I received a fool offer for the r10 bass light in amazing condition without box!

if it's real and in good condition, take it!!!

a case is nothing, you can always find a great on. R10 headpones though... very hard to find

Can you check me the link for the case storage?
P.s thanks for your answer!

I used some thin foam padding to lightly make it form fit the R10 and protect it further. I now also use these for meets/CanJams. Very compact and reliable.

You don’t listen to the case or the box. If it’s working and very good condition to great condition and a good price, and you have the money, no reason to hold back.

ha! I use this case too but the version withou tthe foam, so I can fit more models easier - brought 2 of these to CanJam Dallas (the Tungsten for my friend, and an AC for myself) - I just stuff bubble wrap inside so the headphones stay put - but these are totally fantastic form factor for protection...

I think this would be a great deal!

Hey guys, I am looking for a r10 for some time already, of course they are hard to find, because they are so rare ...and if there is an offer, they are mostly scams. Its like looking for a unicorn.
So I am now thinking to give up and considering the closed zmf offerings with the biocell driver.
Anyone here who has both and could share a comparison between the r10 and one of the zmf closed ones? I am especially interested in the mids and vocal rendition.
I have experience with various biocell headphones and think that they especially excel at the natural rendition of the mids (guess r10 is the king here, but never heard one), do the ZMFs come close? I also think the biocells somehow don't always get the highs right, they aren't so smooth somehow, often sibilant. How are the r10 in the highs?

I had the time to confront my r10 with a verite closed.
The r10 outclass the verity closed by a big margin;have less sub bass the old king but it have much more clarity,soundstage in total different league and simply more natural.
Until now the best closed back by I tried by ZMF is the caldera IMHO;but this last one don’t have a bio cellulose driver and don’t have the souls like the r10 have.
For mids,well..I think the r10 doesn’t show a “summit fi resolution”,the r10 seriously reproduce the voice in the most real way possible.
And the r10 never show any harshness.

I think that almost any R 10 that has not had the foam replaced, does not represent what they sound like.

If I may offer a small correction, the Caldera are open backed (and planar magnetic).

I had the VC and currently have the AC (and R10). What kind of music do you listen to, and what do you mostly value/enjoy in any headphone? I’ll try to offer some input in context

Ooops I totally forgot was open back

.......

Thanks for your comparison @kiling92 I guess I'll keep searching for a r10 then

Thanks that would be very interesting indeed @goldwerger as I was wondering about the AC and how it compares to the r10, especially in the mids, vocals and treble. I am listening to all sorts of music but mainly with vocals (not classical or opera but rather pop, rock, alternative etc.)
Technical finesse is important but the most important thing is natural sound reproduction especially in the mids and vocals. I think Sony products have always excelled in mids (even when a bit recessed) they are very natural and realistic. I guess soundstage is also important as it helps with realism

The 1st time I ever heard the R10 was in China in Shanghai using the iBasso DX50. The sound was burned into my head. The spaciousness, detail and imaging. I got out the DX50 the other day, updated to the latest firmware from 2016, and it sounds the same. Amazing a dap, that cost a few hundred dollars, sounds this good and powers the R10 easily. The 3D of the combination is extremely good. The 2nd to last FW for the DX50 sucked. Poor sound but the last one, is the best they ever did for the DX50 and the combination is very enjoyable to listen with.
