This actually makes perfect sense to me, K812 is more well rounded and thicker for everything else. I listen to a massive range of genres, and I need a jack of all trades to tick my boxes. I feel like the THX789 has more than proved itself with time. Measures amazingly for the price with ample...

I can understand that and I appreciate the effort and work that goes into them, I'm just miffed that we get the 15% off like everyone else.

Not much a of a discount then :/, still very interested probably be hunting a demo for these, cheers.

How about soundstage and imaging improvements? And is the 15% on top of the 15% discount for pre-orders?

Try to use it with a slightly warm source eg. Mojo.

So any comparisons/news/discounts/upgrade pricing for the original Aether owners?

Anyone know how to feasibly get replacement earpads, mine are super peeled off, and thomann is charging bloody 50 euros to ship to Malaysia, while the local harman support wants 75 usd a piece with a 6-8 week waiting time, goddamit Samsung/Harman.

I'm just loving that Fibonacci grill, taken some notes from Sony eh?

If you're from Hong Kong as listed by your profile you are in very good hands, I'm sure there are other Hong Kees on the forum willing to help but a quick search online should yield results, HK has lots of stores offering CIEMs for you to try before committing unless you like being at the mercy...

Aether best feature is it's tonality imo, I hope it's successor improves on airiness, spaciousness, resolution and separation. I think the Bass is more special than the Treble on the Aether, I would describe it as "Airy Bass", it feels like it's coming from beyond the normal soundstage while...

Just buy the cheapest, I mean if it's the same master it wouldn't make any difference, if space is a problem for you you can always downsample it.

Yeah but at some point you're not even upgrading, you're just choosing factors of a headphone you might like, like Utopia has nothing on the sound stage and airiness of the K812.

That worries the crap out of me, I'm leaving on December I've consulted Matt and he says I'll be able to get it before then, hopefully mine wasn't delayed in any circumstance.

What's the turn around this time around now? I'm hoping to get my cable a few days before Christmas...

Are the cables in the web store G2?
