What a nice combo and truly very well spent 300 bucks:

AR5000 with Aune's newly offered 4.4 mm balanced cable hooked up on an iBasso DX260

Finally received my AR5000's...

Stay tuned!

I'm seriously digging the look of these. How's the clamp force? Snug, loose, or just right? Super curious how these might compare to my favorite, reasonably affordable dynamic, the Ibasso SR2. Are the cup connections 3.5mm?

SR2 remove the paper covering the magnet to make them better. The highs want become more present just the space increases and the driver can produce those frequencies better. iBasso suffocated the driver with the dampening.

Good Lord....what do we have here?!?

First listening impressions done last night....impressive, most impressive!

More to follow....

What are your thoughts on that cable? Hearing anything beneficial with it? There's a 4.4mm balanced Aune cable on Amazon for a great price, but it looks darker in color than this.

I didn't even know that Aune has an extra 4.4 balanced cable for the AR5000 (it comes only with a fixed 3.5mm termination but still nice cable). The guy I talked on the phone when I ordered and wanted to ask for the headphone stand, offered it to me for 45'ish. He said it's so new, it's not yet on the shop page.

Be careful, the other cable you see on Amazon or Ali might be for their IEM, that one exists since quite a while ...but could also be that Aune changed the appearance of the cable in the meantime or it's simply just the white balance or colour gradation of the picture itself.

Anyway, tbh, I can't hear too much of a difference in sound signature overall, but since it's a balanced cable, you have the advantage that the PO outputs on an amp or DAP offer more power and it gets a bit louder and fuller in comparison, but as I said, the tonality and FQ response curve isn't really different IMHO (and gladly it isn't, because it's really tuned to my liking in the first place).

Anyone in Munich this weekend?
I heard through the grapevine that Aune will reveal their first closed back circum aurals there! ...would be awesome if someone could report on it .

EDIT: Ah, it's already official, the new closed back is called SR7000. ..lol, and there's a picture of Zeos at the Aune booth .
I'll try to get a test unit asap .

Those look quite nice. I'm digging the color.

It's called the AR3

Yes, that's the one and you're right, the color slightly looks different on these pictures... at least it seems darker. The one that I have is the real Aune one and it came in a really huge and nice box, but I guess it was from the first batch they sent from China to the official Aune Europe Store, and from there I got it.

For 40-50 Bucks I think it is a well fitting small upgrade to the AR5000.

I already sent a request for the SR7000 to try it out. I dig closed backs, too and tbh, Aune really seems to know what they're doing within the headphone landscape. I'm so looking forward to listen to them.

Was at Munich today.

7000 is less sensitive than the 5000, and.... its actually more neutral!? (Less bass thump)
But not in a bad way. Its a very clean closed-back sound.

I'm also looking forward to hearing your impressions. I'm going to hold off on purchasing either until I can make a better informed decision. Who am I kidding, I'll likely end up with both. The struggle is real.

More of a monitor presentation? Makes sense. Did you find the 5000 more colored, fun, and musical?
