Just acquired a pair of these. There is a surprising amount of detail packed in their sound. Question I have is what are you guys using to power these? I've kinda been in and out of the hobby over the years and my "favorite" amp is a tube amp and Im not sure the output impedance is a great...

Anybody messed with some EQ for the old LCD2 rev 2 pre fazor? I believe they are the ones that the LCD2 classic was possibly modeled after?

Any plans to get a remote going with the Ragnarok?

Was looking at these but I have question. They look like TRS plugs. Dont the elears need the mono plugs instead? I wonder if these will still work? I hope so. Please let us know how they work out. Cheers

I tried the dekoni's and the brainwavz. With and without the ring. Loved the comfort. But in the end the stock pads just sounded right. So I went back to stock.

Thanks for the links everyone. I have the same issue with the Massdrop Fostex X00's. Great headphones with a ridiculous, unnecessarily heavy, unwieldy cable. WHY!?!?

Yes please let us know. Is there a slightly longer version of that cable? say 8ft?

I'd be interested in just a decent replacement cable. Nothing fancy or expensive. Just something so I don't have to deal with the ridiculously heavy and long stock cable. I do really love how dynamic and punchy they are. Pretty fun to listen to.

Oh yeah i forgot about the free stand! That thing showed up out of nowhere on labor day. I think I read that some places are even making people trade in cans to get the sale price.

Just got mine today. They're def interesting headphones and sound quite good. Its always fun hearing the different notes and instruments presented in a more or less forward way. Just part of the new headphone experience i guess. Havent gotten much head time yet but i can say one thing for...

I agree. I need to try this with some different materials. The rings with the dekoni sheepskins turned them into a boomy bassy mess

Nice review of the different pads. I LOVE the comfort of the sheepskins. Unfortunately I like the sound with stock pads better. With or without the rings. With rings is too bassy, without is a hair too hot and just kind of unbalanced. I may have to lookout for the fenestrated pads next time...

Got the dekoni sheepskin pads from the latest massdrop. With the attenuator rings. it seems like now they are tooo bassy for my liking.

The more my ears adjust to these the more i'm liking them.  I hadn't really listened to any headphones besides my LCD2's for the last 3 years so initially i was wondering where the midrange went and that they seemed a little sibilant.  But after a couple days I'm starting to really appreciate...

OMG those satin purple hearts! Amazing

Its taking my ears some time to adjust to them.  Been using lcd2's for the past 3 years.  Less mids more trebble.  These do however show up my dt770 pros by a good bit

Thats awesome.  Yours are a little lighter than mine.  Got mine yesterday.  They sound pretty damn good.  My only complaint is the cable.  Its just bad.  Id rather have cheap flexible rubber covered cable than this unweildy thing.   Also agree on the packaging.     But they make great sound...

Thanks for all the links! Will def find the  right one for my needs with the choices given.   I now see what all the talk about recabling and adding removable cables is all about. The cable on these headphones is the biggest (and only) con i have.

Any of you have a 1/4 inch to 3.5 adapter?  The one they sent from monoprice doesn't work.  I know that doesn't seem possible but it doesn't stay in my phones hp jack like every other 3.5 mm plug does.  Bonus points if it has a bit of wire length to it.

Initial impressions:  Fun! 

so torn between the ebony's and the purplehearts.  uuggghhh

In making the switch from LCD2's to a pair of Elears, What will be the first few differences i notice?

Nice review Max.  Thanks for putting it together.  Now I think i need a Rag for my office setup since i have Studio 20 v4s in there with my headphone rig.  Would simply remove 1 piece of gear from the equation!

man i haven't stumbled into these parts in a while.  I  see this is still the best thread around.  You guys have some beautiful gear. My WA6SE with the stepped attenuator clicks a bit when changing the volume.  Is that bad?

i noticed most were talked about with USB. is this meaning the USB input is better than the coax/spdif?
