FYI, these are over a thousand $ for most EU countries after import duties. Why would anyone do that for 700?

Well, i guess the ÆON gets the

Anyone else noticed the 'air pressure' (sorry, not sure how to describe it properly) you get when you just pop the Aeons on, and they obtain full seal around your ears? Havent felt anything like that on any of my other HP's. That is one tight seal.

The bass is indeed very precise and controlled. It's just missing a tad on some tracks. The inserts doesnt change much for me tbh.

Heres my initial impressions after only 1-2 hours (no burn-in, no inserts, Grace Design M9XX, stock cable); In only one word: smooth! Everything blends together so well across the spectrum. Theres no harshness to the treble at all, its all very well balanced. Details, and lots of them, but...

Eventually got in touch with FAW here on head-fi, Matt upgraded my original order wich is nice. My order apparently got lost in their system for some unknown reason. I'm still waiting for a confirmation that the cable has been shipped however (no tracking number so far). I do have faith that the...

Sounds like my setup - Grace M9xx with a pair of TH-X00 (with ZMF lambskin pads). Really interested to read your comparison!

? Speaking of its design, extremely favourable :)

Ugh yeah i can totally relate to this, being in the 118xx myselfe. Very excited to read about the foam inserts in regards to the bass. And quite interesting about the burn-in time. Guess theres only one way to find out if its all true - try them out for ourselves :o2smile:

I've been eyeing the Sony's for some time, would be interesting to have full comparison!

Awesome. My one worry with these cans was the bass really.

Grace Design M9XX with home made cable (ugh to soldering those 4-pin Hirose connecters)

Hello forum   I'm going to make my first custom cable for my MrSpeakers AEON/ÆON's.   As far as i understand, they use the same connecters (HiRose) as the Ethers and Mad Dogs: https://mrspeakers.com/shop/3-accessories/cable-plugs-male-for-alpha-dog-and-mad-dog-custom-cables/   Do any of...

I have owned my pair of TH-X00 Purplehearts since the first drop. I have always loved their sound signature. But as time passed, i found myselfe using them much less than i had first anticipated and planned for, mainly due to one (major) reason: comfort issues! Those stock pads (of doom) digging...

Theres a pair of Audeze LCD-2F on eBay for just a tad over 500$, sold by Highendauctions. Auction is ending in 1 day. Think i might make an offer on them, the old version upgraded with Fazor looks pretty darn good.

Hello forum and Grace M9XX owners   First off, let me say the sound coming out of this little thing is awesome!   However, I've got two issues with it, that i havent been able to google a solution for:   Volume in windows (7) has been disabled completely, i can only control the volume...

Hello. Just borrowed a Modi 2 Uber from a friend. I keep having probems with the DAC disconnecting from my computer after half and hour to an hour of use. The only solution is to try a different USB port, and sometims, but not always, it connects right away again.    Here's what i've tried so...

Hello forum   Does anyone have any experience with pad-rolling on the Stax SR-L series?   I've got a pair Stax SR-L300's. I was wondering if the SR L-700's pads fits on the SR-L300? The 700's are lambskin leather, whereas the 300 and 500 is faux.

Great explanation on the filters, thanks. Although, if anyone else have different oppinions or experiences with the filters, feel free to share them!

Seeking owners of the Grace M9XX - out of curiosity, which of the 4 filters do you use as your 'standard' filter, and why?   From the Grace M9XX manual:   F1 sharp roll off, linear phase For linear phase response and time coherency. Fast roll off protects against aliasing distortion from...

Hello forum   I'm trying to decide where to put my money for a headphone amp/dac to drive my Fostex X00 Purplehearts when they arrive later this year. I'm in the below-500$ range.   Here's a few of the amp/dacs that i'm trying to decide between:   Schiit M2U stack   Grace Design M9XX  ...

Thank you both!

Say i've got a pair of fullsize headphones like the Fostex th-x 00's, impedance 25 ohms.   What kind of ohms should i be looking for from an amp? I'm seeing everything from 50 ohms to 0.1 ohm output when looking at different amps from different companies.   Does it even matter?   I'm...
