I guess you officially can now. I've been MOT'd so I guess the Paradox is officially for sale!
 

 
Well, sooner or later, you had to go over to the dark side.

I have had a host of rules applied to me so I guess I can't promote or do anything but praise other peoples stuff.
 
You'll have to email me for details.

I started my audio hobby with car audio. While it paid off immensely in the end, it was all such a PITA. Headphones are so much easier to deal with...
 
Glad to see that the Paradox is officially for sale! 
 
For anyone that is wondering if they should get them, I'll save you the time. I'm not going to write some wordy review about them. You get what you pay for. Top-notch, neutral, closed headphones. Worth every penny.
 
I apply a tiny bit of EQ to them based on the measurements purrin and Tyll put out (just a couple + or - 1db touches in a few spots), and it's hard to stop listening. 
 
Word of advice...depending on your ears, they will either sound very strange at first or like a breath of fresh air when coming from other headphones. It can take a moment to adjust to neutrality if your brain isn't entirely used to it.

So LFF what do you think of ED8's?

Yeah...the major problem is that the car owner is refusing to use dynamat, He doesn't want to add much weight to the car and he doesn't want the tar smell.
 
I have come up with a novel solution that works and almost cuts off firewall noise 100%. Don't know if he will like it though as it's time consuming and not cheap.

As a MOT I apparently can't comment on other headphones no matter how horribly bad (or good) they might be.

Rhytm...
 
What we discuss in person or on other sites is different from what I am allowed to post here now (or prohibited from posting here). Please respect that fact. I don't want to get in trouble for posting my honest opinions here.
 
There are rules I am now forced to follow here...like it or not...it's not my forum to dictate.
 
I don't want to sound like an ass but please respect that.
 
Thanks.

Well I can say whatever I want as long as I don't insult MOT's which I think I just did....  But I won't tempt you anymore.

Make an anonymous alt account on head-fi maybe? If you still want to be in touch with various discussions here that is.
 
Unless that is also against the rules? I dunno how mods might reinforce that though.

Wouldn't even dream of it.
 
I'll remain LFF here and on other forums.

I've never heard that model.  But, I will say that they are a classy looking pair of headphones.  In fact, the look almost too purdy to even use.
