Also, the Mojo has a Current delivery of 500mA, while the AM3A has a max Current output of 150mA. Depending on the headphone this will make a difference. AM5 has a Current delivery of 250mA.

The Edition Xv2 was my main phone for almost a year leading up to getting the Clear. It's a very pleasant, easy to listen to headphone but compared to the Clear it's slow, with more prominent but flabby bass and grainy treble. Many places in recordings that I had gotten used to annoying sibilance with the Xv2 are very clean and grain free with Clear.
I concur. Hifiman's main problem (aside from their entry level 400S and 4XX ironically) is the high mid - lower treble transition as it first goes down and then spikes up.

How much sound Clear leaks outward? hd800s was not acceptable to my family, but aeon open flow does not bother them as much. Could anyone compare its sound leakage to hd800s or aeon flow open?
Franz12, not sure if this helps or not, but I listen at low to moderate volume levels and I find the Elear leaks sound much less than the HD800, HD700, HiFiman headphones and the Koss ESP950 and Stax 2050. In my experience, the Elear is one of the least leaky open headphones. Now I am assuming the Clear will be pretty much the same.

Heh, I understand completely! Figured I'd keep it on in case I was going to return them. I have since peeled it.


Hahaha I was thinking “he just gonna return it” hahahha it’s like my sister going shopping and leaving the tag on when we was younger cause she really couldn’t afford it... couldn’t even hug her, little snob.. lol

Has anyone here tried the Clear with a Woo WA6?
I have the Clear out on loan, and I have a WA6 running UE-596/NU-68FG's. Tomorrow I'll use the WA6 and give you my brief impressions. I'm sure it'll sound fine, the Utopia sounded beautiful with real nice depth with this tube configuration in my WA6.

Been listening to the Clear/WA6 combo, and this pairing sounds just fine to my ears...a pleasure to listen too. I highly doubt you'll have any complaints if you're considering this combo. You'll also be able to manipulate the sound to your preference with some tube rolling.
