Sure thing! I wanted to get home so I could refer to the notes I took at the show. Please note that the noise, short listen time and unfamiliar songs caveats still apply.Anything else you might be able to add? Noticeable differences between the two models? Good weight to the music? Thanks!
Build: Excellent build quality and very sturdy in the hand. Nice quality metal and leather, not sure if actual wood or pressed wood, looks really great and grill is really pretty.
Comfort: The headphones are decently comfortable though I would have liked a bit more cup swivel. The form factor kind of reminded me of the abyss 1266 where it seems like it's more of an ear speaker design rather than a traditional headphone. The pads are nice and plush, lots of space for the ears. The weight distribution is pretty good thanks to the double headband. Magna was a little more comfortable probably due to the lighter weight.
Sound: Magna sounds very fast and resolving. I had just listened to the Susvara on the Felix Envy and it reminded me of that set up. I had my Meze Elites on hand to compare and the Magna sounded comparatively slightly less warm and rich through the midrange and they had slightly more upper mid emphasis which made vocals really pop and sound really textured. It seemed the separate the vocals and backing instruments really well and my Elites sounded comparatively smoother and less distinct.
Immanis sounded very similar to the Magna, same technical capabilities but maybe had slightly more warmth? Notes seemed to hang in the air slightly longer. And bass frequencies seemed slightly more prominent. I am not sure if this is just the headphones or because it was hooked up to a tube amp. Soundstage also seemed a tad bigger but not by much.
Overall they were both very enjoyable and technically capable listens and were highlights for me at the show. I would love a chance to do more critical listening in a quiet room with my own music. If I had the opportunity to buy one now I would probably get the Magna, not only for the lighter weight/comfort but also price wise, it's more attainable. I have a warm source chain so I am sure they would perform nicely since I tend to favor a slightly warmer signature. Really looking forward to hearing them and other raals again beacuse I loved my first experience with those ribbon headphones.
