Same here. The credit card processing wouldn’t go through so I used Amazon. Monoprice haven’t processed my Amazon payment yet.

Just went through. Woot woot 👋😎

If I can wear a 600g VR headset, with a 300g battery pack on the back, for a couple of hours, whipping my head here and there the whole time, then a 600g headphone while sitting still should be fine.

Weight distribution and surface area contact is key. Are the headbands on these headphones just that bad or what?

Shame we don't have measurements on them, open backs are already picky on pads but closed backs are even worse

You might need them. After a few months, I would think that a few will popup on AVExchange for $150. That's what I will do if I hate mine.

I ordered right when I posted this, but I will let you know when the confirmation comes through

Will try. But I'm a bad reviewer, lol

OH! Please write a comparison when you get them.

Oh wait, that is how Mike Tyson got his neck

I have LCD-XC already but I bought them too. I don't know why :)

I don't need them but I'm tempted.....

I'm still waiting for the payment to be processed, I'm hoping they don't cancel my order!

You make an important, VERY important and often over-looked point: focus and attention... and entertainment... hear me out:

On a bike: have to pay constant attention, be alert, but also, enjoy the scenery blah blah blah -- your attention is on too many things to "notice" the helmet and it's inconvenience. Not to mention you want the helmet for safety so your brain is LESS likely to be like "yo... take this fucking thing off"

Listening to our Audeze: your focus is, most likely, on your music - maybe split with work or a movie if you're using your cans that way... your brain is MUCH more likely to complain because the cans are PART of what you're focusing on... maybe the MOST focus is on your cans, so of course any discomfort is going to show up "faster"

When I'm playing video games, I can wear my Fidelio X2 for a long time, when I'm on my computer working, I can't for nearly as long.

yeah guys, I'm mostly down to VE Monks now and about an hour of the lightest Porta Pro/ksc7 driverswapmadness and even THOSE get annoying on my ears.

VE monks are the only thing I can wear all day that does NOT make me feel like I'm sacrificing sound quality (too much)

It's sad but I'm honestly thinking about selling all but maybe one of my over and on ear cans. IEMs, earbuds and speakers will see me through this life...

Love me some good IEMs . One day I'll make it to CanJAM and upgrade from the 800s .

Bought! Best deal ever

Just so you guys know, they got layering and depth like no other. The bass is soft and controlled.

Can’t wait to receive the Closed back version. 😎

Probably the transients. They're always sneaking around back there.

How long did it take you to get an order confirmation?

Goddamnit. I just ordered this. Going from the 560s to this, since I'm in the market for a closed back and I was hoping to try a planar. My upgrade path to edition XS and trying a (good) closed back might have been completely upended.

There's basically no reviews of this on this subreddit or on YouTube. Barely any internet articles, and a small 5 page thread on head fi. But the rest of monoprice's lineup reviews well, and this is a killer deal.

This was the best ChatGPT could do to summarize it:

>It appears that you are describing a process of rendering high-quality audio, similar to the quality found in Hollywood CGI graphics and Dolby Atmos sound. You have a supercomputer that can output true audio that is better than real life, with limits based on the speaker material's ability to change directions and vibrate sharply. You use Hifiman speakers, which require more power but can produce a more powerful and thunderous sound. MQA is a logo for lossless audio that can sound amazingly better when used with modern recording techniques and the correct hardware and software. However, people often consider it a scam because it has strict requirements and can discard some noise or things speakers don't do. You play back MQA on a refurbished cheap AT&T LG V60 using an Onkyo HF player app with direct transfer mode enabled, strong compression, and lower latency for most things.

Oh I've done that using the accursed "Reply All". Not pretty but at least I wasn't fired! President of the company made brutal fun of me at staff though. Ah the good old days when you could insult the hell of of your co-workers lineage, race and religion and still get invited to the family BBQ! I miss those days...

Athad500x users getting the best of both worlds.

👍🔥

If I didn't already have headphones like this (LCD-XC) I would jump on this.

Oh no, these are planar headphones.
