It's okay; I can ask them myself if you're not comfortable w/posting them.

We're good.

D5 measurements.png

Bottom half is slightly cut off but it's not hard to figure out what that portion of the scale is. That last baby peak is at 7k.

LEAR, which has pretty much been "meh" with their hits and misses and trying some different stuff, working the more is better angle to get people to shell out a grand on a dynamic powered earphone. So, for whatever reason we need 5 dynamics :rolling_eyes:. Anyhoo, we have known for a while but saw it today as released on E-earphone so I'll mention it in case anyone is interested.

Penon has bgvp dmg on stock in aliexpress atm


Penon has them on their site as of this morning as well. Mean while vendor on amazon has still not shipped my DMGs. Lovely. Look forward to hearing theses and I will most certainly compare them to the FH5. If they are on a similar level in SQ that will most certainly set the bar at this price range.

Pictures at Aliexpress sellers show a different cable.
Silver cables are the ones WITHOUT mics, whereas the Black cables comes with in-line mics.

Woww, the last "LEAR" I remember was the Lear-jet 8 Track player in my friends Ford Mustang... Remember listening to "Highway Star" / Deep Purple, and Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babbies" "Schools Out" "No More Mr. Nice Guy"... The good old days...

Some images of the DMG so you can clearly see what you get. I find it neat that the plastic housings for the drivers inside are colored coded.

Edit: @jant71 I'll post some sound impressions when I get the chance to sit down for a good listen. B400 will be compared to the Delphinus 5 in the review. I personally consider the D5 a near direct upgrade. Signature is similar minus the B400 being slightly warmer and bassier but with less extension, and the D5 having a bit more treble energy. Very neutral sounding earphone to my ears, supported by the measurements Astrotec provided.

Have you reviewed the Delphinus 5? I miss it ,
Please share the link of D5's review , thanks .

I noticed this as well. I wonder what I'm going to receive when I finally get mine. He also got like 10 different pairs of tips with his package, but yet the official specs say 3 pairs of silicone and 1 pair of foam tips. Who knows, but I guess I'll find out soon enough, hopefully.

Blue is indeed nice. Now we just need to see the red DMG in real life :)

Anyone interested in these... https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/c4d0e2fba2520405/index.html

  • Multi-layer Air Damping Technology, comprised of a layered housing and triple-vent system, reduces unwanted vibration and controls the airflow for superior audio clarity
  • Stainless steel acoustic mesh resistor provides improved high-frequency response, while bass acoustic resistor delivers accurate low-frequency response
  • Lightweight design and optimized lateral pressure provide long time wearing comfort
  • Aluminum housing structure reduces unwanted vibration

  • Straight Y-type cable style for ideal balanced connection (Two detachable 1.2 m (3.5') straight Y-type cables with A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connectors at the headphones: one with a 4.4 mm 5-pole balanced mini-plug, the other with a 3.5 mm 3-pole stereo mini-plug)
Dynamic Driver Diameter 45 mm
Frequency Response 5-50,000 Hz
Sensitivity 101 dB/mW

Cable Detachable 1.2 m (3.5') cable (3.5 mm 3-pole stereo mini-plug to A2DC); detachable 1.2 m (3.5') cable (4.4 mm 5-pole balanced mini-plug to A2DC)


So we have improved looks, they are 53 grams lighter, sound is upgraded(now DLC diaphragms), and 4.4 mm balance cable is included.

I see what you did there AT... https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/f57779f2cfe36a17/index.html
They took the old MSR7 and made it into this SR50.
