Ordered a set, arrive tomorrow. If they’re tuned similarly or even more neutral than the Hadenys then I’ll be happy with them as a beater set for sure!

Looking forward to your assessment!

Sounds good. I'm trying to track one down in Canada as my local store won't have any in stock for over a month.

Really looking forward to your thoughts. Where did you order from?
Scan in the UK, but loads of places have them now.
Yeah I’ll try muster up some initial impressions tomorrow. I’m not one for reviews or detailed notes on equipment but I’ll see what I can do. I’ll either like them or I won’t but I think it’ll be the former

Received them about 20 mins ago. So far so good.
The mids are
.
Bass extends very well and I would say more textured than the Hadenys, more linear I think.
Overall maybe a like less congested sounding, cleaner, crisper.
They don’t sound like closed backs to me, no less open than the Hadenys (from recent memory).
The top of the headband seems plusher. The pads internally are a bit different, crunchier, but they settle in nice, probably a little softer.
See no reason not to have them!
Would have these over the Hadenys any day!

Perfect. I can't wait until I can get my paws on a set. Waiting for my local store to get their inventory so I can buy it.Received them about 20 mins ago. So far so good.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed to be honest. I would without a doubt say that the Lensys is more refined than the Hadenys. Listening to this at the moment and it sounds great

Appreciate the impressions! Definitely picking up a pair as soon as they’re in stock locally.

How is the bass speed and treble? How would you define the tonality? Thanks.Received them about 20 mins ago. So far so good.

Haven’t done any specific “testing” but bass seems pretty tight, quick enough for DD (I’ve mostly been listening to planar recently). Haven’t picked up any looseness there to be honest.
Treble probably slightly elevated, perhaps, or that’s how I’ve perceived it. Not too bright, piercing, nor ‘light weighted’ .. it’s definitely present but not fatiguing for me.
Overall it’s like an energetic neutral(ish), possibly some would say sort of W-shaped maybe?
Only had 40 or so minutes with it but have to call it a night. I didn’t do any A/B with other phones either. Opinion may change on further listening. However, yeah, in isolation it’s a very good all-rounder for me.

So a better Hadenys (which was an improvement over the edition XS imo) but closed back? Sounds very interesting.Received them about 20 mins ago. So far so good.

How is the passive noise isolation?

Looks to be not internally wired balanced 
Well, some might still prefer the Hadenys but for me yeah the Lensys is a nicer listen.
Noise isolation, it has some
I don’t have any closed backs to compare to except the Audivina but I don’t consider them CB.Users who are viewing this thread
