Haha. Cheerswhat is it that a shop could say without sounding like a shill? I will offer a “sold unit” comparison on cans between $700 USD & $1000 USD. Since the release of the A2O & A2C, those 2 models are about 10% of that price range of cans in our sales. We’ve had 1 return from a user that made a different selection. Zero defective units 1 faulty cable. These are actually statistics that say they are both popular choices and with very little issues. My opinion is I find both highly competitive in sound quality by comparison to that price range and when compared to their predecessors, definitely an improvement in most ways, particularly in the mid detail and bass presentation. Best I can offer you!
My concern is this
- I bought AC1 for 1100 AUD when it came out. Mostly liked it, but found it bit boring.
- They sell for $700 AUD now. More in line where I think it should sit.
- AC2 is $1500 AUD
- Does it deserve to be at $1500, or will I feel like it should be $1000 or so
I don't know!
At $1500 here, it competes with new Z1R, Fostex TH900 MK2 demo, new Focal Clear, Ether 2 Demos, etc. Serious cans
