      Too bad Hedd swiped the "flagship quality way below flagship price." It should be applied to the Borealis.

        Hedd is hype flagship,build quality and materials are not, sound is almost there but not quite.

      One of the quotes on the HEDDphone's page says it's flagship quality way below flagship price. But it's $1900.

        For IEM pricing the argument makes more sense since not that long ago the most expensive IEMs you could buy were well below the $1,000 mark, and now $2,000 is kind of normal as far as MSRP goes. But big cans? The best of the best has always come with big price tags.

        ^Its not that its a high price. Its that at that price they are not calling it a flagship product/way below flagship price. My personal interpretation of flagship price is >1500 usd (which will have to change soon because some manufacturers are just increasing the price of their flagship rather than lowering the cost of the previous flagship and replacing it).

        On the other end of the argument there’s the Sony MDR-R10, which was cancelled and never given a successor.

      Good ol' UPS. They got my headphones at three in the morning, but I still can't pick them up until tomorrow.

      Hey might be interested in both your headphones for sale. The Lcd 2 for sure. Do you have all the boxes and the stuff these came with?

        A gentleman who couldn't get into the group buy on the NH discord wanted to buy mine as I mentioned, after hearing the nos filter, that I wanted to explore that a bit. Then it snowballed into me realizing I could look for a used Yggdrasil for a bit. If that didn't turn up anything, id just get the Spring DAC lvl 2.
