So, I ended up getting the LCD2C, and extremely happy I did so far. One note is that my impressions are based on using them with the Reveal plugin and the LCD2C profile most of the time. Very first impression when plugging them in was that they seemed somewhat, dull. But maybe it was my...

Sadly not an option that is viable for me, testing all these headphones that is. That's why I try get some advice from people who have tried different headphones ;O Not sure I'm Too worried about the speed, it's just something that interest me when it comes to planars, and I was hoping Clear...

But do you think the Clear has the kind of speed I'm looking for? Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I have the NAD M51 DAC, and ifi ican pro amp. I sure hope this setup is enough to do the Clears justice, not really looking to change it any time soon. I'd question if the drivers have the...

My main concern with the LCD2C is that I might find them a bit too warm and lush. Comfort is also quite important for me, which I think would be far from ideal with the HE-500. Well I'd use the headphone for more than the sub genres I listed, but that's my main list. But like mentioned, I do...

I’m currently looking to add another headphone to my collection, but have a hard time figuring out which best fits with what I’m looking for. I’m not very good at explaining sound, so apologize if I use wrong terms at times. My setup is NAD M51 > iFi ican pro > HD650. I really like the HD650...

Both BHA-1 and Black Widow seem like good candidates, but hard to come by in EU. Thanks for the recommendations though, will look for availability on both again later on.

So, I’m currently trying to decide on which DAC and amp I’ll purchase in a somewhat near future, and the Gumby got my attention again. The problem however is that I’m not sure what to look at in terms of an amp to pair with the Gumby. Obviously, I’ve considered the Mjolnir 2, but just not sure...

I like the update in terms of looks and readability. Only thing that was troublesome was logging in, but that was a onetime thing, I hope. Oh, and the “search this thread” function, I’d miss that as it’s been quite helpful for me this past week, with all the reading and “research”. Just have to...

The HE-1000 is probably something I can consider in the future, if I can get past my thing with buying new products. But I didn't know that there is a MZ2 as well as the MZ2-S. I think that I found a link to urbanhifi in the thread and assumed that was the only place where you can purchase...

I wish I could take part in the pre-order :( How long can we expect it to be unavailable for purchase after pre-orders?

Sadly, I am new to the Chord brand and try to form an opinion on what DAC to buy. But at least parts of this thread were somewhat helpful.

  Yea, got plenty of time to consider all my options. Think I saw somewhere that the preliminary release date for the Hugo 2 is April 27, but if I do end up going for it, my purchase would still be later. The Hugo 2 is quite high on my list right now, cause like you say, I can just add an amp...

Wow, this is really nice! Thank you so much for doing this! Also, nice that you found something that you liked :D My initial thought is; I guess that planar magnetic is what I was searching for this time around after all, heh. I wanted that speed that can keep up with the music I tend to...

Well, another pair of headphones pushes the Elear further down on my list it seems. I’m not complaining though, this is exactly why I created this thread! During the day I’ve tried doing some more reading on various things mentioned yesterday. Read your full review on the AEON as well as this...

Hmm, I've read your full review of the Elear now, and it does add some more weight to ZMF's side of the scale. However, I had a look at a fellow newbie's thread and noticed the Aeon. I had not heard about these previously, so decided to take a quick look in the MrSpeakers' Aeon thread, as...

I found your longer rambling response very helpful :) I should be the one apologizing though, making you answer questions that you’ve, by the sound of it, already answered many times before :D I do appreciate that you took some of your time to do so though! I’m a drummer hobbyist myself, in...

I don’t mind warm coloration in headphones too much, all my current headphones have it more or less after all. But I don’t know, I've just set my head on a more neutral DAC and Amp, let the headphones do the coloring if there is any. If the Mojo is only slightly warm tinged like you say, maybe I...

My planed total budget for headphones, DAC and Amp is €3000. If I spend let’s say €1400 on the ZMF Eikon, that leaves me with up to €1600 for a DAC and Amp stack or DAC/Amp unit. If I end up going for the Elear, well that would leave around €2000 open, which to me almost sound a bit crazy now as...

Spending only a few hours reading and listening to reviews about the Atticus and Eikon, I can say that the Padauk Eikon is a very strong contender for me now. While having two strong candidates for headphones doesn’t make the decision easier, it is good that I got another one as I’m actually...

Thanks for the reply and welcoming!   I've been checking out the metal thread from time to time, that's where I've seen all the recommendations for planars before as mentioned. I'll probably post there in the future, but decided to make a thread first as I’d be interested in opinions from...

Hi there I’m one of those lurkers who finally decided to register, so I could ask for some help and guidelines… I’ll start with saying sorry to those of you who are since long tired of these kind of threads, and apologize for a post that might be unnecessarily long. I just wanted to include...
