Where is the travel case?

Where is the travel case?

Exactly my thoughts. I hope it is under theleaflet.
That carry case is going to be a let down if not included.

Travel case included, the same as the one I received with the Zenith. Same large case as the Aten.

Yeah doubted Bob would lie to us. Great news.
Now to get it dwlivered, get home and compare it to zeniths and Atlas.

Out of the box they sound amazing. What the Aten did to the Zenith in how much improvement they made the Rah do the same to the Aten.

Bob you have done a fine job. Happy face

Initial impressions (box fresh, 5 mins listening):
It's everything I was expecting. Big IMR bass (black/black filters), mids are smooth and detailed. Big sound, with a nice sense of scale and openness.
Will burn in for a few days and come back with some proper impressions. Need to work out which filters will dial back the bass just a touch to let me hear the midrange microdetail to see how good this planar driver really is.

One point definitely jumps outb right away - haven't tried the Aten, but the Rah shape is the best fitting of the IMR models I've tried by a considerable margin - definite ergonomic improvement over the Zenith for my particular ear shape.

It is quite the emergency lol. You have the worst ear ache which requires immediate soothing. Your free to go your services are no longer required at this time.

Spoke to Bob this morning - his preferred combo is black lower / blue upper on the Rah, so that's what I'm going with for my initial listening. Blue teases a little bit more detail in the upper mid area for me, but still very early days.

Enjoyable out of the box, though, I have to agree with that.

I'm glad the fit has improved. I have trouble with the Zenith, so I'm eagerly waiting to get mine and give a try, hopefully next week.

Is there much sound leakage from the headset?

same combo I'm using for the Aten. BTW pretty huge letdown the same old case and same old filter holder

My one just arrived. This is going to be the longest day at work this year.

I can ear @Jackpot77 music from here....

There is some but less than the Aten.

My test was holding them in my fingers and covering the tip to emulate them being in the ear.
Equipment used is 789 amp, SE input, gain 2 and approx 9 o clock on the volume dial.

In order of leakage most to least.

Aten no tip covering.
Aten tip covered.
Rah tip uncovered.
Rah tip covered.

Aten tip covered and Rah tip uncovered have roughly the same amount of leakage.
