I am really digging the planar sound from my new HE4xx. I want another planar magnetic headphone for my office, needs to be closed type. Which closed planar would you choose?
Where can I find Aeon 2? I don’t see it on MrSpeakers website.Hi,
I have the HE400i, PM3 and Aeon closed.
Actually, what do you want in terms of fequency response, soundstage, etc ?
The Aeon closed and PM3 are more neutral. The PM3 has more bass and is more forward. The Aeon is generaly better than the Hifiman but lacks bass IMO.
Maybe you would want to have the Aeon 2, wich may sound open despite being closed.
Blue makes the Ella.
But everything depends of you tastes.
Please help us understand.
Ok, I guess I really like the sound of the HE4xx's and want something similar, but closed...
I already have the Beyer DT770s at work... I am noticing that annoying treble peak now
I’m using Tidal and it doesn’t have EQ...What are you using as a player? Does it have EQ? With something like USB Audio Player Pro + MorphIT plugin you could easily EQ the DT770 to the Harmon OE/AE target or make them sound similar to your HE-4XX.
They have changed their name to DanClarkAudio and released a brand new aeon2.Where can I find Aeon 2? I don’t see it on MrSpeakers website.

Just announced, maybe we have to wait the hype fades away and measurements be released.Where can I find Aeon 2? I don’t see it on MrSpeakers website.
At work it runs on my PC running windows 10.Tidal running on what?

Basically I’d like it to be comparable to the HE4xx. Same amount of bass or slightly more. Mids and highs comparable to HE4xx.Hi,

So i'd say, let's dig into these (in comparison to the Hifiman) :Basically I’d like it to be comparable to the HE4xx. Same amount of bass or slightly more. Mids and highs comparable to HE4xx.
So i'd say, let's dig into these (in comparison to the Hifiman) :
Oppo PM3 >> smoother but good highs, no soundstage
Audeze Sine >> I found it boring, but it's personal taste
Aeon 2 closed ? >> the version 1 lacks bass IMO
Blue Ella >> Aeon 2 copied on this one for the headband mechanism ! >> I did not find measurements but it's intended for studio so...
Master and dynamics MH40 >> I prefer the PM3
Monoprice M1060 closed ? >> opinions needed
Audeze LCD 2 classic closed ? >> opinions needed (personnaly I listened to 4 Audezes and did not like them....)
Here is another question : why do you need a closed back ?
I have some closed and open backs.
For outdoors there are 2 real choices for my personal taste : iem because it's really portable (maybe the Tin T4 would fit your sound taste !) or open back because it's safe and the open sound very pleasing to me outside.
If you want to block the outside, then better grab a Bose, Sony, or PSB.
I need closed back because I work in a cubicle office setup, can't have sound leaking out and also need to keep sounds from coming in.
I don't need ANC headphones (already got the Sony's)... closed back is good enough.
