Eveeeeeentually got mine delivered. Long and hard wait for no. 5000 to reach South Africa.
Sooooo stoked with them! Busy putting an O2 amp together and have ordered a Topping NX2 for portable use, but so far have been listening on my Dell Precision M4800 (surprisingly strong sound card) and my Samsung S6. The S6 struggles a bit fidelity wise, but volume is more than enough for me on the top end. Would usually listen at about 75-80% on the Sung.
First thing that I noticed when I unboxed was that the filler foam ring that sits between the left pad and the driver was off centre. Right side was perfect. Took the pad off, centred the foam ring, and put the pad back on. Easy enough. Would check yours to see if they have the same problem - it's most likely going to have some sort of an effect on the sound stage and balance.
I assume this filler foam ring is part of the improved bass response? A suggestion for future productions would be to lightly glue this foam ring to the back of the pad in at least 2 places, to keep it centred. Going to try and listen without the rings once they're broken in and we'll see what happens. I would guessmore sub bass and bass movement and a little less control in the upper mids and trebles.
Have been listening for about 2 hours and still quite sibilant, but I guess things will soften up quite a lot. Going to be breaking them in over the next few days. Otherwise, very very promising. Starting to hear the production flaws in a lot of my favourite music already. Mixed emotions about that part...
Anyway, very stoked with these. Thanks to Massdrop and AKG!
