Good to hear. I wonder how they compare to the Acoustic Research.They aren’t Audeze heavy and won’t slide off. It’s little more clamp force but HE1000 comfortable.

any sound impressions
I’m not ready to give sound impressions. I’m also waiting for cable by Rosson audio to arrive, ordered 4 pin xlr that they just made on request.
Unfortunately, this graph doesn't really tell us that much, because it looks like it has had a compensation curve applied to it. A FR graph with the raw response is what you want.I emailed info@rosson.audio and asked for a FR graph they emailed back pretty quick and here it is.
Also, I hope the starting dBSPL level for these is not correct. Because if it is, it would mean that these headphones are only 81 dB/mW, making them even harder to drive than the infamous HiFiMAN HE-6 and Susvara, which are rated at only 83 dB/mW and requires a minimum of 1-2 Watts just to wake them up!

It’s says unsmoothed, not sure if there is any curve applied. Could be wrong though
Unsmoothed just means that the tiny peaks and dips (which are usually just fractions of a dB each) of the FR measurement haven’t been removed or ‘smoothed over’.

Ahhhhh ok I see what you mean.
What a big improvement with the XLR cable Rosson audio made for me. They should offer this as an option.

Would you mind posting some impressions of the headphone?

The Rad has great low end, mid bass is good. Mid range and higher seems Neutral.

Me too. Would like to know how they stack up to Audeze.

I’d love to hear just one comprehensive impression. I’d buy one just to try it but I can’t even find a return policy on their website.
