Yeah, it's tiny. I think the 7th flight is going to happen!

Ouch. I've had flights fall through many times before... sometimes 2 or 3 in a row... but never 6. Hope it worked out sooner than later.

I got stuck in Cleveland once for 2 days…flight attendants went on strike. Airlines suck.

If you have enough coffee you can see the music too!

Still haven't heard better synergy with the Utopias. With some tube rolling it can really be a hard to beat pairing. The impedance matchup is perfect, takes off the metallic edge and ups the sub-bass a bit. Try Stellia pads for a near-basshead presentation.

I've swapped to some Dekoni hybrid pads, which are not fenestrated, and this bass is nuts. How is this possible with a 40mm driver? It's not bloated, distorting or overbearing either.

Funny - I was listening to my iSine10 balanced out of Pono last night while chilling to Cory Weeds. Very calming to my soul.

Either of you have trouble keeping them on? My ears are too small, they keep falling off. The sound keeps me coming back.

I use the over-ear hooks and they are stable while I'm walking. But I did have to fiddle with the angle/# degrees of rotation of ear-hook where it clips onto iem, as this impacted how they fit/stability. The fit is definitely a bit fiddly to get stable. Hope you find a good method.

@Gaspasser think I should wait for the new Unison card to be released first?

Audio..usually a cheaper hobby than hookers and blow.

@crazychile that is the exact justification I tell my wife ;)
Seriously

It is however up each person to understand what some measurements mean, and up to what point their results make an impact or not.

HiFiDog says, "Sheesh, the way these humans go on about their ears! Truth is they can hardly hear at all."

I used to read that often. But Zoloft cured me!

cause i'm the miggity miggity mack daddy

Gonna stick with the suede pads.

Please, nobody mention that sheep-with-windows thing!

Impressions please! I actually got to try these (or the 20) a while back and was pretty impressed. Been a while though, would be interested in hearing others' thoughts on them.

@dubharmonic you know the new Unison USB is on the horizon right? Not sure how soon we’ll see it, but last update from Mike it seemed like they might be getting close...don’t quote me on that though, could be next year the way things sometimes go with them...

@rlow thanks for mentioning that, I'd forgotten about it! Maybe I'll wait after all and keep chugging along with the Eitr.

While the A2 upgrade is surely a good one, the diff between Eitr and Gen 5 USB is minimal. In fact, I generally preferred Eitr over Gen 5 in many cases, but they’re pretty darn close.

My Father’s Day gift was a set of Etymotic earplugs. Much needed with 3 year old twin boys.

You too! My 5 year old bought me a trophy that says "World's Greatest Dad Bod" and he sharpied out the last word.

Agreed. I've found a sweet spot with it using Ragnarok in low-gain mode. Tempers the aggressiveness present in mid-gain and makes it way more enjoyable.

What are you powering them with?

The only headphones I yearn to listen on my setup.

@Taverius I sure hope so, I've spent all of those 18 years curating a library. Not sure what I'd do if I were forced to switch. @Ringingears what do you use now?

@dunharmonic I have been using Foobar2000 for many years. Reliable. Works well with the Gungnir MB and my laptop.

I'm glad I never used iTunes.
