FYI, these are over a thousand $ for most EU countries after import duties. Why would anyone do that for 700?

Well, i guess the ÆON gets the

Anyone else noticed the 'air pressure' (sorry, not sure how to describe it properly) you get when you just pop the Aeons on, and they obtain full seal around your ears? Havent felt anything like that on any of my other HP's. That is one tight seal.

The bass is indeed very precise and controlled. It's just missing a tad on some tracks. The inserts doesnt change much for me tbh.

Heres my initial impressions after only 1-2 hours (no burn-in, no inserts, Grace Design M9XX, stock cable); In only one word: smooth! Everything blends together so well across the spectrum. Theres no harshness to the treble at all, its all very well balanced. Details, and lots of them, but...

Eventually got in touch with FAW here on head-fi, Matt upgraded my original order wich is nice. My order apparently got lost in their system for some unknown reason. I'm still waiting for a confirmation that the cable has been shipped however (no tracking number so far). I do have faith that the...

Sounds like my setup - Grace M9xx with a pair of TH-X00 (with ZMF lambskin pads). Really interested to read your comparison!

? Speaking of its design, extremely favourable :)

Ugh yeah i can totally relate to this, being in the 118xx myselfe. Very excited to read about the foam inserts in regards to the bass. And quite interesting about the burn-in time. Guess theres only one way to find out if its all true - try them out for ourselves :o2smile:

I've been eyeing the Sony's for some time, would be interesting to have full comparison!

Awesome. My one worry with these cans was the bass really.

Grace Design M9XX with home made cable (ugh to soldering those 4-pin Hirose connecters)

Hello forum   I'm going to make my first custom cable for my MrSpeakers AEON/ÆON's.   As far as i understand, they use the same connecters (HiRose) as the Ethers and Mad Dogs: https://mrspeakers.com/shop/3-accessories/cable-plugs-male-for-alpha-dog-and-mad-dog-custom-cables/   Do any of...

I have owned my pair of TH-X00 Purplehearts since the first drop. I have always loved their sound signature. But as time passed, i found myselfe using them much less than i had first anticipated and planned for, mainly due to one (major) reason: comfort issues! Those stock pads (of doom) digging...
