Yes, Cleer by cleer. Not Focal clear. Cleer has the signature of HD800 but with better bass and controlled treble. Seems perfect to my preference and it is only $699Ah yea I see, when you mentioned the LCD-2s in your previous post I thought maybe you were referring to the new 2C since that's mostly what people have been talking about. Regarding the Sundara, they seem to be a little polarising, you and another friend of mine seem to have loved it but others say it's pretty unimpressive.
By Cleer do you mean these? I'd never heard of them before just now, would you mind sharing some more information you might have? Thanks!

Interesting, thank you for sharing, according to their website it seems they don't have a definite launch date yet and they'll be available some time in Spring - good price, though, interesting sound signature and they look pretty cool.

Can you describe them? Are they deeper/thicker than the stock pads? Material?
The hd800 pads from dekoni will the be a lot deeper and it comfortable AF... the treble peak somehow reduced from the sound frequency chart and i can feel it by myself. It is hybrid padsCan you describe them? Are they deeper/thicker than the stock pads? Material?
I personally conversed with the person who in charge with the Cleer and he said it will be released during CES!oh ok that's why. I was on their website and it says spring release on the cleer next lol
CES next year, but it was so sad looking at the booth, it is toooooo underrated. Not many of head fiers went to it... that's the problem in our community. Not trying for a something newInteresting, thank you for sharing, according to their website it seems they don't have a definite launch date yet and they'll be available some time in Spring - good price, though, interesting sound signature and they look pretty cool.

So - not recommended for 800S?
I cant promise with that. There's only HD800 not the S versionSo - not recommended for 800S?
I recommend auditioning the DT 1990. Underappreciated headphones, IMO.I have the hd6xx right now so I want something that is different . something with that has a crisp sound than a laid back one. thanks for the info bro

I see. I ordered a massdrop liquid carbon. hopefully that will have enough power. I was planning on getting either the aeon open, elear or an lcd2. looks like I will have to add the sundra to that list also wait for more input from the guys. thanks for info buddy
It should have plenty of power, which is a bit more current than my iPhone 7+ with lightning adapter. You have a good list to work with, so good luck figuring out which one to get!
What I mean by that is it's really hard to get them all together at the same table and compare them, and also see which gear has the best synergy with the headphone. I ALWAYS being a DAC/amp to test the gear because I know what it sounds like or how it performs, so the only variable is the headphone and not the rest of the audible chain.

I wish there was some place here for me to audition headphones lol. For now I have to get recommendations from you guys and find out the hardway. thanks for the info lolIt should have plenty of power, which is a bit more current than my iPhone 7+ with lightning adapter.

- Audeze LCD-MX4 - Dare I say I might like these more than the LCD-4? Heard them out of the Chord Dave... Just fantastic. The LCD-4 too.
I just don't like the LCD-4, and haven't since they first came out. The LCD-3 have always been my favorite, but the LCD-2c and LCD-X and LCD-MX4 are very nice, but too mid-forward for me. The regular LCD-2 sounded like something was wrong with them, and they were timid and too laid back with my HiFi-M8 DAC/amp.
- Woo Audio WA-33 w/ Hifiman Susvara - Wow! Maybe my favorite of the show. Reminded me of the electrostats with the level of refinement and detail, had a nice sound stage, much more open than the Utopia, better over all range. Comparing it side-by-side w/ Utopia makes me not like my Utopia LOL...
I missed this combo and wish I'd been able to try it out. I mention in my comments that I'd wished for a 50-80 watt speaker amp like with my HE-6, which sound heavenly when amp'd that way. That's a big reason why I was able to sell my SR-009 and KGBH amp.
- Shangri-La - I was surprisingly meh/disappointed for such an expensive high-end system. I would take the WA33+Susvara in a heartbeat over that thing. I think I read comments from someone else that there was an issue w/ the source. Maybe that was it. If not I'd spend on something else.
Like I said before, when using another amp as a pre-amp the Shangri-La really woke up and got clearer and less strained, so we really must try it with a flagship level DAC our source before passing judgment.
