    This headphone is in mint condition and comes with both earpads and the pelican case and stock cables. But I modded it slightly. In stock form, it had 2 issues I heard. Congestion in busy passages and a plastic tone in the treble. I applied some resonance absorption to the front baffle around the driver, and filled up some space around the back of the driver with resonance absorption. This really fixed the congestion, but there’s still this plastic tone. But it’s much less than Hifimans. And the midrange is absolutely glorious. Fast, open, very resolving.

    Throwing the mods in for free.

    Yeah. And an AMT headphone.

    It’s a really good headphone for the price.

    Huh, so they have a big planar, a ribbon, an AMT, two budget planars, and a planar iem. Interesting lineup.

    2 ortho iems. The GL12 and GL10. Though the latter isn’t on Linsoul and fits weird but sounds great.

    Are these the double magnet version? I heard there were a couple versions. And how's the synergy with the Studio B?

    These are the double magnet version. I don't know about the Studio B as I don't own own, but I imagine its very good.

    Someone asked for a comparison to the HE6.

    The HE6 has better treble timbre with more air up top, and with mods, it has more controlled bass. But these walk all over the HE6 in the midrange. That's where they really shine. They're magical for anything acoustic like solo piano, vocals, solo guitar, classical, etc. The only issue I have is a slight plastic timbre in the treble, but it's much less than the cheap Hifiman's. Much much much less than the Edition X.

    They're also very comfortable because they're light, have good headband cushioning and they're quite large, almost HD800 large (but not quite), so they fit very easy on the head.
