Few months back I came across some fine looking headphones in one of those facebook headphone groups. That same headphone started showing up more an more often in my feed. I checked the official facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Studio-Audio-Sound-Handmade-300941327300195/
Studio Audio Sound Handmade. Not the most catchy name and written in Ukranian. So I contacted Sasha Lyah, the maker of the headphones and asked whats the deal. Turns out it's a commercial built on order DIY planar headphones that cost $350. With google translate I had managed to read few reviews. Most often Sasha's headphones are compared to Audeze lcd-2. Quite favorably too...infact someone said they prefer Sash Deux to LCD-MX4. I'm a nut for underground headphones so I took a change and ordered a set.
Sasha told me it would take three weeks for him to build an unit. It was a cool experience. I had an option to choose between different woods (went with oak), level of varnish I want on the headphones (went with shiny) and cable termination of my choosing. He send me pictures through the process so I could see what is going on. This was one of a kind customer service![Headphone Smile :) :)](https://cdn.head-fi.org/e/headfi/smily_headphones1.gif)
I'm well familliar with the "headphone honeymoon" phenomenon so I won't comment much about the sound quality just yet. I've had these for a couple of days now but I must say these are very impressive sounding headphones.
I measured the frequency response. I thought they sound a lot like my LCD-3 and measurements show the same.
Note: I had some seal issues with LCD-3. So Audeze's have a better bass extension than the graphs indicate.
Sash Deux are quite dark in the upper midrange but like LCD-3 they don't seem to suffer from lack of detail or dynamics. Headphones like Brainwavz Alara and mr.speaker Aeon flow open have similar darkish tone but compared to LCD-3 and Sash Deux they come off as boring, fluffy and undynamic.
I'll write a review when I get more experience with these cans. I just thought these deserve to get out in the open now because it might take a month or two for me to do a proper review.
Ah..one more thing. Sash Deux V2 is both open and closed headphone. How cool is that?![Headphone Smile :) :)](https://cdn.head-fi.org/e/headfi/smily_headphones1.gif)
