    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    Yeah, I just want to know if *other* dealers might be sending them out early, since I already have an order in elsewhere. Not doubting that people have started to receive them.

    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    Also @ericpalonen , hearing some have started to receive them ... was the June date conservative? Are some dealers getting them sooner? Would be very exciting if so!

    Audeze - Our Maxwell Gaming Headsets! (latest: Firmware v61 and HQ v97)

    Very detailed breakdown, @Mad Lust Envy ! I never would have thought to select home theater when there's no Atmos option, though it makes sense when I think about it that Atmos would want the multi channel info to convert that to Atmos. Really hoping a good standard/best practices gets...

    High-Purity Headphone Cable LL-4.4A Is Officially Released!

    I want a shorter one! Jk. 1.5m is pretty perfect for me.

    AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE

    I think Evshrug mentioned something in his review as well, about the sound changing noticeably depending on how you position the ear cups and how the headband rests on your head. I've seen similar statements about Hifiman headphones and getting a larger soundstage by changing the positioning. I...

    AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE

    Perception of soundstage is very personal. I'd absolutely expect some people to find the Arya's soundstage larger, and others to find the OAE1 larger. It's not some objective thing that's going to be consistent across the board and across different heads. Resolve posted brief impressions on the...

    AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE

    The point isn't that any headphone can be great/to an individual's taste with the right pads, but that certain headphones have the potential to be great but were held back by the pad choice. But in the case of the Elex ... that headphone is literally an Elear with different pads and minor...

    How'd you manage to hear that? Haha Have you heard the Elex? Was interested in the new Focal headphones but from what I've heard so far it seems like it's not a straightforward upgrade over the Elex.

    Worth noting that all of those headphones except the Grado's are planars, which tend to be low impedance. BUT I'm also not one who thinks the sound quality of a headphone is going to be determined by the impedance. There are so many different factors that go into the design, thinking impedance...

    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    @TheFritz Excellent, detailed breakdown! Thank you for that. I'm very excited to get the 620s. It may be heresy around these parts but I have to admit I've never been much of a fan of suede pads 😱 Shocking, I know. Leather/artificial leather has its drawbacks, but I'm generally more drawn...

    Makes sense, since the FR graph was captured at 90 db. Thanks, Jude!

    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    Unfair to ask you to compare them to the E3, but overall your impressions were fairly positive? I've pre-ordered the 620s as a work and "summer" headphone (open windows and fans when it's not too hot, noisy window ACs when it is). Hoping to get a really nice sound with good isolation for a fair...

    If you demoed them at this year's NY CanJam that should be the final tuning by all accounts. I believe @Evshrug 's review unit was the same unit at CanJam ...

    Well, to be fair, it takes time for wood to get hard.

    AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE

    End of June. I'm hoping they'll have the whole batch in the warehouse and will get them all out fairly quickly but we will see. Plenty of people will post in this thread when they start showing up in the mail, I'm sure.
