Wow. I've rarely read a thread with such polarized opinions on the same headphone. It's either the best headphone ever or a complete POS.

It's neither. It's decent sounding for the price if used wired. Generally linear with a lower mid bass hump that may be pleasing to some and not to others.

I have never tried the wireless function, but understand that there are problems when used in this manner. The lack of support makes this a problem if wireless is important to you.

Like all things in audio impressions are magnified one way or the other.

It’s because too many people just compare one set headphones to other headphones and base what they hear on that alone. Especially reviewers. Or they cannot hear in the first place. Or they just like a certain sound/coloration and everything has to be that. If something doesn’t meet their “expectations”, it gets panned.

I like different flavours as well but also recognize when something sounds more uncoloured and like live music or good speakers in a good room.

Regardless of the ridiculous wait on kickstarter I feel they were average at best, wired or not

Average beats crap any day of the week and there's a lot of crap out there. And going for what most would consider outrageous prices too. But I haven't heard the ORA.

I’d say for the $250 or so I paid, it was a good value. Especially for the historical significance of owning one of the first true Graphene products.

Again, the VZR Model One absolutely does what I hoped these would… and more

Graphene Headphones: Ari Pinkas


This just came out - maybe Ora's drivers, a year later

Logitech:
PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset featuring PRO-G 50mm Graphene Drivers.



“Graphene is a single-layer hexagonal crystal lattice of carbon atoms with exceptional mechanical and electrical characteristics. Its discovery won a Nobel Prize in 2010. Graphene’s advantage in audio comes down to two core properties: it is incredibly lightweight with high stiffness, two properties needed for superb audio.

“When integrated into the audio driver of a gaming headset, Graphene delivers incredibly accurate and superior sound reproduction than most standard drivers of today, providing greater clarity gamers rely on to make critical decisions for the win.”

@Roll you continue to have quite the nose for information. You are probably right on this. It is a very exciting development for this technology to start seeing mass production in the market.

I’m hopeful to see more audiophile products, and am particularly interested in what Graphene could do in a VZR product with their combined acoustics breakthrough properties.

Testing currently new Logitech gaming headset and i can say, the driver looks identical / same as Ora's drivers. Sound is crazy well refined and easily much better than previous version of Logitech headset. Very exiting for this release! Headphone also works wonderfully on passive mode so any ext. amps / dac works well too.

 

[Beagle]

Oh, wireless. Never mind..

 

[Reeatsu]

Oh, wireless. Never mind..

It has passive mode too and is not tied to electronics. Currently testing passive mode, and the driver handles stupid amount of power, so it's real deal like you can almost create mini sub in your head lmao. All though closed headphone and pretty poor sound stage enclose since optimized for gaming, but its good not amazing, but graphene driver amazing.
