The Aune's New Generation Full-Size Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones SR7000 are now available for purchase

[AuneAudio]

Very, very early impressions (also posted on Reddit if you saw my thoughts there). These have the same great comfort and build quality as the AR, but maybe slightly better? The stitching on the leather looks cleaner, and the PADS are fantastic compared to the AR. Aune, sell these separately, I’d love them on my ARs. The case is also very nice. Including the balanced cable is a great addition too, it appears to be the same as the one they sell for the AR, but black accents instead of silver to match the SR. Comfort, build qualities, accessories, A+++.

Sound… I dunno. I’m not a super technical person, but I wasn’t blown away. I think they are slightly less bright, with pretty good detail separation, but nothing “wowed” me. If they were aiming for the same sound signature as the AR in a closed back, I think they nailed it, but I’m skeptical on if the added increase in cost is worth it to basically have a similar sound in a closed back option. I feel especially that the bass should’ve been better since it is a closed back. For someone more knowledgeable with measurements and EQ, I’d be curious to see what they would do. I’ll try and tinker later this week and see what I can find out.

Thank you very much for your love for the AR5000. Regarding the ear pads of the SR7000, we do indeed sell them separately, and they should be available for purchase soon. As for the bass you mentioned, the SR7000 does have more bass compared to the AR5000 during tuning. However, the lab tests and actual human listening experience can be different, so the final result may still vary. We are very cautious in our sound tuning process because we want to deliver the best sound to our users. We hope that after listening to the SR7000, it will leave you with a good impression. Thank you for your feedback.

@AuneAudio, I'm no marketing expert, but I really feel like y'all are missing out on a pretty big market here by not having these in the hands of reviewers, or maybe they have them and they are backlogged. I feel like your main competition here is the Focal Azurys, which currently isn't available on Amazon, which is a deal breaker for some. You also have a couple things going for you with the looks of the SR7000 being much more favorable than the Azurys in it's Frozen colors, as well as having a true balanced option. Get these out to the people! Send it to Oratory1990 for measurements! These things matter to buyers, and people are far more likely to buy these if they see some favorable reviews, or measurements from well regarded people in the industry like Oratory1990.

Oh and also give the headphone stand it's own listing on Amazon, please and thank you. I already have the AR5000 and the balanced cable, so that bundle doesn't make sense for me.

Thank you for your love and support for our products. The SR7000 has only recently been launched, and it has been a short time since then. Indeed, some users have already received the SR7000, but as you mentioned, the reviews are not yet complete. However, this shouldn't take too long. We will also find ways to get the SR7000 into the hands of more people. Regarding the headphone stand, I will bring this issue to the attention of our operations team. Thank you for your feedback.

I'm also waiting for reviews. Very interesting set of headphones.

It should be soon. Recently, some users have already received, so I think reviews will start appearing shortly.

How good is the isolation?

 

[AuneAudio]

Maybe it will be useful to burned them in...

This is a necessary process. That said, during development, we made every effort to ensure that users get good enough sound quality right out of the box. However, to truly reach its optimal state, I believe at least 60 hours are required.

If you're asking about the noise isolation effect, I personally find it quite good. It's similar to other headphones of the same size.

It’s about what you would expect from closed headphones. People sound muffled if they try to talk to you while wearing them with no music playing. If music is playing, you won’t hear your surroundings. The sound leak is pretty good, my wife said it was negligible when she was in a quiet room with me while I had music playing at a comfortable volume.

There’s a frequency chart applied as u are firm of. Could drop somewhat a target underneath , maybe -10 db df tilt to get a grasp on it

I decided to record a quick video describing my thoughts.

can I store the headphone with its cable in the case?

 

[donpablo]

@AuneAudio What are pads inner dimensions? Vertical and horizontal diameters and depth.

 

[UnderwaterB0i]

can I store the headphone with its cable in the case?

Yes, there's a spot in between the headphones with a cutout for the cable that has an elastic band to keep it in place.

I meant that the headphone have a plugged cable. Is that possible?

Are you asking if they can be stored in the case while the cable is attached to the headphones? No you can’t do that.

Okay, I will pass your feedback to our engineering team. I believe they will take your input seriously. Thank you for your suggestion.
