I've bought them for thr cable.

meta sold like hit cakes, crazy

thats just a poor 3D model. I doubt amazon gets accurate 3D data of the headphone. Who knows where they sourced that inaccurate 3D model. Maybe some 3D stock platform.

planars rely on a strong front volume seal. Especially the DCA headphones. Maybe that's an issue for you?

yeah maybe time exclusive

Hopefully pricing stays reasonable

I have them. I love them for the comfort and the nice metal shell. But boy do they have a lot of treble. For my taste too much for 70% of the music I listen to. Treble is their most prominent feature. So, I don't use them much (even with EQ.)

I have the HD800 about 12years now. Using them with EQ from the start (refined over the years) Nothing could replace them for me and I've tried many things. The comfort and build also plays a big part. So yeah I doubt a closed back could ever replace it but it might be a good complement.

thats true, I still enjoy that side of the hobby.

whenever I cycle through my IEM collection with much much more expensive IEMs I'm angry at how good the zero:2 are. Ruining the hobby for me, lol I can recommend spinfit w1 tips for a good fit.

moondrop rehashing their single DD design with the same shell design (which got issues) yet another time.

JH audio has filed for bankruptcy and it's a rather old model afaik. Not sure harman was a thing at the time of release.

focal bathys

thats really puzzeling. Obviously much effort went into the physical design. How on earth can they mess up the actual sound reproduction so much. Who signed this off? Unbelievable

it reminds me of the useless graph of the HD800 that you could ask for after purchase. Looks like it's a grell thing.
