Not that it matters. Only just fell for their special for the current/soon old model. Don’t think the new version is that much better.

I'm a bit confused. Will the new Utopia 2022 use the Audeze connectors or something else?
Hope not. I hate how tight the mini-rca are if you haven’t worked how to use the release clips.

The utopia connectors. Just work.

Mystifying to me that they still haven't introduced a suspension headband. I really enjoyed the sound of the Utopias, but couldn't wear them as I kept getting hot spots on the top of my head.

White a head like that, no wonder😇

Finally listened to 2020 Utopias in the store today. It is a noticeable step up to Clear MG. Even more sound stage and resolution. Once listened, you just want to keep listening. I also asked about the new utopia release. Official, not yet, unofficial, yes. And the price jumped again. The store is clearing their old Utopia models and give me a fair discount. They said the new models will sound not a lot different than old models. If you really want Utopia, now is the time. Once they are out, no more old models, and it is more expensive after official release, and sell your clear MG first.

After heading back and listened to my Clear MG, I am a little hesitated. Yes, Utopia sound better, but not to a level I have to sell them. I will probably get new Utopia and compare to Clear MG first, then decide whether sell my clear MG or not.

To my ears there’s a clear difference to ClearMG, also the original Clear. No more old models? Now that’s news if true.

So when I listen to the two....for 2700 and 3100 euros....then the MG is a godsend for 1500 😇....and I'm glad I have it

The MG does a very good job for the advertised price 👍
(To sell his MG is not necessary in my opinion )
