I don't own the Elear (yet), but I'm reading the thread with great interest and will audition a pair when dealers here in Denmark has them.   It's interesting to follow the ''problem with the midrange debate''. Some hear no problem with the midrange, others do and refer to the 4khz dip in the...

I just bought one of these little beauties and got it the day before the 1.08 FW was released... I had a really hard time finding my music and seriously considered returning it already at the first day. But all is sweet with the new FW where we have the Artist - Album - Music option.    This...

In you previous post you said, no, he should not listen to them. He should get the K1000.   Actually, he did not ask for opinions indicating, that he can't get to hear them.  He asked, if he should try them out. It seems he has doubts after you and Kyle 491 repeatedly has bashed the...

Don't be put of by the same few people bashing the K812 over and over and...   Of course you should try them, and they are excellent. If you read Stereophile, then check the latest issue where there is a review of a Moon Audio dac/headphone amp. The reviewer mentions the sound with both Audeze...

I fully agree with you Danz03, spot on comparison between HD800 and K812.   I also really wanted to like the HD800, but found them way to thin and bright. I ended up buying the K812, not without their flaws, but to me much better...

I wonder how many headphones are actually acceptable, if all headphones getting negative feedback from some are ruled out? Don't think there will be (m)any left...

Thanks..! I wanted this retro-vibe-olive-green like you see in olive green glass from the 60's and 70's and Piotr nailed it. The color is hard to get right in the pictures though. It's a little bit darker, than it appears in these pics. Just perfect...

I have just received my Custom Arts Ei.XX, these are my first pair of CIEM's so it exiting and early days...   The design is a custom olive green color that I had Piotr make together with ebony wood covers and gold logos. Thank you for getting the color exactly as I wanted it Piotr, amazing...

Thank you iBasso..! Fingers crossed that it sounds good, so we can upgrade from 1.3.3  

Yes, the CCS board replaces those emitter resistors.

Wow, you're a lucky man. Congratulations, both on the wife and the DX80      I have the Dignis case also (cognac color), and it's really high quality. Expensive, but worth it.

Yes I also remember Pauls post...

Regarding the A/B comparisons on sound etc... Just to share, this is what works for me (and a bit of background for context).     Context I have been into hifi for 35 years (since I was 13 years old and build my first DIY speakers).   I'm an electronic engineer and have worked with design...

Yes, fully agree... Digital products measure very similar, but still sound different.

Now the sound of the FW versions comes up again from a few people I decided to to a re-check on this with an open mind. I installed the 1.4.0 and 1.4.2 versions when they came out, but went back to 1.3.3 again because of the better sound. Yesterday I reinstalled 1.4.2 and gave it a serious...

Interesting that the 1st and 2nd generation get's such mixed feedback.   Some thought the 1 version was unlisnable and seriously flawed, especially in the treble range. Others though it was amazing because of it's treble clarity. Now some feel that the 2nd generation fixed the flaws of the...

It's not that much cheaper, not compared to the price here in Denmark anyway. I just believe that this seller is splitting the seller mark up with us customers.   The total price for these  from temptation hifi including shipping cost and bad exchange rate via paypal is around 875 euros. Here...

Congratulations  :)  So apparently Beyerdynamics has started production of the T1 2nd edition again  ;)  (When they could not deliver the pair I bought from them I was told it was because these were no longer produced)... Funny...

Did you get your headphones?

I fully agree, that's my take as well. I use my DT1770 in my portable system together with the iBasso DX80, and it's a very nice match.

Sometimes when we hear a ''problem'' with a new product I think it's because we have become so use to the sound of the product (headphones in this case) that we are used to. And sometimes the problem is more on the old product that we have gotten used to over the years, than the new one. Our...

1.3.3 sound more musical to me, and better than any of the 1.4 FWs. If you prefer a sound with a more forward treble and more focus on on details than coherency and musicality, then I think you will prefer the 1.4 FW's. I don't think one is clearly better, it's a matter of preference.    I use...

All manufactures makes such small silent upgrades over the life span of a product, and we should be happy that they do... The only way to avoid this is not to buy any products that involves some sort of technology (difficult).

I contacted AKG bout the ''boubles'' on the insde of the pads, just to get their opinion also. They responded within an hour and say that this is perfectly normal for the K812 pads, and that it does not affect sound or comfort in any way. So their response is consistent with your comments.  ...

Thank you so much for your input... OK, this is another set with pads like this. I guess this is normal then. It just look quite weird, and I wanted to check with you guys.   Yes, they are a bit bright for sure. Just out of the box my pair had almost ZERO bass, so they sounded very bright...
