Just wanted to thank everyone here for the EQ discussion. It convinced me to finally download EQ APO, HeSuVi, and MegaSwitcher. Wow, just a whole new world to explore.

Helpful tip for those new to HeSuVi;

Each time you select a new headphone HeSuVi, make certain to press the "Get Suggestion" button
This will attenuate the equalisation low enough to avoid distortion.

@hottyson So, when is the HE6SE v2 vs AMT vs HD-800S showdown review coming?

I may get the funds together for a Sennheiser HD800S or Meze Audio 109 PRO this coming summer, or possibly both. Also, I shall have completed my set of college courses by summer. So... I would be happy to throw this together around June and produce some comparisons around July.

Sitting at my desk, just finished eating, and browsing forums while listening to a Chicago playlist on Amazon Music HD, and I still have the euphoria for these headphones. They just do so many things right for me. I was looking at the Avatone Planar Pro and they also have a rectangular earcup, and have some of the same decriptors I would use for the AMT: holographic imaging, etc. I am wondering if the cup design is responsible for the imaging.

I think I may provide a comparison between Monolith AMT and HD800S as well, just need to find the time to write down some in-depth impressions...

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on these yet. They were originally targeted for a December 1 launch date, but they opened up for sale today, supposedly in stock and shipping tomorrow. Priced at $999.

I ordered a pair to compare to the Gold Planar GL1200.

I have heard mixed things on these

Are monolith headphones still any good in 2023? I remember they used to be pretty good value for money

They have a wonk stock tuning, which is rather common for the 3 1st gen AMT headphones due to a flat mids-treble area from 1k-7k. (The other two may have less flatness) However, AMT drivers take EQ stupidly well, so you just need a good FR chart and EQ. (I use an EQ from AutoEQ for the GL850, then tweak for my age and preferences)

The HEDDphone II seems to have a better stock tuning, but they're $2K. I can use EQ and only spend $420.

This link doesn't work on my PC. It comes up with a "discontinued product" page. Do you have an alternate?

$449 with code XMAS25 - tempting.

Today I decided to listen to my AMTs on my history of amps, with my venerable Headroom Supreme, Asgard 3, and my current Liquid Platinum. The Headroom amp just murders the holographic imaging, and makes the AMTs come across as flat L/R imaging. The Asgard 3 improves things, and you can pick up on the Schiit House sound, and there was some smoothing to the presentation. Then the Liquid Platinum, which just cleared everything up, and just gave me blissful music. So yes, these AMT will scale with hardware improvements.

It's after midnight, so Merry Christmas to one and all! I'm going to decompress listening to a Pentatonix Xmas playlist on Amazon Music HD, and then wander off to bed.

is HeSuvi and impulcifer and such good for stereo tracks?
i considered learning what i can do with all the fancy calibrations and graphs and EQ
maybe just use PeaceEQ with AutoEQ




considering the newest Heddphone or the Monolith
i tried Monolith for like a day but had to RMA it and then considered to just refund but maybe shouldn't have
i might get one eventually, or see what else Canjam has
AMT is kinda special though, right?
i didn't end up buying during the August sale either

the newest heddphone Two (not same as the older v2) has faux leather earpads but some nice suspension strap
i'm wondering if after EQ if Monolith is better or not
a lot of EQ app on phone don't seem to heavily apply the EQ
if it's just at the computer and if i can definitely do EQ, maybe Monolith will be ok
