    Drop x HiFiMAN HE-5XX

    How does Dekoni manage to make almost anything worse? It's kind of amazing.

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    This is Oratory's measurement. I'm not sure which one you're looking at, maybe the bluetooth DSP.

    Technics EAH-T700 - An Impressive High-End 2-Way Headphone

    They completely screwed up that graph from what I remember back when I originally researched I cba to look back into it right now but I recall them having a goofy af rig. My source uses a GRAS rig.

    Technics EAH-T700 - An Impressive High-End 2-Way Headphone

    So I've had these for about a year now, got them for $400 USD overseas. The EAH-T700 is an exceptional piece. The cups and yokes carefully sculpted from solid blocks of aluminum into curves and edges meeting seamless joints that entice and invite the eye to the brushed outermost edges...

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    Creative Aurvana Live with more bass extension. They share a driver design. The tuning is weird though, low end hump, midbass valley. It's going to sound like other Harman tuned headphones aside from that quirk. Oh btw, the headband is very uncomfortable and way too small unless you have a very...

    Drop x HiFiMAN HE-5XX

    I don't think it was implied to be new, just effective. Nor do I think originality is a pertinent concern when modding headphones.

    Drop x HiFiMAN HE-5XX

    The bracket on the ear side has a large gap so the volume is not sealed and this already weakly driven diaphragm can not properly excurse. This mod makes the driver behave much better overall (along with some rear damping because the headphone literally has none).

    More to come guys and gals.

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    Just got here. Packaging, accessories, physical design are quite disappointing and a joke for the retail price. Headband padding is thin and the shape is such that only a small portion sits on a large to medium sized head only takes about half an hour for them to hurt. My head is maybe just...

    Technics EAH-T700

    No idea where you get the "smaller fit" idea from. These are large headphones. I have a large head and wear them with 0 extension on the headband. At full extension they are ridiculously huge and larger than the head of perhaps a handful of people in the world.

    1600. Guess I get to wait two more months. At least.

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    Rafe's "reviews" are useless. All of the other suggestions, including Jude, would be an improvement. It looks like they're going to target Jude so they can deal with what is probably the most prominent source of negative attention when you google Ora headphones: this thread. And given Jude's...

    Max Settings. Or crinacle but he's not really on YouTube. Anyone but Zeos.

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    This guy's write up reads like a copypasta of the marketing. I'm not reassured.

    Teac Reference Line UD-501 USB DAC "DSD"

    To anyone who has seen the inside, is there a jumper, switch or any unused portions that suggest input voltage could be changed?

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    The notion that someone is skeptical about a Kickstarter is therefore disqualified from making a useful review is utter garbage, frankly. "Everyone is entitled to their opinion!" Yeah, thanks chief. I hope he completely disregards you guys and reviews them anyway. Anyone else feel like...

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    I really don't trust Josh. I trusted Tyll, then metal571, now there's Max Settings and apparently crinacle is doing full size reviews now. Josh has shown that when something has a lot of money and cache involved he's not to be trusted. He recently got chewed out for Massdrop link shenanigans and...

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    My guy, that is a unmounted driver in free air just to show higher sensitivity than mylar. It's not the response of anything in a headphone.

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    I'm happy to be done talking about premium materials I can buy in a tub at Home Depot. Especially since it has nothing to do with how these sound.

    ORA GrapheneQ - The world's first Graphene driver headphone

    Your concern about how the the headphone is perceived seems to overrule what anyone in this thread says.
