I tested now also the original C-types from Final. It‘s the best of all, most comfortable...but the sound is changed a little bit. The sound with the B-types is the best for me.
I had dx220 with t5p gen2. Sonically it wasnt perfect match. Didn't had balanced cable that time to try with beyer. Proper source and amplification is the key to these headphones. VIs also doesn't play good with everything. Currently I'm listening on combo xduoo xd-05 plus with little bear b4-x. I like it more than dx220. Didn't had max version.
T5 gen2 arrived and I don’t like to much with Shanling M6 pro, but with iBasso DX220 Max has better marching.
DX220 Max has a different tuning to any other iBasso.
Anyway I Still prefer Pandora Hope VI with Invictus SILVER plated cable, has an amazing match with M6 pro.
I love Pandora Hope VI because is lively and dynamic, maybe not a reference sound but very close to live event.
If I like this sound signature will I find with VIII or X?
I think D8000 would be a different beast.

Problem with VIII and X is that they very hard to nearly impossible to get second hand. If you like VIs sound signature I would suggest to get them some better amplification and source. I love them with tube amplification. You can use your portable players as a source to try if this is the path for you.
Hi all, this has been a very thread to follow. I am current trying to decide between the Sonorous VI and the Fostex TH610. Unfortunately I can’t get to demo either headphone. Has anyone compared the two? At the moment (here in Australia) the Sonorous VI are $799 and the TH610’s are $699. For reference I currently have the Hifiman HE4XX and Sony MDR-Z7M2 (I sold my Oppo PM3’s to fund these at a great price). I like the 4XX for the acoustic/old school rock/classical and the Z7M2 for that bass hit or when I just want something low volume and unobtrusive on in the background.
I am after a closed back, with a bit more detail and a bit more ‘tidy’ and less I s’pose veiled then the Sony’s (I liken them to listening to Jim’s Hendrix through a tube amp). Any thoughts would be most welcome. And for info, the same store has Focal Elegia (with bundled Dragonfly Red) for $999.
Where did you buy yours? It seems their new official rep in France is Son-video. Otherwise try PMing @Final Audio here - they have one of the best community managers I’ve ever seen but he hasn’t been active for some weeks.

Yep! Of the other two, one is uncomfortable and makes the sound energetic but spikey, while the other one is said to degrade SQ. The C combine comfort and a tamer sound, and yes they keep the driver further from the ear.
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy your VI. Keep those original pads at hand though - they are part of the magic, and depending on your posture and listening conditions they may prove bearable sometimes and let you experience a different take on the headphones’ sound. But yeah I literally had sore ears sometimes wearing mine for extended sessions.
