    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Really quick initial impressions... Airy, detailed without being fatiguing, bass is deep but not overpowering. I would definitely agree that they are a bit recessed in the mids. Or, it could be that they just don’t have that mid bass hump that I associate with forward mids. I need to get used...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    I’m glad someone else brought up that video. Around 10 seconds into the video, I realised it was some sort of wanky marketing video that makes zero sense to anyone actually interested into the headphones. I was expecting/hoping something like the MDR-Z1R video from Sony.

    Biggest Disappointment Headphone

    Snap! Focal Elear for me. Very unnatural sound. Didn't like them at all. Thought I was crazy for not liking them. Glad others don't like them either. They were touted as game changing!

    CanJam London 2017 (July 15-16, 2017)

    I have a ticket for sale for the Sunday with a demo of the HE-1 at 2:15pm if anyone wants to buy it? I stuffed up. I'm on holiday when the show is on. Whoops.

    The Official Sony MDR-Z1R Flagship Headphone Thread (Live From IFA 2016)

    I've done the coin hole mod, removed the rear spider and foam and added dampening. Lovely pair of headphones! Should have some impressions this evening.

    Mine have been delivered! Can't wait to get home and try them out. Will be using them with my iPhone tonight and my La Figaro OTL. Be interesting to see how the sound differs. I have a Dragonfly Red coming tomorrow. I will report back with my findings. I'll be comparing against my modded HD650.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Pretty similar to my experience with these at CanJam London. I found them to sound unnatural. I couldn't figure out why though. Was almost too dynamic. Midrange sounded odd. I would like to try them again so I can pinpoint what I didn't like about them. It was an odd listen.

    To be honest, I don't mind a little mid bass bump, but the HD650 can sound a bit too thick at times. Thanks.

    Hopefully I'll receive my Z1R soon enough (ordered through Amazon on the 5th). While I'm waiting I'm quite happy listening to my modded HD650 and La Figaro 332S OTL amp. I love the sound of this combo, but at times the mid bass can be too muffled/loose. Also at times I'd like some more clarity...

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    So, it's either the Jot or the Elise for me and my HD650. Anyone tried both and can comment on their sound signature?
