Welcome SillyChili, make sure you share your thoughts with us! Did you get your L5Pro from Penon?

I think the two feature you mentioned are some where down the road for firmware updates.

Was spending some time with friend's edition8 on L5Pro.
 
 

 

 
The synergy between the two was way better than I thought. I have friends claiming ED8 had over brighten treble and lacking bass response, but it doesn't seem like case with L5 Pro. Treble was bright but very smooth, and bass has quite some body but lacking some bass extensive for sure. I felt like L5 Pro had just enough power to drive ED8, the sound was very "full" when comparing to the less-well-driven T5P on L5P.  The sound stage presentation does something funny, it is quite hard to describe, but it has a very different presentation when comparing to other headphones(hard to say it is good or bad). Maybe something with this S-Logic?
 
Rock music and female vocals were great on ED8 on L5P, would make a great office combo. Too bad my ears are too large for the ear cup, and ED8 keep compressing my ears when they are on. =( T5P on the other hand is much more comfortable for long listening session.
 
But the sound synergy would make me recommend this eye-candy combo for L5P/ED8 users.

Hi...are you saying the ED8 is nicer looking than T5p?
Were you also saying the T5p are harder to drive, by saying they were less well driven?

Hey, I actually like the look and construction on T5p better, but objectively I would expect many would love ED8's more luxury looks.
 
T5p is definitely harder to drive than ED8. Although ED8 require a higher volume level(by just a bit) to reach the same output level comparing T5p, T5p was benefited much more with an external/desktop amp than ED8.

Just saw some performance test results for L5 Pro in the chat group posted by Mr.Wan, he said the test was done under 32-ohm lord, with THD of 0.0027% and SNR of 112 dB.
 
Here are some screenshot of the test result, I honestly have no idea what they mean, just wanted to share you guys and maybe some Head-Fiers familiar with these tests can give some insights.

Basically means that distortion is way below audibility thresholds, and the noise floor is really low.
 
Both excellent signs.
 
If Mr Wan could provide output power measurements into
16 ohm
32 ohm
300 ohm
it would be very handy.
 
Also - do we know the impedance from the headphone out?

The output Vrms for L5 Pro is 2.4v for High gain, and 3.0v for Ultra High Gain. (I do not know the ones for medium and low, but it should be subsequently lower.)
 
Therefore, the calculated output power would be(roughly)
On High:
16 ohm: 360mw
32 ohm: 180mw
 
On Ultra High:
16 ohm: 563mw
32 ohm: 280mw
 
It is calculated so it might vary a bit with the real result, I thought Paul you have the equipment to test these.
 
The output impedance is less than 50 milli-ohm.

Thanks John. I possibly do have the equipment but not the knowledge :wink:

Just wondering if anyone is interested for a massdrop of L5 Pro?

Wonder if it is worth it to go through some troubles, here is a link for L5 Pro Massdrop campaign if someone is interested but haven't vote for it.
