Hi guys, after owning my pair of Open EL-8s for a few months now, I'm looking to sell my pair at the Canjam UK event for £400 or nearest offer. PM me if you are going to the event and are interested.
hi all,
i dont if it has been discussed here but i purchased my EL-8 awhile back (early 2015) but when i checked the serial number it shows invalid.
is it normal?
i googled and found some back ordered serial number but LCD-2's some of the S/N are invalid to...
any advise on this? thanks in advance
I just checked my EL-8 open serial (I also bought the unit early 2015) - it is considered invalid as well...
Stay updated on Audeze at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

The serial number check was put on the website to track the stolen headphones. Only LCD series headphones were stolen and no EL8s were stolen. At the moment the site is only valid to check LCD serial numbers. We will modify it in future to check more broadly.
Beyerdynamic T5P's are being sold new for $650 ($1399 msrp) on buydig today, which is even cheaper to the EL8's $699. How does the EL8 (closed) compare to it?
Does the Planar vs Dynamic design matter much?
Perhaps this is the right thread to ask. I was at a headphone meet, where a vendor basically thrust the balanced cables for the EL-8 into my hands. I believe they are terminated in two separate 3.5mm TRS connectors, for use with a Pono. I was told by this vendor that I could buy (or have built) a separate cable, consisting of two female 3.5mm connectors on one end and a 4-pin XLR connector on the other, for use with standard balanced headphone amplifiers. Any clue where I might find such a cable?
I rather skimmed through all the EL-8 threads quickly, and may have missed it. I just don't see where other people are trying to connect EL-8 to balanced headphone amplifiers. So AFIK this is the only way to do balanced. If there is another way, I'm all ears!
