What was wrong with it?

What's your source? It could be an issue with the signal timing.

It depends a lot on your ear geometry, measurements use an average ear shape so you might get different results.

Has anyone compared these to Grado PS2000e?

There are more things to it than FR, assuming the EQ you apply doesn't add too much distortion then they should sound very close. Some headphones don't EQ that well, and some have wonky FR that cannot be smoothed out.

Either one should be ok.

For desktop use I prefer 4 pin XLR, it's more robust. If you plan to use it on the go, then 4.4mm is the better option.

Cerakote H series is what he offered when I bought my set. https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating?finishes=cera_h_series

CDs are in general outdated, I don't know why companies started pushing CD transports. CDs can be ripped and then you can use a DAP or a computer to play them without the inconvenience of having to handle the physical media.

Do you see the light in the cable? It should be a red light on the other end.

I think he should raise prices so demand matches production.

The hype will eventually die and these will be available, you just have to wait.

Woo Audio has them available https://wooaudio.com/headphones/austrian-audio-the-composer and they published this https://www.instagram.com/p/C2NgdLcOrC6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== on Instagram.

I have never liked how Dekoni pads affect the sound.

A DDC with multiple inputs that acts as a switch would be nice.

What does?

Bluetooth latency was the big one, low performance with low impedance planars, and the misleading performance numbers that apparently were caused by the volume control chip.

I hope the V3 fixes the issues of the V2 and accurate specs are published along with it. I really liked the idea of the V2, but the issues were big deal breakers for me.

I hope B&H can have them soon. I’m not a fan of headphones.com

I don't particularly like him, but that is just me, feel free to like and trust him.

Some pots are good some are bad, which is the problem because it depends on how lucky you are.

That seems like the same reason the HM-1 is expensive.

I don't think on sale, just for sale.

I don’t consider Joshua Valour to be a good source of truth…

Your impressions seem accurate, Stealth are incredibly transparent I haven't heard any other headphones to come close to them (other than Expanse and Corina, which kind of sound the same). They make magic with some recordings, other recordings sound flat and lifeless, but that is because of how...
