You found it bassy..? What source are you using, if I may ask?

Yes, so far I'm not getting the same kick I got from the originals. They also sound a bit harsh and bass is not really there yet. I hope it improves over time, so far I've got close to 12 hours on them.

Got my Xelento Remote Gen 2 today. Had the first version some years back, ended up selling it because even though it sounded positively magical in some tracks, in others the bass made the songs a bit too aggressive. Bought the Meze Rai Penta afterwards, hated it. Sounded sterile and made music...

Ok, thanks for the input. Any legit and compatible battery for it available out there?

Anyone knows a store in Europe with the Beyerdynamic Xelento 2nd gen on sale? That or a Beyerdynamic voucher code..

Anyone knows if this battery is legit, and will work with the Calyx M? https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005005070713222.html?spm=a2g0n.shopcart.0.0.62597f06o3ib85&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

The Xelento are v-shaped... The FW10K have a very balanced sound signature.

I'm sorry but I never had that experience. Balanced, unbalanced, on DAP, on DAC, stock cable, other cables... they never sounded "bass light" to me, ever. I agree that, for my taste, they sound their best with a warmer source but "bass light" is something I wouldn't say about these.

Again, it isn't bass light.

It really isn't...

Totally agree, HP-3 are super smooth and I also don't think they require EQ. The HP-3 are unbelievably lush. To be honest, when I got them with my previous dac/amp, the Fostex HP-A3, I thought the bass was bloaty and I had to EQ them. When I got the Teac dac/amp, they were just perfect, bass...

47% of reviews are either one star or two stars...

I got the UD-505, very happy with it. Now I'm gonna pair it with a Rega Io for speakers.

That was my point, I didn't mean to come across as saying they are not worth the price. They just weren't promoted in a way that would generate enough interest for that price point to be competitive with other big brand offerings. 849€ and free shipping, brand new. And I even ended up getting...

I think they priced it too aggressively at first, that scared many buyers away. I bought my pair for ~850€ but I still see them listed in many places for ~1200€.

Hi everyone, So I'm looking for a 2.0 or 2.1 speaker system to put in my bedroom (DAC used will be a Teac UD-505) but I have a few requirements: Mandatory: - Must be available on Amazon.es (I have a gift voucher to redeem there); - Price must not go above 300€ (350€ if it's really a very big...

They should have gone with a new version of the Calyx M, not this.

Again QC issues... with two units. Really discouraging.

All of these QC issues are not a good sign. It's really sad, since soundwise everyone seems to give these a really good feedback.

The Xelento outer shells are not made of metal, as far as I'm aware.

Check out the Quad Era 1, a lot of people describe them precisely like that: musical.

You spent around ~1200€ on DAC + Amp and now your budget for the headphones is 600€...? I think you got your priorities wrong, mate.

@voja It's regarding the video "review" on page 5 (post #72).

Come on, don't tell me you weren't convinced by his "quality, quality, so much quality, quality, omg this quality, quality, quality and by the way the headband is so bad they will fall down your face unless you mod them, quality, quality, wow quality" "review". :grin:

Come on, someone that has decent gear to test them needs to get them so you can tell the rest of us how they really sound... #takeonefortheteamboys
