Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015
Alright, time to update my impressions on the closed back el-8... I originally gave a glowing review using both an iPad and iPhone 6 as the only source. My only gripe was a lack of bass extension in the lowest octave. Well, I found the bass. I recently purchased the schiit modi/magni 2 uber...- WeiFi

Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015
Ah. Yes. For closed backs the market for high end is a tad more limited. This is precisely why I went with the el-8. I know many in the community love mr speakers closed back, offerings, although I've never heard them personally. Those seem to hit right around a similar price point. At the same...- WeiFi

Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015
I think you can definitely achieve the sound you want with a little eq or the right amp pairing, but I definitely would recommend a listen before buying. Pairings can be tricky things to nail, but a good ad should let you try things out. You may want to give the hifiman he-560s a listen too...I...- WeiFi

Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015
I have some experience with both of these. I'll start by saying that both of them are awesome headphones and you can't go wrong either way. Sound wise, I think the hifiman he-400i has a more fun (but colored) sound. Definitely more bass response and energy at the lowest octave. The el-8 is more...- WeiFi

Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015
If EDM makes up that much of your listening time, I worry you may be underwhelmed with the bass response of the el-8. Definitely have a listen and judge for yourself, but as much as I'm loving the El-8 p, I'd have a hard time recommending it to heavy edm and hip-hop bass heads. I find the el-8...- WeiFi

Hmm...maybe that's just to the dealers? I placed my order last Saturday, and had the El-8s in my hands Thursday morning.- WeiFi

I've been wondering this myself. Happy coincidence!? Either way, I'm elated with my EL-8 closed back purchase!- WeiFi

I bought directly from Audeze :) I know I should always have a listen first, but it was risk worth taking (and one that paid off!)- WeiFi

Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015
First off, I just want to thanksthe head fi community here. I'm a long time lurker who has benefited greatly from this community's knowledge, research, and insight. After much deliberation, I took the plunge and ordered the EL-8 closed back. I know several on this thread have been dying to...- WeiFi
