I feel the pain. Used to work in manufacturing engineering at a car manufacturing plant and now deliver custom cranes to nuclear power plants. Fun stuff - and nothing ever goes the way it's planned...

I just noticed I had a carry case for Audeze Penrose lying around, and figured I’d try it out with IO-12. While it’s definitely chunkier, it still fits into my backbag much better, and is easier to put in and take out of there than the IO-12’s own case.

Prepare yourself to be ready at the exact moment they come on sale, they go out in seconds. Managed to get one last year and it wasn’t easy.

Elma and Elvi wish Merry Christmas for everyone!

Tempting, but I’ll wait and see what kind of bonuses I’m getting paid at some point in the spring. Then I might reward myself with something extra nice. :thinking:

Here I go waking up at 4 am to take part in the giveaway again. :zzz:

Got my IO-12 last week and can also share some initial impressions. For my use case, I bought the IO-12 as a high-end wireless headphone for work and travel to replace my Sony WH-1000XM5. Not planning on using them via USB-cable or passive mode. Important to me is that they sound good when I...

+1. I also prefer AC over VC with metal. I think VC is technically a ”better” headphone, but I prefer AC’s sound signature. After years and years of listening to more traditional ”hifi” music, it’s been fun getting back to the roots and listening to proper metal.

My IO-12 has been shipped also, expecting to get them next week.

Fast payment, good and friendly communication, overall very positive experience. Highly recommended!

On one hand, a bummer. On the other, you just saved me a tidy sum of money. Here’s hoping Mjolnir 3 will make a return in 230V at some point in the future. Meanwhile, Ragnarok OG will continue it’s service. And here’s Elma and Elvi soaking in the disappointment.

Thanks. To my ears Universe hybrid sounds like it would sit somewhere between Auteur lambskin and Universe lambskin earpads, so little bit like a mix of the two. Not as bombastic as Universe lambskin, but still retains those fun charasteristics.

I think their brewery is near a university campus there. My wife did her Master’s at TUM and said that there was atleast some type of Weihenstephaner brewery near the school.

1,8€/L here for gasoline. Looking forward to getting my EV in April.
