I do hear some people suggest that the Clear can be a bit too aggressive sounding, I think that’s my only thing holding me back right now. I like fun and engaging sounds but also don’t want to be fatigued!

Order from headphones.com and return it if you don't like them. 1 year return period.

Man I wish Australia had this.. Our only decent store has a 20% restocking fee AND they give store credit, not a refund to payment method

Depends on what one considers aggressive.
I don't find them aggressive at all.

Everything with the exception of the Edition X ,HD650 were way more aggressive cans.
HE500
HE560
HD700
HD800

The Clear walk the line beautifully without ever making me wince or getting silibant. They're bold , robust, insane dynamic swings without EVER getting smeared during complex passages. Everything about them spells realism. They emote better than any can I've owned. I've had mine for just over a year now and really have no desire to get something different.
The only other can I'm remotely interested in is a Susvara which I was saving for. Instead I'm going to solidify my rig with a Gumby or possibly a Yggy. I'm that content with the Clears.

I'm intrigued by the badge and the cup. My pros do not have the "Mg" between the "Clear Professional" or the octagon grill pattern. Was this the prototype or new rendition? I actually like the look of the grill lol

There's also another new headphone with Magnesium just before this one is shown, 12 seconds into the Celestee video

It's from the Celestee reveal video, 12 seconds in shows a new gold Magnesium headphone, and 13 seconds in shows this one

Oof...maybe I should hold on getting a Clear then until we find out more about this.

 

[Guidostrunk]

I agree lol. I'm curious myself.

Oh wow, that looks cool. It only says Magnesium and no Aluminum, so a pure Magnesium driver perhaps? We’ll have to wait and see.

ARYAAAAAA

ARYAAAAAA

Yeah Arya is the other one I’m considering, but a little more expensive and I think the Clear being easier to drive would be beneficial. I’m picturing days sitting on my balcony with a Clear and my DAP.

I also do prefer a more bass-focused approach which the Clear has.

if you have a tube amp, forget about planars, The Clear would be a better option in this case.

It's normally a 1/4" or 3.5mm plug to 2x3.5mm (mono or stereo) plugs headphone cable. Anything with those plugs will do the job for a standard unbalanced cable eg:

or for balanced you choose XLR (4 pin) on the amp side eg:
