I understand what you guys were saying about the GH50 I received yesterday In Baltic Sea, I wasn't clear yesterday. The color is different than the norm. I checked quite a few out and it is certainly not the same.

Can it be compared to the Atrium from ZMF? Which do you prefer more?A serendipitous h/p/a pairing with Gjallarhorn JM Edition (original)…

The Gjallarhorn JM Edition (original) is a closed-back h/p; Atrium is an open-back h/p. The musical presentation of each is quite different from that of the other. I enjoy both and listen to whichever I am “in the mood for”.
How would you compare the Atrium to the Verite Closed?

I can’t find any comparisons between Rognir and Stealth. Can anyone help?

I did an extensive A/B some time when the Stealth came out (on the Stealth thread). My conclusion:
One is incredibly exciting with fantastic dynamics, precise imaging, and a natural but musical timbre.
The other one isn't.

I’ll look deeper for it but I’m guessing by your use of the word exciting the stealth was the looser. I heard the stealth and exciting it is not lol.I did an extensive A/B some time when the Stealth came out (on the Stealth thread). My conclusion:

I've also owned both and the Rognir came out on top for my preferences as well. They're just a more exciting headphone to listen to. I have yet to find anything that beats its engagement factor which is why I love it and i'm no longer searching for my next pair of cans.

Yup, I was just being snarky. But basically - the Stealth, as I heard it, was very flat, dry, with a monitor like presentation. I am not a fan of the DCA tuning overall. I especially find the lack of dynamics hard to endure. But I can see it's appeal if one is looking for an uncoloured headphone with great comfort and build.
By contrast, the Rognir (planar) has a fairly forward presentation, with astounding technical chops and an energetic timbre. I would not really say these two headphones have much in common.
My original (more reflective) comparison is here - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/dan...iew-measurements.959214/page-79#post-16554262

I agree with this. My quest for closed-back headphones is over. All that remains now is for me to get an open back version of the Rognir, which I think will be the Final D8000 Pro.

Why not the Thekk? I heard it is amazing. If not the Utopia and 1266 are very dynamic.

I'll look into the Thekk, though my understanding it's more mid-centric? Utopia is appealing but I'm looking for planar (plus I'm not a fan of the Focal driver issue with too much sub-bass). 1266 I can't get on board with the fit. And looks.
