    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Jason, thank you very much for your reply! I did purchase it from a B&M store just a few days shy of 2 years ago! Perfect timing for the headphones to die :D

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Well, the right channel of my Elear suddenly stopped working. There were no signs of earlier problems and they eren't dropped. I sent an email to my dealer, asked him to arrange for repair. I purchased them 2 years ago, 1.5 year ago Focal replaced them due to creaking headband. The replacement...

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I'm also driving my Elear with a Mojo and I love what I'm hearing! You might be the right person to talk me out off getting a Lyr3+Multibit :) The convenience of the Mojo cannot be beaten, I use it with my laptop all around the house... But the warm glow of a vacuum tube, the non-mass produced...

    Lyr 3 - The new Coherence™ and Continuity™ hybrid amplifier from Schiit - Impression & discussion thread

    Thank you for the explanation! The Mojo is a small, 0.4 lbs portable gadget while the Lyr 3 is a 6 lbs desktop amp. They should be in a different leauge, I just wanted to make sure they really are. I love the idea of the Lyr 3 as a hybrid headamp with an integrated and upgradable DAC!

    Lyr 3 - The new Coherence™ and Continuity™ hybrid amplifier from Schiit - Impression & discussion thread

    OK, I wasn't focusing on MQA, just on moving towards lossless or hi-res audio. MQA is just the means to stream that. It's not an amp, and it's not just a quality dac, it's a portable DAC/amp. It's very capable to drive the my 80 Ohm Elear. Also it's not an off the shelf delta-sigma, its a...

    Lyr 3 - The new Coherence™ and Continuity™ hybrid amplifier from Schiit - Impression & discussion thread

    The Chord Mojo is a $550 DAC+Amp combo, so I'm not sure why you thought it was much more expensive. The Lyr 3 + Multibit DAC is $700. I actually use a Mojo with my Elears, but I'm wondering if the Lyr 3 Multibit card would be a significant upgrade. The Elear's are easy to drive, I'm not sure how...

    My second pair is creaking when I'm wearing them, this is why I'm going to keep them. Love these headphones paired with the Mojo!

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I think we are talking about the same sound just call it differently... This is how my first pair sounded. I made this video to demonstrate it to Focal. They replaced the headphones, but the new pair developed the same issue in a couple of months. It doesn't matter how far the band is extended:

    Focal acted they didn’t really know what I was talking about but they replaced my headphones with a new pair. That didn’t creak for a couple months, but now they are as bad as the old ones were. I kind of gave up on this...

    Thank you very much for your reply and the coupon, it did work! I ordered the short cable, it's funny that it's more expensive than the longer one :)

    Is this the cable you are referring to? https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/audiophile-connection-cable-1-40-m.html

    I too listen on double green on my Mojo, the Elears never popped.

    Win a SUSVARA

    I replaced my HD-700 with the HE-400i. This is the only way I would let my HE-400i go. I don't think I deserve it more than anyone else on this forum, but I will donate my HE-400i to charity if I am the lucky winner.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I purchased my Elear in September. Both sides make pretty loud creaking sounds when they are being twisted or stretched. Turns out I move my head a lot while listening to music, and this noise is pretty distracting. Most reviewers praised Focal for the outstanding build quality of these...

    They require at least 200 hours burn-in, 400 hours will settle them completely. The sound quantitatively improves by 60%: 10% more heights, 10% more bass extensinon, 20% more resolution, 20% better imaging.

    Your suggestions about Utopia / Elear

    I have purchased an Elear, I love it, it lives up to the hype. It will replace my HD-700 and HE-400i. I will miss the comfort and light wight of the HD-700. I have one concern: the padding on the band doesn't seem to be replaceable. It will go flat in a few years. Can you please comment on your...

      Thanks for the suggestion. The Onkyo HF Player can only play locally stored files. It doesn't work with Apple Music, because those files are DRM protected. It can play my iTunes Match files or Hi-Res files I load to the app.      Thanks for your reply, this makes perfect sense for me. I...

    NOBLE Savant Thread (Impressions, Reviews, Tours)

    I bought a pair of Savants last year during the Black Friday promotion as an impulse buy. I wanted to replace my aging Triple-Fi-s and try something much newer. What a great buy this was! I listen to music every day now, I often find that rare audio bliss, when I can’t believe the fidelity I’m...
