Does anyone here have both and can compare the open vs the closed?

Thanx.
It's a lamp, and the headphone stand is a ten dollar banana holder from Bed Bath & Beyond.

 
This is amazing.  A bit embarrassed to admit that I spent $50 on a curved piece of wood.  The banana holder may even be a bit more stylish...lol

This might be the worst tool to be used as a headphones stand!
It will create a great deal of tension at the centre point of the headband, in few months will be struck by a bended centre point. 
Keep in mind that you are talking about a 480gm headphones.

Agreed. The least pressure applying headphone stand I've ever seen are these:

i agree. better find something nice and rounded. I highly recommend the silverstone headphone stand for people looking for premium type headphone stands without breaking the bank. currently not available on amazon, but I feel like I've seen them at other places. only silver color currently available I think though. holds 2 headphones & has nice rounded top & allows the headphones to hang without the stand part messing with the earpads. the silverstone's offering cheaper than woo's offerings.

Bookmarked, thanks for the link - actually some pretty nice looking headphone stands masquerading as banana hangers there!

Looks like it has been modified though to take that into account. Certainly that is what I would do.

A reviewer with expectation bias, nearly certain to experience confirmation bias also. I suspect they will send you their products to review forever 

 
There are a few companies that have rarely let me down with new releases...Audeze is definitely one of them. A very strong track record...nothing wrong with that...plus I'm not going in totally blind...have you seen how they measure on the Audeze website? Very impressive! However, if I don't like them, they'll go back without a review and I'll post my honest impressions here. 
 
Having had 4-5 years of impressive experiences from a particular company (like Audeze) has raised my expectations (as it should). Other companies have been hit or miss...or just miss and miss. I've had the LCD-2, LCD-2.2, LCD-3, LCD-X and LCD-XC and loved every one; so you can see from where I get my high expectations. That's 5/5...see a trend? Plus, I'm a hobbyist, not a professional reviewer. 

 
 
I've known Sankar for going on 5 years now and consider him a good friend that I've made here on Head-Fi. I was thoroughly shocked (in a good way) when the initial LCD-2s were released (I bought them very early on) and became a fan of the company and their track record of releasing great sounding headphones has continued through the years. Would you rather I keep that to myself?

 Look we all have biases on things, but when I review gear, it's always my honest impressions that come through. Some gear I thought I'd not like, but I ended up loving it; and other gear the exact opposite. I have very high hopes for the EL-8s based on my experiences with the company and the measurements...my listening sessions with the loaner pair I'm getting will be based ENTIRELY on what I hear.
