Wow, there's just no end to the flagships being released these days. Anyone else feeling rather poor these days?  :giggle:

Great review as per your usual high standards, and really nice photography as well. As a "gateway drug", how would these compare to another highly regarded pair such as the Sennheiser hd560S, which also comes in at under R4k? Was actually considering a pair for wifey, as they may be a bit...

If it's done the rounds, then I suspect I may have that very same Matrix M-Stage amp sitting on my desk right now lol.

Red stitching is a bit much, but otherwise I really dig the aesthetics with that carbon look. Technical details seem really impressive too. That price though...$$$

My headfirst journey started sometime in 2003 when I bought my first iPod. That was an eye opener into how nice music could sound, despite the fact that most of my music was probably low quality mp3's at the time. That got me through tech and my first few years of work. But I never really...

As an iPhone user with a CCK (camera adapter), getting Apple lossless to play through my system shouldn't be too problematic, and that price is really hard to beat (can't believe I'm saying that about something Apple-related Lol). The only thing stopping me is that I don't feel like going...

Thanks for the response. Will definitely touch base with you when the time comes  :thumbs:

Thank you sir for your efforts. Reading the above, it's clear that you have gone the extra mile here to "test the waters" so as to give new and existing Audeze owners some comfort in terms of ownership of this awesome brand of headphones. Do Arbalest also offer the replacement parts for the...

Wow first the LCD-R and now an E-stat. Audeze are on a roll

Those new pads are really shiny. I read somewhere that the new thinner pads have the effect of reducing the upper mid dip on the LCD-X, so I would assume that the effect on the LCD2 would be similar. Was this your experience of the change compared to your previous drivers and pads? I noticed...

Would love to hear the hd8xx at some point, as that lack of bass really took away from my enjoyment of the original HD800's, despite the many strengths of the headset (comfort, soundstage, imaging etc.). EQ didn't seem to help much either strangely. With the warmer tilt to the (Mass)Drop version...

I've had the same issue for the past few days, incredibly frustrating. It's definitely an issue with the PC app, because if I log in via the browser it's hassle-free. Similarly, streaming from my iOS app on my phone is painless. Will try the advice above this evening when I'm at home again to...

Nice, congrats! Are they based on the classic or the normal lcd2? If there are fazors its probably based on the normal lcd2. Looks really good, happy listening!

Looks good But you forgot to mention another added benefit: It's not a lint magnet anymore lol. Had a pair of X2's a while ago, and I distinctly remember having to use a lint roller regularly to keep it clean hehe

My wife has zero interest in Audio and is happy watching soapies on her phone using el cheapo sony xbasssssss headphones. Thankfully, she doesn't really demand any bribes although I do feel the need to spoil her and the kids whenever I make an acquisition if only to ease my own guilty...

I purchased a 2.5mm to XLR balanced adapter on Amazon a few months ago. Was faulty on arrival, and Amazon paid for the return costs and refunded me in full. Was pleasantly surprised. I still use Takealot for books and things for the kids. The turnaround times just can't be beat as far as...

Thanks for the detailed response, interesting read and much appreciated. A meet and greet sounds great, will definitely be something to look forward to when the time comes.

Hi gLer , out of curiosity what are you finding in high end iems that you aren't getting from headphones? Is it a matter of technicalities or simply comfort (and maybe convenience?)

Sweet, I'm there! Would also be really keen on demoing a pair of Aryas if possible as well (hint hint) lol

Wow it's really exciting to see that the head-fi scene is getting local availability of these type of epic cans. Now we just need a similar Brick and mortar store in Capetown and I'd be over the moon. 718g does sound like a big ask though, although it does come down to the weight distribution...
