Hey, sorry for the late reply. Sorry I'm not interested in trades (unless its for plus cash deal witth some Focal Clears or LCD-X hehe). I'm still open to offers on these though, they are not sold, and they are still not getting use.

German-made audiophile headphones, legendary for their deep bass and super clean & detailed treble. Loved them for years but barely used them the last couple of years, hence the regretful sale. More of a speaker guy these days, and have other more unwieldy home headphones. These retail for over...

OK, so I got my Elegias in the mail today, along with my Dekoni Sheepskin elite pads, AND the THX789 Amp (all from different places)! First proper headphone amp I've had in years. Feeding it from my Focusrite Scarlett 4i4. Not balanced yet - need to find a nice 4pin XLR cable for the Elegia...

Sorry in advance if this is off topic for this thread.. I actually just got a used Elegia and plan to pad swap and eq as per your mention. Can't wait to try it. Resolve/headphoneshow on YouTube has been super helpful info. My question is in regards to the Sundara vs LCDX. I've always wanted an...

This is good to hear :) I just purchased a cheap pair second hand, waiting for them in the mail. With dekoni sheepskin elite pads and some EQ, I think they might keep me off headfifor a while too (until I'm after some high end open backs like the Clear MGs or LCD-X which Ive wanted for a long...

I had the exact same kinda purchase dilemma. I really like the look of the Radiance and Celestee (in that order, Elegia 3rd place). However I can't justify spending that much on something that I'm not sure if I will like the sound of. So I've decided to by a cheap used Elegia and try it out, and...

True! But uglier...what's with the gold?:Are they marketing it at gangster rappers?

Thanks for the input! Its very tempting to try them out and see if I like various characteristics of the Focal sound. Having to EQ is annoying but a lot of people say headphones like LCDX need EQ to sound great too. I guess its all subjective and whatever makes them more pleasing. I've always...

Interesting. I still have my signature DJs but they don't get much use anymore. Although I listened to them today and was blown away by how hard that bass hits. I'm after something more neutral/'pro', so these are intriguing. Dislike the look of all of them though...

Thanks! Interesting.. I didn't expect that the 1540s would be deeper or more bassheavy than radiance! I thought the radiance were more bassy/warm than Elegia and Celestee etc. (maybe it's midbass) All the other characteristics of the Focals you mention are something I'd value and like to...

Hey guys. I am able to get these used at a great price ($400 Canadian). The pads look like they'd need replacing but for my preferences I think the Dekoni sheepskin or Stellia pads would be necessary anyway (plus wearing glasses). So I'll have to factor in that cost, plus a better cable. Should...

Given that you have some Focals, how to the Shures compare? Does the 1540s sub go as low and detailed? Are they 'boring' compared to the Focals and lacking in dynamic punch in comparison or anything? Or is it fairly close but just more neutral? As far as looks and video calls go, I do think the...

I hadn't considered the 1540s! They seem like they'd fit the bill. Certainly the alcantara would be comfy. The only shures I ever owned were 840s many years ago and I wasn't a fan, totally different though

Interesting. I just gathered from comparisons/reviews that Elegia was a little bit wider than Celestee which is more 'in your head'. Elegia has been described as a closed back Clear. Seems like it has some weird peaks and that Celestee is more neutral. I'm after a closed back that is close to...

Interesting! At such a cheap price I'm thinking I should get them. Heart/ears say yes, brain/wallet say no. The problem with this addiction..
