Still no impressions of the Rock version (and comparison to PLS)?

From myself, I can say: in the Rock version there are simply more low frequencies ... and that's it.

Any disadvantages?

Are they heavier due to the bigger size and two way construction?

Do they have dust covers? How much do you have to take care of them?

Thanks. I appreciate your feedback.

Yeah - I am also curious. I am a little of a basshead, and mostly listen to rock and metal music, so I thought Rock version would be a better fit for me.
Arthur was very clear about how (in his opinion) I should go with PLS and the upgrade cable (which adds a little bit of bass). He stated the PLS with upgrade cable should have plenty bass. Definitely more than ANY Stax headphone!
So... I did place an order for PLS with upgrade cable, but I will be lying if I said I am not still thinking about this decision......
Both are probably amazing, so one cannot go wrong
(visually, I do like the PLS shape better!)

Wow nice!
I am also pretty determined to buy me a live or rock once i got enough cash.

I totally love that wood look and design compared to those ugly stax things

My Kaldas RR1 got me hooked on estats and this should be the bang for the buck estates.
So would be interesting to hear some impressions.

Hi guys I'm a stax noob who recently impulse bought a pair of PLS with upgraded cable and this is what I think about them so far:
As a disclaimer, I don't have golden ears, and I'm not much if a writer so bear with me.
Right out of the box, they look just as great as they do the in the photos.I got the red color which I think makes the PLS way more luxurious and the wood quality definitely lives up to expectations.
In terms of comfort, they're very comfortable. If I had to nit-pick I'd say the headband likes to stay flat on my head so it can hurt the very top of after about 2 hours, but with some padding I managed to fix it. Honestly, it might just be me.
Probably my favorite part about the PLS is how easy they are to drive. I have a 323s and 727a and both drive the PLS so well I don't feel an upgrade to a KG amp would benefit me at all.
Regarding sound, all I'm gonna say is that they blow anything e-stat I've owned out of the park. (nectar sound pollinator, sr-003, and a esp-950). The pollinator is honestly about the same bass quantity but i prefer the improved resolution of the bass on the PLS. The sound staging is wider than the above 3, and so is the dynamic range.

thanks guys. sorry for the crap post

Haha - sounds like you got MY Peruns... I have ordered the PLS with upgrade cable in red, too.
Unfortunately, I won't see mine before December... Quite a long queue now!

What's their sound signature like? Is there anything they do particularly well or poorly? Pics?
I'm really curious about these especially if all the praise thus far is warranted.

I have PLS and I would say they have amazing bass performance very linear and goes deep. You do not need cable as much as a KGSSHV carbon for plenty of bass. I wish they had a little more top end ... but mid and bass performance is good but the bass is slower than Stax ones and not much volume. They do not punch but they rumble deep.

So Rock version has more bass volume compared to PLS?

I am very interested to get the Rock version, and compare to my other electrostats

Definitely perun in my books beats my Stax l300 Limited edition and stax 007 mk2 which i compared here

Time to look at the Rock version as its interesting to get

 

[ahmedie]

I would only buy rock version (or any perun) bcz they have a squarish shape as lamda and HD600 which is my preferd shape for image specifity, forward vocals, and can hear instruments from mic position.

November

Did you get your Peruns yet?

 

[Bonddam]

I wish he made it bigger DDD

Looks like two bookshelves is the new

Look way bigger than I thought...
When my pair arrives - I hope the bottom does not go below my jaw line!
Seriously, I hope it is not too big for medium sized head (at least I think my head is average. Definitely not a very large head here...).

 

[Bonddam]

I’m going to wear them in public just ordered Rock in blue with upgraded cable.
