I have had a set for several months... cannot do the detailed analysis others have done. That said, I liked them enough to give my STAX to my daughter. Have no regrets...
Awesome which earpads are you using?I've tried Oratory Eq preset and need to tell that this small changes finally gave me "yes, now it's perfectly right" feeling.

I am using either my iPad or a RME ADI-2 Pro with mine they sound fine and loud enough for me with either.I gave a listen to pair at a friend's house. They sound nice, but the build needs to be improved and that cumbersome headband needs to get more compact.
The main issue is the 8 ohm impedance, which means driving it with a high output impedance amp will give you a very bad damping factor. The amp he had there (SONY TA-ZH1ES) could barely handle them, and I needed to crank up the volume to get it to a listenable level. And it also sounded kind of muddy with that amp. Once I switched to my portable Fiio X3 v2 (output impedance lower than 0.1) they sounded much better.
Saying that low impedance headphones is easy to drive is a misleading generalization. 8 ohms means the amplifier has to output ridiculous amounts of wattage, and if the output impedance is high it means it actually resists outputting that power. This basically approaches speaker's territory, and according to common speaker wisdom, lower impedance actually means harder to drive.
I think a better design choice would be to go for a more manageable 16 ohm, if possible. Oh, and the front facing cable connectors looks like they might break with the gentlest hit.
No one does afaikThose of you who bought the Verum recently, did you get a tracking number fo r the shipment?
Thanks @Veri My main complaint about dac measurements on ASR - you don't measure shape of different waves (sinewave and rectangular waves) on low level signals. If you do so you'll see that r2r dacs that measure poor will have much closer to input signal shapes on output in comparison to chifi like topping.
From digital source. PC for example.
woops. posted just too lateI prefer to discuss this in the topic made especially for this.
I am not sure what you mean by low level signals, R2R inevitably lose out most at lowest levels because of resistor inaccuracy and always have, but as a bloke who has been making recordings for over 50 years I am interested to know what level you are calling "low"?Thanks @Veri My main complaint about dac measurements on ASR - you don't measure shape of different waves (sinewave and rectangular waves) on low level signals.

Holo Audio don't agree with you
New member on this site and I liked the definition of verum so much I made it my handle.
I am very interested in these headphones, from what I have read these are a game changer for the price.
Will all orders placed now be the version 2 of the product, with the 3.5mm plugs, new headband, new perforated ear pads, new cable, new grill, etc?
Lastly I was looking at the site and it appears that wayforpay is used to process payments as I have never heard of them has any had any issues using their payment system?
