I recently purchased number 24 of 100. The hardest thing in purchase was deciding on color. I will post with pics and review latter.

I’ve been waiting for some impressions! They look amazing, I’m hoping they sound as good as they look!

I had Audeze LCD X but enjoy the Rosson more. I like the bass and even better when bass boost is used.

 

[XERO1]

Nice!!

I've heard all of Audeze's line-up and the LCD-X is still my favorite of the bunch.

And if these sound better than those, then....

Looks like a cross between Audeze and Monolith.

They aren’t Audeze heavy and won’t slide off. It’s little more clamp force but HE1000 comfortable.

Are they efficient?

 

[Bonddam]

They are efficient with xlr connection vs 3.5 mm se. I wish they posted spl.

 

[Bonddam]

I don’t know if having high wattage amp helps with efficiency. I’m currently using ifi Ican pro. They claim 14 watts. With single ended cable I have to use gain switch. With xlr I don’t have to.
