Paradox / Slants headphone photos
« on: November 04, 2013, 03:54:40 AM »
Believe it or not, I had not actually seen the paint jobs on the custom Paradoxes until this recent Saturday at the San Diego meet.

Slightly new tuning to the Paradox (Slants). I really like them. Order them at http://referencesounds.com/

Slightly new tuning? Do you mean the slants? Or are the regular Paradox changed slightly as well?


I actually like the way these look better than the Alpha Dogs. The ADs look like they're trying to be TH-900s but less pretty.

The quality of the paint job of the custom Paradox is amazing. It's like Luis hired someone who was slightly autistic (and I mean this in a good way) and really into doing the paint properly. You should buy the pretty purple one with the skulls.

As far as new tuning, from what I could gather, more bass punch. At least compared to the older ones and the one I have at home.

Did you get a chance to try out the slants? If there really is a new revision of the paradox, I think I might be selling my older ones and either picking up the new one, or the slants for my bedside rig.

I hate talking/posting about my stuff but the ones he is talking about are the Slants. They have a slightly different tuning.

I spent some quality time with them Slants and they were IMO best closed can around. Better than most open cans too.

The purple skulls look even better in person. Compliment these with the music LFF carries around and jaws drop. Got to hear some instrumentals, Tool - 10,000 days, vocals, Star Wars, and the Indiana Jones theme :)p1 :)p1 :)p1 KICKS ASS!!!!!

I had an extended audition of the Slants before they had to be shipped back for the meet. Will be posting my thoughts, along with an interview I did with LFF via e-mail.

LFF, tell me I can get the skulls in some color other than purple?

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Any color you want - any design you want.  :)
