I listened to the Aeon and with the stock cable it was meh. However with a different cable (the red one in the background) the headphone was a totally different animal on my setup.

Do you know which cable is that?

Hi, what dac/amp were you using, snellemin?

I received my aeon yesterday. I remember they felt comfy in camjam NYC and the earpads had enough room for my ear around and the driver wasnt touching my ears.

Yesterday i felt as if there wasnt enough room around the ears and they could touch the drivers.

We have definitely not made any changes to the ear pads, the foam and dimensions are the same as NY units. The only change was that we shortened the leather strap. One user felt the phones were clamping too hard, but this was easily addressed by simply raising the sliders to loosen the fit. The headband should only carry a little weight, if you over-tighten it it can squeeze the pads (and your head). Other than that not sure what to suggest...

This hits me way harder than all the delay-related updates combined. Hopefully it is not a lot shorter than the one at the Headroom Show. I have an above-average head size and had to loosen up the pair at London quite a bit to get a good fit

I suspect you'll be fine. We found the shorter strap has fit everyone we've tried.We've tested on LARGE hat sizes as well. It turns out the shorter strap allowed us to fit smaller heads better, but because of the geometry of the metal it didn't affect fit for larger heads, so for this application it's been win/win. That said, if anyone ever has a fit issue we can always send a longer strap.

We're up to order 11059. I expect tomorrow to ship to at least order 11100 tomorrow, and we should sail past order 11200 by the end of the week.

Sweet Mine should be here by Sat. The day after my LC gets back, just perfect.

The cable is from forum member sunneebear.

Hi, what dac/amp were you using, snellemin?

I was using Parasound first-gen Zdac. Amp was Parasound Zamp V3 with Burson V4 opamp.

Oh, and I also used it with a NAD amp and Luxman preamp, with the red cable. Didn't use the stock cable on this setup.

I will send in a PM. I would like to try the large strap.

What was that red one ?

It was hooked up to MrSpeakers Ether C Flow.

Just got my tracking number! Order #11078 for reference.

Hopefully my Impact Audio balanced cable will ship on the estimated date of 5/26 as well.

Out of curiosity, do you remember how many Aeons were left when you ordered (out of the total 250)? It would be interesting to know how many Aeons have shipped thus far.
