Those new deluxe deep cups look cool! Not exactly my style personally, but they are very neat looking.

Hi Rob,

Happy Birthday and congratulations on getting the Black Palms. I find them to me very good looking. I actually got to see the price of a Headphile special this time. I was tempted to get them (though probably already too late) but didn't as I have a pair of Leopard wood DBs due any time.

Hope that you enjoy them.

i don't think you'l be disappointed in those cans or that choice in wood. be prepared for tons of bass though. i found mine a little overwhleming for the first day or two, but once i adjusted to them i fell in love. the only reason i'm selling mine is because i have two pairs of cocos.

Thanks Ken! Appreciate that.

his new ones are up.. I personally think they're kind of tacky, I mean I love darths but these are a little... just not to my personal prefrence.

You guys think everyone here should at least own one Darth Beyer?

I'm thinking about getting one... but then I'd also have to get an amp for full-size headphones too...

Change your Sig to:

Give me Etys,
or give me DARTHS

Not to be cheeky or anything, but I think those new Deluxe Darths would be worth it if you have this SS:


NO, its not a Solid State Amp

See the resemblance?

Is it just me or is the new Deluxe Darths inspired by the Camaro SS ??

BOTH of 'em also have awesome BASS

darths aren't bad at all, but i wouldn't say that everyone should have them. it depends on what music you listen to mostly. but if you do decide to get some, i know of some cocobolos that are for sale.

Everyone who listens to rock and blues should have a a pair of closed Darths because once they start enjoying them they only have to focus on buying deep cup Darths. Saves a lot of time.

Just IMHO of course...

I like the new VXD but what I'm taking my sweet time before I jump. What I have already sounds so good. I'm waiting for something that makes me swoon.

 

[wrecked_porsche]

I'm waiting for my closed Flame Maple Darths... I can't wait to hear them with trance, new age and chill out music... I hope they do well with those kinds of music.

Tablas, violins, Indian flutes, shamisen, sitars... Those kinda stuff...

Anyone here listens to that kind of music with their Darths?

I'm also starting to save for one of the deep cups... then when I see one that tickles my fancy I'm gonna gun it down....

Darths like much world music varieties -- I use them for that myself.
Also good with the erhu -- and also Keren Ann and Mazzy Star and some Cat Power stuff, too. And Beck's Sea Change CD, especially. And with Tubular Bells.
Darths love stringed instruments, flutes, etc.....
Darths like stuff best with a softer, less percussive non-massive bass-line, so that you hear a realistic live-type bass -- like being there.
Some stuff, usually electronica (Massive Attack?), the bass can be too much -- other stuff, like with big, deep, upright bass, softly plucked so the bass sort of "oozes" forth, will put you into Nirvana. You can f-e-e-l the lowest bass notes entring your ears....
The crystal-clear mids and non-fatiguing highs are icing on the cake. Details galore!
*Especially* the deep-cup Darths, which are my favorites -- but hard to get -- of course.
