  • Ember added
  • No to X2 - I don't care for it. OK tuning, but more toward consumer-fi.
  • Wait on 400S

I thought the X2 was ok. I recommend it to people who want full sized open backed consumer-ish sound but don't want to invest in amping.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Would like to hear it again but definitely concur.

Let's have a retired segment, kinda like vintage/OOP.

I'd have to hear both. Any reason to replace the LG? Kinda different things. One is designed as set it and forget it, the other isn't.

I really like the updates to the original list--especially agree about the HE6, UERM, Gamma2, and Berkeley feedback given that those are the gear I'm most familiar with :) I don't know about the 009 and smooth treble but that thing gives me a headache. The vintage sections is neat, too--FWIW, I heard there were two sets of drivers for the 007MK1s based on the S/N.

Did the LCD3 not make the list due to inconsistent production? I've heard some meh LCD3s but one or two that sounded really good. It does seem sensitive to amping, though less so than the Hifiman headphones.

Any reason the GoV2 cannot replace to GO 450?

If the V2 in question doesn't have 450mw output. That's the best technical sounding Geek output level with IEMs IME.

So the 100mw setting is shit?
