I keep my Mobius in 2ch and will likely never use the additional features that come with it. lol. That's just me though. If I wanted to feel like I was moving in the mix, I'd just physically move around the room with my speakers obviously anchored in a static position. *shrug* The folks that...

Not to get off-topic... hah.

I've been listening to a lot of Turnstile and Beartooth (hardcore punk/melodic hardcore) lately; absolutely no complaints from the modest Mobius. Does just enough right not to be grasping for straws or go down the rabbit hole again.

Awesome! Watched it yesterday and forgot to comment. Great takeaways from your input. It's tax season, so who knows what I may splurge on. :D

Might not be quite right for me personally and what I listen to the most (at least through headphones) after all. Still interested in trying out and hearing a pair for myself. If not only to experience the comfort. How is there anything more comfortable than the ÆON Flows? My brain can't even...

Cheers for the input. Ya, after trying out some much more comfortable headphones (at least to me) than the offerings by ZMF, I do take that into account a bit. I don't know if I'll end up with any of these new flagships — there are so many since I took a break. lol. Would you categorize the...

*emerges from the shadows* Any thoughts on the Meze Empyrean? A friend of mine keeps boasting that they're far and above better than their old LCD-4 — which they thought extremely highly of since their release now. Does this spill over into metal though? That's the real question. Everything I...

It sounds like you want a semi-closed/semi-open IEM. Something like the Audeze iSine maybe?

Guess I'll be on the lookout for them come the holiday season this year. :D

Wow, this thread is still as active as ever. Long time no see, everyone. Lol. Six months without headphones later and I'm only just now starting to miss it (read: this hobby) a little bit. I'm a bit shocked to see that the Audeze Mobius isn't out by now. Any thoughts at all on them from someone...

The Auteur should be infinitely more comfortable as well, no? Just my 2¢.

My 2¢: get an AFO/AFC and call it a day. Pick up a $3000 headphone for $500 in 2 years. Diminishing values are solid for the used market consumer.

Indeed. Whatever the reason, it's not a good one. Lol. Then again, if you've ever watched 'Most Expensivest', people are selling $100k bottled water and $10k bottled air. Makes $10k audio cables and $6k headphones look like a steal to me. Hahaha.

HD820—making it closed is magically worth $1100 more than an HD800S? I simply don't understand the logic behind the pricing. If the Ether C was $1100 more than the Ether, who would justify that? End mini rant.

Ah, yes. That makes sense. I recently upgraded my subwoofer significantly. The new listening room is soooooo much better as well as room EQ/damping goes. I think that's what made the real difference. My next purchase will be to replace my center channel (for TV/movies). The other thing about...

I genuinely laughed really hard at that. I don't know how, but I finally broke free from that cycle. Maybe it's due to knowing just how much money is at stake due to diminishing values. I mean, ugh… if you paid $3000-$4000 for an HE1000 V1/V2, LCD-4 100/200 ohm or Utopia. Once something hits an...

I'm still rocking my Intel NUC with Euphony OS running off of an SSD. No linear PSU in the mix. Didn't feel the need to go the extra mile [as of yet] due to it sounding vastly superior to Windows 10 [running fb2k (ASIO) or the tidal app]. I can hear a difference in a much higher end setup (V850...

Are we still allowed to post massdrop deals in the thread (without affiliate links of course)? It looks like one of Keces' new products is up for MD's sales week. Could be good if you're after an AIO solution. It doesn't appear to be a pre-order either which is fantastic (if you've ever fallen...

I see that this just landed on massdrop. I suppose if there was ever an incentive to try something new, it'd be for a discount. Lol.
