Just received my very own Noir. Ordered on the 8th of March after work hours, arrived today the 20th early morning. I've had a custom cable from customcans on my DT 1990 Pro's before but man, this build quality is something else - really feels crazy good. Not sure if I can hear a difference...

I find the bass gets a bit more punch to it, might be just in my head though since I got no proof.

Well, I return to this thread to leave the short review I promised to. Albeit later because I honestly have been spending all my free time listening to them almost nonstop. My setup is a Marantz HD-DAC1 on Medium Gain into the Focal Clears with Foobar on WASAPI (event) and FLAC files. My...

I finally got my Clears today, god they're amazing in every way. I think I'll write some lengthier piece about my experience during the weekend. I'm not sure if I reached first stage placebo but on my Marantz HD-DAC1 on low gain the bass is a bit weak, while on medium gain it sounds just...

I mean yes and no...the headband isn't user replaceable and it's not leather either, its this strange leatherette material that while is soft feels very prone to damage and this of course isn't covered under their 5 year warranty, only the drivers are. The points where the ear cup arms pivot are...

I just got off of a 2 week tryout with 2 different pairs of T1 2nd gens, one sub 40k and one above 50k serial number. The higher serial numbers are definitely the less sibilant ones...but... Honestly I've been a fan of Beyer most of my headphone times, I loved the T90 and thought the DT 1990 Pro...

Definitely not a bass head, I like the bass to be precise and present however, which I am told these have.

Hey, I'm looking to maybe pick up a pair of Focal Clears, I have a Marantz HD-DAC1 and I used to own Beyer T90's (that I loved), Beyer DT 1990's (considered them a side-grade and a bit boring sounding) and then Beyer T1 2nd gens (like them but I cant deal with the sharpness). I honestly don't...

So, i just ordered a pair of T 90's from a huge electronics shop here, opened unused (opened to showcase, full warranty etc)...for... Get this 271 Euro = 338$  I feel like a thief 

Thanks a bunch, seems i have my future headphones picked! Will be mostly metal/rock/j-pop. Planning on the o2 odac combo aswell!

Hello,   Could anyone please give me some insight on how these headphones go with metal/rock/fast music? Does it distort when it gets really busy with instruments?   Thanks!

Well i really am just trying to find a shop where i could demo some headphones, but right now to no avail. All recommendations are welcome even if theyre slightly out of the price range since im not buying it right now. Thanks for all the opinions so far! EDIT: I realised i havent given any...

Well im mainly listening to j-pop, so what i mainly need is a hp that can handle the high pitched vocals but can also do great on both more electronic-ish music and more rock-ish tunes. If anyone knows a place where i can demo hp's in Slovakia then please pm me. If im getting signifficantly...

Hello, so about 2/3 years ago i bought the Sennheiser HD-598's with the help of this amazing community and so now that i want new hp's im posting here again. So, i love the HD-598's, but i want more. What i noticed was with really fast music it gets a bit distorted and less clear. I listen to...

So apparently the one i want is sold out on most places at Japan land but it is available on Amazon, is that a legit thing that can happen?   http://www.amazon.com/AAA-Anime-Distribution-Black-Shooter/dp/B00A7NPXOS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380751317&sr=8-1   In particular, that one.
