Just saying it's a step backwards for the company, not that it's a bad headphone, though the reviews haven't exactly been glowing either. I personally thought it was about on par with my PM-3 when I heard it, for nearly twice the price.
I prefer my PM-3 to the EL8 open in all seriousness. The band of missing treble information in the EL8 is a real problem with cymbals in particular, the bass was a little uncontrolled when I heard it also. For the same money I think the FAD Hope VI is a much, much better performing headphone (and as pointed out there are a number of better performing headphones up to that price point).
