Very good Review i read some things that i didnt know from other reviews . Also i like your photos more and more .
So if they dont have that body (warm) character like Clears i think these are not for me , the price is very good and warranty the shame but its a bit problem for people in Europe .
Doesnt the pads on these cost 100 euros ??? I wouldnt say these are cheap , maybe 40-60 euros would be better price for the quality in my opinion.
Cables if they are the shame like Other Focals omg yeah they are not for me , but its easy to find aftermarket .
Did u experience any problems like , L+R volume differences or any clipping ?

Thank you very much , still think that my photos are awful!
Anyway , first of this are not very lean as you may think.
Just a touch leaner than the Clear , more full bodied than the HD800S.
Pads are $60 from Drop and the cable is good for desktop use , not so for portable.
No problems with clipping or imbalance but mind you that I listen at safe levels and not 100+ db as I read other reviewers do....
This headphone in my opinion outperforms everything up to the 1.5K range with only a couple of exceptions.
The only problem is availability.

Dang, you beat me to a review. This is what I'm reviewing next. Thanks for the stellar review.

@Mad Lust Envy
Thank you for your kind words!
You have beaten me to the Schiit Hel 2 so we are even!
Of course in my Hel 2 review I have included a link to your review since you have greatly covered all the gaming stuff!

I appreciate your comparison to the og Clear, since I've heard so many people day it's better, but it just looks to me like it's preference thing on whether you want more neutrality or warmth.

This has been enlightening.

The Elex is the best headphone I've heard to date, I think. Even over the upcoming Drop 8XX, which lacked any lower grounding.
