To @frost15: The headband cover is shown below. The Dekoni nugget has adhesive. You just need to peel off a tab then attach the nugget.

I saw your post and found the Geekria on amazon too, so I ordered it as it would arrive sooner than ebay' ( I'm leaving town Wed). I received it yesterday and when I was putting it on, the darn zipper end came Off. . I'm guessing a defective one but leery to order the same...Sent it back and will try an alternative. When I return in 3 weeks.

You can try this one below which I use on my Gjallarhorns.

Hello,
I just received my LSA HP-1 (thank you Walter for this very fast delivery : ordered Thursday > Monday morning by me in France !).
I am still in the burn-in phase, but I like its sound so far, specially the highs are softer than the one from my Focal Clear. Soundstage is also nice, not extremely open but on paar with the Clear. Bass are a bit more present than on the Focal but the overall presentation of sound is well done (everything at the right place)

I find the mids a bit too strong for my taste and was wondering if an EQ has already been done for the HP-1 ?
I checked https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results but didn't find any.
I use the RME ADI-2 + Peace/APO for the eq.

Thanks for your help !

There are some measurements around for individual HP-1's. While I had them I enjoyed the ECL-02 pads with them a bit more then the ECL-01. 02 pads add a bit more bass (which also result in a slightly less forward mid ofc).
In this case I would just do a frequency sweep with your RME ADI-2 or APO to find the frequencies that bug you most and apply a small negative amplification with a wide Q to start out with.

 

[arielext]

Find those weak spots:
- set q value at 3 (this determines the width of the filter)
- make sure your filter is set to peak
- apply a pre-amp of -12dB (to prevent clipping)
- sweep the 4khz - 20khz range is steps of 1 khz and apply a +12dB gain. So 4khz first; then 5khz, while lowering 4khz back to 0dB; then 6khz, with 5khz back to 0dB etc etc
- you will notice discomfort at 1 of multiple steps; you now have found the weak spot(s) of your headphone!
- now apply a as much -dB as you personally prefer on that frequency until you are satisfied
- now set your pre-amp back to 0
- profit

Thanks for your reply !
I will look into it.

Which are the default pads on the HP-1 ? ECL-01?
I find the HP-1 already have enough bass stock to my taste (not a huge fan of big bass, I like better tight and well controlled bass).

If you use such great EQ devices then it's not so important to choose specific (and expensive) headphones - almost every (and quite cheap) hp will eventually sound great after personal tuning.

I have to disagree here. I have various mid/highend headphones (HP1/Focal Clear/Sundara/DT1990/M1060/HD58x/...), and even after EQ there are big differences between all these headphones.
Detail retrieval, soundstage, clarity and overall sound balance can't be fixed by a simple EQ

a wonderful new phase for Kennerton manufacturing - combining acrylics/stabilized woods- I think these will be highly desirable

Wow! At first glance they looked like some different types of syrup were poured into a mold but I see now how the colors are integral to the earcups. Nice.

What does that mean? New edition? Different driver?
