall, I didn't have problems with the EL-8 as far as comfort, but there were times that I felt like it was bothering me. I hesitate to get a headphone that is heavier, but I do love Audeze and I like the design of that headband. It would be a tough choice between the LCD2 Classic closed or...

Hmmm, that is an intriguing idea. I never thought about the LCD2-Classic, but the price is certainly right. How is the weight and comfort level on the LCD2 in comparison to the EL-8 that you have? I'm sure it is heavy like most of their headphones are, but is it heavier than the EL-8 or about...

Well, sadly, my EL-8 Opens that i always loved for home use are now toast along with . While on a vacation with family, I had them in the trunk of a vehicle that was seriously rear-ended by a distracted driver. The car's trunk was really smashed up, but the people are fine and just simply have...

Indeed, I definitely agree with that assessment and feel that it would have also felt very comfortable, too.  What part of it boiled down to is this is a Christmas gift for our father, and my siblings preferred the Momentum partly because of the good price but mostly because they were able to...

I didn't realize the Best Buy just north of me actually had the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 as well as the Sony MDR-1A available and on display, as well as other products.  I know that my ears are similar in size to his, but he has a larger head.  He has borrowed the M-100s and they were...

I agree, i think he'd love the HD 598, but it seems it also needs to be a closed back headphone.  Upon investigating, it seems the people he's around on a daily basis want the sound to be isolated when he's listening to it, and he also needs exterior sound to be minimal when he's listening to...

Hello, everyone!  I've posted in here before, but i've always followed Head-Fi's forums and site regardless.  For myself, I purchased an EL-8 open-backed headphone this year (3 or 4 months ago, I think) after inquiring on here about them.  They were absolutely the best choice for me and...

Fantastic!  Good to hear that they are only selling the new ones.  I'm glad I checked with you people first!  I can read various reviews til i'm blue in the face, but if I can't get to a set in real life to hear it for myself, Head-Fi users are the next best thing, I think .  I will buy them...

It certainly sounds like the obvious choice is the new EL-8 Open for 2016.  Tighter, more detailed bass is very much desired, but the better treble response would be huge for me.  I do love the PM-3, don't get me wrong, but the descriptions of the EL-8 O treble sound much better.  Personally, I...

Well, yes I guess you could say that I was looking for something similar to the PM-3's sound signature.  Upon re-thinking my previous postings, I would say that I am looking for which one is definitely better than the PM-3.  I figured an open-back headphone was an obvious choice, since I plan on...

Ahh okay.  I've heard such varying items about the EL-8 headphones that I had a hard time making a choice.  Steve Guttenberg's review of the Nighthawk, which he compared to the EL-8 with music that he heard in person as well, was intriguing to me.  How he and others on these forums have...

I've been scouring some of these pages the past few days to check out impressions of the updated Audeze EL-8 headphones.  I see the bass response of the EL-8 Open seems to have improved, if i'm reading the postings right.  I currently own the Oppo PM-3 and I do not plan on getting rid of it.  I...

Well I think I will keep on looking for now.  I am intrigued by reviews of the Nighthawks, as well as the detailed explanations of what makes them unique.  I may consider the Nighthawks as well.
