This all sounds very normal, not just with the Clear but all the Focals. The 'metallic sheen' is a trait of the metallic drivers. Much less...
Exactly the situation I was in. Now can MD please drop more Elex pads - I need a spare pair for when this material disintegrates.
Very much looking forward to this comparison.
I’m sure you know this already but that’s called sibilance, and it’s my #1 no-no on any headphone. I own the Elex (well, Elear with Elex pads,...
This is all fair comment. I can see how what I wrote comes across as flippant and underdeveloped. In my head I had all the reasons for my...
If you want smoothness and detail combined with an exceptional amp for less than the cost of the Cyan, consider the Audio-gd R-28. I use mine with...
It’s actually the Elex that is all-Black. The Elear is two-time black and Aluminium, and is to me the better looking of the two. In fact I think...
I’m sure they’ll drop again, at least I hope so! I think after the positive reviews from Elear owners and their ‘reborn’ headphones the next batch...
I second R2R. I use the Elex with an Audio-gd R-28 and it’s astonishing. I know AGD isn’t really liked in these parts, but the R-28 is top-notch,...
I second @Whatup69’s impressions. I ‘upgraded’ my Elear to an Elex with genuine Elex pads, and haven’t taken them off since. The change in FR...
Never a wiser word spoken. I can understand why newcomers to the hobby work their way up through headphone tiers (and even a few higher end cans)...
Probably a silly question to interject into this conversation, but why all the rage against ‘overpriced’ headphones when the amps and dacs people...
I love that track (and album). Never had any driver issues with any of the tracks, title track included. And that’s one album I like to push...
Fair enough, although I’d say there’s quite a bit of sample variation - and also different amp variations - because my Elear doesn’t come anywhere...
Out of curiosity, has anyone run these tests on the Utopia? We now know Elear/Elex/Clear have this ‘issue’ but what about the big boys?
