    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    Did you buy them brand new? If so, did you burn them in? Burn in is real for some head/earphones, and these are on that list. For most people in this thread 200 hours seems to be the magic number, although improvements are noticed sooner.

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    If it is just the outer faceplate that fell off and you still have it, you can just glue it back on. I had that happen a couple of years ago out of nowhere while I was at the airport and luckily I was able to buy some super glue at the gift shop. A few small drops in strategic places (trying to...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I have concerns that RHA is not working on a CL3 after reading this on their CL2 web page the other day... "The CL2 Planar was a limited production project, pushing the boundaries of wireless audio technology" They are no longer making/selling the CL2.

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    After a year and a half I am still enjoying my CL2's immensely. Kind of bummed to not see anything about a CL3 in development. I was thinking of getting a good set of bluetooth over ear headphones to get more power and LDAC, but decided to buy a FiiO LC-BT2 neckband to replace the stock one...

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    While I did enjoy the Pandas wired to my desktop, the same album from Tidal on my phone via LDAC is a different, much better experience (as should be expected with the THX amp, etc). Much more weight behind the music (almost identical to my CL2's), with great timbre, and bringing out great...

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    I am thoroughly enjoying the first listen, Steven Wilson's Hand. Cannot. Erase., wired (while the phone charges) to the computer/desktop DAC/amp with very minimal EQ. I am really looking forward to trying out the THX amp with LDAC. I have RHA CL2 in ear planars and these sound very similar. It...

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    I am apparently backer 1500 (June) and mine are scheduled to be delivered today. I received the Backerkit email last week. Looking forward to giving them a go this weekend.

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    If the Panda is your first IGG campaign I could maybe see how some people would be a little upset about communication. However, a few weeks between posts is nothing. Not to mention the fact that the Pandas have actually started shipping, and with only a slight delay for some. I bought into the...

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    @WillBright After joining the June perk I am curious how much info you can provide on how far along things are given all of the shutdowns/delays/etc because of Covid. Do you foresee any delays in design/production pushing deliveries back? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I had the same thing happen last summer to one of mine. I just put 3 drops of crazy glue in strategic spots along the edge of the shell where it would not touch the driver, and it has remained solid ever since.

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    Yeah, most likely. I hope the CL3 comes out soon. I am curious to see how they improve upon the 2. I got mine used a year ago for $600 from a HF member, but I was really surprised to see them new on Amazon for $450 over the summer.

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I just had a look on Amazon to see how much the CL2's are these days, and for some reason they are back to their original $899 price point. Any thoughts from anyone as to why that may be?

    NEW! SENDY AUDIO AIVA Impressions?

    I received my used Aiva's from another HF member yesterday, along with a XLR balanced adapter today, and am really enjoying these right out of the gate. They came with the newer perforated Aiva pads, but I put on the old thicker ZMF protein pads from my modded T50's and they opened up a decent...

    Hifiman HE6-SE

    I am currently in research mode trying to decide between good bookshelf nearfield speakers for my desk, or some really good headphones. Last night I came across the HE6SE and just finished reading this thread. Of course I am a few weeks late to take advantage of the Adorama deal. With that...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I was looking into different options for headphones at work and came across the Koss KPH30i while watching a review for something else where he compared them. If I had not watched that review a $23 pair (on Amazon) of Koss headphones is not something that would have even hit my radar, but I...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    After some tinkering around on both my desktop and portable rigs I was able to get the new sleeves EQ'd close to the sound I had with the SpinFits, but I am not a fan of EQ. I am also too OCD to leave it alone, so today I took my Dremel and drilled out the bores to try to shape them into a...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I was going to wait a bit longer before I posted anything, but since you asked, I received my custom sleeves for my CL2's on Tuesday and have been doing some listening tests with them to try to give some impressions for the thread. I had been looking into trying to make my own in CAD and get...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I do find they need more power to really shine (they sound best balanced on my desktop rig), but the G7 drives them perfectly fine. The volume on the G7 goes up to 75. In normal mode it takes 65 to 70 depending on the tracks to get to the upper limits of my volume comfort. When I "trick it" into...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I had been really wanting to give Tidal MQA a try, and I really needed a new phone, so I picked up a LG G7+ a little over a week ago. I am really enjoying the sound quality I get out of it after "tricking" it into the higher output mode. With the resolution capabilities of the CL2's I am...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    They do have pure copper and pure silver versions of the ISN 16 core I have. They are extremely well built and I highly recommend, especially given the price (roughly $50 each). The 8 core I have is really well built as well so I am not hearing as big of a difference between it and the 16 as I...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    If you search this thread for "ourart" you will find posts where I provided links to a couple of SPC cables (8-core & 16-core) that I purchased and enjoy immensely. The 2 cables cost me $118 shipped. They sound great from nice deep low end to beautiful highs. You do not need to buy super...

    Introducing CL2 Planar (Impressions Thread)

    I bought these 2 hybrid copper/silver cables from Penon Audio. They sound great, & did not break the bank: https://penonaudio.com/accessories/earphone-cable/isn-audio-h16.html https://penonaudio.com/accessories/earphone-cable/ourart-copper-mixed-silver-plated-mmcx-cable.html I do not see a...

    Sorry to go off topic (maybe I missed a memo somewhere), but there is no CanJam at RMAF this year?

    LG V40 ThinQ

    I am almost ready to pull the trigger on a new phone and have been digging into the V40 again. However, I have just looked at the G8 and I am wondering if anyone here has had any experience with the G8/both. I am not concerned with losing 1/4" of screen space, or 1 of the cameras. I think the...
