my parents often say you only have 2 ears, why need multiple headphones lol... still i keep on getting 1 after the other... now im aiming higher so that means i wont be getting gears as often and my parents also complain less now so its all good lol

wow lol, now a question for you guys, do your parents ever nag you about all the gears you buy? sorry for the derailment...

 
I moved to the other side of the country when I was 18 and don't keep in touch with my parents so they don't have an opportunity to nag. I think I'm at the end of my "audiophile" journey now, as I've experienced enough hyped products to finally feel some balance. Before there was this never ending hunger for better sound and now I've realized that it's probably not going to get much better than this. I'm content with my TG!334's and DX100, my Paradox and LCD-2's, O2 amp and HRT Music Streamer II DAC. I feel like I've wasted a lot of money to get to this stage but experience is the best teacher. I'm finally enjoying music like I wanted and not chasing the latest gear in the naive belief that it will blow my mind all over again.

I want to make sure that they are sounding the best they can with what I have in mind.

 
Sooo... Luis, can you tell us if this new one will be closed-back or open back??!?
 
Also, did you get to post the pics of the other "colors" for the Paradox?
(I haven't visited your store page in a while).
 
 
Thanks.

Hey guys, I feel old among you at 24

Just wanted to throw up some quick impressions from my audition.  First off, a big thank you to Flysweep for the opportunity to have a listen.  
 
Fit and comfort:  I found the Paradox to be very comfortable.  The headband and ear pads are very supple and the headphones were light and the weight did not fatigue me one bit.  A+ on comfort.  
 
Sound impressions were very positive for me.  I tend to get into a lot of the FOTM gear and do not get to listen to something like the Paradox very often.  The closet headphone I can compare it to was the T70P I owned.  The main difference was that the treble region on the Paradox was cleaner without the fatigue that the Beyers possess.  Treble reminded me of the RE272 which I find to this day one of the best I've heard.  Midrange was also something special on the Paradox.  Vocals sounded clean and very smooth.  The treble and midrange to me is simply fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing.  Bass also is very good but there wasn't enough for EDM and hip hop.  I felt that it hit in the lower octaves but it needed a little more quantity.  All other genres of music I tested worked very well with the bass.  Overall, this is a fine sounding headphone and in my book, it's a reference sounding headphone.  
 
Also, I found that the O2 and ODAC sounded best with what I have but everything else from DragonFly, DX100, Studio V 3rd, Audinst MX2 all drove it fine and sounded quite good.

I wonder if there's more bass on the paradox than on the stock t50rp, anyone knows?
