Enough about the dac, how's the earphones sound?

 

[Gilly87]

Good! I think they're competitive at the $200 price point; I think of them as a more fun version of the GR07. They are mildly v-shaped but the mids are not compromised even a tiny bit; they are a little warm, but the separation is great. I'd say it's like what you'd get if you made GR07 and the SE215 have a baby and give it really awesome instrument separation. Kinda like a slightly less high-rez Senn IE800, I guess.

If this is a comment on my view of Audeze headphones or my credibility due to my opinion of their sound, I wasn't including the LE-8 in the original comparison, BECAUSE I HADN'T HEARD THEM YET! CES was just last week dude!!!! I still stand by the statement that the LCD-2 and LCD-3 are more neutral and not really my style, and they DO need serious components to take them to their full potential; part of why it's so impressive that the Echobox at least makes them sound good (obviously not as good as rigs costing thousands, but if the people at the Audeze booth thought the sound was good, well, you do the math). If you read through the thread on the EL-8s you will see me say exactly the same thing about my opinion of the LCD series!
 
Looks like this is shaping up to be a witch hunt, eh? Well...
 
Bring it on!

Offer is still on the table - Anyone in the SoCal area within reasonable driving distance of LA is welcome to PM me to set up a demo!

As someone who works in the same building as a few hundred sales reps and knows exactly how far they'll go to make a sale, I can't give the same benefit of the doubt.  Like I said, you're welcome to your interpretation.  I see another skeezy sales guy trying to backpedal when he got caught in a lie.  

Jeez....DUDE!, you really see the best in folk eh?
 
Personally I see a guy who's trying to whip up some enthusiasm about a product which MAY turn out to be awesome ( that's what we want right? ), and just wasn't 'pitch perfect' in his communications here.
I see honesty in his admission of hyperbole.

 

[Gilly87]

@wijnands Yes we will definitely going to be giving out units for demo, but not just yet. We're going to wait to a little closer to launch time, probably around Canjam time, but there will absolutely be reviewers from Head-Fi and other publications we are all familiar with getting demo units for review.
 
We'll start shipping samples of the earphones around the end of January

Interesting. Didn't know that. Would be nice if they came to my country as well.
 
@Gilly87 are you guys going to do a mail around of a few pre-production units? Seemed to have worked well for Fiio

 

[Gilly87]

Thanks Q, I appreciate that

My main concern with these is the treble, I would hate it if these lack treble.

 

[Gilly87]

They definitely don't. The less-informed-in-audio-matters who visited our booth actually commented that the treble was very clear (too prominent for some); the initiated seemed to like them quite a bit I didn't hear a negative comment from anyone who was familiar with higher end audio gear. I would say they have a mild v-shape, slightly elevated bass and treble, but they definitely don't sacrifice any mids, due to the great separation.

I noticed that the plug on these is not a right angle plug, which it should be since this is a portable iem. Maybe this shouldn't be much of a complaint, but the cables on these are not detachable which starts to be necessary for a iem of this price. Do you think that change can be made before the end of the month, or is it to late for any further changes like that? Other than that its great to hear that these will have a good balanced sq rather than a bass bloated one like many dynamic in ears have.
