It's from your ears touching the film that covers the drivers, the same thing happens to me when I adjust them or take them off/put them on

Depends, I doubt it'll continue taking 5 months though because Ryan started taking less orders per drop and up until March he was still dealing with pre-orders alongside regular orders at a higher volume, so the queue will start to naturally decrease.

Can confirm the full power of the Milo!

Ran them both through my brand new Wells Audio Milo, which made a huge difference in terms of power for the Tungstens than when I was first using them last week from my Topping A90D. Previously, you could definitely tell that they were lacking that last maybe 10% in presence, especially on the...

Just did a side by side with my DS Tungstens and my old LCD-X's. The first thing you immediately notice is the comfort, man does it feel awkward going back to the LCD-X's after the Tungstens, like the Tungstens aren't actually that much lighter I don't think, but but they truly feel so much more...

Not surprising that Cerakote would have a color resembling military drab considering Cerakote's primary use-case seems to be for painting guns, they know their target audience :joy:

I dunno about new discoveries, but I think the Topping A70 Pro at $499 or the Jot 2 that others have mentioned might be your best bet if you don't want to spend too much on powering the Tungsten. The Topping paired with any DAC capable of balanced output of 4v should be more than enough to power...

Just got my pair of DS'es in the mail today, praise be to Ryan! Did anyone else notice the smell they came with, or is that just me? I don't know how to describe it, it's sort of like the smell of a new car, I love it. I can't tell if it's the metal or the Cerakote on the grills or what but it's...

As someone still waiting on a pre-order, I can unfortunately confirm that not all pre-orders have been done yet either, that being said I think I was one of the very last pre-orders, I got mine in towards the end of October. I think he's been working on both regular orders and pre-orders in...

The Wells Audio Milo is also on the approved list according to Goldwerger's review. I met Jeff Wells at Capitol Audiofest in November and talked about the Tungstens with him and he claimed that the Milo was Zach from ZMF's favorite amp to listen to the Tungstens on (even more so than ZMF's own...

Yeah, that's why I went with the single sided as well, y'all can keep your 1% extra details and resolution, gimme that sweet warmth. Plus for a more honest answer I also demo'ed the Single Sided and already loved it and I can compartmentalize my FOMO for there being a "more advanced" version (or...

Lotteries are just as easy to game as drops (if not easier because depending on its implementation a person could easily sign up multiple times themselves) if we're taking at face value that scalpers with bots are the ones taking up orders, which I doubt that there are many of if at all, I think...

His SS isn't the latest, but he also has a latest version DS he got from Ryan as well in November at Capitol Audiofest from what Ryan told me a couple months back.

As long as it's called The Tungstenometer

Nice, I went with a gold color on the grills for my order so I'm glad to see they have golden looks to go with the golden sound 😜
