Every headphone I've ever head just about has sounded veiled at first, until your brain adjusts.
Got the L1 today.. I dared to try them from my iPhone right out of the box and..... was not bad. I was worry for the Bass level and don't get me wrong they have bass but it's well control and you still hear the mid/hi very well. On first quick impression I think I prefer them to the Denon D5K I use to have (keep in mind this is first impression of a new toy so...)
I'll leave them running while I'm away in vacation and will retry them for a second impression.
Oh while I'm here.. they are very comfortable and light and isolation is like a close back (not as good as my DT1350 but better then expected)
Cheer....
Been watching these threads since they started and been watching Philips own website to buy them. But don't know if I should.
there now on sale in UK on philips own website:

See I started my headphone journey about 6 months back and get a asus STX soundcard and Grado 80i.... they both blew me away coming from USB Plantronics GameCon headphones. And still sound great.... but a starting the slippery road of finding and wanting better...
So my question is how do these compare to Grado 80i?

Cool man, let us know what you think about them, I'm really interested in these cans.

Well enough with questions, I took the plunge and ordered a pair.
@Ultrazino or any owner of L1s,
Do you think L1s generates less heat around your ears, compared to Denon D2000 or Creative Aurvana Live!/Denon D1001? And overall, do they convey better realism and soundstage than Denons?
Also can anyone please compare L1s with V-MODA M80s/V80s, re sound, isolation and comfort.
I have V80s and like them, although I would appreciate better sound, isolation and comfort. My damped CAL almost work in every regard, however CALs do not look as pretty as V-MODA or Philips and they heat up my ears.
Thank you in advance!
