So...I guess there's an "HD" version of these now out? Interesting...
 
Steve Guttenberg review on CNet.

 
I've got them here to measure.
 
Haven't opened the box yet, though.

Good to hear!

i wonder if the new hd will offer some kind of soundstage, which the old version lacked.

 

[riker1384]

I tried the original version and they sounded better than any other closed headphone I've heard so far (ATH-M50, Bose AE2, Creative Aurvana Live) , but they had very little isolation, making them useless for the purposes you would use a closed headphone for. And they weren't great by open-headphone standards, so I returned them. The CNET review says the new one has better isolation. I wonder how much better.

It's weird that there is no mentioning about it on the noontec website. They do advertise the new supra aural headphones they are about to release named Hammo.

Any new impressions on these? I ordered a different pair but I might go with these instead if they're a good step up over the original Zoros.

Just read the review on Cnet, even more refined sound...NICE!
 
Btw, Hal Rockwell - how did the earpad swap go on the Zoro? I am as well eager to try  

 

[Hal Rockwell]

I'm yet to receive the Beats' earpads. I guess it takes longer to ship to Israel. The moment I'll receive them and have an opportunity to try them on, I'll post my findings.

Thanks Hal.
Btw, the Noontec Zoro HD seems to be available in Germany OR is it? the photos are of the regular Zoros 

. Will just have to give it a try! (40 euros for a regular Zoro is as well a good price 

)

 

[sofastreamer]

please report back, when they arrive

 

[bala]

Sure sofastreamer, will do!

 

[DMax99]

I can see a couple HD ones available on ebay now. They are much more expensive than the first version that I have bought

 

[Kanto]

edit: meant to post this in the deals thread because there are a lot of one deal a day-ish sites having good deals on the Zoro HDs right now

 

[Hal Rockwell]

Just received the Solo HD earpads. Took them off the rings they came attached to without any problem but they don't fit over the Zoro's cause they're too small in diameter.
Anyway, the only conclusion I came to was that there is no difficulty in removing the Zoro stock pads and putting them back on.

Has anyone been able to test out the Zoro HDs yet? I saw groupon had them on sale for around $55 the other day. I can't imagine there being a huge difference in build and sound quality at that price.
