I've placed my order today. With UPS, the CL2 should be here before I go on holiday in mid September. This could be a worthy return to IEMs for me, so fingers crossed!

Not without an adapter - sorry. When we started developing the Dacamp, then the CL1 alongside it, the standard amongst balanced connections was still a contested issue. However, when time came to make a decision on CL2's connections, 2.5mm was generally considered to have come out on top.
On the subject - though the CL2 does sound great through an amplifier, it has an impedance of 15Ω (compared to the CL1's 150Ω (piezo drivers are v. hungry)), so can be driven without.

any idea where i can find such an adapter ? (2,5 balanced female to the RHA L1 balanced input ? ) I've always been frustrated not to be able to use the balanced input of the L1, and as you mentioned, the CL1 is out of stock unfortunately.

You can easily go for a custom made adapter. It is not that expensive (mine costs about 50€/though it is the other way around to connect the balanced cable from the CL 1 to single ended sources together with my Xelentos - cause the cable really sounds that good) and was made by Custom Cans UK.
But you need to contact them with this interest, because there is no example on their homepage.

Hi Head-Fi!

We're very excited to announce the next installment in the CL Series; the CL2 Planar.

It's a closed-back in-ear headphone that features a planar magnetic driver at its core.

The housings are moulded from zirconium dioxide, a ceramic compound; they're detachable and use MMCX connections.

We've made it - and shipped it - with a range of cables, including a Bluetooth wireless neckband, and balanced 2.5mm cable.

MSRP: £799.95 / $899.95

More info here; ask away below! We'll be arranging a listening tour shortly.​

How do these compare to shure se846? I am looking into preordering these, and am trying to decide between these and the shures. How does the bass compare to shure low pass filter?
Thanks for any info you can toss my way.

Nobody really knows yet as I don’t think anybody has tried them

Thanks for the reply. I read they are debuting them at the music show in Germany in a few days, guess I'll wait till people start writing about it from the show.
I can't wait to learn more about these.
But I am definitely leaning towards the planars.
Here is to hoping the hype is real.

Will these be sweat resistant?

I really love planar drivers and am super down for the listening tour.

I was about to place an order on these, but RHA just ignores their customer messages. Not a good signal at all. Gonna wait a little longer or pull the trigger on the new Z1R.

I cant get any info on these at all.
Now I am about to buy campfire vega's.
Currently I have 0 iems, and need to order something Monday.
The planars look good, but 0 info on sound quality and signature out there.

Campfire Audio support, on the other hand, is flawless and as a Vega owner, it will put a smile on your face

To be fair they aren't released yet so there will be no info available on sound etc. I think they may have been demoed at a show in Berlin but if nobody from Head-fi was present then info will still be thin on the ground.

I'm no RHA fanboy, never heard or owned any of their products but I am very tempted by these and hope to get on the review tour, if not I'll probably order when some initial impressions start to come in.

I am ordering them 1st thing in the morning.
Might pick up the planar cl2 later. Provided reviews are good.
I am stoked for the Vegas, need that extra motivation at the gym .
War drums here I come.

Dammit, now I am confused.
