What box and packaging did you get? The v2 comes in a leather box with three cables and a booklet with a sheet which has the serial numbers of the drivers.

I can recommend a Hifiman EF400. A affordable dac/amp combi, that sounds very good and is extremely powerful.

Great choice! 👍😜

What about the Neumann NDH 30? Fir 300-700$ i would try a used Sennheiser HD 800. with its huge soundstage, high detail and superb imaging, it sounds very good with classical music.

For gaming only i would seek a used Sennheiser HD 800. It soundstage, imaging and detail are just phantastic for gaming, especially shooters.

Did you try the Audeze LCD X 2021 version? I am very interested in those. Its often said that the bass is phantastic, high detail retrieval and not overly sharp treble. The build quality seems to be very good.

I use a Hifiman EF 400 dac only and a Violectric HPA V280 amp.

Many people may enjoy them more because of the slightly less detail retrieval and slightly higher mid bass quantity.

I think the Arya Stealth for 800€ is a very good deal, because it is a outstanding headphone. The HE 1000 series is more refined in every aspect imo.

Really a very nice headphone. I wanted to buy it and still want to, but circumstances didnt allow it. So i have to wait. The Composer looks phantastic and many reviews say that they sound even better thsn they look.

The Topping amps are powerful enough. I run even a AKG K1000 with a Topping A90D. Really powerfull amps for the money.

Hi there! I am looking for a high end open back headphone. Dynamic or Planar does not matter. The Focal Clear is a very pleasing headphone for me, with its punchy, lower end focused sound, that is technically strong but pleasing with its warmer side of neutral tuning. So it can deliver a...

For vocals i can recommend the Beyerdynamic T1 generation 1 and 2. They have a very nice vocal presentation and are relatively afordable because in used edition.

This amp is really nice! I read it from Zach of ZMF that it is nice to pair with a ZMF Atticus which i am interested in. I already bought the A20 and i run my Beyerdynamic T1.1 with it. It really sounds much better than with my beloved Violectric V280. The sound seems more dynamic, with extended...

Hi. I am interested in ZMF headphones and want to buy one soon. I can not decide between the Aeolus, Atticus and Auteur classic. My headphones at the moment are a Beyerdynamic T1.1 and a Focal Clear OG. Sometimes i like the brighter T1 sound, sometimes the punchier, low- and mid focused clear...

Thank you all for your very nice written reviews of the HE1000 Stealth and the Composer! I listened to the HE1000 Stealth and the V2. I think you described the Stealth very precisely. The comfort is a kind of mixed bag, one day it fits nice, on another day its heavy and big. Treble is a thing i...

Congrats! Im looking foreward to your listening experiences. I ordered a Composer too today. Totaly excited now. I will share my experience when i hot it.

I tested the HEK Stealth some time ago and i liked the bass, i also like the very good detail retrieval. Does the Composer have a similar good detsil retrieval?

Thank you all for sharing your experiences with the Composer. I have my troubles to choose between the Composer and the HEK Stealth. Both seem to have a highly detailed sound with good bass and fine mids and treble.

Thank you! These hp really seems to sound very nice. I prefer a nice balanced sound signature over boomy bassy thick sound.

I am looking foreward to your experience with the HE6v2.

I am very interested in those super nice looking headphones. They look very well built and comfortable. Did someone test it with rock/pop/metal music? If yes, whats the sound like? Thin and detailed? Does it has a nice impact in bass and mids? A large soundstage?

If you use Qobuz or Tidal or other streaming apps, Roon can be an upgrade for it, because of its features, that has been explained in this thread. I you dont use streaming services and you dont have oen music, i dont see Roon is useful.

Alright. As i wrote in a post before, the Hifiman HE1000 Stealth is a very detailed hp with a big soundstage, superb detail retrieval and a nice punchy, but not overblown bass. I have got and like the Focal Clear OG for rock/pop/metal because it is very dynamic and punchy. It has a very good...

For 2500 you can look at used 3000 dollar plus headphones. Are you looking for a very detailed sound? Punchy? Do you like a big soundstage? More laid back or foreward sound?
