Aeon has so many dedicated fans, he must be doing something right. It also helps that he responds to people, not as a business, but as a person talking to another person. Same with the guy who designs Atticus and Eikons, Zach(?). His new Anteur looks nice but I'm broke for the rest of the year concerning high end sets, lol.
Have you tried using eq on them to reduce the 4k dip?watched z reviews about elear, and to be honest in that review he nailed it.
Yes elear is a great headphone to have if you can afford to have more than one headphone in your collection, but never ever will it be a headphone that I would if I can only afford only one priced between 500-1000 usd
Its a good headphone do not take me wrong, and for me its a love and hate towards elear, with some music it sounds just fantastic and with other oh man its a catastrophe. I think it works better with songs that do not have so many things going in songs, and for using it with metal music or 80s music that is a no way on earth for me. I like elear more with acoustic music or electronic music that are well recorded
Its a weird headphone, as weird as it is I see myself using it alot to just hear how songs will sound on elear but then I go back to my favs like LCD X and LCD2 or even the sine

I think that dip was the root of a lot of the issues Z had with the Elear. When I switch back and forth between eq and non-eq, his impressions are pretty similar to mine. Kinda blurry center image, and like you said, when a lot of stuff is going on it can get a little messy.
Using eq removes all trace of these problems for me. I started using a single peak filter on 4kHz, which helped a lot. The last week I've been using Sonarworks calibration for the Elear and it's pretty amazing, it removes pretty much any issues with the Elear's sound. It does change the Elears signature quite a bit though, towards a neutral presentation.
Personally, I love the Elear's stock tonality too. My ears easily adjust to the 4k dip of the stock tonality when I'm listening to it, but switching between non-eq and eq I can quickly hear the issues people are having. But like I said with a simple eq or the sonarworks software, it's damn near perfect to my ears.
Much agree! I actually still use only a 4k peak filter (or even no eq) sometimes, to get that warmer, more full-sounding tonality of the Elear. To my experience, the stock tonality kinda seem to focus more on vocals and acoustic instruments, and pushing stuff like percussion and "background" instruments further back.I am testing for few days sonarworks and elear, and you are right that it changes its house sound. I am just hesitant to keep using sonarworks as then it will be difficult to listen to elear without using it. I also add 4khz in my eq when I use it with jriver or with my portable daps players and it fixes it nicely, without altering the house sound as much a sonarworks does.
But all in all its a good headphone no complains to have it in my collection

How much are you eqing the 4k dip exactly? Wanna try that myself.Have you tried using eq on them to reduce the 4k dip?

hmm I use 4dB with my Hugo (remember to set the preamp accordingly to avoid clipping!). If you have a warm amp that exaggerates the lower-mids even further, you may get better results with an even bigger peak. Try for yourself, play around and find out!How much are you eqing the 4k dip exactly? Wanna try that myself.
Using WA8 Eclipse, I'll play around with it a bit.hmm I use 4dB with my Hugo (remember to set the preamp accordingly to avoid clipping!).
