610 g is not nothing for the cervical vertebrae for prolonged listening...No one felt this excess weight?

I share this concern with you.

I only wore them briefly at canjam, so take this with a grain of salt, but I did think they were very comfortable. In my opinion "heavy" headphones are no issue as long as the weight is well distributed, and I think this will be one of those. I might be in the minority here, but I actually prefer the heavier headphones. The light ones feel too fragile, and like they might just come off my head if I move too suddenly. Maybe this is why they are often so clampy.

All of my hp are under 500 g to a hair over.

610 g has me seriously considering the Magna. No point in buying the amazing Immanis hp if they tweak my neck.

Given that I won't be able to afford the Immanis any time soon this will do in the meantime...





Now to build a high pass filter for the sr1b so they and the subs don't tread on each other's toes...

Hmm... Maybe this isn't a totally mad idea after all

Get yourself a neck like our good friend SteveHulk and you will not have any problems.

I get to the gym several days a week but I obviously need to focus more on the cervical spine!
Somehow Steve's neck on my 173 # body might be a bit much!

Exactly, the Caldera for example for me right now are obviously heavy in terms of its raw weight, but it's made so comfortable, I can easily do an all day wear, at least a work day and then some. What's another 50-100 grams gonna do if it's about the same in comfort?

Whether the helmet is comfortable or not, there is always 610 g on the vertebrae….

So what is the point?
What does it matter if it's comfortable?

 

[silversurfer616]

As they said at the butcher’s “ Darfs auch etwas mehr sein?” But that was a hundred years ago and after military service(heavy steel helmets, my dear) and daily gym, I don’t get what some people are talking about? Irony off!

 

[planar shill]

I'm used to the LCD-4 so I thought it was light. I would have guessed 515 grams or so if you had asked me without reading all this.

I'd like to post some impressions on the Magna. There are three active threads for the Raal now, one is the announcement thread for Raal.

Any opinion on where I should post, or if someone can create a thread just for Magna? (Not sure if I have permissions to start a topic). The Magna absolutely deserves to be in Summit-Fi all on its own. But I also wonder if a moderator could not simply re-name the SRH1a thread to include all the ribbon models.

Feedback appreciated.

Here would be good as it's got impressions of both...

Share in both, here and in the main announcement thread . Not everyone is frequenting both threads, I think it would be valuable in both threads. Probably makes sense to keep the impressions for the Immanis and Magna both in the same centralized threads for cross sharing, plus ribbons are still a niche offering for the most part.

 

[Spawn300Z]

To be honest. Like most of the headphones in summit-fi they each have their own thread.
